Weighs almost the same as a Falcon and costs 3 times as much, probably why it can defy physics ☺Lol I knew the r35 would come up, its probably the only car that weighs that much that does. Hardly a fair comparison but its stock brakes, suspension and wheel combo is much better than the coons obviosuly. Id say its the wider wheel track and awd that makes it as good as it is though. They are so wide, barley fits in some lanes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed your build back in the day and was keen to try it but was reluctant to spend money on the car for fear I would sell it out of frustration.Swaybars settings, good Tyres, and driving technique (this was the major one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's a squeaky passenger seat. Clutch/exhaust rattle on cold start up on cold days, still no answers to. (Clutch master cyl issue sounds pretty scary ending up with no clutch).Power Steering pulley/bearing is just a little noisy now. Not sure it's bad enough for Ford to do anything about it.So far, no other complaints. No overly stoked with the car now it has 40,000km on it but could be worse.

I'm worried that something is f*cked. If it makes any difference, car just had it's 15k service. Can't confirm whether the oil was present in the time I got the car back or if it was there for a while. Assuming the latter, you'd think they would have noticed it when they had the car??

But now I'm worried that might be what's caused the problem as that was only mentioned to me recently. I guess I'll keep an eye on it and if the oil comes back I'll get Ford to look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
