personally, I'd be waiting.. no doubt there will be some great run out prices once the new model is introduced!

fark, that sucks...

if you know that you want to do all those mods, do it all in one step. Obviously it means you'll have to wait longer, but at least you won't need to spend extra money for each tune... on the other hand, if you'll be happy with edit/injectors for a while, then do that. Then 6-12months down the track do the rest. If you think it'll only be a matter of a month or so between changes, I'd be saving up and getting it all done at once. I wish I had done it this way, saves some hassles.

looks awesome mate, especially with the colour of your car. Good idea

as a few have said, I'd be holding on till I saw orion.. if you don't like it, then I'm sure you'll get some great run out prices on the BF F6s

cheers mate

yeah mate, I've heard that can be the case. It's something I'll look into for my next car... mind you, that might still be a year or so away.. but I'm just trying to gauge all my options. The more I know, the better my decision will be.

thanks guys, I really don't think a lease will have much advantage for me.. and I'm not sure I like the sound of a residual at the end.. at least if I borrow, when it's paid off the money left will actually come off the price of the new car. I completely forgot about the whole residual side of things..

Hey guys, I'm considering a lease type option on my next car, as I've heard it can save a few bucks in tax, and various other good pointers... what I was wondering though, how much do you guys pay per month, and what was the purchase price of the car? I'll be buying either another XR6T, VE SS, or GT, depending on price and deals. Hopefully I'll get away with spending between 40-55k. Also, does the monthly cost include fuel, tyres, services, rego and insurance etc?? I'm basically trying to do the sums and see if it really will benefit me or not. At the moment, I pay $1050 per month (not lease) but that was because I added extra to the loan when I got the car.. so the total loan was a tad over 50k... based on that, if the lease cost is around $1000 per month and includes all of what I mentioned above, I think it may be a good option. What do you guys think? and for those that lease, does it work for you? Cheers guys, Jimmy.

yep, I agree mate.. I too have thought about getting another tune, just to see how it drives, and how different it might be. There's probably a couple of shops around canberra worth giving a shot now, but it'll be good to see a few more runs on the board.

I haven't noticed the "flash" from the camera at the fyshwick lights.. usually it'll flash at every red light (unless these are different). But so far, I haven't noticed any flashes, but who knows..

that's the thing I love about the current motor though, it doesn't have to rev to 8000rpm.. 5500rpm and it's up and really going, while the other V6s are still trying to reach peak power.. I dunno, time will tell.

Bugger I travel that road to work everyday. I'm bound to forget myself one day

I guess that means I'll be keeping this car longer.. or trading for the orion model.. or HSV. I wonder if the price of a falcon will come down after 2010? with so many more engines being produced, one would think it would be cheaper for ford australia, particularly when it comes to R&D.

congrats mate

I reckon it's 340hp... which equals around 253rwkw 340rwkw

follow this link mate, it has some pics.. I think he looks great when colour coded! I'm even considering selling my car now, and saving up for 3 years to buy one outright

sorry to hear Brian, what a shame .. glad that everyone is ok, and at least not all was lost with the parts!! Best of luck with whatever the new project may involve

here's an in car clip, I have centre muffler removed, hi flow cat and hotdogs in place. here's an outside of car clip it sounds better in real life though..

I was once told by a mate who was doing police studies/law studies or something along those lines, that the reason they only get you from behind is to avoid the possibility of someone being "stunned" or having their vision impaired by the front on flash.. If someone got flashed and their vision was impaired slightly and they had an accident, I wonder where they'd stand

The more I watch soccer, the more I want something to be done about fakers/divers/time wasters!! Seriously, in a non contact sport... how the f*ck did the oman team need 5 or 6 players taken off by stretcher!! It's rubbish. The amount of time they took a dive, or faked injury to stop Australia's momentum was bullsh*t. I think it's about time that soccer looked at it more seriously, perhaps with an after match review committee.. blatant diving, time wasting or faking injury should be dealt a yellow card for the next game. Anyways, that's my rant... I suppose Australia got out of it at the end.. but still, it took till injury time to equalize!!

I had a 4WD sitting in the right lane last night on the way home from work, doing 60-65km/h in an 80 zone... needless to say I did flash them, and they still didn't move.. they did however speed up and even once they got past the cars in the left, they still didn't move over!! so I was forced to over take in the left hand lane

if you honestly feel that you didn't see the signage due to poor light, or bad placement, I'd raise the issue and see if it helps.. on the other hand, if you knew you were parking illegally, I'd just cop it.. it can't hurt to ask!

all good in theory, to have a tune to go back to if it rains.. but trust me, when it does rain, I doubt you'd be f*cked sitting there 5mins changing the tune (perhaps I'm ultimate lazy though ), just because the road is wet. They're fine in the wet, provided you don't floor it. It's just a matter of altering your driving slightly...

cai, injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, tune and hi flow cat should see a comfy 300rwkw, perhaps more
