Laticia's car will be alot quicker no doubt.... im only swapping cause i want my car to be a cruiser again & couldnt be f**k changing gears all the time, and so the missus can finally drive my car when im lazy (or drunk)  try putting 1 or 2 car lengths on my auto, i don't think you will!! you get a manual with a stuffed clutch and shagged box and it will run the same as an old worn out auto, where running a old wornout auto againest a manual with a new clutch and healthy box of cause it will beat it the auto. i have only not been able to beat two T5's which were fordfreaks old mont and fast xr's old el xr6 both with more work than mine though. A healthy auto will out torque a T5 any day...

Laticia.

FELLOW MEMBERS BEWARE do not deal with Sommers NL, she has ripped me off (3 figure sum) taken my money and ran, not responding to pm or phone THIS MEMBER CANNOT BE TRUSTED! SHE IS A CRUISE MOD IN QLD, name is Laticia Hopefully this signiture from Fast XR saves someone from being scammed like i have! And appears FordFairmont has an issue with her too. Seems like a right royal con artist. |

Well, think she sold FAST XR quite a few throttle bodies for a few hundred dollars and at first they were "lost in the post" and now she's just given up talking to him. Ford Fairmont swapped a gearbox for an auto tranny and has been left with a mess of a tranny and a car that was far better off before ever meeting whats-her-name.
Neither of these people have told me this, I am only guessing... My guesses have been wrong before, but I'd say I'm 95% correct with this particular guess. |
