  1. Claim ASAP. The longer you leave it, the more of an opportunity they have to try and shaft you.
  2. Where are you getting your info from? The redline is set at a specific point, for a reason
  3. Mate you need to get with the times- there's a reason why cars like the Falcon are staring down being extinct... it's because of economical FWD cars like Camry's and Accords are selling more. Why? Well you'd have to be the biggest bogan in the world that is in denial to not figure that one out.
  4. Just saves us the hassle of ruining it ourselves haha
  5. Would love to see someone do a photoshop to lower it a bit!
  6. White FG Mk2 lux pack 19's
  7. Anyone checked them out yet? This shape will come to Aus won't it?? With a tuned ecoBoost engine and 4WD it makes a cool alternative to a RWD 4.0L
  8. I have used torque for a while but could never suss out the display for the trans temp and assumed it couldn't be monitored?
  9. I have been having issues with my bluetooth randomly dropping out and the contact list on my phone not being copied over. Did you have any issues with that at all??
  10. Still on the stock exhaust??
  11. Thanks for the reply mate, I have seen the fronts only- was kinda hoping for a pic with front and rears on together! What was the quality of these like?? More importantly- the quality of the adhesive that is used to put them on!
  12. Hey guys and gals, I spotted some aftermarket slim line weather shields on ebay for FG's- which until now I hadn't seen with the rears included. I just wanted to see if anyone has fitted these to their cars yet, and if they did- could you post a pic?? Cheers http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FG-FALCON-SEDAN-G6-G6E-XT-XR8-XR-WEATHER-SHIELD-WEATHERSHIELD-DOOR-WINDOW-/290841188170?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43b77c574a
  13. They need to replace half the clowns that work at Ford while they're at it. No wonder they're going down town.
  14. Okay, well tonight she let go good and proper.... drivers foot well filled with coolant. I rely on my car for work- worst timing ever. :butcher:
  15. Had a squirt with an F10 M5 tonight.... lost by half a car length up to 120kph... surprised! He did have his family in it though... wife n kids lol
  16. Yeah it's been doing it on on recirc and fresh, for about 2 weeks now. Even with low fan speed or fans off. I hope you didn't take what I said about my local Ford dealer personally- have just had some far from positive experiences with them in the past.
  17. It hasn't lost a single drop of coolant. I have very little faith in Ford's methods of diagnosing problems and levels of honesty, which is why I thought of discussing it on here first. It has now been 2 weeks since the problem started, and it's still there. It stinks. The only was of not smelling the coolant smell, is by shutting all the vents off.
  18. Hey guys, As per my sig I'm now in an FG MK2 G6ET, which I picked up about 3 months ago brand new. Since day dot the aircon hadn't worked. I raised this with Fraud at the 3k service and they pressure tested the system which lead them to find a leaking O-ring (or so they tell me) which they replaced and re-gassed the system. All good. About 5 days after the service we had a couple of hot days in a row. I used the aircon both days which was nice and cold. A lot colder than my previous G6ET 50th Anniversary. The next day, that's when I started smelling coolant from the vents, even without the aircon or even any fans on. I called Fraud to report the issue, and they said they would need the car for 3 days to pull the dash out, as it's most likely that they need to replace the heater core as I suspected. I asked the service guy if the pressure test that they did at the service was done at a too high PSI which has caused the heater core to fail. He strongly denied this. I'm basically wondering if there's anyone else out there who have had their heater cores fail, especially at such low km. Cheers, CLuTZ
  19. What is traction like with 407kw?

    Stock tyres?

    Much like what the others have said- don't do a burnout! Stall it up a bit and use manual mode shifting around the 5200rpm mark. Sometimes you can get the trans to really smack it into 2nd which I think is the difference between a low/flt 13 and a high 12. Removing the spare wheel and dropping tyre pressure is a good idea too.
  22. Is it brand spanking new? You might need a software update. My car's aircon, alarm and ICC settings were playing up when I picked my MK2 up- all remedied at the 3k "service" though.
  23. Can you tether an ipod off an iphone instead?
