Could this be a warranty issue if I take it back to ford? Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Its just strange that it's so many quick thuds I would have thought If it was bushes or something it would be just one thud Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

How's that fixed Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

On the weekend I ripped bit of skid just on some dirt and there was a quick thudding sound that was felt though the car. thudds were only about half second apart. seemed like somewhere in drive line. Sometimes does it if I take off quick or when I hit 2nd gear bit hard n starts wheel...

I started reading you're thread but there is about 100000 posts. When I'm less drunk will check it out more Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Do they make Guage pods for the fg? my mate had a ba xr6t and he got a neat looking Guage pod that fit on the ba dash just wondering if they make something similar for the fg. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

What happens if ever have to sell the car. will it get through the pits if you change the cooler back to standed? or is it really noticeable parts that need cutting? think I will just got with the stepped cooler. seems simpler haha. Still have my ss aswell didnt trade it in. gota think about...

When you say you have to chop the front up. Is there any metal or structural parts that need chopping up or just the bumper? Insurance must not be to much of an issue because every 2nd fg driving around had a massive intercooler and I don't believe they would be all uninsured? Sent from my...

Insurance companies are ####ed. That's why my dad left the spray painting/panel beating trade because he couldnt take any pride in his work anymore because insurance wanted everything done fast and cheap. He wouldnt put his name to anything that was just bodged up so he pretty much had no job in...

Are the stepped coolers alright? I think I heard the small fg turbo runs out of puff at about 320-330kws so I want about that. Don't really wanna go replacing the turbo or modding it. Although in saying that if it ever breaks I would probably consider upgrading the turbo. Sent from my...

ah cool. how much was you're plazmaman? Are bigger intercoolers hard to fit in? just having a quick look, looks like there isn't much room. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

hey airstrike is that coolerworx set up easy to install? Do you have to modify anything to make it fit? Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

How much is the alloy set up worth? Will look heaps better then the plastic. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Its still got a year of new car warranty so I have to look into what I can do with out voiding the warranty. First mods are going to be bigger intercooler, cat, injectors tune which from what I read should put me over 300rwkw. Also read that I have to change the stock piping because it cracks...

yeah well it could be quicker we haven't raced but the xr6 just feels quicker for some reason. He was jealous because he took mine for a drive and mine felt quicker even though his spent 1000s on his. his might be quicker over the quarter mile or something but it wouldn't be much in it I don't...

his had 294kw might be a small cam I dono? But the xr6 is quicker. I didn't believe all the stories either untill I drove one. I love my V8s but dam the turbo is awesome. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

ah can someone move my thread to the my ride section? I didn't no there was a miscellaneous section. future plans are bigger intercooler, injectors, cat n tune should see me at over 300rwkw. But bit broke for now after buying the car haha. but it's so fun even in stock form. makes my ss feel...

well I decided to move on from the V8 and get a 6 turbo. Ended up buying a 2011 fg xr6 turbo 6sp manual. leather seats, premium sound and all the other good stuff. Very quick car. faster then my mates ve ss which is cammed. Love driving it so much fun:) Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

my quote was only 900 bucks with ai. all the others were over 1500 apart from just cars. some wouldn't even insure me because im under 30 Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

With an increased excess to 1g I got quoted about $1000 per year. That's for an unmodified 2011 fg xr6t with luxuary pack n premium sound and stuff which I thought was good for a 25 year old, but I should check how much it goes up if I start modding. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

done a bit of reading and looks like justcar is the go for modded cars. anyone had any bad experiences with them Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

I heard justcar insurance is pretty good? its only a little more then ai but pretty sure I can mod the car with justcar where as I dont no with ai Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Hey guys just purchased a new car and have been looking for insurance. ai insurance is one of the cheapest. the things I have read seem good just wondering if anyone has had experience with them. dont think I have heard of them before Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

ah I was thinking of another type of bush when I read the title Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

well I heard a supercharged ve yesterday n sounded awesome. how much would a supercharge kit for a vz or maybe ve ss be worth. I like the vz better then ve. would a 300rwkw supercharged vz be less reliable then the ford. I wouldn't think so since bigger engine to start with but could be wrong...

Considering a lot of people choose the xr6 t over ss on Commodore forum must mean the ford is pretty dam good Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

Haha wasn't expecting over 100 posts in a few days many of which are nothing about what I asked. Good read though haha. Yeah after all that still undecided I will just have to drive a few and see what I like best and one day a car will pop up for sale that I love. I'm in no rush so will just...

I put some castrol edge 10w60 in it n it stopped making noise. Still a bit noisy on cold start up but not to bad. Don't no whether the good oil is just masking the problem or what. Car still runs really good. But yeah I think time for a xr6 by the sounds of it:) would love a supercharged v8...

Ah good to no Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

I love the look of the fg and think I like the interior more then the Commodore. Another thing is I'm only after a manual. I no the fg auto is meant to be awesome but I just like driving manual more. How are the manual boxes compared to the Commodore. Prob don't want to spend more then 30g. But...

300kw from what I heard is a good reliable amount of power for a street driven car. I won't be racing it, I'd prob like to but Canberra is to **** to have a drag strip haha. Is a 300kw fg more reliable then a 300kw ss? I guessing they will be about the same because once you increase power I...

Hey guys currently have a vx ss with 220000 on the clock so think its to old to start modding so want to upgrade. I want about 300rwkw maybe more. I can prob buy a vz or even ve and super charge it or get a fg xr6 turbo n spend only few grand on it and have over 300rwkw. I have driven a fg xr6...

Hey guys think i have decided to sell my vx ss and buy a car with cam already installed. seen a few forsale that i like. Only thing im worried about is that most of these cars are interstate so will have to get in rego'd in canberra and will have to be inspected and everything. will it fail with...

prob 4 nights a week. few on thurs after work, sometimes 20+ fri n sat nights n sometimes back up with a sunday avo session if I feel up to it haha Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

I like the look of the head and cam package or just the cam package on that site. around about how many rwkw is 390kw? is it worth getting a cam n heads done on my car with 220000kms? or get a low km car and save up more to get the same work done on that. i like the car i got now and would...

put some castrol edge 10w60 in and hasn't done it since Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

would it be cheaper to mod a 6ltr vz to get around 300rwkw then my 5.7litre? if so by much? my mate has a xr6 turbo with well over 300rwkw and hasn't spent that much on it, but id rather a v8 with bit less kws then his but dont want to spend 10g to get it there when I could get a xr6 n pay half...

it had full service history when I bought it bit under 3 years ago and since then I have serviced it myself regually. if its going to cost the same in the long run to do up my vx id rather a newer car Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

im prob more concerned about all the other things that can go wrong with high ks. dont no whether it would be cheaper to sell it and buy a low k car and do it up or spend the money on the vx n risk everything breaking because its older n cost me more money in long run Sent from my GT-I9000...

hey guys I currently have a vx ss 6sp and its got about 220000km on it. car is stock apart from cat back. it is pretty much a weekender because I have a work van during the week. I want a car with about 300rwkw. I dont no whether to sell the vx because of the high ks and buy a vz ss or something...
