FG F6's are going pretty cheap these days :D

I plan on picking up a second hand FG, maybe not a F6, as my next car in a few years. The value of falcons goes to shit quickly, but its great for second hand buyers.

Well you can pick an F6 up for around 50 these days. While yes, the value of them drops to shit after a few years the original 03/04 XR6T's can still be sold for around 18,19k provided they've been treated right. Typhoons are still around the 30 - 40s mark for a well treated one as well. The performance models seem to hold value a bit easier.

FG XR6T is actually quicker than the F6 is anyway!

ahh yer i know it. Company policy does not allow us to take one to the shops for lunchs and what not, every km must be accounted for on them unfortunently. Plus the customers don't like it.

pfft how easy is it to account for the kms though. Oh yeah there was a noise coming from the muffler bearings so we had to take it for a road test. So that's where the extra 1200kms came from :thumbsup:

If I was going to buy a ford I'd probably be looking at one of the new Focus Rs models. They should depreciate nicely in the next few years and they'd be a stupidly fun car for day to day stuff. Either that or one of the new Falcons with the 5l coyote engine :worship:

Oh and Morning Mangs.

221kw and 400nm through the front wheels lol. Apparently the tricky diff eliminates torque steer very well. Would love to have a go in one.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Love the add. "no rust". That thing had rust hanging out of it at the last dyno day I saw you at. Time doesn't heal all wounds especially rusty wounds!

Lol. Somebody broke the internet. And everything else. No one can do any work. Oh well, I'll bum on the interwebs on my phone.

@Colin: some surface rust, and a bubble or two on the bonnet from memory. Nothing too bad.

P.s. how do you quote/multiquote on mobile sau?

we cut all the rust out when we removed the rear section, from memory the top of the rear screen was starting to get some surface rust.

Mangs

work sucks. forcing me to do some actual work lately. not impressed. as a result, looking for another job. I feel I should be able to get away with an hour worth of honest work in a day if working for government. I actually had to put in a good 5 hours worth of work today....

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
