i know its not a toyota... if you dont want to read it, just click the "X" button up the top... i dont wanna hear your sh!t if you have nothing nice to say... ;)

well, after going through 5 cars, i thought it was about time i released my inner bogan...

i work and live in the Ipswich Council area, so it was just natural for me to go down the bogan route... :lol:

its a brand new 2010 Ford Falcon XR6T in Nitro...

it has a custom leather interior which is black with blue stitching and "XR6 TURBO" embossed into the headrests...

my previous car to this one was a TRD Aurion... whilst the aurion was great, it was severly lacking in a few areas...

one of my major problems with it was that any mod that i wanted to do, had to be custom made... and we all know that custom = $$$$$$$..

on top of that, to squeeze any more power out of the trd, was close to impossible without spending a sh!tload of coin...

not much in the way of mods yet...

but here is the car and what i plan to do to it over the coming years... the end aim is to have about 350+rwkw, good suspension setup and a good stereo...

FUTURE MODS LIST:

STEREO

Single CD to 6 in-dash stacker & colour TFT screen upgrade

DVD playing through front TFT screen

Camera on Factory Screen (V2)

Sat Nav Integration for FG

Front Speakers (Unknown)

4ch Amplifier (Unknown)

Subwoofer (Unknown)

Wiring Kit (Unknown)

INTAKE

Whiteline 22mm Rear Sway Bar

Lovells Springs (25mm-35mm lower)

but right now its between SHOWWHEELS STREETER & CUZCO BLACK POLISHED PINSTRIPE

ECU/FUEL SYSTEM

Mate that's a very tidy ride you have there, cant wait to see it when you have finished with your mods.

If you still looking for speakers i can recommend Alpine Type X, i had them in my Calais, they sound great, plus you can set speaker location distance and all sorts of cool stuff.

Yes! Mate that is hot. Actually if you removed the turbo badges it would be one hell of a sleeper :)

I wouldn't tint those tail lights, I think they match the car perfectly as they are.

nice ride dude. you got some pics of the interior? I drove a xr6 (non turbo) hire car in the same colour :D but one small thing that bugged me was the inside door handles, is the door lock meant to be flush with the handle when locked? it wasn't in mine, looked like it was semi unlocked.

The Cuzco is a better looking wheel out of the two options you listed. Just keep in mind you need to go with a wheel with strength if you are chasing high horsepower, tearing the hub from the spokes isn't a good look.

Are those photos taken under the Riverside Expressway?

I'll assume you know what mods are required as I don't look at the Falcons/Commos; but make sure you take it to the track!

Its Auto Isnt it? Doesnt really matter the ZF's are a pretty good AUTO but still manuals are more fun. Anyway, dont mind the colour. looks neat under those orange lights. One thing with the T's is that I have been told that in one of the Mufflers one side is blocked/restricted or some ****. Zorst would be high on my power chasing preformance upgrades list. Other than that they arnt a bad car. Be interesting to hear your remarks on Build Quality compared to the Toyota/TRD's? Keep us posted.

Looks the goods Ash.

I've owned Holdens and an HSV before as well as Toyotas and never really paid much attention to Ford, but I really like the current FG XR6T look, and I've heard they really go. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Cheers

I'm not a fan of Fords but that sure looks like a nice car. Every time I look at it though, I keep thinking of cop cars :lol:. Anyways, happy driving Ash.

thanks mate.

i'll prolly end up going with Focal's because i've had them before i loved them... :)

i think you're right... after having a good look at the car over the weekend, tinted tail lights would like kinda outta place..

turbo badges will remain until i've got like 5000000rwkw... :lol:

i'll take some pics of the interior now that the leather has been put in... i LOVE the leather job... its really really classy and yet a little 'sporty' at the same time... :D

hmmmm, do you really think that <400rwkw would be able to rip the wheels apart!? :huh:

i could understand with mega power, but for under 400rwkw i would have thought itd be okay...

yeah, those photo's are from under the riverside expressway...

