Flash Or Warranty?

[Turbo777]

Hi Guy's,

I have a June 2007 XR6T (strong motor obviously) and I am considering getting the flash tune done and clearly voiding my warranty. I was just wondering if I could get some feedback from some of you guys who know your stuff whether you think its the right choice.

I decided to get mine modded when it had 8000kms on it and now have over 20 000kms and haven't had one problem with it. As long as you are prepared to pay for anything that may break because of you power mods I say go for it. These cars become really fun to drive when you start modding them.

You play, you pay! I edited my BF xr6t 4 months after purchase. I intend to do over 200,000km in it before selling.

I'm having the same dilemma mate. To tune or not to tune.

Once I have the cash, I'll be back on that Nizpro dyno in no time. I'm tipping I'll get an edit and custom tune in the next few months.

Just go for it. You only live once. Just make sure you have some sort of savings you can dip into if something badly screws up.

that's the route I went! I was a little tentative at first to void the warranty. Worth the extra money for the piece of mind!

Any minor problems I had, not even tune related, they fixed up for me with very little fuss!

Can't recommend them enough!

Best thing, apart from the service, was they were always willing to explain what they were doing & how it would change/enhance the car

Im in the same boat, I've got 2 months warrenty left on my car and I believe there are still some minor problems with it. Im just wondering when I take it in for a service if I get them to list all the faults they find and then take it back to ford for them to fix it or not.

MMM on the other hand I really want some more power!

Two months - just get the things fixed by Ford, then get mods done.

Mate.. Flash away!

The more and more I deal with fords so called "warranty".. the more I want to mod.

It's bloddy useless, even on a stock car!

My signature says it all lol.

Well on the thursday before good friday I recieved my CAPA flash tuner with the generic tunes. Went outside, plugged her in, went for a spin. F*&^ ME!!!! What a difference 10psi makes!!!! I was then off to the Grampians camping for 4 days so got to give it some stick up the steep winding hills. I knew the turbos were a good car but now I really appreciate her. She handles so smoothly around the tight corners and by crikey she pulls up a steep a hill like its a flat track!!! And I had 4 people in the car. The turbo sound now is like a jet engine winding up on the runway. It scared the hell out of everyone. All I have is the K&N airfilter and the generic tune and im more than impressed. I can only imagine the feeling some of you guys are getting from your supremely powered turbos. Now my warranty is effectively gone should anything go wrong but its worth it atm (till something breaks :()

Just took mates 6 month old XR8 with $5000 Herrod dual pipes and its a sluggish wombat in comparison. $600 later and he can't touch me.
