i'd hope so given one the technological advancements in the last 17 years! haha

Only thing that put me off the GT was the interior was nowhere near the standard of the price tag, i know the engine etc is first rate but its about the whole package for me. Even HSV have grasped that given the level of there interiors is far superior to fpvs.

i personallly thing that was what held it back in terms of sales.

Yeah the interior is from 2008 (FG) though you have to remember, in terms of price can't have it all for that price :P

Performance is insane though for the GS price, to get something else with comparable power new would need to spend a pretty penny. /fordlineaustralia

Hows your new beast going anyway man? Gotta love dat dere new car smell.

No one can complain about expensive cars with bad interiors until you've driven a lotus lol

Speaking of illegal things out of the factory... theres just so many. licence plates off centre at the front of the car, fixed-back seats, the number of clicks on handbrake, exhaust noise levels (Maserati first to come to mind)

86 interior is pretty cool; buttons in all the right places...you feel at home in 2 minutes. Surprisingly comfortable for such a small car, and to accommodate 6'3 with room to boot.

    • 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)
