I saw the car on Carsales and got worried you were leaving it for something lighter and faster, good to see you're sticking around the Ford camp though.
Can't wait to see the new beast. Whens the Phase 3 kit go on?

Hehe, no Im a ford man through and through.

You probably wont believe it but Im not looking to mod the car any more than it is at the moment. I might change the cooler when the new FPV units come out for the FG (if its a bit bigger than the bf phoon unit) but that's about it. Driving with you fellas on the roads showed me that it's not all down to horsepower. If you like drag racing then go all the way with mods, but to enjoy the car on the roads cruising and some track work you really don't need much more power than what these things make stock. mine pulled 230rwkw on spiro's dyno (probably 300+ on hub units ) and now it makes 270rwkw which is plenty good. The other car was so stupidly fast it was a matter of time before I killed myself. Just hope the new owner doesn't. Was a blast to own though. I guess it's a stage I've gone through.
Here is a pic I took of it on the way back from melbourne (bought it there).

[Bluehoon]

Nice one steve.
Reading your above post and following the bathurst run I am not surprised about the decision you have made.
Heck my ute with ox cart suspension was reeling you in...

Time for it to have a run in up the putty. Do the suspension and go all out there with some good rubber. Then nothing will touch you...

Ounce of power for a pound of handling. I know it sounds odd but I know a El XR6 on LPG, doesn't even put out 120RWKW yet it decimates anything that comes up against it, and on the gas pulls records at wakefield... All in suspension..

Enjoy the F6!

Cheers

you would have gone bankrupt from the fuel usage before it killed ya lol.. Didnt you have to fill up twice when we went to lightgow and belpin a while back?? hehe

The new phoon looks awesome btw. Is it completely stock? or what mods did u do at autotech?

[Airmon]

I'm sure everyone knows by now that this is on this Sunday.

Weather looks to be a nice Warm 21, and being Camden it wouldn't be a bad idea to dress Warm it can be windy. They say Possible showers but they say that every week.

See Grums post here:

For the specifics.

For those travelling from Sydney here are a few pics to help you out. Camden Valley way is pretty long, you can either hop on Camden Valley Wy from either the M5/M7 Exit or from the Hume Hwy and follow it down towards Camden.
Its in between Narellen and Camden.
Or you can take the Narellen Rd exit and follow that until Camden Valley Way.
Or From the Northern Road for those coming from the West and NW.

[HOWIES]

yeah i heard showers to mate. Praying for a nice day though.
Gonna give the ute a good wash tomorrow so it's all nice for my first meet/cruise/anything to do with cars ever. haha i'm so excited....a little drunk too on a friday arvo.

Thats what happens when you finish at 11am. :-)

[Fev]

lucky bastard

[Airmon]

I think it'll be a good day whenever. And going to meets is like the mod bug, you go to one and then you're hooked.

I think it'll beat the very first B Series meet, Krispy Kreme's carpark in the pouring rain.

[HOWIES]

don't under estimate camden. It can be very cold and wet out there. haha

meets = addiction. Oh god here we go again.....why doesn't anyone warn me about this stuff???

Yeah the phantom used a lot of fuel. But I looked at it like spending money on going to the movies or the like because it was a weekend car.
I guess that's a problem when you mod cars to that level - they use a lot of fuel, aren't quiet anymore and lose a bit of their streetability.

The new car is totally stock apart from the tune.

[JC260]

so was anyone interested in meeting up then driving down (cruise like) to the BBQ?

[bdave351]

Where from?

[JC260]

Just wondered if anyone wanted to, if not, no matter

[Feathers]

Well it's certainly going to rain now, as I've spent the afternoon washing, polishing, waxing, detailing the car.

I'm picking up a friend on the way, then heading out.

[Airmon]

Bugger, I havn't even washed the car let alone detailed it!
I'll just park on the other side of the car park :

[HOWIES]

well i was just in the middle of polishing mine and i had then engine running with my high beams on to try and dry out the condensation in the headlight, the garage was getting a little fumey so we turned the engine off so i wouldn't get too high. lol......then before i knew it, i realised i'd left my lights on and my battery was dead.......worse still....i can't find my f-ing jumper leads

[Ruger]

We really had no chance of sunshine, with this many of us cleaning up our cars, of course it was going to rain.
