Awaiting Ford Focus RS arrival. Drift mode looks fun and they staunched the 2.3L up from the muzzie also!

Would be nice, Reckon it will be very expensive with the dollar

FA20 looks good so far. Now they need to make a FA25 :P.

Glad to see I'm not the only person thinking this. Although the twin scroll turbo on the fa20 makes the low down torque quite good even compared to my ej25

Edit: fa20 also needs unequal length headers. Sounds wrong otherwise

They defiantly look the business, there's a shit load of them on the gold coast already. nearly rivalled the amount of 86's I saw today. I would have to have a v8 though, no 4 banger is going to do the mustang justice, maybe should have offered a turbo 6 option instead of the 4. I reckon for the price it would want to have a decent amount of build quality behind it.

A turbo 6 would be way faster than the 8 though. Look at the XR6 turbo, turn the boost up and you're already way quicker than an XR8

In regard to the price vs build quality.

The Mustang in Australia is just like European beer, you go to Europe and that shit is bottom shelf garbage, you export it to Australia it becomes a "Premium Import" top shelf pricing for the same shit.

I would definitely own one in the US as the price is great for what you get.

You don't buy an OLD Mustang for build quality. It's 2016, this car has the fit and finish of a car 10 years ago. Not good enough. It's definitely got cool factor but not enough for me.

Has build quality changed at all in the last 10 years? Genuinely did not have that impression, but I haven't owned anything close to that new lol.

My impression is that USA build quality is similar to Falcodores (or worse).

Aren't they getting fairly reliable and well featured and reasonably nice nowadays? My impression was that USA were generally a bit behind with suspension etc, and they're all autos, but otherwise similar.

i have driven a couple of rental Mustangs and Camaros in the states and found them fairly similar to Australian built cars. Don't have that Jap attention to detail or classy Euro interiors, but really robust, felt well built and seemed to handle all the rental abuse without falling apart

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
