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?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
