FG-New Xr6t Ute

[tab]

That's crap....have never had an issue on my utes. Both tinted, but only ever use the AM button to get to the AUX

[Venom XR6]

Not crap, that the exact reason why. The problem is mostly confined to the city, where reception can drop out around tall buildings. Sedans can do the same to a lesser degree but the ute is more prone to it.

Sorry - didn't mean what you are saying is crap, just their reasoning.

Have never had an issue whatsoever and have covered a few miles. Work in the city, it never drops out even as far as three levels underground to my carpark (where there is actually no mobile service).

However - if it is a real issue a retractable side mounted antenna would have been a much better option. But then that would require a bit of thought I guess and it's easier to just drill a hole in the roof and whack the gay looking thing there!

The retractable ones cause alot of NVH too, plus they are prone to having motor problems - get stuck halfway etc. I'm not a massive fan of the new aerial, but you don't see it when you are driving

Really? You don't see something on the roof while driving? That's surprising

[spooner]

I dont like it either, looks cheap trashy and a bit gay , will the carwash rip it off for me ?

Got a track day at Sandown lined up for a couple of weeks after my ute arrives , just so I can run it in properly.

Hope the brake pads and fluid are up to it , being a auto will feel a bit strange

Should be interesting through , bog stock new, lets see what she'll do eh

Im not into drag / street racing that's not my thing , and boring and pointless for me. Unless you can find somewere to give them their head bigger than 400m and to get some corner / braking action , instead of acting like a Dhead bogun in a 60k zone when its been raining , Is Heaven on a Stick

Got mates in a 08 VE Bogan special ute and 06 Maloo ute coming along so we can have some fun and compare and swap drives to see what happens.

Should be a Fun Day Out for All

Will make sure I get some Video action to post later on .

As long as it feels reasonably stable at speed , I'll be happy, and can Tweak it up a bit for finer control from there . HP means nothing unless you can keep it on the road.

I remember the 1st time I got blown away by a VL Turbo , so its Payback time

I like it how you put another pic of the XB in there, just a little teaser!

[monza1414]
