  1. I have a 2010 FG XR6T and get a thud from the rear when the cluth re-engages after a hard gear shift. This isn't evident when changing normally and slipping the clutch, only with hard changes. It's not overly apparent with hard back off's, only slightly...would I be right in assuming this is likely to be a worn diff bush?
  2. I've had her for about a month now. 2010 model with 40,000kms on it. I paid $28K. Previous owner had the car from new and had fitted an SS Growler CAI, pedders springs to lower it an inch and some cheap jobby $450 CAT back 3" exhaust from ebay. Generally in pretty good condition, bonnet and possibly front bar may need a respray as there is what looks like a screwdriver gouge out of the bonnet and a whole bunch of sotne chips too, and that scratch you can see in the front right hand portion of the bumper (which I only noticed after it was detailed)...if I decided it bothers me and want to be picky. Pretty stoked with it so far, I can definitely see how easy it would be to get bitten hard by the mod bug. I've already purchased a short shifter and some new diff, gearbox and engine oil from mainlube. Oh and yep, I can see how the centre of the dash will be a fingerprint and dust magnet. I think the dash, being black, and not silver is one of the things that attracted me to this model. Looks a little less pov pack than the standard silver dash
  3. Yeah I'm a fan of the rims...just a shame you can't really fit bigger brakes under them. Bonnet was a custom job by the previous owner, there are holes in the scoops (XB GT scoops I was told) in there so air will flow through...but it's mainly a looks thing I think.
  4. Just thought I'd share some photos that were taken after I had my new car professionaly detailed
  5. Did this today, made a massive difference...didn't make the factory sub sound amazing, but it made it sound nice enough that I no longer feel the need to rush out and upgrade my stereo...yet... Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk 4

  7. G'day all, Stumbled on this site a few years ago when I was thinking about buying a BA turbs so started doing some reading but never actually got around to buying a car. Well, I recently purchased a 2010 FG XR6T 50th Anniversary manual with 40,000kms on the clock. Has been one owner since new and he's fitted a "sports exhaust" to it (not sure which one at this stage, I only got the car the night before I had to fly up to site) a growler CAI and lowered it 1inch all round, but it hasn't been tuned yet. Keen to get into some mods. Literally only driven the car once since taking ownership (admittedly that one drive lasted most of the night haha) and have already ordered a Mal Woods short throw shifter and am looking into ordering some Mainlube gearbox oil to add in when installing the shifter. According to those who have done this it seems to make the gearbox feel much nicer than stock. First round of mods will probably be valve springs, injectors, cooler and a tune. Loving the car though, first performance car I've owned so it's nice to drive something exciting
