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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
