Missed this link last time

I upgraded in late 2008, was looking at the XR6 Turbo, however decided to go the FPV F6 FG model

(sorry pics i had saved on my PC have been deleted), white/same as pic below

Have considered to upgrade on the Turbo, however didnt want any issues with warranty/etc *if there was a problem thereafter

The kids love it (so do i) when i give it a little & the turbo kicks in......

JEALOUS :drool:

You don't need to upgrade anything mate. I'm sure she quick enough

I have the BFII F6 Typhoon, Bog stock standard, 270kw at the fly. A nice upgrade from a 99 Toyota Starlet

I had no intention of buying it. I was happy with the little Starlet, it worked, unlike most of the other four pots I have owned in the past...... So, one day I was trawling the car dealers (just to pass some time) and saw it, asked the dealer if I could take it for a test drive. He told me, "Sorry mate, she sold. But I can take ya mobile number and when the new FG arrives in a few weeks I'll give you a call and you can have a test in that one"

I thought, OK cool, no dramas. I wasn't all that disappointed because I couldn't really afford the beast anyway!!
The dealer called me 2 days later on the Monday, the car was not sold, some clerical error BS. I went in for a test drive that arvo. Signed all the paperwork for her the next day. Drove it away on Wednesday morning!!!

Quickest 40k I have ever spent LOL. I will give credit to the dealership for organising all the bank stuff, cover notes and rego transfer in such a short period of time, well done guys. It's a pity but, once they have their coin, they magically become less reliable and understanding when\if you need something answered or sorted out!!!!!!!!

Anyways, that is my short story I don't have any pics atm. This is a promo pic, but mine is almost identical :v:

Thanks for the thread.

Sold the Pentagons, they just didn't suit the calais i didn't think. Bought these new.

Cheers CJ, its pretty low right now. Didn't realise the Kings SSL springs would drop it that much in the rear before i changed them, i might put a bit higher springs in the rear later on as my exhaust scrapes occasionally on big dips in the road.

What sort of boost are you running/power again? Do the Silvia's hook up well?
Hoping for around 500rwhp on about 7-8psi with the turbo on the stock bottom end

14 psi and 230-240 hp atw but was dyno'd on a slipping clutch, not
Sure if that made a difference, 500+ will be good, but are you prepared for the driveline parts to be breaking regularly

What MPH did you run?

Yeah the auto isn't going to like the new found power but if it breaks i'll sort it out. The standard commodore parts are pretty strong so should hold up fine (other then the weak arse auto box).

Hey Boys, This is the reason ive been MIA for a while.. (and after a few bad deals and losing out on a fair bit of money), im sorta like you Nick i have two passions cars and cards.. and its so hard to balance the two.. im either really in the cards or really in to modding a car..
this is my new little baby.. always wanted a V8.. (after driving turbos/4cyls) nothing better than the grunt you hear at 5000rpm.. enough with my boring talk.. here she is...

i know its weird.. an ASIAN with a V8 Monaro.. but i love it..

ENJOY!

TFL!!!
