MiKa

I was once one of them... How I dont miss those days..

So the aftermarket mesh sits infront of the standard mesh??

Not that I know of XF im the second owner.... Hmm I think it was your post that made me wanna get rid of the stock mesh stuff... How much did it set u back for the top and bottom? I think ill get both top and bottom so I have the painted top if I ever change back.. Cheers Mike..

Nah my top is def different.. yours is black but mine is the same colour as the car.. and mine doesnt seem to be as fitted as yours... I got a pic...car is in the garage so I couldnt quite get a better pic but yeah by the way the car is so dirty hahha

HAHA I think it is the same LOL... maybe it looks different when looking straight on like in your pic. But yeah, I want the mesh.. larger holes preferably..

Hmmm mine is an 03 BA maybe that's y I aint got it ey.... I like your top mesh.. its not as fine... I like the larger holes look.. I imagine it would cost an arm and a leg from Fraud.. Do they come out the factory with the lower mesh too?? Thx again mate, Mike...

James your a legend... I looked on ebay but for the life of me I couldnt find his number LOL... I guess it might be a bit late to call now hahha... Is your top mesh bit from factory? I like it...

Hey Chris yeah I was thinking the same too... I wanna get an XT boot lid and get the badge off that too.. so I have a spoiler less and badge less T, and still have the spoilerd boot lid if I ever want to go back. Jordak the silver looks hot on your car.. it really suits your wheels.. But I wanna see the black also I have pm'd themeshman to see if I can get it done this weekend and to see the different types he has. I know its a bit of late notice but I'll see how I go, with the granny on this weekend my chances arent too good. If anyone has his number please gimme gimme.. Thx Mike..

BTW does anyone have his number? He gave it to me but I've misplaced it.. pm it to me Thx Mike...

Ok so I've decided that I dont like the standard grill on the BA and im wanting to get some top and lower mesh fitted by themeshman. My question is what colour should I get? My car is 'phantom' in colour, what colour would suit it best? I've seen alot of T's with silver but would this suit the phantom colour. Plus I wanna be able to see my cooler even if its just a lil bit ( yes its painted silver) so black mesh would be good for that. Pic's would be good guys Cheers Mike...

You just made urslf alot of friends hahaha....

Too bad james that was one clean T... Hope it all gets fixed up soon... Mike...

LOL... My mate lives in Doveton... All of there cars have been broken into (3), and just recently his old mans van was stolen. All his work gear was stolen (sparky) and the van was trashed.. I never leave the T there for more than a few hours (if I have to)

I have sl fronts and ssl rears. The front is plenty low... Its all level when driving but in park the rear is just a tad higher than front... I reckon ssl fronts is gonna be too low, I scrape enough as it is with sl... Mike...

0-100 in 2.78 sec....... 9 sec 1/4 mile "the Aero's available 1183 bhp was massive and could spin the wheels at 190 in 6th gear!" Damn that's tough...

Will do... just need to figure out which way to go about it.... Yeah we should do it again... more numbers would be good next time round...

Yeah im more of a straight line driver LOL as soon as a few corners come around I quickly slow down especialy when there is a cliff on the other side... Must be your 5 extra years of experience As for custom tuned, you can blame my valve springs for that. Looked like it was gonna rain for much of the day... very luckily it held out.. we wouldnt have been able to do some of those interesting overtaking maneuvers hehehe...

Yeah thanks heaps guys for the mod.... it really is very easy now I've seen it done... The cruise would have been alot better if the traffic was a bit better, altho James we would have lost you through the twisty bits hahaha.. who ever said T's were only quick on straights... I cant get over the flutter hahaha it goes on for ages.. I think ill chuck a pod on soon and see what effect that has on the sound, and maybe a smaller hole etc... Cheers Mike..

Im still in... depending if its a down poor..... I'll still make the drive up

The best game EVER I reckon so far on 360 would have to be Gears of War.... I know its a bit old now but it has to be the best shoot em up out.. Halo is good too but a bit childish... All the car games now are getting a bit repetative... still fun though. When I had Forza I put an R34 engine into an s14, cant remember what kw it had but I think around 500 and that thing had no traction in pretty much any gear... was a b*itch around corners but would eat anything up on the straights...

I was hoping someone would figure that one out for me LOL.... Footscray is too far for me.... Mike...

Dude bad luck considering how many others are still using the same thing, and have been for a long time.... Im sure bunnings will have an answer for all of us.... Something metal would be good.. Well so far there is 3 confirmed.... hahah Mike...

Thx Madmax... that's the vid of the front heat shield.. I think ill need to remove just the rear which I think will be a bit easier.. I backed the car out of the garage the other day and the heat shields were already gettin hot so I think ill have to get there at like 8 in the morning to let it cool down.. LOL.. So 11am on Sunday 16th at Bunnings on Canterbury Road?? I think a few of us are ok with this time and place... Im in, but not to sure about cruising though

Is anyone coming able to give me a hand takin off my heat shields? I've got a boost leak and was told its round the turbo area.... Anyone have any experience with this?? I cant get anytime off work to get it looked at by someone who knows what they're doin ie: tuner etc.... Cheers Mike
