About 1800, maybe a bit less which is expected I guess for a big car.. got about 300kgs on my old GTR :O.. still do a tune and your in 11s.

heavyweight

Obviously upgrade the 245s, and will be doing brembos / suspension down the track as well

don't they already have brembos

lol trust Ford to call a model the "Arse pick"

was talking to a mate at Ford, apparently they're just badging all the leftovers with special edition bits and flogging em off so they can make room for the new model next year.

yeah my brother got a BF MKII ute from auctions (old boss repaired it) and was badged as a ripcurl edition

the only thing was they had put like wetsuit seat covers in and sold it for an extra $3.5k from new

The joys of marketing...

Not sure, was a plumbers van, I haven't read the article but I'm guessing something was in the van.

A MFB spokesman said the incident appeared to be caused by an oxy-acetylene leak, a highly flammable gas commonly used by plumbers and refrigeration mechanics.

Edited by blah_blah

Most likely there aren't any ventilation boxes in the van.

To transport a oxy-acetylene tank, you need ventilation should it be secured inside a van, otherwise the pressure inside expands and combine it with heat, ignition of any shape or form, you'll get this.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
