... From what his told me it flares up between gears when cruising... and under power slips like a bitch from second onwards. - Parf was suss on the suto before he brought the car anyway, so i don't think this came as a surprise to him.

Shit man

That's tough luck. The 4 speed autos seem to fall apart even when built according to the XR6T forums. Just gotta go easy on 'em I guess.. a lot probably depends on how it's driven.

Yeah the auto was a little weird when i got it, sometimes it hit the limiter when revving out 2nd.
After i got injectors it couldn't cope with the power and started slipping after about 4500rpm in 2nd and was flairing 2nd to 3rd even when going slow. So bluepower played with the auto shifts a bit and now its better but will still slip when flat out but only 2nd to 3rd.

I'm getting it rebuilt and fitting a trans cooler so hopefully it holds together :grin:

convertor as well yeah?

who's building the box?

He can't get grip now!! Once boost kicks in it goes sideways...

Have thought about a stally but not sure.. would be fun and all but would just make it spin up even easier. (dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing lol)

Might be getting a guy i no in sunbury to do it or through bluepower...

by **Parfrey** » June 7th, 2009, 5:52 pm

Got the auto rebuilt the other week, seems alot better

(should be for the price!) also got a trans cooler fitted at the same time.

put some chrome mirrors on too, took the spoiler off but now the boot has gay holes in it.. and i got a chrome Turbo badge for the back. i'll chuck the badge on tommorrow when i get off my P's!

by **Parfrey** » August 17th, 2009, 8:15 pm

small update..
Car is going well (for now) had some more auto issue's lol and i'm now looking for a manual to put in it so i can break cv's instead of autos :drinks2:

Picked up a alloy coolant tank off ebay.. it was $190 and looks like a copy of the pwr ones. Seems pretty good for the price, way better than the old brown tank that was there!

Beautiful looking car mate! Nice work

by **Parfrey** » August 18th, 2009, 10:43 pm

i've been thinking about getting BA GT 18s like dylan used to have... anyone no if they fit over brembo's? guessing they do?

Yeah good choice of wheel! I'm 99.9% sure they fit over Brembos.

Geez I wish I held out and got a black one

by **LOW_XR** » August 19th, 2009, 8:21 pm

pretty sure they fit the 4 pot bembo's.

by **bentls** » August 19th, 2009, 8:43 pm

yeh should clear 4pot brembos...as do ash's wheels....

by **bentls** » August 19th, 2009, 8:55 pm

shhhh.... lets not think of good times...

Should have brought it back, then i could have fitted the P/D charger to that as well and had two boosted fords.... THAT would have been good. Parf should have got it instead of the EF he had

by **Parfrey** » August 20th, 2009, 6:06 pm

As much as i like the black it is a bit of a pain to keep clean... but still worth it!
yeah probably should've waited for a 6speed but i cbf waiting. i wanted it then and there!

Don't really want to spend much money on rims so hopefully i can get some cheap.. mainly want them so i can fit big brakes cos mine are rooted

wheel nearly shakes outa ya hand!

by **Wave_Man** » August 20th, 2009, 6:47 pm

wheel nearly shakes outa ya hand!

isn't that normal? i just thought that was to help you stay awake when driving late at night....

by **bentls** » August 20th, 2009, 9:34 pm

lol for now..... machine the rotors.... u should get fair bit of change from $100...

future.. buy my 20" dark agents (will clear up to 6 piston brembos) fit some tyres, and then get 6/4 brembos hahahahaa....

ps the dark agents r brand new never been used 1k and they are urs..

no wheel nuts and 3 centre caps are silver 1 is white i dont know why thats how i got them lol

by **Parfrey** » August 20th, 2009, 10:35 pm

i was thinking of getting them machined but its extra effort lol and they'll end up the same in a few weeks..
20s sound very tempting.. but not sure if i'll like paying for rear tyres all the time! plus there's already a black xr6t in sunbury with the dark agents..

by **bentls** » August 20th, 2009, 10:39 pm

Yer 19s I bet. Do 1 better

by **Parfrey** » September 3rd, 2009, 2:07 pm

Been busy spending hard earned cash on this thing! Lol. got a 27mm whiteline front swaybar and a 22mm rear. Only fitted the front so far and its heaps good! Handles alot better

And i got some autometer cobalt gauges just waitin for the gauge holder.. Also the T56 should be going in as soon as i get my mal wood option 3+Clutch

yay no more auto!

by **bentls** » September 4th, 2009, 5:38 pm

How much u want for ur tail shaft?

by **Parfrey** » September 5th, 2009, 10:35 am

hmm not sure, once its all out i'll probably sell of the other bits so i'll let you no.

here's a couple of pics...

painted my fpv cooler silver again... stands out!

