Guess I better join up as well... Too many bloody turbos on the cruise, need to keep the NA numbers up. If someone can lend me a radio, much appreciated. If someone can call me a couple days before to remind me, even more muchly appreciated!!! Nick 0408002013

Put me down for a probable/possible.... Would love to meet some of you guys. Any chance of a spare CB if I make it? Nick

Derek, I am so sorry. I didn't tell him about our weekend, that we with the and you used that on yourself..... LOL Thanks again, guys. Nick

Let's get a petition going for XR support race!!

I'm up for any of them!!! Bolte Bridge, if we can cover the bridge, and get a good vantage point with a sh1t hot camera!!! How good would that look, southbanl, casino in the b/ground...... Nick

Think I've PM'ed both of you back, so Derek, if he's 2 timing, then what are you , you little *beep*??? How's about whan I get my sh*t together and the parts, we can all three get together sometime. I'm in Oakleigh, but will travel. My toolbox is VERY basic, BTW. Cheers guys, have appreciated both your offers. Nick

So, who's insurance covers it. Split the excess, both cars up to schmick, and less than $230 out of pocket!!! Nice work!!! Nick

Exactly!! that's y u cant go wrong in getting the 3 legged one. Chicks will love it. that's for sure. I dont think the 2 legged one will satifsy the ladies unless shes a lezzo <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as it;s a manual as well, o course!!!!

Where / when is next vic cruise?? Would love to come in my "naturally awesome" XR6.....

From what I have read, the 'phoon is the way to go, as it is a genuine Ford part and designed for XR's... Does that sound right to you?? N

Hey guys and girls, Anyone want to help me?? I'm in Mulgrave (and judging my the amount of T's I see everyday, so are a few of you!!!) I want to chuck a CAI and a new filter in, and am pretty useless!! Would love it if someone could give me a hand (It's a BF NA!! Sorry guys, no turbo!!) installing them. Will pay cash or beer or JD or Chivas or Johnny black label, etc...... (prefer beer, got heaps here......) Any help appreciated. Cheers, Nick

Does it make the front end look nicer?? Excuse my lack of knowledge..... Nick

Thanks, and yes it is (a nice car)!! The CAI will look nicer though from the front though won't it??? LOL Nick

Hey guys..... Will this fit the BF NA version (the 'phoon part)?? Any should get a K&N filter or the like???? Anyone in Melbourne want to help me install?? Cash or beer easily aranged.... Excuse my ignorance..... Cheers, Nick

FYI, have clocked up 2500+KMs, booked in for 3000K service Friday week. Car gets better and better every day. Thinking of adding a CAI, maybe exhaust, but will check with Ford first. Adding slimline window wind shields at service. Thanks again for all info from everyone (except the idea to burn it for a Typhoon..LOL) and am enjoying this forum. Am going to get them to replace oil with 10W-30 oil in service, will provide it myself. Not too sure what that is to be honest, so what brand, etc., do I ask for?? Looking forward to getting my stickers made up (non-turbo) to put where the turbo sticker goes for you T owners... LOL. That will be fun!!! So when you guys pass me, say hi, you'll know it's me!!! Nick

Try save as option, when right clicking or open with option with right click (once you open the temp folder). Can simply rename the file with a .wmv at the end instead of what it is..... See if that works!! Nick

Strapp ford in Kew, Victoria. Joe is a legend. Go there, and you will be happy with the service and the professionalism.... Nick

FYI, I bought the BF NA 3 weeks ago, and am very happy with it.... Just make sure that if you do decide to go this way you go with the 6 speed auto. Would have to make the biggest difference to the driving experience...... Had a MKII XT for a couple days before my car was ready for pickup, and apart from looking like a fleet / company car, it was resonable, but the suspension was too soft, and the interior is crap compared to the XR6 NA. The seats are fantastic, and I do extra work just so I can drive home with the lights on with that lovely blue/red dash!!!! Probably the same for the BF XT and XR6, but the pickup from 70/80KM/h to 150/170KM/h in my BF 4 speed is magnificent!! Just flick it over to performance mode about half a second after you floor it and you'd think it was a turbo. After testing both, the only major diff. is the pickup off the line. The NA is just a little sluggish.... Go a NA, and then buy one of the stickers that are being made soon... or at least help me get them made!!! http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=361131 Enjoy the T when you get it, being S/H, make sure it hasn't been flogged too hard!!! Nick

Shhhhhhhhhh, it's a secret. Was dressed for court that day... I'm just a truck driver.

Heres mine http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20999 Dave <{POST_SNAPBACK}> YEAH BABY!!! I saw that on the original post, but my PS skills are not what SWMBO's are.... Would ask her to do it, but we've got a 7.5 month old, and I already have her doing three brochure designs for my work and a customer...... (don't tell the ATO, please). Is it easy to do?? Looks mad, but still want to get the speedo at 150+ in the photo. Was thinking get a 3+MP camera with lens attachments, and get someone to take the photo from the back seat (now, here is where being the GM of a computer wholesale company comes in handy!!!). Should be pretty safe me thinks......... Nick

Was going to black the tyres, but was told they attract more crap so didn't do it this time..... have already decided to next wash. Nick

LOL NAH, the company opposite the one I work for.... I'm in managent, so have to look cool!!!! Nick

Don't stress, we're the NA crowd... and there must be worse things than looking at Shazzy's arse...... Read the PM I'll forward you. Gave me some ideas..... Nick
