Key changes on the new Orion Falcon;

- Standard/Base model XT Falcon 200kw

- Standard/base model XT Falcon with a German built 6-speed ZF Auto tranny

- Improvements & changes on both front & rear suspension setup

- Audi like interior, design and quality wise

- Xenon headlights for XR & FPV models

The cars design is said to be inspired from Ford Iosis (a concept model) which later on was carried on to the new European 2008 Mondeo, overall a larger version.

These are CGI images, they are not real, the end result could come out some what fairly different but should give an idea of how the next Falcon which is due to be released by April next year should look-alike.

Personally I like them and would definitely buy a F6 Thyphoon varient, if i was looking into purchasing a new car. Been reading some posts on various forums on the Orion, some predict the Falcon 6 to have Direct Injection?

dear son of rajab... thats horrendus

The CGI photos do look shocking but look at the real thing.. it does seem promising, should be better in the flesh, I have no doubt it will look more modern than that fat, over sized VE.

Apparently the Orion has gone through a extensive weigh sheding program... It's most likely to weigh less than a VE.

could be worse anyone remember the AU falcon

The au was and still is one of the most hiddeous cars ever produced. The car looked retarded and looked like it was crying and melting. Droppy headlamps and taillights and that round spherical shape omg - such a terribel looking vehicle.

Love it... any for everyone who think it looks like the VE (which likes a combination of a couple of cars) are you even looking with your eyes open??

They look nothing like them... they look like a natural progression from the BA

I like the VE apart from one thing, the arse end sits too high which is one of the ghey things about the R33 i dont like.

Each to their own i spose... but i like it and like with everything when the first pics released are nothing less then CGI graphic renditions never do them justice.

u guys are all retarded... so basically your saying this looks like a VE which means the VE was a copy of the BA because these new fords look the same as the BA?

LOL

no wonder most of u drive 33s :rant:

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
