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 :(

so you're saying 33s driver are retarded? :rant:

i reckon anything from Ssangyong (spelling) have to be the ugliest cars ever produced.

but fords are a close second (except the FPV models)

:)

The new Falcon looks alright. When I first saw it, I thought VE, but I guess I wouldn't mind one.

so you're saying 33s driver are retarded? :)

well i said all... so in no uncertain terms i guess you could definately quite possibly determine that within a 100% certainty of being probable.

ni is right....the VE basically stole the headlights off the BA and the roof/doors look extremely similar to the BA as well, this new ford is just the next step up for the BA, and still looks like a ford, which holden stole parts of for the VE anyway :)

I second that notion..

the new ve range produces alot of noise.. but dont really move anywhere?

you know what hammers... VM TRANSIT TURBO DIESEL 6SPEED MANUAL!!!

they go bloody good for a van

i know, i was driving one and it lit up 5 gear lol although it was wet but still impressive haha

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.

The VE, BA and the new Falcon were all designed by the same people, specifically e-dag in melbourne. They had a few new project heads, but the interior, body and layout were all made there. Holden and Ford don't have a full time ground-up car design team, they outsource most of the CAD work to E-dag, and then they refine or tailor their design. Ford does have a significant staff of CADers, but they generally troubleshoot problems and refine designs and provide options, rather than create a vehicle from the ground up.

So, The Falcon and the commodore are more alike than they are different. Think of them as cousins who have been in a family feud for years.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
