  1. yeah I'll be there for sure, she should hold together....hopfully.... Dave.
  2. Sweet.....but it's too far away (time), I can't wait that long and I don't think the old EF will hold together that long either....it being having troubles lately....it's just gotta stay together for 5 more months, please???? Dave.
  3. you know how ppl carry on about how weak the manual T-5 is, well this should be a good test as to how good the auto and manual are. My guess is with this sort about power the auto will give up way before the manual will....you see you can still drive a stuffed manual, it just grates an is hard to get into gear, where are the autos clutch packs just slip and won't get the power down also the auto would cost a sh*te load more to rebuild then the manual, ALSO I'm pretty sure there would heaps more hot up bits for the T-5 then the BTR auto. Dave.
  4. do they make drag slicks for 16s?? as 16s are the only ones that will fit BAs... Dave...
  5. So where and when is it going to be?? or is the old EF not invited :( Dave.

    yeah for sure, that pic is out of motor, PCOTY....it's the citrus rush turbo they used, which has clearly been touch-up.... doesn't look bad though.... Dave....
  7. I meant the all the stock XR6 autos on here....that's what I would beat... Dave.
  8. I don't like the way it changes down....in a manual I always 'blip' the throttle on the way down, the auto won't do that it just sounds like some retard that doesn't blip the throttle as they slowly slip the clutch out.... Dave.

    sweet, so CAPA said that the computer won't know the difference.....in other words, ford won't know that anything dodgy is going on?? Dave.
  10. good luck with that.....

    so basically what we need a bleed valve for the turbo to raise boost and then something to trick the pressure senser that everything is still stock.... then everything you take it into be service you remove the valve and ford would be nun the wiser.... correct?? Dave.
  12. gotta love those 19 inch BBS rims, I would love a set but alas the cost is hugh....also it looks like Herrod has finally built an exhaust for the turbo...it's about bloody time!!!! Dave.
  13. yeah I saw that...twas good viewing.... Dave.
  14. two questions: what Blue Prine?? and where's Harvest Green??
  15. fordboy1981 replied to a post in a topic in FPV & Tickford
    yeah I'm with silverhawk all the way!!! autos blow!!! Dave.
  16. sulphur.....
  17. don't care either way.....just make sure you let me know.... Dave.
  18. the problem is once the kit and new headlining is in, it very hard to get to the drains, you have to pull part of the headlining down and then refit it and that can result in problems.... Dave.
  19. count me in, I'd like to give the old EF an run before I sell it....be good to have a dyno print out for selling.... Dave....
  20. not a problem lighting.....also one thing that ppl forget is that sunroofs need to be serviced, to clean drains and check for any faults....ford should do with their servicing.... Dave.
  21. two things: 1. why were you leaving her outside in the rain!!!!! 2. you put super (leaded fuel) in your new unleaded car?? do you have ant idea what that will do it?? the engine will be fine but the cat will get way too hot and melt!!!! you silly, silly man robbo!!!! Dave.
  22. well for you guys I could probabily do it trade, I'd have to check with the boss.....that's $1700..... give us a call.....still don't have the no. I really should found out what it is the company's called ultracool sunroof and trimming. Dave....
  23. all the V8s run a the Tremac TR3550....
  24. well I'm not too sure about the AU/BA ute, we have actually never done one before!!....but you could easily fit a Large Emerald, which is a 1-way pop-up style 'roof. The large is about the same size as the TVS 43.5 that we fit to AU/BA sedans (these are all Hollandia sunroofs, the same that ford and Expensive Daewoo fit standard). one of the guys at work has an XF ute with an Emerald extra large in it, now that's a big 'roof, it's over 1100mm wide!!! I think it's the largest one available.....anyhoo give as a call at Ultracool sunroof and trimming, I can't remember the phone no. though (I don't have to ring work very often)....also the Emerald extra larges are going pretty cheap, they don't sell very well as they don't fit in too many cars... anyhoo I hope that helps... Dave.
