My old man has one of these in blue.

Fark they are pokey, his is manual too. Was hard getting a manual one!

<3 launch control!

by **hamoudy10** » September 19th, 2010, 4:11 pm

Wow thats gorgeous. Would love to drive a manual one of these beasts. Those seats look so much more supportive than in my dad's G6ET! My mate's mum has one like this but blue and auto, but Silver's my favourite! (same as my BF).

by **private9** » September 19th, 2010, 4:27 pm

Congrats mate, nice purchase!

Any mods planned?

by **rab** » September 19th, 2010, 4:35 pm

mods...yes but not straight away ! need to control my urges !

k+n
zost
possibly a bov (have one sitting i may be able to use
tune

but have to wait a while i think !

thanks for the kind word...apart from the ginger comment, my kid wants to know where dubbo is ! :lol:

ps, didnt know it had launch control ? :scratch:

havent spent any real time playing with it at all !

by **Commando** » September 19th, 2010, 4:51 pm

lol, just kidding mate :mrgreen:

Hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it!

by **NUT347** » September 19th, 2010, 10:14 pm

Launch control:

Be staitionary, select first (with your foot on the clutch obviously)
Foot flat on the acc (it will rev to 3800rpm and stay there)
Turbo builds a slight bit of boost
Drop!! The clutch = :yahoo:

by **rab** » September 19th, 2010, 10:20 pm

yeah i seen on youtube how it works on the xr6t as i had a little search for it but how do i set it/turn it on or is it automatically engaged when clutch depressed and 1st gear selected ? i thought it was an aftermarket add on kit and not a std factory feature ? :scratch:

by **NUT347** » September 19th, 2010, 10:33 pm

Its on all the time, and its factory.

Just first gear, foot on clutch and it won't rev past 3800rpm.

Don't do it until you have at least 1500kms racked up. Let the motor run in a touch.

by **sk8n6** » September 19th, 2010, 11:59 pm

nice

by **rab** » September 23rd, 2010, 5:54 pm

by **OMY-747** » October 17th, 2010, 12:49 am

very nice car mate.

by **rab** » October 27th, 2010, 4:06 pm

probably just fired for being a dick in general ! more suited to a holden workshop !

as for car, it keeps getting quicker and quicker ! must be self learning to a degree ! BOV fitted, goes in next week for 3000km checkover then its remap and some light jiggery pokery soon after ! :cool:

by **falcon4life** » October 27th, 2010, 6:14 pm

be careful with tune at my work we had an ss with mafless tune and blown motor - overfueling thinned out the oil

dont wanna see that happen to this mean beast

by **rab** » October 27th, 2010, 8:17 pm

ooh, take it was one of those mail order tunes ? not good either way ! must have been massively overfueling to cause that ! :cry:

anyway, lee @ RDP will be doing it ! maybe not for a while but defo !

tcs is pretty useless in these things ! 1/2nd and it spins/smokes till you change up !

turn it off and its rubber clouds ! :mrgreen:

so its already quick enough to embarrass 317 R8's...

by **falcon4life** » October 28th, 2010, 5:56 pm

it was B.E.S.T performance that done it but yeah it was pretty big fail keep this thing alive forever... oh wait its a falcon :cool:

by **rab** » March 3rd, 2011, 4:09 pm

getting better every drive ! box has loosened up a treat as it was tighter than two coats of paint ! but nice now ! pulls harder too now but need to watch as its a definite license loser ! too smooth and quick and 150+ is too easy to achieve with no effort !

by **bentls** » March 3rd, 2011, 5:03 pm

lol far from fired.... i quit cos the place was a dive.... been going downhill since long before i started work there....

ps the best feeling when you see the cars out on the road after the customers own them and you remember thrashing that car harder than the rest that day

hope your ones a lemon for being a narky little **** after i posted

by **rab** » March 3rd, 2011, 7:24 pm : **SnyperEB Likes this post**

your post .......now , about that.....why would you feel the need to say shit like that ?? I suppose driving one while being the workshop bitch is about as close to owning one you will ever get but i guess you know that hence your immature apprentice teas maid comment !

good onya, what you doing now ? working at the car wash ?? :thumbsup:

by **Malakai** » March 3rd, 2011, 11:47 pm

by **Parfrey** » March 4th, 2011, 6:03 pm
