oh no big man i found that very offensive cause you think i look like you :banana:

yeh but my 13 year old japanese CAP looks and performs 10x better than your 2008 "refined" (cant stop laughing at that) falcon, thats hang on wait for it... built/desinged by a bunch of diploma engineers that rock up to work half pissed :D

but what would i know right...

What a f**ken riot !!!

I bet she is billy hairy all over her chest.

Can anyone say, VE door handles? Looks like ford went to Holden and brought them.

Ford Australia wanted to implement the falcon into the Ford global architecture so certain pattern cues were carried over from European Ford DNA , what they call it the " kinetic " design.

So the door handles are in fact the ones like on the Mondeo and not the VE.

Ahh finally the "Fairmont" turbo. I heard about these some time ago during a meeting with the state bosses here

From what i have been told the calder test days for the F6 have gone great, going to be much better around the track than the current ones

The model range looks great, finally a dash that doesn't look like its come from a cheap korean taxi

Orian....Aurion. You cant get 0-100km/h and 0-400m times out of power and torque figures. Look at the current GT, has 290kw and only does mid 14's if that.

actually in one of motor magazines tests they got the gt to do a high 13.

This one may be the pick of the range. Traditionally the Fairmont was the car for pensioners. But with a turbo motor Ford won't be able to go too soft. So you get the best motor they make in a reasonably well specced car without all the boy racer bullsh!t. Nice. Hope they price it well.

New XR6T looks like it'll get family car duties for me when me and the mrs settle down!

Sounds like a great car/package and looks pretty good, I think in the flesh would look better!

assyrian4evaa - you sir, need to open your eyes. You are as bad as the one minded bogans who bag out jap cars.

You obviously are not a car enthusiast.

well i guess you can get them on LPG from factory so that is their answer for that for now. and they are making them run leaner to get better economy, which is also why the power is increasing. i think it will all depend on what happens with the price of fuel in the future, and with ethanol.

u dont understand i am very open minded when it comes to cars atleast so dont just judge me from those few comments maybe if you heard about them as much as i have you'd be over them by now..

i like aussie cars and own 1myself but they just dont do it for me as much. i hope they sell really well because it keeps jobs around but we'll see how they go

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
