Newly Turned Ford Lover. Any Things I Should Know?

[iznutz]

that's what everyone says.. not looking for huge power..

if you're not looking for huge power, buy an XR6 N/A and spend the money you saved not buying the turbo on making it fast.

The turbo's are begging for around $5000 to be spent on them to bring them up to the way they should have been from factory. running 12psi boost and going like a dream..

You can drive them stock, but sooner or later, you just wanna go faster! and faster! and faaaaster!

Hey Christiaan what kind of fuel economy are you getting with your mods?

Just want 2 know if you lose alot of economy with the power.

2005 Shcokwave? Wasn't there a serious paint issue for shockwave around this age? I'd be checking it over carefully first.

Other than that, id offer under 20k and put 5 aside for mods as above.

I did actually see that, so I will be going over with fine tooth an comb.

Definitely spend that 3.5k and try and get a 6 speed manual or auto otherwise you will regret it later.

In relation to fuel economy, I get around 350/400km/s per tank, and around 15.9/16.2l/100km's

not great economy, but I didn't buy and modify an xr6 turbo for fuel economy
