Thanks everyone for your contributions. My thoughts are. I like the idea of a cooler mounted behind the sill I don't really like the alternatives of trying to fit near the inter cooler or behind the foglight and the area behind the sill seems quite large and might fit a cooler nicely. The finned radiator type coolers should be good with airflow through them, but might not get enough air flow through them sitting in traffic on a hot summers day. They also are fairly thin metal and might get damaged from a rock or debris on the road getting flicked up. I saw a cooler of some type at the wreckers yesterday that looked like it might be good. It seemed to be just a long pipe bent into 3 "U" shapes with exta little lumps attatched to the pipe (presumably to increase surface area for heat to get into the air. It looked like it might fit nicely behind the sill (I would have to measure to be sure) and should not have any air flow issues while standing still. It also looked pretty tough and I think was larger than the 3/8ths that a lot of coolers are. I would like to look into the heat dissipation of that cooler but it might be good. I don't really want the whole furious kit as I want to do something different and dont want to spend $90 on 2 little fittings. I might either get a fitting made up like the original pipe has, or cut the pipe and put an adapter into the pipe, or find an adapter for the other end of the pipe ( where it clips onto the factory cooler).

I am wondering what type of connection is used in the side of the zf gearbox for the original cooler lines. Does anyone know if this is a standard type of fitting or proprietary?

I just had a quick look under my car, and it looks like there is one hole through the chassis rail, but not a second one. Does CMS drill a hole through the chassis rail?

Mine is stock as a rock.

Have you considered fitting it yourself? That is going to be best for your budget! You could also look at finding the best deal for getting it delivered to you and get a local garage to fit it.

If brake is applied to a single spinning wheel, that will transfer power to the other wheel (via the diff), sort of emulating a limited slip diff. Not saying it will negate the need for a real LSD, (and the idea of getting one has already crossed my mind), but not having an LSD might not be as bad as you would first think

A sort of relevant question.... How does the traction control in a G6ET operate? Does it just cut power from the engine, or are brakes applied to a spinning wheel too?

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I will get some pics up at some point. For now: Its "ego" with black interior. GeCe6, I think you might be right. I just came back from a drive now (11:30pm) I am pretty sure that after seeing mine, my dad will have one soon too. I have been suggesting one to replace his V8 Calais for a little while. I did not think I would end up owning one. A good mate of mine is mighty impressed as well. Would not be surprised if he gets one down the track.

Hi Everyone, Despite only joining the forum recently and my username having "XR6T" in it, I have just purchased a 2009 G6ET! I was looking for a BF1 or BF2 xr6t, but the ones I saw were either pretty bad or did not get approved by my wife. She wanted something "nice", so we went and looked at a G6ET just to see if it would fit the bill. We both loved it and ended up buying it.
