Fek, that is one hot car.

The FG's are near to perfection in my book. Just the right amount of aggression and class. HSVs are too boofy for my liking and the BAs can be a bit underdone.

So, so hot. Awesome colour, too.

Grats :yes:

i agree for the sedans but not for the utes. i don't like the FG utes anywhere near as much as with the holdens or the BA/BF utes.

I sort of agree but I guess I personally forgive Ford for a slight aesthetic problem with the utes as it's done from a "Function over Form" perspective. I like cars to work properly as well as look good. Unfortunately the bland rear end and the big gap between the cabin and tray is a necessary evil.

Tho have you seen an FG with an alloy flat try? Very, very tough.

Not a fan of the colour (or wheels), but I love the concept of the following:

yeah the trayback falcon utes in the BA were tough. haven't seen an FG though (that pic looks like it's a BA/BF)

Haven't seen one either, It would be so hard to drive in the wet... no weight at all. fcking scary...

Sorry to bump an old thread, just wondering how you're finding the F6 Ute after a few years?

Need a ute for work and narrowed it down to either a E3 Maloo R8 or and FG F6 much like yours.

Drove the Maloo yesterday and was impressed with the handling and the noise, but I think I miss boost a little too much!

How do you find the handling with the live rear axle?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
