If you still have them in a couple months once I finish my build I'll have a serious think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold on the electric handbrake, or the keyless starting, it makes flashing it a carnt coz the ignition times out, but that's the tuners problem haha... Also they are a lot harder and more expensive to make power... I'll take a BF over an FG or VE/VF any day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,920 Member For: 16y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 07/12/14 10:49 AM Share Posted 07/12/14 10:49 AM (edited) "Ford Australia had only a limited budget of $102 million to spend on the new Falcon FG X"(2012) "General Motors Holden ... committed to investing more than $1 billion in local manufacturing to secure its Victorian and South Australian-based operations until at least 2022 following a $275 million government injection.The government subsidies - $225 million from the federal government and $50 million from the South Australian government – will be matched by at least $1 billion from Holden’s US-based parent company, General Motors"(2013) "... the GFC struck and GM filed for bankruptcy just two years into the VE’s life. Plans were scrapped and the VF budget slashed. By the time Expensive Daewoo started work on it two years later than planned in 2009, the VF program approved by GM included little more than new bumpers.It’s a measure of the dedication and persistence of those within Expensive Daewoo that more money was obtained to create new front and (for the sedan) rear sheetmetal, a full interior redesign and the adoption of GM’s latest electronics and infotainment hardware, as well as chassis development work across the range. Much-discussed government funding helped pay for weight reductions and aerodynamic measures that have improved efficiency.Expensive Daewoo still won’t say exactly how much it spent on the VF but admits it was considerably less than the VE’s budget. What’s certain is that everyone at Fishermans Bend eked every cent they could from what was on the table."With these facts in mind, you'd assume that a car with more than 10x the amount spent on it then you'd expect it to be better.

genuine honest person Member 2,769 Member For: 10y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: near brisbane Posted 07/12/14 11:01 AM Share Posted 07/12/14 11:01 AM Cheers Arron, I'll take you up on that.To an extent Jet, yes, but a large majority of the issues I've had with both falcons wasn't my own doing. Running a manual and you have to do something with the bushes...but doing so creates more noise, which is stupid for a performance car made in 2014.Would like an R8, but not convinced I want to spend an extra $10k over the Redline. Might be worth asking my mate to check up on fleet pricing for one of those too...just out of curiosity...Rspec wheels were supposed to be colour matched to the dark argent inserts in my factory GT wheels...but each set is different, so you might find them a bit light or a bit dark for your set. They cost me $2,000 you can have the rims by themselves for $1,000 or with tyres as well for $1,500 if you want peppy?that is nice of you to offer him these wheels for that price ,very generous of you . but the small problems you have had with the car ,is it really worth selling it for ? you would waste a lot of money just to up grade to a commodore .you would also find that they have some problems as well ,all cars have that get driven hard . most people would be envies over your car ,there is nothing wrong with it just some small hiccups that are easily fixed (I am no mechanic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
