GreenXR6T

I ran an 11.907 @ 119mph a while ago. (May 2012) Only thing is the car is no longer going. My Uncle wrote it off on the way home from WSID not long after. (Sept) http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80137-finally/

Thanks Pat, Buf and Jim I thought you'd come across this post soon You'll have to make your way out there again. I appreciated your advice all those years ago. It's a buzz having a crack at the strip. I just wish I was a bit kinder on the car and it doesn't take me six months to fix it. I have to pull the diff out. I snapped the centre bolt which must've pushed the tailshaft into the box and broke the yoke. The old saying goes if you don't break something, your not trying hard enough lol. Frank's really got a handle on tuning these things. He's keen to give it an E85 tune but there's nowhere down here that sells it.

TBH I cant remember. There's a heap of different cars up there for just a bit of fun.

Pazzo, I will keep the manual and put it back in later. I'd like a shot with an auto, see if a 10 is on the cards and to see how they drive. It will probably be the GM 4L60 I think they're called. A manual shift 4 speed auto. Dillz, not sure on power but I have had it dynoed between 370 (roller dyno) and 390rwkw (hub dyno) in the past. Now Frank is tuning it, it feels much stronger everywhere and spins 3rd easily, whereas it never has before. Best of all it never stalls anymore. I will get it dynoed soon.

Sounds good to me.

I finally made it to WSID for the first time in a while. I'm absolutely stoked to have run an 11.907 @ 119.95mph with a 1.808 sixty foot time on 17" ET streets (which are 7 years old), using VPower. My car (BA 6M) is currently tuned by Frank (TURBO4LT) and he's perfected the brilliant tune it has now. Frank has been tuning my car in similar circumstances to Headsex, a home tune without a dyno. Just some software, an AFR sensor/meter for which I had a bung welded into the dump pump to fit it to, and a good ear I have 100% faith in his abilities and the professionalism and care he has for the car and tune. It has never, in the last 4 years idled, I've had to blip the throttle (clutch in) everytime as I slowed down so it wouldn't stall, mid range power was average, (would hardly spin in 2nd), yet had up to 393RWKW according to the dyno sheets. It now never stalls, has bags of torque that spins it easily in third and is that drivable that my Mother in her late sixties could comfortably do the shopping in it. I had 4 runs, a 12.1, a 12.2, an 11.9 and finally a DNF. I ended up busting the tailshaft on my last run and needed a tow 100km's home. I didn't care as the 11 sec pass made it all worth while. One happy camper here.

Pretty good. A 4" dump would've been better though. You're on the way to catching the bug and wanting more.

I'll meet you's at Albion Park... if it's still on.

Count me in.

Sounds like your gunna have some fun this weekend... Well done

Go for the Albins gear. Highly recommended and well priced compared to some others too.

Hope it all works for you. Best of luck.

Well done. There's room for improvement too with a 2.0 60 footer. You must be stoked?

One wild ride there

No worries, looking forward to it.

A definite shame the show's cancelled. Seems as though the organizer has cancer and dropped the priority of the show on his to do list I guess. The drive up to Sydney to get the lens was sensational though, thanks to your tune Frank. The car drives the best it ever has and even squealed a couple of times in third which it has never done before. So controllable and so much fun. And you reckon you can refine it some more?

Heya all, I was planning on going to the above event on Sunday and to my dismay found out it's been cancelled. I was looking forward to it and went to Sydney on Wed to buy a wide angle lens for my camera just for this show. (LOVED the drive up there though). I could've got the lens for over $100 cheaper off the net if I had the time to wait for it to come from Hong Kong...spewin. It had a Ford V Expensive Daewoo section too. Click the link below Home

Very nice Mark. You sound happy with it now, wait till some mods are done. Bang for buck these are pretty easy to get some tyre frying HP out of, as you've no doubt read. Things as simple as an injector change and a flash tune transforms these cars. Your starting with a good basis too, with the F6 having stronger rods, a bigger IC and a second air intake.

I use it in mine. Have done for 2 years now. Overall I don't think it's anything special. I checked it on Wednesday and it's milky so I guess it's due for a change. As for pedal feel and fade/boiling I haven't driven my car hard enough to really test it. I thought it would be at least as good if not better than other 5.1 fluids out there, that's why I chose it. I'm not sure if I'll be using it again.

A pictures tells a thousand words. These come from Brians thread from a few years ago about his T56 conversion T5 V T56.bmpT5 vs T56..bmpT5 vs T56.bmp

Best to get a workshop manual on cd. Makes life easier. Maybe someone on here will send you one?

Thanks for the input fella's. Brad says that they seat on the valve spring seal, so out they go...They were another Nizpro cheap ass fix by the look of it.

If you look at the distance the No Stopping sign is from the corner (and Stop sign) you couldn't park there in anything bigger than a Smart car!!! Really, stop signs aren't necessary anyway. What is the purpose of them? Revenue raising? Give way would be safe and acceptable in all but a few cases surely.

I might do that and phone Brad from Atomic. He's a champion to deal with, just like Kevin from Process West.

So you're saying No Standing signs don't exist anymore and have been replaced with No Stopping signs?
