  1. Get them to weld the tips on with stainless welding wire/rods. The welds will be stainless and wont rust. ← Exactly.
  2. topic replied to Bain's BrentS in Ford Discussion
    Looks nice. Now all you need to do is lower it and put some nice rims on
  3. I dont know why you guys are debating this. Its all in your manual.. (see below pic) 91 is fine to run on BA models..
  4. Wait till around 8 - 10 at night and take it down to those Wash joints with the evil brushes. Rather than use the brush, fill up a bucket and use your wool sponge like you would at home. that's what I do when water restrictions come into play..
  5. Ill get some updated sound clips as the sound has since gotten alot deeper.
  6. Heres 2 clips. 1st: Outside the car, doing a drive off and drive by.. heh 2nd: Short acceleration clip from inside the car. (right click and save as) All up it cost me about $240 (receipts in the car - ill double check that afterwards) that's including the 2 stainless steel tips. When you take it to your exhaust place, make sure they can weld with stainless steel, otherwise your weld joints will start to rust if they use standard mild steel.
  7. Mika. Give Daalder Exhausts in Box Hill a call. They did my twin hotdogs and Stainless steel tips. I have a soundclip of in the car and outside of the car aswell if you want that.
  8. You do realise its a TV show right?? Created to provide entertainment for people? Anyhow - was a cool episode.
  9. god some of you guys are dumbasses.. Seeing as the car seems to be 1 of the first cars to have it done they are probably running it in.. 247kw is probably a mild tune. I cant wait to start seeing threads about POS Omega's leaving you guys in their dust.
  10. Colour looks crap. Bonnet looks good.
  11. 1. Anything that doesnt have the FORD logo on it is apparently sh*t. 2. Someone can always change their gears quicker then you without even showing a video of it. 3. Lots of people want to copy others when it comes to rims. 4. Standard response to fuel consumption issues is.. ITS A TURBO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT blah blah blah 5. There are those who get wogged and then there is everyone else 6. Lowered + no wing + nice rims = 7. More one eyed people on these forums then people care to admit. 8. Spam is so rampant on these forums it makes it not worth looking at most of the time.
  12. grats on the lowering. But to show the difference, why dont you post pics on the same angles? Youve got low pics for the stock height (making it higher) and high shots on the lowered car making it look .. lower?
  13. topic replied to Bain's sinnkexr6t in Brakes
    ive done the whole painting thing.. All black though.. Im embarrassed my brakes are so small You also need to paint around your rotors as the rust doesnt look all that good!
  14. Check the grommets in the engine bay where the blowing air noise is coming from. When I drove mine new out of the Ford Dealership I got up to 60m/h and had that issue.. Took it back and they checked in the engine bay, a grommet had come loose!
  15. 10,000kms, changed out at 12,000km's though I did alot of hill run's though.
  16. topic replied to Bain's Bain in XR6 Turbo
    Thanks guys. I might go see the servicing department at the dealership and see what they have to say on this matter.. Will let you all know after lunch.
  17. a topic posted Bain in XR6 Turbo
    Howdy all, Wierd question here. Can the owners of BA MKII XR6T's let me know if you have the airvents along the silver strip? Pic below is my car with the missing air vents. This pic has them. (BA MKII) I know the MKI BA XR6T came with them. My MKII has them missing and I want to find out if its a 'manufacturing fault' Cheers, Achilleos
  18. Driving around the Nürburgring.. Has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I got to do it a few months ago. In a BMW Series 5. I have plenty more happy moments in my life. (Purchasing my House, my cars) Have 2 wonderful soul mates. (My partner and my little dog)
  19. topic replied to Bain's jeromie0 in XR6 Turbo
    Yeah, it can still be done. But im not a fat bastard with wide feet, so I dont really bother in this car. If I was doing track days and stuff, id probably get my pedals modified. But as it is, I only do hill runs with mates. No real need or urgency for heel/toeing..
  20. topic replied to Bain's RubyXR6T in FPV & Tickford
    uh huh.. lol Have you seen one of the D1 guys in the Expensive Daewoo Monaro on Top Gear.. While a car plays a big role in it, so does the driver.
  21. topic replied to Bain's jeromie0 in XR6 Turbo
    Compared to previous cars ive driven. The BA sucks for heel toeing because of the staggered pedals. You could modify your pedals... BMW got it right
  22. topic replied to Bain's RubyXR6T in FPV & Tickford
    Have you people seen the guy trying to drift that car? Id pull out to.. from embarrasment.. That guy trully sucked ass..
  23. topic replied to Bain's BOoya in Off-Topic
    Keen golfer here Ben Have myself a full set of King Cobra semi blades - 2 iron to sandwedge. About to sign up to my local club again (havent played in 6+ months) I havent bought anything online though for golf stuff. We got some pretty nice warehouse/discount golfing shops here in Melbourne.
  24. Im with HBA (cant remember who they are underwritten by..I will check when I get home) With all mods included its costing me $872 a year.. Rating 1, 28 years old - 1 speeding ticket - garaged in Edithvale - 1 of the lowest crimes rates in melbourne.
  25. Top 2 pics look awsome. The last one (on the angle) looks silly.. Most angle shots do though.. Unless its a steep hill for which I apologise.
