1ute

I've been on a cruise where they left me behind. Not for my lack of power though (6 speed 5.7). I'm sure you guys will keep away from each other enough for the rest of us to keep up. Won't you

Thanks for the thought Greg. I will try not to break any bones tomorrow. Cro - You barsted ! I thought you were busy ! Anyway, have a great day and dont get too sideways

Hahaha, good on you 1ute, nice and close to us Canberrans too! Hope you have fun and give those Expensive Daewoo boys a lesson (and that pesky AMG if it's there too!). I would love to do a track day if I wasn't such a chickensh1t and so worried about insurance issues! TOO CHICKEN !?!?!? You know,,,,You don't have to drive like you stole it. If I dont go, I might go skiing instead - Sunday - Strong to gale force S winds, cool day with some light scattered snowshowers above 1600-1700m early - mainly in the NSW resorts clearing later

I sent a PM. Pick me, pick me ! It's also my birthday on Sunday I did donate to the fourm yesterday (for the first time).

Done, $50 deposited over the counter at 12:30 today. I sent a PM to Admin.

You will have a choice to dirt or not to dirt.

Cro, I don't think anyone is interested in your specials from Fyshwick!!!! I need an airel and cable Thinking of standing it on the passenger side somewhere.

that happened to me today while I was driving.. After bumping the rev limiter hard in first. When I changed to second I think I was in limp mode. I quickly put it in netural then turned it off and on again (I was on a straight road)..all better.. I have also seen a mates heavily modified T do it from a cold start. Maybe limp mode needs to be a little more robust.

Fun and twisty in the dirt or after the dirt?

WOW ! If you tried that sort of fuel usage in my Phase II you would - *Have no tires left. *Have big dents in the front from ramming holdens up the arse all the time. *Have a big smile but no licence. *Be public enemy No1 within a week. Just a thought..Dont mod you car...LOL....

3 days... They had to get it from another dealer up the road. I test drove it with 4 or so km on the clock. The bad part was not being able to choose the sound option. The sales man said, "you can only listen to one cd at a time anyway". Now I'm counting how many times I nearly crash while changing the damn cd ! Last count was about 3 times in 8 months.

hmm, Standard I can only get 550 to a tank on the highway and 220 to 300 around town! thank god fuel is sooo cheap! The book says the Ute has a bigger tank. I think it's even 10L bigger but I cant be bothered to check right now.

Hi. I get to Syd and back (ACT) on one tank with 50km to spare... So, HWY driving, I get 650 to 700km per 75L (Ute tank is bigger??). Ps: phase II, six speed.

Thanks mate.

I use a very advanced method to gauge any difference.. When the fuel warning light comes on at 100km to go and beeps at 80km to go...I notice the fuel needle is nearly on empty.. This is the same as what happened stock. So, I assume the computer is still accurate.

I filled up in Cooma with Vortex 98 @ $1.22 per L. This was about two months ago.. I'll come along.. This Gull?!?! Is that past the Queanbeyan Ski club boat ramp? Can anyone post a map with its location...(I'm new to Canberra)..

With a manual, what would 272kw be at the flywheel? Any idea of 1\4 mile times for a ute?

I was told to change oil anywhere from 5000 to 8000km but now I'm up to 11000. I would also like to hear sugestions on oil type.

I paid $120 for an oil and filter change at 3000km. Start at $120 and add extra labour ! I will not take the car back to Ford because of my mod's. I have a 3year(??) Ford warrenty and another 2years dealer warrenty. I will lose the dealer warrenty because I do not service with my dealer. Whose to say that I will own the car in 3years anyway.

Clutch slipping - not good! Generally tends to just get worse. When you are forced to get a new clutch, definitely time to get an upgraded clutch give it looks like you are at Phase 2. If the car is at speed, the clutch is ok. Its only when taking off from low speeds in 4th. Yeah mate...phase 2.. I was just reading of a $1200 clutch option in another thread. The clutch is ok if you rev out every gear..It just doesnt like taking off in fourth.. I'm sure there is slip in other gears but I cant notice it.

I only notice slipage in 4th at low speeds. Oh well, I guess I just have to hold 3rd to redline

I'm wondering how loud this noise is? I have my CD's playing at around 10 to 14... Can you still hear the noise over the CD player? I had a problem for about a week where I couldnt shift from 6th to 5th but after a week of "raming it", everything returned to normal. The car has 11000 km now and unless something goes bang, I'm pretty happy with it. My complaint is the rev limiter and how the car massively backfires when I hit the limiter...The smoke from the backfire looks like a burnout in the rear view mirror. Oh, and the clutch sucks.....If I put my foot down in fourth at about 60kph, the tacho goes wild but there is no forward momentm.

So long as the question has nothing to do with actual fact,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I heard off a friend of a friend of a QLD cop that the whole family is a bunch of pot heads.
