  1. Lovin that 240..... among other things haha
  2. Main issues with escapes we're seeing these days, front wheel bearings are common failures, which isnt major, but lately Mazda with the escapes sister the Tribute and the escape are starting to get a few transmission failures, that gets ugly, and expensive....
  3. hope your not considering ultratune..... especially if your already disapointed with the dealer service
  4. Too many ego FGs around already.... my poor BF is feeling insecure
  5. A friend of mine is fitting his terry turbo with gas as we speak, and then driving it around OZ for 3 months, ill let you know how it goes in a week or so if you like
  6. I thought it was david richards who owned prodrive?
  7. F6 381 I know what you mean, I see these cars every day at work, the more I see the more I want, especially the G6eT. awesome looking machine, gotta be one of the best looking sedans on the market for sure, especially with the optional 19's
  8. A couple things I feel the need to add.... firstly why is it that when a new falcon comes people expect it to be near perfect regardless of price, falcons never have been and never will be near the like of Toyota or euros for build quality, I work as a mech at a ford dealer and have seen the same problems model after model after model.... silly things like leaking water pump o-rings were problems for years and years model after model, I saw a cheap and easy fix for this even when I was an apprentice, it wasnt till later production BA that this was fixed, completely coincidently excactly the way I suggested when I was an apprentice.....but for all their faults, theyre a decent car, and we all keep buying them..... and on a lighter note, in regards to the "seduce" color.... I think its a decent color but anyone concidering it should have a close look at one in person, the color match between metal and plastic panels is terrible
  9. You wouldnt happen to know which injectors he wont use???
  10. nice.... Ill be getting some injectors in the near future, then I'll be paying Chris a visit at Bluepower....
  11. Took one for a spin at work a couple days ago, very impressive, set of rear tyres for every tank of juice me thinks But I can already see diff bushes being a problem for sure
  12. gotta do the bush on my car already too, only done 25000km..... lucky its still under warranty,... so ill get paid to fix it.... there are SOME benefits of being a dealer mechanic, however few
  13. another injector group buy... i just missed the last one.... bugger
  14. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction mate, much appreciated
  15. Guessing by the part number you got SSL's front and rear, and it looks pretty level in the picture, I thought most people were fitting SL's front and SSL's rear for a level look? or is it different with BF mk2???
  16. wheres meadowbank? Ive dont more airmix shafts and HIM's than I can remember and Id be glad to offer my services....
  17. I had a S4 Rx7 turbo a few years back, with minor work it flew but I reckon it drank twice as much juice as my XR
  18. Went from a Kh TX3 4wd turbo, to an RX7 turbo, to an Au3 XR8 ute, to the BF Turbo sedan
  19. Im not sure how well they stack up but ive got a redback cat back, twin 2.5 on mine, with the rear muffler replaced with a pair of small hotdogs, I think, along with alot of other people, that it sounds really good, has a little bit of a tough lumpyness too it.....
  20. How can the manual have all 3 modes when you need them?.... 2 of the 3 modes are fully automatic
  21. A monkey could replace an ICC.... hate to see the blokes working there....
  22. As a current Tech at a dealer, I reckon is usually more than one or two, sometimes its the whole department haha
  23. haha,... dont think it was nessesary.... plus I bet there are more threads on rubbish ford mechanics than rubbish ford salesmen,.... so I have to behave myself
  24. spot on.... I take very few people seriously, including myself
