so many ford fans in here ,funny that asoon as the xr6t came into place that alot of them became sau members mmmm i have a turbo so ill become a sau member. there not quick and dont matter how much power it pulls u still have to get that fat arse moven.why the 34 a realy good r32 say for 20 grand with f all mods piss the 40-50 grand straight off its seat and its alot older and better looking ,not to mention that it has only taken ford this long to get where it is now maybe in 10-20 years they will be up in performance

Yeah. I love the look of the GT. sexy beast. As long as you have the power to match which you do.

Isnt it funny that you try and be civil on these forums but other users have got nothing nice to say.Were i come from other forums execpt other makes of cars.

Vuster ,Nice ride mate and i guess these other guys here dont like to extend there gratitude for your ride and advice even if were from the"dark side"

Actually Vuster has quite a good thread going discussing how his beast would run against some skylines.

Generally if you have an open mind then you get the same response from us.

Myself I quite like the xr6-ts and I know a bit about them as my mate with one won't shut up about it. He did a deal with MRT to be a guinea pig for their edit testing and is making 225rwkw.

6 speed with Triple plate clutch.There is another car with the same power and its an auto.

Im running auto tranny in mine and its at its limits of durability.I have a shift module and tranny cooler on it to prolong the life.You can get auto rebuilds for about 4k but i can do better.

The autos with power upgrade pull better 1/4 mile times than most manuals.The quickest XR6T with 360rwkw ran a 10.98 with racing slicks and auto.

Has not run it yet but both cars are hoping 9 sec passes thats if they dont rip the arse end out.The manaul will have a hard time getting it down over the auto.

Both cars are drivin every day on the street and are not tubbed or anything for drags.They will be runnig slicks thou.

What had to be done to the 600kw car??

I don't know how he could drive a 600kw car around without taking it to the drags yet... Tell him to hurry up... :(

40-50 grand for the stock rock, 4-5 grand for trans, 7-10 grand motor , if your running 9s its a full rollcage ,2grand 4 slicks ,now we r talking some bigg dollars ,congrats to its owner and his pocket 90,000 + for nine sec hehe thats not bad lol tell me why r u guys in this forum (realy) if it is to stir shit your in the wrong bowl .

$$$$$

No where near as much as my mates 32gtr that has gone through about 5 motor and different turbo applications to achieve a low 10 sec pass.

Spend 5k on an XR6T and you could run 10 sec pass.

380rwkw

Auto

Diff gears

slicks

=10 sec pass

i spent 2 k on mine to achieve from 195rwkw to 300rwkw.

Also to the arguement that they are no good at track work,If you seen one set with the right springs and a manual trans and good driver they can mix it with most cars.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
