BFXR6T

I found out that my lights will always be on. It is a kit that is installed on all Telstra fleet cars, kind of like a motorbike, as a safety thing....

Yeah I have done a similar run like that before in my Integra. Wakefield is on the list for the next month or so for sure!

To be honest, this is a term I have not heard of before, nor is it in the manual. The only lighting option I know about is the Lights On feature, but I think this is only for the interior lights.

Went for a spirited drive last night as it was cold - about 3-4 degrees. Absolutely addictive!!! White was my first and only choice. I have had blue, silver, black and a white car before, and I am not a fan of the current blue/yellow/green/purple options. My white car was by far the best to keep clean, and it hid all scratches. There are no plans to modify the car as it is a fleet car, but if I option to buy it at the end of the 2 years there will be some mods then. One question for you BF owners, I can't turn my headlights off when the car is started. I have turned the headlight knob to off, but they stay on. It is like the off setting is hooked up to the Auto setting. Any idea's on how to turn them off? Pictures will come over the weekend! Cheers guys.

Unfortunately I need to be at work today, or I would have taken the entire day off. Atleast Monday is a public holiday here in Canberra so I will make a day trip to the coast and run her in up and down the Clyde/Brown.

Hey Guys After 3 long months waiting, I picked up my new white BF XR6T Auto today. It looks so clean and the body lines look great on white. I opted for the Blue interior, along with rear parking sensors, towbar and premium audio. I have only put the foot down a couple of times, but coming from a string of FWD Jap cars, I know it will take me some time to get used to the RWD and the overall size. I will take some pics on the weekend if people are interested. See you on the road! Simon

I cant view video files across the net from work, can someone give me a rundown on what happens? Cheers Simon

1.6mb/s here at work.... sweet!

I got pinned in NSW a couple of years ago where I was overtaking in a 100km/h zone when the limit went to 70km/h. I was done at 113km/h which means loss of 4 points and a loss of licence for 1 month. Not to mention a $512 fine. I ended up taking it to court as I felt the police were too close to a speed change. The judge knew the road and said that they should not have been there. I offered to accept a ticket of 13km/h over the limit, but not the full 43km/h. I was let off and only had to pay the $60 court fee. Also, the cops told me on the day that they were not booking anyone under 95kmh which is a 25km/h window.

Friends just went to Bora Bora for their honeymoon. Probably a little out of your budget of $6k, but they loved it. Also Tahiti would be a great option. Broome too has some great resorts now. Broome Accommodation

Can you add a turbo timer that can be removed easily if needed? I pick my car up soon and it is a fleet car which means I am not allowed to modify it at all, but I know I will be fanging it everywhere and like others in this thread have said, I don't want to wait a couple of minutes in the garage letting it cool down. Cheers

Jet - She does not know about this website as I only get online at work. Thanks Shazzy, but I got her a heap of jewellery for christmas. But I like the idea of a fluffy toy as well. 72 - I took her to Qld and Dreamworld last year for her Bday, and she took me to Sydney to see a show. We both spent a heap of money last year which is why we want to limit spending this year. I agree, great memories make a bday better! I am taking her to dinner tomorrow too, she just needs to tell me where! Darren - the first 2 sites are blocked here at work, and for good reason! The 3rd should be blocked and the 4th, well, I like your design of the website and I hope that your big (small) problem has gone away!! I have been leaning towards getting her an adventure tour at the zoo. On the tour you feed a lion, have a bear lick sugar off your hand and hold a python etc. Canberra Zoo I know she would like this! Thanks guys, your all being helpful!

If a FWD has an LSD, torque steer is minimal and I am assuming that the XR5T has one. My Integra Type R had an LSD and I never actually recall experiencing torque steer in it, even when flogging it around Wakefield a heap of times. I personally don't like the look of the Focus, so the XR5T is not an option for me. Still, its about time something comes on the market to lower prices of the other 2L turbo cars on the market.

Her best friend is getting her this, so they can go together....

I didn't realise that this info is relevant I guess I will give you as much info as possible now She is turning 27 Been going out 2.5 years Don't live together Pink is her favourite colour She is very low maintenance and drinks beer! She rocks! I am looking for something that she wouldn't think of getting herself, clothes and stuff like that she can get herself and usually does. The past few years I have bought her perfume, books, clothes and even a trip to Qld and Dreamworld. This year we decided to stay under $150 for presents as we are going to Fiji in July. Reason I am after present ideas is that no matter how left field they may seem, they may spark an idea of something she may like etc. Hope this is enough info! Cheers

Guys, The girl's bday is Monday, and I am stuck for present ideas. It doesn't help that I am stuck on weekend shift, so I cant even go to the shops. I have monday off work so I can go shopping then, but the last thing I want to do is spend all Monday at the shops looking for a decent present as this will :cussing: me off! Can you guys give me any ideas? Or tell me what you have bought your girl's for their bday's this year? Cheers Simon

I guess that's why when I come to a stop in Sports Sequential manual mode in my BF 6 speed auto that instead of dropping back to 1st gear (like in my previous BA XR6 4 speed auto), it drops back to only 2nd gear. I asked Ford if this was normal behaviour, as my BA dropped back to 1st stopping at the lights, and they said it was. 1st gear in Sports Sequential manual mode definitely does not last long before I have to shift up to 2nd gear. ← Evil, can you take off in 2nd OK or does it drop to 1st as soon as you accelerate?

Ahhh what a shame I am on night shift this weekend, otherwise it would have been good to meet some of you. Next time..... Simon

Thanks guys. I too would have thought 2nd would be higher, but I can understand these low speeds in the manual. EvilDaifu or Bionic, can either of you confirm if the BF XR6T speeds are the same as the manual or closer to the Typhoon speeds? Cheers Simon

Hey Guys I have tried searching but came up trumps, so can anyone advise what are the top speeds for each gear in the ZF 6 speed auto gearbox? Also, are there any online reference sites that have all the techo info on the BF XR6T? Thanks in advance Simon

While surfing the net at work on night shift and while waiting another 2/3 months for delivery of my White XR6T BF Auto. Why 2/3 months wait? It's a Fleet order and takes forever. I ordered start of March and the earliest delivery month is June. Simon

In canberra I have very dark tint on my 84 Honda Accord (18% tint over factory aircon tint). I have pulled up next to many a police car and nothing. The only time where it may become an issue for me is when I transfer the car into someone else's name and it needs to go over the pitts, then it won't pass rego. But seeing I am giving it to my sister when my BF XR6T arrives in 2 months, I will just keep the car in my name. I will no doubt get the same darkness of tint on my white XR6T when it arrives.... should look hot!

Hey Guys My first post.... Is the Transmission cooler on the ZF Auto sufficient or should it be upgraded for track days? What type would be best and where can I source one from? I have not picked up my car yet as I have to wait until June (Fleet car), but because this wait is killing me I may aswell do some research. Cheers Simon
