I suggest you take the money and run because that's an absolutely amazing offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alot of people over here in nsw lol 25 minutes ago, -Stever- said: Is it opposite day today? Buy big grippy tyres if you want traction to go with the power, these cars are beasts when tuned which IMO (and 99% of us here I'd wager) makes them more fun! You can also enjoy the challenge of getting the power down just on the threshold of spinning the tyres. The caveat to that is it could change when you have crazy power like 500rwkw+ though. I imagine would get frustrating at times, hell as much has been said to me by one of the old WA members who sold his massive power F6 and bought a R33 GTR instead. He enjoyed my car more despite having like half the power because I have traction most of the time. It's been said before that 400rwkw is usually the most you can enjoy on the street and even then you need high end tyres that don't last very long because they are so soft and sticky. that's all im getting it...power is great and im getting more but you just cant utilise it like everyday to and from the shops. that's all im saying and that's where a small car is more enjoyable, just for those duties. You can drive them on the ragered edge and no one is none the wiser really because they are slow lol 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81368-the-whats-piing-you-off-thread/page/1900/#findComment-1614824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 7m 25d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 02/10/16 06:47 AM Share Posted 02/10/16 06:47 AM I'm with you on that. The Barra turbo is like that (a bit, depending on mufflers) when compared to a loud V8 and it is an advantage when trying to have fun without attracting attention. I would like a smaller fun car for inner city driving. I guess it would be nice if the Falcon could transform into a hot hatch once I hit traffic at work. When it's open roads in front though give me the T every time. Or if I'm rolling down the line and pass another performance sedan hahaha. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81368-the-whats-piing-you-off-thread/page/1900/#findComment-1614829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd totally go for an all wheel drive hot hatch with heaps of power though....if only they made one of those!

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 10y 3m 13d Posted 02/10/16 09:27 AM Share Posted 02/10/16 09:27 AM There definitely is a tipping point power wise. Everyone wants 350 -400 -450 rwkw's, chasing the dragon comes to mind me thinks. Addiction to kw's and not drivabilty. 275 tyres minimum on tge rears. Then ya probably still shred the crap out of $400 plus tread.

I can just tell I'm up for $500-1000. the rack is only a year old so I doubt its that. It's going on the hoist on friday and my mind is to just leave my wallet in the car and let the mechanic sort everything out.

Degrease it all, top your fluid up and start it up with the bonnet open. Give it a few minutes then have a look and see if it's obvious. If nothing is pissing out then take a lap around the block, come home and find where the leak is. It may be a simple fix that you can solve in your driveway/shed. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81368-the-whats-piing-you-off-thread/page/1900/#findComment-1615135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
