The NUT

Well I have been over the car pretty extensively now and there is nothing else I can see to be missing. But im no mechanic! So hopefully when it goes in for its first service there arent any hidden nasties. But as I said the car has been running sweet, its just the missing things that has p!$$ed me off. At the moment the dealership has not said they will replace anything (despite my best efforts), but ringing Ford service line sounds like a great idea which I hadnt thought of. Im happy to put the name up, I just wasnt sure if that was allowed or not, or if id be stepping on some toes. Cheers for the feedback anyways guys Nut

Yeah the car is nearly new! I bought it from quite a well established FORD dealership in Sydney. And yeah I would love to know where the hell these things have gone? I did the give the dealership a ring back this morning to give a small piece of my mind and the response I got was - yeah we had it in the yard for about 3 weeks and its not uncommon for the guys in the shop to pinch a couple of things out of them. I am flabergasted.....? What happened to customer service, especially when you have just bought a $37,000 car!

Hey guys this story may be a little lengthy sorry I live in Nth Qld and I recently purchased my XR6T from a dealer in Sydney (wont mention names, unless you guys ask) the reason for getting the car from Sydney is it was the exact car I was after, and I couldnt find much in QLD. Anyway I took delivery of the car approximately 4 weeks ago. The car had 9,135 km on the clock so its pretty damn new, its an 05 Ba MkII etc etc. And before I tell the story I know what you are going to say, and YES I know its just as much my fault because I should have checked myself, I know ok! Anyways, on with the story....... While driving to uni yesterday I encountered a flat tyre, pulled over in the college car park and didnt think too much of it. When I went to the boot to retrieve the jack, tyre lever etc. I realise that there is nothing in there! nothing at all. No one around I know, so I ring RACQ (road side assistance), however while waiting for them I realise that all my mags have a specific lock nut, which also didnt come with the car! So RACQ arrives and surprise, surprise they cant do anything either with out the lock key. So I locked my car up for the night, and rang my local dealer this morning and am currently waiting to have my car TOWED! Over a flat tyre! Just so the local dealer can get it off for me! Now as part of having my rego changed over from NSW to QLD I needed a roadworthy certificate done. Now correct me if im wrong (honestly im not sure) but I thought they had to check that as part of a roadworthy examination. I had 2 roadworthy certificates done here in Townsville, and surely they had one done in Sydney to sell me the car to me in the first place. So 3 roadworthy's have missed it. So sorry guys for writing this long story; but the moral of all this is not to whinge; its just to say beware when buying cars from dealers you dont know! As far as the car goes, it runs like clock work! Couldnt be happier! I love my car soooo much! But it arrived to me with no jack, no tyre leaver, no log books, no service books, no airfilter in the box, and no spare key! (I have since had the log books sent up) So anyways, be warned guys! My poor T didnt deserve this punishment! Cheers Nut

Hey guys, Just wondering if any of the guys on the forum are from Townsville? And if so where did you get your mods, edit, tune etc done? I have been speaking to Peter at TMS and the guy really sounds like he knows what he's on about, just wanted to make sure im not missing any other tuners around here that maybe specialise with the T...? So damn jealous of you guys down south with all the specialists and experts at your door steps! Cheers

We used to run unifilters on our motorbikes and quads, but even then they were never as good as a K&N. Dunno how they are on the T.......?

My bad guys, sorry for the confusion

Cheers, thanks for the replies guys. Just wondering, does the edit software also remove the cars top speed limiting? Curious

Hey guys, Well judging from the replies on my last post I think I have realised that an edit is DEFINITELY the way to start, so ill be going with one of those little numbers very soon! I know this has probably been asked a thousand times before, but I was just wondering what rwkw and 1/4 times guys are/were pulling with mods like - edit, custom tune, zorst mods, cai etc. nothing too serious........? Cheers NUT

Well im from North Queensland is that possibly why it is not available here yet? What exactly is the software he is referring to?

Cheers for that guys, I have been talking to my local performance specialist and he was telling me something about some new edit software which is apparently due to come out in the next month or so for the T's, and it is supposed to make more power than the current stuff available. I honestly have no idea what its called but he said its similar to the software they use on the LS1's? Anyone have any ideas what this is? Scuse my ignorance

Hey guys, I recently receievd the keys to my BA Mk II turbo with the 6 speed box and it has made me one of the happiest motorists on the road! I have admired the T for some time now, but I never thought I would love it this much. Anyways, as my first point of call I thought I would replace the exhaust on it, it just seems like a good starting point to make way for other mods; and am currently looking at the 3" difillipo system and was wondering if anyone already had one of these systems or have heard any reports on them? Cheers
