Overheard him talking about it... apparently its never seen a 1/4 mile strip (WTF??), has wicked rolling acceloration (bye bye SS Gen 3's) but is a pig off the line. (auto)

Me thinks my Stall might fix that problem

I did chat with the owner, he was from Adelaide. Only took 2 pics of the engine bay, sorry. It runs 5 psi of boost, puts down just over 200kw at rw, 9.0:1 compression, custom pistons from states, fully balanced & blueprinted engine, runs a chip also & he's wanting to raise the rev limit to get more out of it. Not run down the quarter due to it not changing the fun factor of the car, which I agree with. Was a daily driver but now driven 3 times a week. Has bonnett bulge, got to Melb from Adelaide on single tank of fuel & DTE showing about 50km.

I do have a question though - why is Mel washing Jeff's wheels?! Ran out of things to clean? I didnt see her washing the bloody Focus last yr!!! :
hahahaha, i only washed the wheels because someone had the lame excuse 'its only another XR8' and no one would pay attention to it...it was annoying the hell out of me that they were so grubby so i cleaned them....

And for the Focus, maybe next time... i was to busy being someone's gopher at wagga : hahahaha

Mick’s ute is absolutely stunning. You really need to see it up close as photos don’t do it justice.

The AU XR6 is owned by my uncles mate. My uncle did the supercharger conversion on it whilst he owned it ... He sold it to scott and bought the Orange GT that was next to it in the show. Both excellent cars.

All I'm saying is maybe you try something different in the next display, show"n"shine as I know myself I wanted to meet a few people but I was put off by that.
Enough of my gripe but a big congrats on the display you guys had as it was nice to see some forum members cars in the flesh, saying that meeting Casper and other guys were great. :

Mick
echoe those thoughts....I wasn't at the FPV day, but it was good to meet ya Mick at the Ford day and yeah I agree with the others...your car looks much better in the flesh than those pics you keep postin'!!! haha
btw the xr8 ute has arrived and from what I have seen (or haven't seen) must be one of very few '06 plated Bf 8 utes around.... :evil3:

Damn, don't you hate it when you think you have come up with your own ideas and only to find out there's another that looks like it. OH WELL : : : : : :

It's an Odyssey dry cell battery, not a prob with mounting sideways. I would be more concerned with the plastic clip holding it in place, I assume he didn't buy it at the $2 shop though.
