Is it auto Leigh?

Yeah, auto is way better than manual in them + its my cruise / daily car. Got a motorbike if i feel the need for a manual :P

I'll be getting a tune once engine has been worn in, go down to calder or heathcote and run some 11s :P

Mustang dash is pretty cool how it goes red:

Sif drop a skid in your own workshop driveway

Farkin...just love tapped some chick in a Beamer...only paint chips and light scratches but WHY do people have to slam on their brakes to make their turn offs in peak hour :/

sucks gonna cost you much? if any?

Hsv styling > ford IMO

I love the new engines though Leigh totally agree they own hsv however next gen hsv motor is rumoured to be lightly detuned 400kw motor from USA :D

I like the look of them as well, but also like the fpvs

senators are boss

The new hsvs just look tacky IMO. They seem to try and tack on as many grey/black abstract bits of plastic as they can fit

Ummm... Grey tacky bits? I don't think Ford is exempt of this design fail:

I don't think either has anything on Euro or Jap.

Not a fan of the stripes but the grey under the lights works.

On my phone so cbf getting a photo but whatever hsv it is that has the shit abstract shapes on the rear bar, they don't fit in at all.

Not sonething worth debating as it's all personal taste anyway

Yah I don't like the HSV either. Actually the only new age Ford or Holden I /do/ like is the Monaro in its simplest form. That will age really well and it's elegant.

Love those in white or black dot post ugly color!

Fpv looks good

Jeppe it's not a realistic comparison to put hsv/fpv to BMW/merc etc as your talking m5/e63 comparison for size but 170k MORE in price hardly comparable

Still not a fan of e3, ideally black and series 1 looks best imo:

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
