1 BA XT (used) ....$24,000
1 Set of performance rubber and rims ....$3,000
1 bloody big engine and other bits ....$100,000

Watching the RTA or Ford warrenty guys face turn purple and explode as you pull up to the inspection bay......PRICELESS!

You should have no problems with warranty, unless you fit under drives

Warranty? Pffft
If they have faith in their product they should allow it.

Well if they have an issue with a CAI then yours are minor mods compared to that so Warranty should be intact.

But i would definately get them to look at the bonnet, something not right there :P
