These are from other forums I've been researching Holden for quite a bit now, and its just making me hate them more and more. For those of you who wish to spout fact whenever somebody gives you that 'Ford Sucks' bullcrap; perhaps we should be discussing Holden's engineering skills? 1986: They needed a 6 that ran on unleaded. They didnt know how to make one. They bought Nissan's RB30 instead. 1988: Right they have a VL/Opel Monza that they have made to look bigger by turning it into a VN. Now they needed a new engine again. They still didn't know how to make engines so they asked Buick to send us some V6's. Were they shocked when they took them out of the box and the instructions said "For front-wheel drive applications only". Not to worry, some shoddy pipe reworking and a new clutch housing will fix that. "OK. Now we need a four-speed auto, too" Again, they had to source them from the US and decided to get probably what I believe to be the worst auto I have experienced in my life. 1997: OK So they decided to grab the Omega platform because it came with free IRS. Little did they know that most manufactures stopped using trailing arms a LONG time ago. Not to worry. The Volkswagon Beetle look is sure to become popular again. 1999: "Damn this infernal 5.0L. We keep adjusting the fuel mixture but cant get anymore out of it. Let's get Chevrolet to send us some of their left over LS1's." They obviously were not too concerned about any issues relating to alloy engines. That about sums it up. PS: This isn't brand bashing at all. Its simply facts, guys. I can't see why we can't discuss the competition in whatever light because if at the end of the day, Ford make a better product. So if we end up mixing 172 GM company's worth of parts, we'll end up with a Holden. I call it Confetti. ** You win games. We'll win wars. ** Well, I'm bored, and in a shit-stirring mood, so it's time for you Holden freaks to hear a thing or two. V8 supercars are completely different to what you can buy at the dealership. The motors in the V8 supercars aren't even the same as what the road cars have; they are restricted to 5-litre capacity. The only thing that a bomba-door V8 supercar and a bomba-door road car have in common is the shape. They even cut the bodyshell up to modify the suspension mounts, and weld extra bits in to make them stronger. HRT constantly wins because hole-den plugs millions of dollars into them every year, if any of the Ford teams had HRT's budget, I'm sure they would win a lot more too. Oh, and lets not forget that Holden race cars use FORD 9" diffs and FORD rear suspension, namely the Watts link rear suspension developed and used on all Falcons from XE up to AU. holden is un-Australian. Their engines are made in America, by Chevy and Buick, (V6 engine was released in America in late 1970's). So too are the immensely crappy auto transmissions, which road testers constantly bag. HSV's are styled by some poofta Pom over in England. Even Tom Wilkinshaw(and if you know anything about hole-den, then you should know who he is) is an Englishman. That's right, think Prince Charles and you're close to the mark. holdens last Australian car was the WB ute. Don't try to tell me VT Commondoor, they were styled off some European Vauxhall shitbox. In case you don't know, Vauxhall is owned by Generic Motors, and is a poverty line car company, like Daewoo. Oh, that’s right holden bought Daewoo too didn't they. Next we'll be seeing Daewoo commondoors. I'm a proud Australian, and I'm proud of FORD AUSTRALIA. Ford fully develops the Falcon in Australia. It is the ultimate Australian car. The Engines are Australian, (V8's are American design but manufactured here in Australia, and Tickford strips them down and hand modifies them), the transmissions are built and designed in Australia, and the diffs are made in Australia. Fords new XR6 turbo engine is the most powerful AUSTRALIAN motor every produced, yet the basic design of the motor dates back to the early 1960's. After saying this, Motor Magazine describes it as almost BMW like for smoothness and sound. They say it one of the sweetest sounding six cylinder engines your ever likely to hear. Oh, just to rub salt in the wounds, 4litre XR6T engine makes 240kw at 6psi boost. Holdens pathetic 5.7litre V8 make less, just 235kw. Ford keeps turbo boost this low so the gearboxes won't blow up. Ford Engineers admit the engine is capable of in excess of 300kw when the boost is wound up. What is the most powerful HSV?? I believe the 5.7litre GTS has 300kw, and they cost $90 000+. How much would is cost to by a 4LITRE XR6 turbo and have the boost pressure wound up, and a stronger gearbox fitted? Oh, probably $50 000, maybe $55 000. Cost of seeing brand new GTS driver CRYING? PRICELESS! Oh, and in the late -
Even better just go for straight Touline.

FMIC reduces the airflow to the radiato. My advice would be to upgrade your radiator when you fit a FMIC. -
