Don't laugh, I'm lovin the ovlov. That sweet straight-6 is silky smooth and sounds like a Lamborghini when I give it a bit.
These guys know me too well, I don't need to add anything more. The car has a speed camera shield and photon torpedos for dealing with dribbling morons in the overtaking lane. I'll let you discover...
Hey another thread jack question for the experts, my daughters Suzuki picked up some crap that looks like she dove through glue. It's not visible but the lowr surfaces feel like sand paper with all...
Thanks mate, always good to have a recommendation from first-hand experience, you've convinced me to do it.
Wow this is really off topic, but yeah I have the XC70 and I'm really pleased with it. It continues to exceed my expectations. The straight 6 is super responsive and silky smooth, the transmission is...
Chris would you have Opticoat done again?
You can have my Hyperflow TMIC for $500.
Haven't checked the ADRs but my new car has an 'emergency brake light' feature which senses a panic situation and flashes the brake lights at a rate of four times per second until the speed reduces...
My dreadnought failed exactly the same way. Their v2 mount is aluminium. I discussed this with a metallurgist and his view was that the new one is even weaker and may fracture rather than bend when...
I was offered $11,000 for my MPS yesterday by Parkland Mazda. They're not holding their value very well. However I won't be giving my car away for that kind of money.
I wouldn't assume the transfer case is stuffed just because there is some metal in the oil. Are we talking chunks of metal and broken gear teeth or the fine metal particles of normal wear and tear?

Hey Mark, after reading your comprehensive first post I wonder if your repairer understands the 6MPS AWD system. Some of the things they have said just don't sound credible, eg the exhaust pipe...
Good luck and hopefully no hassles. Banishing the SUV look is good, but you're gonna love the way it handles with some camber up front.
The lower spring platform should just slide down over the shock and sit on the collar. At least that's how it was when I did mine. Then compress the spring and bolt the top on. Swap the bottom fork...
Before you completely rule out doing it yourself, if you have a spring compressor the front springs and shocks (they're not struts) are not very difficult at all, you shouldnt need to hammer anything...
You could buy my 6MPS and have none of those worries. Baiased not ;)
Depends how you define "better drivers car". As a driving enthusiast I would argue that a RWD platform makes the best drivers car because the dynamic qualities more closely match the particular...
That rationale only applies to old-style engines running an open crank cases with mineral oil. Your engine with a closed crank case running synthetic oil is a very different story. Changing at oil...
That's the problem right there.
dazza what oil change interval have you been using?
That's an interesting question, I've never looked at how much I've spent on these improvements. But a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation comes to $12,740. That doesn't include routine things like...
Yeah I'm cool with that. If we ever get to that stage and time off work is a problem it may be worth looking at transporting. When we brought our cars to Perth from Sydney a couple of years ago it...
Some good advice from Fully6mps. You'd be doing yourself a disservice assuming some of the cars here are modded in the same sense as a pimply faced kid would mod a car. Let me explain.
As you read...
Welcome. If you would like to own the best 6MPS currently for sale in this country, flights to Perth are available for under $200. Then you can drive it home or freight it, and still be in front in...
