Charliewool Member 375 Member For: 22y 5m 26d Location: Melbourne Posted 19/05/03 11:30 AM Share Posted 19/05/03 11:30 AM Ford are saying they will NOT sell FPV parts unless you can supply them with a VIN & build No.( meaning a GT or Pursuit vin & build) They are emphatic that no fpv parts are going to be sold to "enhance" either the XR6 or XR8! .. This is FACT Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1589-gtp-fpv-pedals/page/3/#findComment-23525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same policy Ford had for the T series cars. l had to order a replacement side skirt sticker for our TS50 and had to supply our VIN before Ford would release it to the dealer.Of course, once Ford got caught with a lot of leftover bits the rules went out the window. Hence cars like the XR8 rebel with the TS wheels, and a LE XR6 with TE wheels.

David Flint is ADAMANT about keeping the GT series on a higher pedastil... I suppose only time will tell?I'm ordering a new bottom rear bar ( the one that removes to access the spare wheel).. & be interesting to see Fords requirements on "ID"?

I'll just use his VIN to get me some parts.Actually.... I could always mark the price up a little if anyone's interested in purchasing some spare parts :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1589-gtp-fpv-pedals/page/3/#findComment-24089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R/H front caliper is priced at $1400 list, L/H front caliper is $440 list! R/H is available, L/H is on sales stop! I have purchased some AP Racing calipers for the front, still debating what to do......By the time I put ap racing all round the car, I could probably buy a new XT! :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1589-gtp-fpv-pedals/page/3/#findComment-35268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
