Ford AU Falcon front-end conversions

That's awesome but must be on LPG and being a wagon would add to it's glory. Just imagine the roofline extending to the top of that spoiler and then a massive wing above that.

Wash your mouth out, that F40 rear end is ruining the gorgeous AU lines.

Point shouldn't need to be made that the engineering in an AU is massively better than that in an F40, but there it is.  So too the build quality.  Still, pointing out the obvious may help someone out.

its pretty obvious, the paint on the F40 was so thin that you could see the carbon fibre weave.... They didnt even paint the car properly.

On top of that instead of making the car out of good strong steel, they used fibre cloth and glue..... who does that?

And to access the engine, you dont just pull a lever and it opens like a well engineered AU, you need to unlock two latches, get a mate to help you lift it and then use a flimsy rod to keep it open, no gas struts!

Then they were so lazy developing the engine that it needs a service every 5000kms! and its only a 2.9l not a nice 4l straight six or a  5l windsor V8...  its so small and inferior!

 I have no idea why the F40 costs so much when an AU is obviously the superior machine

Well in an even further apart comparison, there is an AU conversion available for Stageas too

The drag coefficient would be heaps better now that it doesn’t have a boxy front end

more seriously though, if anyone can explain to me why one of these cars is the ugliest car ever designed, and the other is a 6 figure uber desirable one, I'd love to hear it.

Snobbery.

By the way they made more AU's than any other model.

As for the AU, I see your AU and raise my VX

Australian and American build quality, engineering and design at its, ummmm, best?

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
