Idling Issue And A Valve Spring Question
I have the same problem mate, the revs bounce up and down between 500 and 1200rpm when slowing down and then usually level out once at rest. I originally thought it was the TPS so I had that changed which did help but the car still continues to do it, the only thing left which I can think of is that the valve springs are on their way out...... Ill keep a close eye on this thread Cheers

Help Water Methanol Injection Wanted.
They are a great system and work extremely well, just look at Daves figures! They are great for North Queensland where the temps are hot and fuel is sh*t. They also allow you to stretch a few things a bit further safely. I run one and recommend it highly. There was a big thread on this a little while back with quite a bit of info if you do a search.... Cheers

City Ford - Lack Of Service
What a joke City Ford Rockdale is! I bought my car from there, second hand,with only 9000km on the clock. When it finally arrived in NQ it had no car jack, no tools, no lock nut key, no spair key, and my personal favourite no air cleaner! How exactly does this happen in the first place or pass a roadworthy inspection? When I rang them and asked about it they said they swap stuff from car to car all the time, and there was nothing they could do................. Absolutley useless

Free Nokia N95 On $79 Cap
Yeah mate they can be a costly little phone, im tied to Telstra and they currently dont offer any deals apparently with the N95 apart from just paying it off on a monthly basis, so I had to buy the thing outright........ But I think they are definitely worth it! Great little phone with more features than you can poke a stick at! Cheers

How Cool Is This
Some not bad riding but Banshee's are such an over rated bike. They go, no doubt, but I have seen more broken bones and serious accidents on those bikes then anything else with 2 or 4 wheels. Plus my modded raptor eats them for breakfast!

Factory Supercharged V6 Xr6
The main feature of the T which attracted me to it originally was the ease of modification to the engine. And I cant see ford building a charge V6 which can boast the sort of credentials which the T holds. I mean if the new car does all the right things and still goes well I would definitely look at sticking with the blue oval. However, if we are talking about a car which has a minimal power increase over the T and is harder to modify........ Sorry guys I will be switching to the dark side for a sweet GM V8 note. Cheers

Water/methanol Injection
I believe I paid around $750 for my kit, but I couldnt give you a link as I bought it off Dave directly.

Water/methanol Injection
I also have the Snow Performance Water/Meth kit and I think its a great investment. Im sure Dave (Blueboost) will be along shortly to tell you how good they are..... They are great for NQ because, as already mentioned, they bring the temps down so much and virtually eliminate any chance of ping. The benefit I think is not so much in the power gain (although there is a bit there too), but more so in the peace of mind that the car is running safe. Also the water/meth allows your injectors and fuel pump to be stretched alot further. Its a very neat kit in your engine bay, not overly expensive and as stated methanol can be bought pretty cheaply in 20L drums which will last ages! Cheers

Ingham Car Show.
Dont know if it was that much, I thought it was around 500-550hp but dont quote me on that either! A mate saw it on the rollers at TMS and I believe he said it made ~410 rwkw (although that could have obviously been different in Ingham) Happy to be corrected Cheers

A Very Scary Mix
I agree, its not about age it is about RESPECT Im 21 and have had a power/modding fetish since my early teens, be it on motorbikes, racing quads, cars etc. I grew up on a farm and I was fortunate enough to have a great deal of area to play around on in these vehicle and get a feeling and respect for these machines. I believe the problem arises when you get kids who have lived in the inner city all their life, never driven before, but as soon as they get their license they are able to jump in a 300kw whatever and let loose on the streets. So yes I do agree the high power levels can be a factor in our road tolls, but I believe much more that the biggest factor is respect and feeling comfortable behind the wheel, knowing the cars boundaries and limits etc. Without this, yes, I do agree that young blokes in high powered cars is a scary concept. I think one of the best things a person can do to improve their driving skills is to take their car for a thrashing on the skidpan, this way they get to feel the boundaries of the car and themselves in a safe controlled environment. Just my 2c Cheers Nut

Ingham Car Show.
Ha ha Judd, lets just say that if all goes well it will DEFINITELY be a Dave special. All ill say is keep an eye out for a purple ute on the dyno, and if things fall into place for Dave and Mr X then there will be some BIG numbers!
