Nice choice there mate... ENJOY!! Jack

So sad... Brings tears to the eyes reading the newspaper this morning... May we all read this, learn and then put that learning in to practice... RIP kids, you are all in a better place now... it is just so sad for those left behind. Jack

Welcome mate... I swapped from a HSV Senator about 4 months ago... not looking back either... 1. Capa Flash (Edit) alone will net you about 250rwkw with a custom tune, the generic tunes not as much... 2. Custom edit shouldn't damage your gearbox but of course this depends on how you drive... you might need a new clutch in a manual... auto T's pound for pound are faster than the manual's... 3. Once again depends on how you drive, I have a manual (T5) T and get about 14L per 100k's to and from work and just around... far better on the highway... in the low to mid 9's per 100k's... Get one you will love it!! I do... Any more Q's? Jack

Looks excellent... love that interior! Good work! Jack

So am I mate... I had a very busy week at work... not sure what I did to deserve it either... I have one the easiest jobs in the world... just not this week... Jack

Love it... That poor kid will be freaking out for weeks... Jack

I don't really know any Ford owners, so my only contact with them is here, and I suppose people only really talk when something goes wrong. So I suppose I should take the comparitive silence from others that they are happy Ford owners too... know what I mean? Didn't think of it that way... Jack

1. EvilDaifu Silhouette BF XR6T 2. Mr Turbo Baby Poo (his words not mine) BA XR6T 3. flukeyluke Blueprint BA XR6T 4. geea Silhouette BA XR6T 5. Fast Ford XR6 Blood Orange BA XR6 CAI 6. stang Phantom BA XR6T 7. Goldbullet Acid Rush BA XR6T 8. XR6T8_U Phantom BA XR6T Nice one all!! It finishes not too far away from where I live too, not like most of the other cruises I have been on... I always seem to end up over an hour from my house!! Jack

That's hilarious... On a recent cruise to Wilson's Prom there was a sign that said 'Low Trees Overhead' and someone had stopped and written under it 'DUCK', got a good laugh out of that one, wish I'd had a camera with me as I thought it was funny... Jack

I believe if detected by the EPA with a 'punched' cat or removed cat it is a $10,000 fine, no if's, or buts... NZ is a different story... I hope ugy you're handing all the boy racers their ass's around NZ!! Where in NZ are you from? Was there in 2003 cruising the Nth island with my kiwi mates, up near Taupo and Tauranga (sp?) and stuff, beautiful country!! Jack

That is awesome going for a mass produced, widely available vehicle... Amazing... these kind of times only a few years ago were only possible with quite a few mods and big dollars spent... When my old HSV Senator was produced in 1994 it came with a stroker 5.7L and was just a tick under 80k brand new, and could only just crack a 14 if all conditions were right... Brilliant! Jack

I originally used the local Ford dealer here in Ferntree Gully, was really happy with their service dept, and service manager, but then they damaged one of my 20" wheels and denied it (not happy about that!!)... after a lot of headache's they ended up repairing it, but I don't get treated the same there now from the service manager... so I am now going to Freeway Ford in Cranbourne, I met Barrie from Fords Down Under here in Melbourne (he left a business card under my windscreen wiper one day when I was at work) and he works there (Business Development Manager) and has gone right out of his way to help me with service and any warranty issue's I have had, and I must say I am VERY happy with them... they and especially Barrie who I have been dealing with directly have been excellent. I'm a happy Ford owner... after reading a lot the posts here lately I seem to be in minority, which is sad... I can't understand why they want to give people the run around with quality issues, it is the easiest way to burn customers, the after sales service needs to be better than the sales as you only buy your car once, but head back for service every few months... Jack

They've been pricks... Can't get the day off... I don't finish work till 7.30pm, and don't get home till after 8pm so not really worth the 1 hour plus travel time to get to Calder for me... Sorry guys... Next time hopefully! Jack

Can't wait for one of these to be handing stock T's (mine included for now) their ass in the hills with a caravan on and all camping gear in the back... Now that would be a sight... I see your Forrestor GT and raise you 1.5L of capacity and 2 gears... Nice Jack

Sounds like I'll be needing a new clutch... F*ck it... Jack

I know you warned me mate... but... Those stacks are just out of control... the last guy, I hope he lived to tell the tale... The F1 stack was funny... just imagine the $ that it would have cost just to get those cars back to race ready... thank god for sponsors... Jack

If I keep reading these Typhoon posts... I'm gonna want one... My 20's on a phoon... MMMMM... At first I wished I bought an auto T... now I wished I bought a phoon... You guys are aganist me aren't you Looks as though my next car will be a phoon... and I was a Expensive Daewoo man through and through before I bought my T... I even have the clothing to prove it... what a waste that was... Damn you!! Damn you all... Jack

Welcome mate!! Enjoy your new car when you get it... Make sure you get Premium sound, I don't have it and wish I'd got it... You can't go wrong with PHANTOM... which is of course the new black... Here's a pic of my car... sorry flukey... another pic of my car on here... atleast it's a new one!! Get any colour and then put huge black wheels on it!! Best of both worlds... Jack

Nice post that isn't a 'test' only kidding... I see it's a manual, so not sure... The auto T's are quicker over the qtr than the manual's... pound for pound... Jack

Just a question for you Goldbullet... how well does that venting you've added in the back work? How hard was it to do? The underbonnet temps of the XRT are crazy... every bit of ventilation can only help can't it? Sorry waaayyy off topic but I needed to ask... Jack

Thanks for that Goldbullet... I'd have to take all of Friday off because my work (TNT Express) is pretty inflexible when it comes to half days off... or leaving work early... you can only imagine our absentee issues because of this... and normally on this short notice I couldn't come because they require 21 days written notice of a day off and then just to be pricks they would knock it back because it's a Friday... but they offered me tues-fri off next week because the roster allows it... work politics suck... it's the best place I've ever worked except for the holidays/days off... I'll let you know tomorrow night as to whether I can come, I'll pay to run just to get inside, hate going and having to park a mile away... I might take up their offer of Tues-Fri off... you have to take it when you can get it at my work... Will let you know mate... Cheers Jack

Excellent times... especially on street tyres... You'll give a few T's (me included) and the Gen3 brigade a fright... nice one!! Congratulations... Jack

I am a real novice at this... what does inner track access get you? Is it good? How much is it to compete? If I'm to come I have to take all of Friday off (work)... Jack

Rob yours is... So do I... That's tuff as... after watching Rob's one I was waiting for the Camaro to hit the guy filming... Jack

I can't bring my old lady with me... she's only been in my car once and she said never again, and I didn't even get out of the back streets near my house... never even broke 50kph... but she felt the car starting to launch in 1st and said 'take me home now, I sure you will be happy with your new car but I WILL NEVER ride in it EVER again...' So I don't think she'll come... Jack
