I've been running it in my T for a few months now, it's GREAT! I've had the car tuned on Ultimate98 and it was just too many $$$ so went to the Boost98 when it came out. The difference is very noticeable. After 3 or 4 tank fulls it just got better. As I'm selling the car now I've had it sitting in the shed for 4 weeks just so as not to put too many kms on her, started it up a couple of times to make sure everything was ok. Today I started it up again for a drive down the GOR. NO problems at all, runs smooth as silk. Much better than the BP Ultimate.

Has anyone heard anything about the track day at Sandown this Sunday 14th Aug? I hear it's open to XR8's andthere's a couple of different classes. Wouldn't mind going if anyone has further details.

[ Who ever has the most coin to spend, brembo's/Alcon, proflex, race tyres etc.etc. These old buckets are built as a mum's taxi not a racecar! The reason they are only concerned about 1/4 mile is because they don't have the coin. In circuit racing the car is the cheapest part & to run these things you'd need to budget at least $100,000. A mate of mine this year alone has spent over $35,000 on his Improved production Subi. That's just the damage bill, not including tyres, fuel ($5/litre), tuning, race fees, accomodation etc. Also there should be 2 classes to compare Xr6t's down the qtr mile. 1st class unmodded internals, with modded trans (as long as it's original equipment) & bolt ons 2nd class fully modded, anything goes, rods, pistons, trans, diff etc etc. Just need to be xr6turbo Russ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too true Russ, I haven't heard of anyone on this forum give us lap times on any particular circuit. Hell my Cyborg would run rings around most of the cars here on a particular track, but I didn't build the xr6t for circuit work, however when it is done, it will certainly go there. I guess we have to weigh up everything. What feels best and which tuner you feel comfortable with is the most important thing. Like I said in another thread, I've been treated extremely well at Etheridge Ford, so will continue going back to them. My workmate didn't like them for one reason or another some years back, so he won't go back. (but may after he's seen what they're doing for me) I've also been treated well by HPF so will continue going there as well for all my mods. Once a particular tuner gets to know your car, you'd always stick with them for that very reason.

Absolutely spot on Yoot, Just because Nizpro charge more surely doesn't mean they give you more. I can tell you HPF won't let your car out of their workshop until they're 100% satisfied that YOU'LL be satisfied. And for the amount of work they've done on half the cars on this forum I think they know what they're talking about. The 2 fastest XR6T's around and we all know it. Theo.

That's great news cqae, I had a similar experience at Etheridge Ford in Ringwood today. The service guy there Alex, phoned me twice today already with updates on my car and will let me know again tomorrow how it's going. I took it there about 3 weeks ago for an issue with the tint and they were great as well, even came out and showed me a few things about the car. I didn't even buy it from them and I feel bad I didn't, cos they look after you like a dealer does. They said to me you spent $45K on a car you should get $45k in service from us, and sure enough they do. They're great guys too. I think this should be the good dealer thread.

Hey Bugster, I have Peddars springs in mine. They said they'd do the springs first and check to see if it may need a camber/caster kit during the wheel alignment. Yup it sure did. They said you're better of getting it fitted at the same time anyway just in case you need an alignment later on. Every BA is slightly different as well. The kit was only about $200 from memory, I do remember it was $50 cheaper than the Herrod kit so I went for it anyway. T

No problems at all towing with a lowered XR6T. I tow my race bikes in a large 3 bike trailer. MY T has the Pedders lows, 580mm ride height, and I use a higher towball. You can get different height towballs from CARAC in Dandenong. They're also a rated ball so fully legal. They've got a few different heights available. Theo.
