  1. Thanks. Is 32% Fuel Trim normal after a battery reset. Seems excessive to me and explains the increased fuel.comsumption. Does it mean someone's tuned it to be richer.
  2. Hey BAT gurus, I reset the ECU by leaving the battery off for a few days and then plugged an ELM327 in and using Car Scanner with ignition on it scanned STFT B1 as 32.03% and STFT B2 as 32.03% and O2 Sensor 1 B2 as 1.28V. I've attached the Screenshots. Are these readings right as the car is completely stock but uses 15L/100km City Cycle.
  3. Cheapest tyres that won't foul the arms and keep the speedo within +/- 5km. Not much up here in Townsville but I can get Yoky V105 - 225/45/18 cheap @ $200 each or a Triangle 235/40/18 @ $135 or stick with a Hilo or Winrun 245/40/18 at $150. Load ratings are all at least 93. It's a stock daily driver with 180k.
  4. Quick Question What size tyres other than 245/40/18 have you fitting on the front and rear of a standard height suspension 2005 BA2 XR6T Sedan with 18" FG Snowflakes. Thanks.
  5. Thanks mate. Been scraping for hours. I'd say the previous mechanic siliconed it all up before I bought it to pass the Safety Certificate. I'm using Brake Cleaner but it's not working. I'll keep scraping.
  6. Hey Fellow T's, How do you remove melted rocker cover gasket. The rest was melted and brittle and when removed took half the red paint off but is finally out. The 2 hour gasket job is in its 2nd day. Cheers.
  7. I ended up putting 245/40/18 Boto Vantage H8 on the FG Snowflakes on my BA Turbo Sedan and the so called rim protector did nothing to stop just minor gutter rash when I just touched the gutter when parallel parking so I am getting 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 dirt cheap. Just didn't know if they will foul the front strut arm thingo. The backs should be fine.
  8. Hey mate, did you end up making one yourself. I looked at a heap of 90 degree rubber boots but no luck. I think the FG vent hose uses the same rubber boot and is much cheaper than the BA one.
  9. Hey, can you just replace the rubber boot on the 6C661 or is it fixed to the plastic tubing.
  10. My 05 BA2 T M6 always sat just slightly above 1/4 and after the 160k coolant change at 33.3/40% it sits between 1/3 and 1/2 now. It's 16yo totally stock and still going hard but noticed on YouTube most T's sit below the 1/2 mark. Everyday I don't ring RACQ for a tow is a blessing 🤞
  11. Hey Guys, I too have had the Clutch Return Spring snap and cut my right leg. It's a BA2 Turbo with the T56. The Clutch Pedal was always heavy with the Standard Ford Clutch and after the Xtreme HD Clutch was installed it was just as heavy then it just snapped. In the morning the Pedal is slightly depressed and after a few pumps it seems to come back to normal height. Can you let me know what Valve Spring you used as I thought it had a hook end but if it is a flat end even better. Thanks.
  12. Hey mate, I know it's 10 years later but did the GM Alloy CSC work on the Ford T56. I went to buy one for $70 and was told the GM CSC had a smaller bore hole and would not fit over the Ford input shaft so I bought the Mal Wood Ford Alloy CSC for $200.
  13. Hey, any T56 owners out there can tell me if the clutch line broke off or the CSC fitting broke off ??? Is there a braided clutch line available ??? It's an Xtreme HD Clutch and CrMo Flywheel kit with the CSC installed Nov 2017 with 20,000km on it.
  14. Cheers guys. Carmichael Ford in Townsville will only sell me the complete tailshaft for $1,700 and said the coupling is not available separately for the BA Turbo. I told him that the BA XR8 coupling was the same and he said that was $240 but not in stock. I was told it was made in Germany and then was told that Kelpro and Transgold were half the price and came out of the same SGF factory in Germany. I've been quoted $95 for the Mackay one but was told it was made in China. I'll try and source a Genuine one ?
  15. So no-one has replaced their tailshaft coupling at all or remember what brand they used ???
  16. Mackay DC6069 or Kelpro KDC1001 Which tailshaft coupling is better for a standard BA XR6 Turbo T56 ??? I was told Mackay was made in China and Kelpro made in Germany. Cheers
  17. 5 years later and I'm still confused over why Ford did not choose to stick with the 235/40/18 when it's diameter is effectively the same as a 235/45/17 thus no need to change the computer. I think it was a ploy to sell 245/40/18 tyres by Dunslop and make people pay extra $$$'s for a tyre size only Ford use. I suppose Ford and the girls think 1 cm extra makes a big difference lol. I think the VE did the same and uses 245/45/18 tyres. Anyway has anyone used the Achillies 123S street legal semi slicks before and will 265/35/18 fit on the FG Snowflake rims on a BA turbo sedan. Only ask cos they are dirt cheap for me. Cheers.
  18. OK. If I use the GM unit do I use a spacer/shim to get the correct height ??? Cheers.
  19. I'm in the same boat and "Yes" my mechanic is going to check the old csc hasn't leaked onto the clutch. If so then I will replace the clutch but it feels fine atm like yours. If the clutch slips later on then it's another $400 labour pulling it out again so I'll live with it and I'll put a CI twin plate clutch in. Did you get the alloy piston csc with earls line or the std plastic csc from Mal. I've also heard (actually been told) I can use the alloy csc from the err... VT-VZ. $100 Cheaper. Damn Holdens lol.
  20. Hey, has anyone installed the alloy piston CSC from the VT-VZ into their T56. I've heard genuine and aftermarket ones for the Fords have a plastic piston and not as strong or last as long as the alloy (err yuck) Expensive Daewoo units. Cheers. Oh I'm installing a CI RPM2293N and don't want the plastic one leaking on it in a few years or so.
  21. Hey, has anyone used the new 49187 and can comment on NVH etc. Says to remove the factory outer shell whereas the older 49159A fit into the factory outer shell. Also half the price so wondering if worthwhile or stick with the SuperPro Comfort option. Cheers.
  22. 2005 BA2 XR6T 6 speed manual with 99k on the clock - 34l of Shell 95 and I get 280km - 34l of Shell V-Power 98 and get 250km - All city driving trips (between 5km and 15km max) changing at 2500rpm using 5th gear at 64kph
  23. Ok so 15W-40 is recommended for my BA2 XR6T but my mechanic puts in Fuchs 10W-30 which is recommended for the BA2 XR6 N/A. He said I supposed to get better fuel economy. Is he on drugs or am I supposed to get better fuel economy. Std engine with 6 speed manual and get 280km out of 34 litres of Shell Premium 95.
  24.
