What Isp Do You Use?
I use TPG dialup unlimited which is $16.95 p/m.Generally a fast connect with 6kbps d/ls...I am in the bush but and the server is around 60Kms by line. I know they also offer unlimited 256KB broadband for 70 P/M in cities and 100 P/M in the bush...how does that stack up....their Broadband(limited)starts from 20..No I dont sell for them but I am very happy with my dialup at least

Anyone Have Specs On A Vl Turbo?
The standard VL Turbo wasn't intercooled.Its all the hardcore P Platers(Id be one if I could)that have the Big Front mounts and all the rest.I know a guy who was a friend with the guy (Brothers Aunts Mothers Uncles Sister... :-) )that had the White VL in Zoom a couple of mags ago that had 290Kw at the wheels, and that's a 3000Ft! It scared my friend....

Gt Ho Supercharged Rumour

Gt Ho Supercharged Rumour
I got a feeling (Hunch) that FPV's next projext will be an RS Focus (or, god willing Cosworth RS) type deal rather than another BIG car. Then we'll see a Boosted XR6T and the manic Mustang Engined Supercharged GT-HO.The reason I think it will be in this order is that Expensive Daewoo is bringing out a 147KW Turbo Astra...We MUST have supremacy on ALL fronts loyal Ford Men...WE can wait, we (well you) have a 240KW Turbo at the moment. Then the FPV Turbo some forumers designed here somewhere and the Range Topping, King of the Hill.GTS Whopping, M5 Beating, AMG Thumping,370KW 650 Nm GT-HO....

Garrett Gt40 Turbo Is Actually Gt35
I read that ford could only hit 220KW at the low safe boost they wanted with the 35 so they whacked on the 40 and hit a nicer 240KW! I spose we could use 500Horse but then why not buy an XT and do it up if you gonna change the turbo,intercooler,EMS, VCT and all the rest?save yourself 10000 because all that an modded XR-6 like that is going to have in common with a stocko T is the interior! damn that's an expensive interior!

No Gtho...yet
I guess that if ford was to charge a hundred large for the GT and it performed like a R8 then its time to be annoyed but it aint even a Clubsport in price and anyway the standard XY could barely run 14's where as the HO.... XY GT that is....

Very Slow Fuel Gauge
Dont talk to me about Ford fuel gauges...My XF just changes for the hell of it I think! It is never the same....sometimes it takes 200KM to move off full, sometimes at 200KM its empty...My dads old EA S and EB XR-8 both went down to the 1/2 mark slow and just rocket to the empty...we had 500 to 1/2 in the EA and only ended up getting around 700!

12 Sec Xr6t Is Mine

Cheeky Rex Owners
Yeah they claimed that PCOTY was biased to aussie cars...Germans came 1st,2nd,4th and 6th and they bagged the HSV and SV8 something horrible

Green Xr6t
That Kryptonite was the thing on that SSX?Its was cool unlike the Hothouse Green that resembles the vomit that occurs every time I see a bombydore in that colour.Blood Orange is cool too though you can go past a Hemi Orange or Hot Mustard R/T chrager...

How To Fix Your Ba Xr6t Brake Shudder!
Now that is one very serious set of brakes...cross-drilled though.However I think CSV had 380mm discs on their 330Kw Veloce.but either way they're eyeballs through the windscreen deals..

Powerchip For XR6T
I must admit I would've thought that all the stuff from TSI would net more than a 33% increase in power considering Ford were apparently seeing 300KW with "boost spike" testing!309Kw seems possible with more boost and "more aggresive timing"especially if its for optimax.

I Know It's A Car Site...
I hate bikes,I really hate bikes from the first DR90 I laid on top of me when I was 9 to the Ducati 600SS mock-race bike that my brother tried to double and therefore kill me on BUT that does sound kinda cool. But like this guys say,falling off kills and I just wonder how long the human smelling smudge would be if you fell off this? It would make you cocky XR6Ters think twice though not to mention those pesky Tomahawk Missile owners...

How To Calculate Torque And Power?
theres actually two different formulas aren't there one relating to HP and ft/lbs and another one for Kw and Nm's. I remember that HP and Ft/Lbs are the same at 6000 odd revs and Kw/Nms are the same at the 9548Rpm. And I knew it had something to do with a circle.
