Welcome mate.

I can tell you one thing that I notice when changing cars from a F'mont Ghia into a T, and many other cars, you REALLY miss the premium interior of the Ghia.

So leather is a must, premium sound and the luxo pack really does the trick.

If you don't see yourself purchasing aftermarket rims, then make sure you get the 18 inch wheel package.

If you do decide to go aftermarket, then see JB about where he got his 19's from. Awesome looking wheel. You would probably want to get the car lowered a little though, only about an inch or 2, with the 19's.

I'd pick up the car like that and then ask around on the forums for someone to do a fitup of the PBR brakes (they really should be standard, you will definately be happy that you got them).

Then save up, purchase the edit with a tune, maybe purchase that line pressure mod (the switchable one) for the gearbox and that would do you.

I guarantee that you will be a very happy man. This should cost you less than 53 grand including on-roads, edit, luxo pack, 18's or 19's and brakes.

All things considered, that is an absolute bargain. Absolute bargain mate.

It will pull a 13 flat (beating every stock and slightly modded HSV on the road, especially with injectors and an intercooler if you wanted more grunt), it is comfortable enough that you could live out of it, placid enough to take long trips in, has a 5 star crash rating, is safe enough for the misses to take the kids to school in AND in normal driving conditions, will give great fuel economy. Especially for a large 1800kg lump of metal...

I can tell you that I'd be happy with that. Hmmm... Would anyone like to donate me 50 something grand? Please?

Meh..

[dal_dhillon]

The MKI came out on Sept 2002 and when until Sept 2004. There not much diffrents with them both. They still have 240KW the diffrents are new 17-inch alloys, Alloy pedal Covers Like the FVP ones but they have FORD on it. New Cup holders with out the cover, New colours, Auto Headlaps on/off umm that's all I can think of at the moment If I have miss out any thing I am sure the other boys and girls will add on!!!

Oh has Ford stopped giving the free onroads and free leather now? Meh, I remember the adds on TV, but I haven't watched much TV of late...

Well it might cost you closer to 56 grand for all that then...

Still a bargain.....

[cikas]

Onroads and leather where only free for the XR6's and XR8... It didnt include the "T".. I guess we are buying to many "T"'s And im pretty sure its still going on over here in W.A
