some one found a back door link to the big pond touring car site so you can watch the race on the net does any one have the link I cant find it cheers

they are prob seconds they were being sold on ebay last year I got one then rang autotek in melb who was the company supplying them to fpv and found out they were seconds . The problem was were the fpv logo on the bottom of the wheel ,there was a little bit of hot glue stuck to the leather. Now fpv get them from momo themselves now there a very little supply as there are no seconds around cheers

Update spoke to speedy today they are replacing all my wheels a new full set on saturday so will have to wait and see if these move I hope this will be a fix

Well the latest is Had rim checked came back ok um ???? had all tyres refitted all beads and tyres beads sqeaky clean they applied a black rubber compound re fitted marked tyres. Went for a slow drive of about 5 kms went back to tyre store the rears moved 5inches and the front about 4inches over the 3 days they kept moving.Back to tyre store ,changed 1 rear tyre with a second hand well known brand its moved half way around the rim in 8kms so its the rims not the tyres.Now I have to wait till the head manager gets back from holidays on Monday its either a new set of wheels from a differant batch or a full refund I will have to wait and see.

can you premanently turn the tc botton off so it you dont have to press the button all the time??

mine rattles when the sun shade is opened ford tried fixing but no luck might contact the manufacturer for advice the ford service dont know jack cheers bosco

its easy on the drivers side un do the batt clamp and tilt the bat back so you can get you hand in to remove the blubs and you need the grab the socket and squash the plug a little so it will release, remove rubber boot and unclip the bulb. do reverse to install but dont touch the bulb.on the passenger side remove air box out of the way and do the same as the other side cheers xr6

I dont want it to be the tyres the tyre guy is not that help full and if its the tyres I can see myself being screwed

I have seen turbo exhuasts and gts go for peanuts 50 to 100 bucks they cost a heap to post try local then try ebay

update over xmas marked all wheels and tyre to see if the other wheels move all have moved on the rims some 1 inch the rears 6 to 8 inches spoke to tyrepower the company that fitted them basiclly told to naff off spoke to speedy they say the wheels perfect but are willing to check the rears first so I had to pay for the tyre to be removed and the rim has been sent to HQ to check the dimensions also spoken to the tyre wholsaler and they recon its the wheels so I will have to wait and see back from speedy I just hope its the wheels the tyre wholesaler doest seem that help full advice try checking you owen wheels and tyres mark the rim with a texta and the tyre with a whiteout pen then go for a spirited drive and see if your are moving report back later cheers bosco

howdy I recon your colour really suits the xr logo decals for the front and the back I have photoshoped the on and also fixed up your little scratch on the front bar what do you think?? by the way they are still for sale in the market section in this forum

I had alsorts of problems with tempe I ended up with speedy wheels but had the same problem with the rear caps foulling the end of the drive shaft just take the wheel off and grind off the excess of the end it doesnt need to be that long then replace the cap with the flush one mine are 18 x 8 with 245 and the rear are 18 x9 with 265 cheers bosco

well explain how the two marks are away from each other

I nicked the tyre and a small mark on the rim now the nick in the tyre is about 6inchs away from the mark on the rim so I have marked each tyre at the valve to see if all are moving on the rims

ever since I have had the wheels fitted tc light flashes on occasions the tyres are slipping on the rear rims they are speedy wheels with nankang tyres has anyone had or heard of this problem ??

I am looking at lowering my xr6 but a little worried that I wont be able to get up the drive etc .What I am after is what is the distance from the middle of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch guard front and back and what model springs you have all help is much appreciated cheers bosco

does any one have a recipt for one of these gear knob mine has worn thru and they want exchange it without a recipt I can return it after as ford parts are covered by a nation wide warrenty so the location is ok any body cheers

not bad at all did you have to put wheel spacers or did they just bolt on and what type of springs have you fitted and can you supply some pics on changing the front springs and one more thing were did you get the impact gun and are they any good cheers bosco

nice wheels I have the same model but in silver with 245 on the front and 265 on the rear ,just be carefull with the wheel nuts the normal sockets hit the paint finish and cause them to chip you need the thin wall socket ,now I just need to lower it cheers bosco

hi all I work next a foundry that pumps a sh*t load of crap in the air and lands on my car I have tried megs stuff that's crap the fallout sticks tried klasse good but doest last and the fallout sticks tried zanio not on bit of fallout has stuck and the paint looks heaps better than when I bought it and so smooth and because the dirt doesnt stick the car looks clean all the time . the stuff is so strong you cant remove it with dishwashing soap as you can with any other sealers you have to use prepsol its that tuff. Zanio is not cheap but when you look at how much your car is worth its a small price to pay to make it that little bit better And yes you have to remove all you old waxs before you apply any new polish or sealer as if you dont all you will be doing is mixing your old polish with the new polish and not getting the best finish possible here are a few good detailling sites eclipse is a good site to buy stuff from and the others are good to get info from some of the forums are fantasic esp autopia the guys in the us really go over board have a look thru the garage section and see some of there workshops and how much car detailling stuff they own cheers http://www.eclipsedetailing.com.au/index.html http://www.autogeek.net/ http://autopia.org/ http://www.detailparadise.com.au/index.php http://www.detailcity.com/modules.php?name=Jig

I got a zanio polishing kit from eclipse detailing a while back I spent saturday washing ,claying ,and polishing the xr with this great stuff I have only put on 1 coat of sealant I still need to put on 3 more but I ran out of time the paint is so smooth and glossy. what does everyone else use and what are your results?? cheers

well here is what I got twin 2.5 inch tips they was going to put on 3 in but it would be too big what do think

I am looking at changing my rear exhaust tip to twin chrome what size does every one have with this conversion?? cheers

whats the story with a xr logos were the ford badges are ,were did you get them and how much if you dont mind me asking they look sweet never seen them before ?? * Looks like it could be a photochop job? blink.gif I had the badges printed on vinyl they just stick over your ford badge if anyone would like a set there is one for the front and one for the rear they are $10.00 posted just pm me your details cheers bosco PS they do look wicked

howdy I would stay away from tempe all they did for me was give me the run around for 10 weeks and as for wheel spaces the last time I rang and when I questioned them regarding spacers they told me I would need them @ 50 bucks a corner that's another 200 bucks on top of the price.The wheels you are looking at are the same as the gmax m-190 model they come in 18x8 18x9 19x8 19x9 with a diamond cut lip there wheels look well made and nicly finished cheers bosco