ray took some good shots at kangaroo point, so i'm sure he'll post them up once he gets a chance... :)

i was going to go with the CES exhaust, but at the end of the day, i'm a tightar$e... :lol:

went with xforce cause it does the job and its half the price... HAHA

the std exhaust on these cars are good for like 300+rwkw... so the xforce should be fine... :)

Sorry about the camera

the ZF is a great box... i'd rate it a lot higher than manual for the type of driving i do... :)

not sure where you got that info about the exhaust mate, but from all my research, the std exhaust (using a high flow cat) is good for 300+rwkw...

so far the build quality is on par (if not better) than the trd... but only time will tell if it stays like that... :)

Love it Ash... ive driven a 400HP XR6T and let me tell you it was a really nice drive until it snapped onto boost haha! i hope you make it go crazy!

thanks mate, i wont be going TOOOO crazy on it... well, too crazy for an xr6t anyway...

std, i think they're pretty nuts as it is... haha

yeah, we gotta catch up...

i've always been a ford man... but the new VE range from holden is pretty damn good!

they were almost good enough to pull me away from the ford...

i almost didnt even bother looking at the ford until rowan talked me in to it... SOOOoooooo happy that i did! :lol:

I'm not a fan of Fords but that sure looks like a nice car. Every time I look at it though, I keep thinking of cop cars :lol:. Anyways, happy driving Ash.

yeah, its actually quite funny... if you go flying up behind someone, you see them slow down... i'm thinking of getting a sticker made up and put on my front windscreen that says "I'm not a cop"... :lol:

Congrats on the new car,I agree with SD that Cuzco rims are far better suited...

Could you humour me? a pic with your Buddy clubs on if you still have them :D

you want a pic of the ford with the buddy clubs on it?

cant do that cause i dont have the buddy clubs anymore... they went with the trd...

if you want to see a pic of them on the trd, then check out the trd members ride page on here... ;) :)

c*nt do a skid

what... another one?

but i just did one! :P hahaha

scared the SH!T outta my brother-in-law on sunday...

came into a round about too fast (didnt see it coming LOL), so just got on the gas and let the ***** hang out...

worked quite nicely i thought... :lol:

Nice car.

i'm liking the FG XR fronts, the XR8 a little more due to the 'bulge'...

That would look good dropped and levelled with the same wheels IMO...don't change too much...

A set of eyelids would make it look even more angry

one word... NOICE!

this is my second favourite family car (first is the FG F6 typhoon). atm cant afford insurance/fuel and others so my current car will do haha :P

i've driven the BF XR6T and XR8 manual when my uncle used to work for ford city... and man such a beast :P

and yes what u said replying to what DJKOR said, my uncle enjoyed driving up peoples a$$ on the freeway and they either just move outta the way or slow down 20 km/h under the speed limit （esp at night) :P

AHHH What a piece of sh*t...nah just kidding tongue.gif I used to hate all "Falcons" due to their crappy build quality and pretty much boring styling. But i must say i really like the new ones, they actually have some good styling and look pretty agressive. The only thing im not a huge fan of is the wheels, they look more like they belong on the the Mondeo, but as you said you plan on changing them anyways. Overall dude pretty good car to get your hands on, just a shame from our point of view to see the Aurion go. sad.gif

Seeing this in person really makes the difference - mate you interior is absolute PORN. You've thoroughly convinced me to get some (better) cow hide imported into my interior, compared to the factory fare which I am sad to say could hardly be considered dead animal skin

thanks trent... i've always been a ford man... but i understand where you're coming from... for years, ford has been very "uninspiring"...

but my love for them was rekindled from the BA upwards...

but then again, i never bought one because of the poor build quality as you mentioned... :)

steven: yeah mate, this leather is beyond any "factory" leather i've seen...

most factory leathers are stretched to an inch of their life... so they dont feel as nice and they wear really quickly... :(

these guys have HEAPS of different colours to choose from and you can basically have free reign over the designs...

i *think* that the stuff i got done was worth about $2500, but thats just a guess cause i didnt actually pay for it myself...

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