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 5th, 2009, 11:07 am

looks nice mate

by **Parfrey** » September 5th, 2009, 4:38 pm

thanks

well i would be puting pic's up of my gauges installed and working except i got supplied with the wrong bolt for the middle of the sandwhich plate :banghead:

so no oil pres/temp for now. man i hate it when i get given the wrong parts.
also i have 1 cobalt oil pressure and 1 cobalt boost gauge same as in the pics, that i'll be selling if anyone's interested..

by **Parfrey** » September 14th, 2009, 11:00 pm

T56 is in finally

After getting fucked around once again... wreckers gave me an xr8 box :thumbsup:

lucky schmee came to the rescue! went and grabbed a F6 box off him and i was back in action

now i have to get the flash tuner done again because it didn't work the first time. the car is currently speed limited to 45kph as it thinks the auto is missing..

Oh i also got some 19inch GTP's

by **iliov** » September 14th, 2009, 11:46 pm

Car looks fuken tough mate. Cant wait to have something like that one day.

by **LOW_XR** » September 14th, 2009, 11:58 pm

looks good mate. nce and classy with the black and chrome.

by **Kenaz** » September 15th, 2009, 7:33 pm

Looks really good man!

Simple, but effective :good:

Love it!

by **Parfrey** » September 29th, 2009, 10:46 pm

been driving her around smashing gears and stuff, loving the manual

opt 3+ clutch is heaps lighter than i expected too. seems to bite in pretty hard aswell. just need more power now! oh and brakes haha.
i also got tristans bootlid off his F6 so i can get the holes filled in on one of them when i get around to it.. getting over the plugged up holes in the boot.

by **67rce** » September 29th, 2009, 10:49 pm

What did you need to do to put the 6 speed in? What did you do with the Tailshaft? Asking cause I'm about to be assisting in a T56 - BA conversion

by **Parfrey** » September 29th, 2009, 11:11 pm

a few people have done it on fordxr6turbo...
wasn't too hard, i only used a tailshaft half not the whole thing. the slip yoke and length are different.
then there's the box, clutch + flywheel, crossmember, shifter and surround, pedal + master cyl (went in easy i didn't change the peddle box just cut the brake pedal down to regular size.) mmm might be more..

by **Parfrey** » October 21st, 2009, 9:39 pm

my boot should be back tomoz all smooth with no holes :grin:

Got some 3'' mandrel bends on the weekend to make coldside piping.. shouldn't be too hard to do. i want to buy a Plazmaman cooler when i have the cash and make most of the rest.
its got a shitty power steering leak coming from one of the hoses.. tried another o ring but still leaks

hope i don't need a new hose?

by **Parfrey** » October 25th, 2009, 1:38 pm

shiny boot :drinks2:

picked up some BF Turbo front brakes for a good price so might put them on today.. should be better for a while until i can get brembo's.

by **pHaT`eL** » October 25th, 2009, 6:36 pm

Lookin good!! Needs the Fairmont chrome boot spear though I reckon. Also needs rear dumpage

by **Parfrey** » October 28th, 2009, 8:12 pm

Yeah i wouldn't mind some rear dumpage but it already has SSL springs and it costs like $100+ to get them reset i think? plus its not great for the CV's either..
Need someone to photoshop a chrome boot spear on there.. not sure if it'd be sik enough?
I fixed the power steering leak with a bit of stuffing around.. stupid ford and ther power steering hose design! had to grind the old fitting off the end of it to put a new one on. Or i could have just got a whole new hose for $270 lol.
An the BF brakes on the front are sooo much better than my old ones!!

by **bentls** » October 28th, 2009, 8:23 pm

yeh can just change the union with a hacksaw lol

um yeh ghia garnish would look better than the fairmont spear...... remember blkphn? or look at a black bf2 ghia lol... an get bf tail lights lol

by **philzo** » October 29th, 2009, 8:18 am

yep bf tail lights :thumbsup:
