Mate its not a drag strip so its not safe to do those speeds. I no im being a bit of a cock for saying it considering ive done 240km down the main street in my home town in Singleton.(then crashed into the library)
Dude thats just plain dumb 4 times the speed limit on a public road. to bad if you hurt or killed somebody. you'd be looking at a long jail term. if you wanna race the ricers do it on a race track.
Didnt he say it was in the NT ?
no limits at the time of writing . so quite legal .
I must have bought the biggest lemon ,first diff probs ,then turbo faults ,and now on a trip into northern territory on open speed limits I thought I would give it a wind up on the early hours of tuesday morning 23 august . It was the first time I had taken it to that speed and at a touch off 4500 rpm it threw a rod out the side,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,who knows what will happen from here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
If anything is altered and not recoded you can find your self with a huge bill I suspect , was it all stock ?
dont expect much from ford cause i know fpv once you pay your money dont wanna know who you are if you got one of their many duds as id suspect the same with ford, sorry to say mate but ive been given the to bad so sad you should have got a holden when i complaind under warrenty about problems with my brand new fpv f6 ute, hence the all out modifications now on the ute hehe

That sounds like a nasty story from FPV - what went wrong woth the car and what did the dealer bounce back? Had you already run some mods on the car or did the dealer suspect you had been making some changes?
My F6 has been running OK so far - what do you think the dealers look for when giving you the f$^&-off?
Might be good for the other "enthusiasts" to keep in mind....
Its a shame to hear that these motors are letting go. My car has done over 400 laps on track, it runs 255RWKW's on standard driveline and gets hammered. The only thing ( apart from killing rotors and pads ) that has ever gone wrong with it is it once had the oil over temp come on so I went into nanna mode for a lap shut it down and turned it on and whallaaaa 10 more laps before home time.
