  1. Nah - am sure there were a few over the last couple of days of double posts - can't find them now, may have been cleaned up (or a figment of my imagination)
  2. Someone forgot to tie it down. Go to love the locals and how they all stopped to check on the driver/offer assistance. I think one person actually left their vehicle to see?
  3. Heaps of double posts from you lately Kimberley
  4. Would be expecting closer to 290-310rwkw with the FG turbo and those mods? Did they suggest the valve springs? Don't think they're usually done on the FG's at that level?
  5. Upgrading to T2 slotted rotors and Bendix Ultimate pads were a brilliant upgrade for me. Made the brakes feel how they should have stock - not the extremely disappointing OEM setup the car originally came with. This was the first change I made to my car (well before its first service) and couldn't have been done soon enough. In reality the pads are (I believe) what made the most difference (more so than the rotors for normal road driving). If wanting to limit expenditure and current rotors are fine then I'd try the pad/fluid change.
  6. Ah - that must have been what I was reading. Cheers
  7. Excellent. I hear they also bring the tranny up to temp quicker - that has to be a good thing given the number of short trips I do.
  8. Have never heard of 4blok - any further info? To the OP - if after a cat there's a group buy in the pipeline for the Venom cat - I'd be looking there http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88755-venom-cat-group-buy/#entry1486769
  9. Are you meaning the ZF cooler Mick?   Will be on board if that's the one
  10. Caught myself out once - didn't drop, but a big step sideways
  11. Reminded me of this thread http://img.pr0gramm.com/2014/07/21/19a80c8e5351720c.webm
  12. Will raise that (whatever it is) with Peter Peppers
  13. Doesn't really negate it - more of a separate issue I've had for years WRT long weekends In Vic we get all our public holidays in a 7 month (10/11 within a 6 month) period with nothing during the remaining months. Would be much happier to use one of the floating ones during the long winter/spring period than on a "next working day" sort of deal.
  14. It's a date specific day I've got no problem with them keeping it that. Taking an extra day off on the next work day if it's over a weekend isn't giving the substituted day any special meaning. Personally - I'd be happier if they added a day in the 2nd half of the year (when public holidays are non-existant) to be a public holiday in lieu of ones "lost" due to them falling on weekends
  15. If ANZAC day falls on a Weds should we move it to a Monday to make it a long weekend?
  16. Agree totally Tab.
  17. Adelaide Velocity - it was in Adelaide. If it was in Melbourne they would have taken the car as well as the doughnuts and left the victims bleeding (or worse)
  18. Not saying that - quattro could well be innocent and just asking a question (and probably is). Don't think Dags would troll the forum either. He has enough fun/trouble with it straight - more likely someone who had a beer on a friday night and decided to poke the bear. There are the occasional 1st posters that ask questions (sometimes with usernames that help) that are a little too provocative to be totally innocent. Am not going to call out any posts, just float the possibility that some may not be real virgin.
  19. Probably easier to do than it was to get the V6 in there in the first place. Might want to check your P-Plate conditions though - might not be allowed to have the XR6 turbo, but a VW diesel turbo may be allowed. As per condition of entry to forums though - pics of cars are compulsory Wish the forum had IP flagging, so we could work out the innocent 1st questions from regular users who make a new account to toss down some bait.
  20. LPG the cleanest?
  21. Wow - thought it was just the Yanks that had such a short sighted world-view
  22. Doing well - only in the front wheel wells or rear as well?
  23. Electric?
  24. I'd be ducking into a body shop before they close for the weekend to ask if they have some suggestions to remove it before it gets much older if possible - then hunt for the f*cker
