    Cal's FG XR6T

    Quick update: Diff bushes in, can feel the differnce straight away. Very happy with them. Mechanic replaced the thermostat. Its all good now which im pretty happy about because thats probably the easiest thing to replace when it comes to cooling. Finally put my lower rear springs in the rear...

    My mechanic sent me this photo. Here's whats left of my diff bushes. They well and truely needed changing. (They've been cut to get out, but there was a massive split in one, multiple cracks) Hopefully will be able to pick up tonight. Tyres should be here next week.

    Cal's FG XR6T

    So for anyone who has any interest (unlikely) I had to get my car towed home last night. It overheated, got really hot quickly. Didn't want to risk limping it home. There's no leaking coolant so I'm suspecting maybe a sticky thermostat. I was planning on getting new diff bushes done this week...

    Cal's FG XR6T

    Not much to update at the moment as im going on holiday in a month so all my spare $ is going to that. The wheels are wrapped in Dunlop Sports and they are terrible. Spin easily all through 3rd. Cant launch at all without going sideways.. Can anyone recommend some sticky tyres that arent going...

    Been a while since an update, mostly because it hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Long story short I bought new wheels. Put them on and drove a few km before realizing something was very wrong Front wheel was wobbling like crazy. I potato'd and eventually figured out the hub rings were still on the hub...

    Bought new wheels today, will put them on and the rear springs during the week. Cant wait to see what its going to look like :) Finally took my car down the GOR with a few mates on Saturday. Had so much fun on the twistys, although the bikes left us for dead.

    Little update: Got my springs finally, haven't put them in yet maybe this coming weekend. Also removed the rear muffler and put in a bit of straight pipe. Its a fair bit louder, but im not sure if im 100% sold on it yet, its a bit droney.. (already have a full 4" dump to 3.5" exhaust.) BTW...

    Little update. It didn't take me long to reconsider removing the lower grille. I love the look now. Also plasti dipped the Ford badge. Full debadged the rear and side XR6 badges. Obviously keeping the turbo badge. Might remove one day but at the moment I like it. Still waiting for...

    Yeah that's what I thought, driving lowered cars since I've had my p's I'm used to parking and taking speed humps sideways etc. I've been 'umming and arring' so to speak about cutting the lower grill. Not sure because once you do there is no going back. That's really interesting about...

    The front is lowered, I like how it sits. SSSL sound really low but aren't really as far as I've seen. Especially with 19's

    Update: Bought SSSL springs for the rear, they should be here by next week :)

    Not much to update at the moment, its all in my name and I got black plates. Going to change the oil this weekend. Next mods are probably lower rear springs and 5000k head/fog lights. Just the little things.

    So just playing around with my mates G-Tech metre tonight. Trying out a some 0-100 times. Still trying to figure out how to launch it best and not lose to much traction in 1st/2nd. Best I got was 5.1 seconds on cold tyres/crappy road in auto. What do you guys launch in when you take off...

    Good enough recommendations for me, thanks guys. Getting a rwc done next friday/signed into my name. Then bring on the mods :)

    Cal's FG XR6T

    Thanks mate! Is that what you have in yours? I got a quote for $900 to get them done with any bush.. Does that seem reasonable?

    Cal's FG XR6T

    Also have either of you FG owners replaced your diff bushes? Mine need doing and not sure wether go to with superpro comfort or performance? Cheers

    The wheels are growing on me, definitely still want new ones but if I spray them black they will be alright for the time being. Giuliano Automotive tuned it.

    Thank you Apple!

    My first experience with the new iPhone wasn't great. I had always had andoids in the past, but I went through 3 Samsung Galaxy S5's in 3 weeks all due to manufactures problems. 2 of them just wouldn't turn on at all. So that kind of deterred me off them. i decided to get the iPhone 6. I got...

    My 2001 VX S Pack

    Been a little while since an update... To be honest not much has changed, I lost motivation in it for ages. My friend reversed into the side of me and damaged both my doors. So I got two new doors, have put the back one on, yet to do the front. Needs a cut and polish and it will match up...
