  1. Would love to meet up with some of the guys here on the next cruise. Can't wait
  2. Nice, look horn
  3. I was going to ask about 18's over 6pot 355's for BF's but instead can we start listing the wheels that DO fit? I'm looking for 18's for my new ute. I'm thinking the options are limited. Wanting a machined multi spoke like a BBS or a Enkei PF01s. Willing to go for a smaller width on the front to rear
  4. Cheers, that was exactly what I was after
  5. Hey all, writing to you all from a bus right now. FML & this thing has even less pussy magnet than the 323 I'm getting about in. Tow packs on the ute, what's the difference? standard is 1600kg brake load, but theres a 2600kg option. What's included in that? The other thing is what do I look for? I take it maybe bigger left springs & a trans cooler? Not sure the auto ZF6 had a standard cooler option Cheers
  6. Hey mate. nothing more than about $25k at this stage, but available funds would allow me to move within that a fair bit. got a link for me? Whats the FG got over a BF say in your opinion?
  7. Hey all. joined up recently as I'm looking for a new car. History is I brought a late EL with 66k on it at the start of 2006. I did little things & as all p platers do, I got in shutup & held on. I am a member at fordmods where I picked up a lot of advice & learnt lots about fords & cars in general. The next two years the car didn't get driven heaps as I was at uni. Again, I learnt things & kept doing lots of work on the car myself. Time goes on & as happens a car gets worn out. I've slept in it on many an occasion, its taken me to places & speeds I thought I'd never see nor should at times be. Also that it has made me really enjoy getting in it every day & going places (even to work) I've driven other cars but there's something that they miss that the falcon I have gives me. Go figure. So right now I have an intermittent starting fault where the engine will crank yet not fire. I can't fault it & its getting worse. It's basically time to move it on. In the mean time I'm driving about in a faded sky blue 1989 mazda 323 EFI. Yeah, EFI gave that particular model more power!!! (yes I know I'm posting this thread on fxr6t.com) What it boils down to is the fact that the pussy magnet in both these cars are not working as maybe they once had and my minds been made up I'll get a f6 ute of some sort. I'm not really after a BA. More a BF or probably a BF2. (iirc the xr6t bf2 ran the f6 block with a different tune & turbo ratio or something for cost saving???) But what would an FG give me engine wise that I wouldn't get out of an BF? One appeal to me is the dual phase cams on the BF+ that the BA didn't get. I'd be looking for an edit at some point earlier to get a bit more torque on the low end. Other than that, the FG will cost more as it will have fewer K's & be a generally newer car. Cheers & all thoughts appreciated. Dave
