Red Baron New Member 6 Member For: 13y 16d Posted 13/10/11 12:05 PM Share Posted 13/10/11 12:05 PM Back in February I threw down the cash for my first turbo car, a 50th anniversary FG G6ET from Macarthur Ford at Campbelltown. I smiled the first time I squeezed that pedal down and every time after that. The forums here have been an invaluable source of information both before I bought the car and after. Lurking in the shadows I have read countless posts on the best combinations of parts and the best tuners trying to work out the best combination of mods with the best value. But I can't sit in the shadows any longer. I just picked up the car this evening from the tuner and cannot find printable words that describe how happy I am with the car. My wife drives this car on a regular basis so I was very concerned about driveablity and because it is a new car I wanted to maintain a stock appearance. Chris from Rapid performance gave me an excellent price on a FG stage II kit (4" Dump,5" Cat,Injectors, V.1 Intercooler and pipe kit) then Joe from Crescent Motorsport fitted the gear and tuned it. The car idles beautifully no one would suspect the Jekyll and Hyde personality of the car, squeese the pedal and the car hunkers down then shoves you into the seat as the speedo whips around the dial. Stab the pedal to the floor and it lights the after burner drawing lines all over the road. I reckon these G6ET's would have to be the ultimate sleeper and I have a grin from ear to ear after driving mine.Red Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V1 intercooler kit is a great starting point, as it is easy added on to for more power later on, as is the 4inch dump & cat combo with stock exhaust... ready for a matching cat back if and when you want more kws.And a smart move choosing the 80lb injectors rather than the 60s... now you have the scope to get a E85 tune later on and not have to buy another set of injectors Enjoy!

Red Baron New Member 6 Member For: 13y 16d Posted 14/10/11 09:01 AM Author Share Posted 14/10/11 09:01 AM Thanks Chris, as soon as E85 becomes readily available out Macarthur way I will be heading back for the next round of mods, 3.5" cat back system and a fuel system upgrade. Got to say I was extremely surprised how smooth and torquey the power delivery is . I was not sure about the 80lb injectors but Joe assured me he could set them up to idle as well as stock and he has definitely delivered. Think I will go check the fridge I'm sure I need to go for a drive to get so milk..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
