Hello from SA

by **TURBO_FANTASY** » July 15th, 2012, 3:53 pm

I am new to this forum so I thought I would throw a shout out. My name is Shaun and I am from SA. I am eagerly awaiting for my new Falcon to be ready for me to pick up within the next couple of days and once it is ready I will try and get a couple of pics up.

Car is a 2005 BF XR6 Turbo in the colour Fantasy. It has all the XR6 extras like premium sound, fairmont dash clock and some weird seats in it which I have not seen before that I will take a picture of an upload when I get it.

She is going to stay fairly standard for a while until the warranty runs out on it as I looked into what breaks the warranty as Ford doesnt like upholding them as they can get extra money but as my mates dad is a salesman for them he told me all the ins and outs. Only thing I may change will be the rims. I am hoping to get either a BA F6 19" or Dark Argent 19" wheel but will see what happens.

How much warranty does a 7 year old car have?

by **TURBO_FANTASY** » July 15th, 2012, 4:11 pm

Came with 3 month/5000 kms as standard but I paid an extra $1485 and got it extanded by 4 years and unlimited kms as my mates dad helped me out on it. So I now have 4 year and 3 month unlimited km warranty on it. If I modify anything what so ever then I start losing warranty. Only thing I am allowed to do is wheels. And I have to get it serviced through a log book service mechanic so I can not do it myself. But he is giving me a coupon book when I pick it up so I get cut price servicing.

Welcome to the forum, bummer about the warranty and not being able to do anything to the car though

as long as your happy.

Chuck up some pics

Yeh. I was going to do a few small mods like wheels, speakers (as they start popping when you pass 25 on the volume), and supposedly I can modify it some what if I get Ford to install the parts so when some funds come back I may chuck a better front mount on, a turbo back exhaust and then I might get one of those CAPA tuners. I was told if anything goes wrong just switch it back to Valet Tune on the CAPA tuner so factory boost gets restored as they will chuck a fit if I take it in on 10psi for a service or anything. But it might take me 12 months to get to that point but at least it goes alright for now. I will take some pics tomorrow and chuck them up.

Also, does anyone know if there are any SA Ford events or cruises coming up?
