nice improvement  the earlier manuals for ford and holden were all 1200, no chance of towing a car with those

[Rekin]

I got nothing but praise for Internodes customer service and billing/sales. Now that i have an NBN box installed i would switch back to them in a heartbeat
Though guy at work is trying to convince me MyRepublic's $60 high speed NBn unlimited plan is the way to go

Search whirlpool for CVC for each isp. That's what you are paying for now as it's all running on the same infrastructure.

Car washing stuff. OMG got onto a telstra tech that know's what he's talking about  

 

Tier 1 is offshore. Tier 2/3 are onshore to deal with any fall-outs/exceptions/complaints 

In the case of billing disputes or customer complaints where you are ready to walk most banks/isp/telco's have a Business Saves team which are responsible for convincing potential leavers to stay. They usually have more authority to provide compensation/escalations. To get transferred through to them however requires you to trigger some keywords/questions to validate your intention to move.

Pretty sure the G6E T has the same engine and gearbox, but no LSD and softer suspension?

2300kg is an impressive tow weight, compared to 1600 for most commodores unless you get a wagon and calais

Pretty much yeah just the diff.

I THINK even the suspension is the same. 

The 6 speed auto is a great gearbox, and as you said has good towing weight. 

Don't forget they all use 5x114.3 too so you can wack on some spare JDM wheels yo. if you ever need/want to. 

How much you looking to spend? I'll keep my eye on the club fg group..

Chasing a Mk2 for ~$25-28... Specd up interior is a requirement now that I've looked into the differences you mentioned.

I'm alright with some mild mods as long as they're subtle and it comes with a RWC.

[emts]

jumped in the old mans FG II XR6 ute tonight.

yeah it a big step back from a G6E  no piano inserts very cheap plastics.

plus seems to have higher seating than my BA which was weird

Yeh that'll get you a nice mark2, the touch screen is a nice touch, they have the projector style head lights too.

Must get leather though, as all the door trims etc look wayyy better. 

Mark2 look alright in white, those are stock wheels too

Stomach is last place a male will lose weight from

[Leroy Peterson]

Do falcons without upgraded sound system still have room to install an aftermarket sub? Plenty of gear to fit falcons floating around. Im sure itd be cheaper than factory options, probably no difference if secondhand.

[Leroy Peterson]

Got done speeding in the domain tunnel when it was at 60km/h. Cameras adjust with speed, eh? well there ya go. Gonna try for the good behavior letter and hope it lets me off. Haven't had an offense in around 3 years I think.

You broke the speed limit, why do you think you should get off

one of my employees got done for a high level drink driving offence in sydney on new years, plead guilty and lost his license for 12 months.
believing it only affects sydney, continued driving and got picked up in a set up, then got caught again the next day.
hes still driving... and reckons 12 months is too harsh.
well, wait till court day mate... i reckon hes gonna cop an extra year for the two unlicensed driving offenses as well.

I think the standard sound system doesn't have tweeter or sub grills in the pillars / parcel shelf, and also no amp. 

Mines premium has the 2 front 2 back, sub in parcel shelf, amp, and 2 tweeters up front. I'm sure you could fit your own stuff but imo the premium sound is fine if you find the right car. Took me a while to find a GS fully optioned already at a showroom in black, finally found one and bought it 

Cannot stress enough how bad the cloth interior vs leather looks though. 

Simon, try find a cheap GS 5.0l?  nothing good on carsales at the moment though

standard system sucks massivly, I've repalced them all with 6inch co axials in front and 6x9 at rear, much improved (not much space for a sub in the cabin...)

 

also added the aux connection as the radio in the BA has shocking reception, thus the external antenna in the FG
