Leather Or Cloth Trim Fg
No. Bit its got marks and scratches all over it, drivers side bolster has just about warn through (it has peeled a little here). Im just glad I condition it cos id hate to see how crappy it would get if you didn't look after it. Leather in my old VZ SS was way nicer.

Leather Or Cloth Trim Fg
I reckon the FG leather is the sh*ttest leather known to man. Pretty sure its technically pleather. Cant wait to have it all retrimmed with something decent

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Wasn't aware factory turbos were sh*tting themselves at around 100k - exception being when oil isnt changed, screen not cleaned and so on.

Haven't bought lines yet. Just going to email race brakes sydney and get braided lines - pretty sure if I specify the setup they can make lines to suit

New Precision Bolt-On Turbo
Impressive. I think the key thing is ensuring the turbo you make to bolt on to a taxi like our cars is to ensure it will last 100 000ks as most of the time these things get driven further than a 1/4mile at a time. Keeb as to see how these go. We are all spoiled for choice these days with GTX/MTA/B org Warner and Precsion options (and im sure there are others im not familiar with)

Nice. I just went 4 pot Brembos and territory rears. Will fit with braided lines hopefully before torque time. Whilst I half gambled with the XYZ coil overs (so glad I did as very happy with performance vs cost) stuck with what's proven regarding brakes. Be sure to let us know how they go.

Do they look the same as the XYZ's? If they do I would bet they are the same. If not, still would expect them to be similar in terms of performance

Zf Auto - How To Drive For Drag
D is for drag. Having said that, most guys are going fastest short shifting into second and third where turbos are tapering off up top

What Size Injectors Fg Turbo
my tuner was against me for buying just the bosch EV14 1000's as they come, from bosch (still a matched set but without the other goings on ID/KPM/Xspurt do) Changed his story a bit once he tuned them. Car runs just the same as any 'other' 1000cc injector. Not pushing the limits of them though...

Warranty Q's
They are a consumable. A mate of mine works at Bryan Byrt Tingalpa and will fix you up no worries. Let me know if you need his info. You around the regents park area? Pretty sure I went to high school with your brother - I also recognise the username from ls1.com.au You will love that G6ET - especially once you start playing with it

Frosty
Good to see the ford badge winning this round of 'badge' racing, throwing max lols at all the facebook kents saying how good falcon is and ford aus shouldnt stop building them cos they are now fast hahaha. Only parts FG are head lights and tail lights. maybe door handles. Maybe front grill and badge. Only other parts ford is the motor. Still, yanks like to follow brands in Nascar so I guess its not as stupid as I think? Cracking race, was hoping the wildcard xbox car would end up towards the front a bit further
