If you're fussy, have a look under the front bumper. Mine had a few mm shaved off the bottom where it was probably launched off a truck ramp or something

for the 6 speed auto?

Mate just confirm this before you buy as I got caught out. Subaru dealer offered warranty extension at any time and when I went to purchase the warranty extension at service time was no longer available Overall good service though.

Sorry link is: Travel Planner

Have a look at the travel planner on the RACQ website. Times are pretty conservative but a good indication. You can look at different routes by adding that you want to travel through certain towns.

Thanks, I'll look. and if that's what it is, surely that's covered under warranty? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try the left foot light brake application over bumps though...my rattle stops when I do this indicating brakes.

I don't understand.. why does this need replacing? Can somone explain this. I will mention that the tin rattle sound when going over vibrations in the road is back (just had this fixed by ford prior to getting the exhaust mod) Not sure if I wanna ask ford to fix again, as they will question the Centre muffler <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I assume the heat shield needed to come off to do the exhaust work and was wondering if you put it back on or not.

Aidan did you replace heat sheild or is it a waste of time? Other threads mention it's not really needed. Hardy

Andrew I did and service changed it for 15w40. Have a look at this thread for detail. Hardy http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...wtopic=9079&hl=

APS website states "APS Boss Edit Real Time reprogramming of all BA engine management computers - available early 2005. INFORMATION AVAILABLE SOON"

exar have a look at this thread - might be your rattle. Mine still does it too. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...=14210&hl=shims

Ford isn't new to market initiative imo (XR6T, Territory, F6, DOHC V8s)

Will give it a try. Driveway is not steep at all but is very steep in and out of the actual gutter - left front and right rear wheels pushed up into the guards.

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the replies. Good advice sbr

I can't figure out why I can't get my stock T in my driveway sometimes... There is a fair dip where the road camber and the driveway meet and when approaching it and turning left into the driveway at an angle to not bottom out, the left rear wheel spins in the gutter as it is only just touching the road and the car won't drive forward. The TC light comes on but doesn't seem to drop torque or brake the wheel as the manual says it should at low speed. Shouldn't the LSD transfer power to the other wheel and that drive the car forward across the dip? I have to roll back and try different angles or a bit more speed to roll over the dip without bottoming out.

Why are you embarassed? You didn't build the car.

I would rather wait for the APS product to be released hopefully bug free rather than have a "work in progress" tested on my car.

I read that the launch control is pretty serious - so much so that after a certain number of times used (10?) BMW start voiding warranty. Nice car. Having your expectations exceeded on something with the cred of an M3 must be pretty good.

Only milk and orange juice....

Yellow is sooooo 2001/SP20

The wife likes to closely follow trucks carrying stones as a paint cleaner and then finish with a protective cover of tree sap :violin: Never heard of a clay bar - will have a look.

Don't let them burn you on your trade in value after all that. I like to take a print of a glass/red book valuation with me.

This trend seems to be linked to similar deficiency/envy syndromes such as short person syndrome and small syndrome, ie, something obvious to make up for :lol: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Geez that reads badly...somebody stop me...where the hell is that edit button gone I meant that they need to make up for the colour...oh well, no cruises for me
