I thought I would come on here and tell the story of my fgx xr8 which has just under 8000kms on it. I have seen that there was another post on it which was closed but I don't care about it being on a public forum now.
The car was denied warranty on the supercharger based solely on that it had been down the drag strip and this then therefore adds to my character and manor of my driving. Even thou it is unrelated as this was month and months ago. The car itself as no engine mods other then a air filter and no tune. The whole reason it hasn't been tuned yet was to keep the warranty. There was no point hiding it has been down the strip as the ford rep came armed with photos from this forum to the dealership. Apparently it's the ford engineering department that has denied it as it's not a manufacturing fault. Not sure how they can tell that because the dealership looked at it for 15mins. Not to mention it took 2 weeks for them to tell me that. I now have a dead car that sounds like a meat mincer siting at home that no longer has any drive line warranty left because it was driven like a performance car should be. Some may say it's my own fault but I honestly think it's pretty pathetic on fords behalf.
