G'day, new to this place. Love F100s (faves are '74 - '79). Currently restoring this '77 XLT swb. Live in Sydney. Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys, and perhaps trade some bits and pieces with other F100 owners. Also a member of the US based For Truck Enthusiasts forum. Ciao.

man

dont know my models

but I paid 28k for a 1 yo ex demo mid range eco lpi (gas) w/ 7k on the clock heaps b4 last xmas

should be way cheaper now

think of all the extra stuff u get

zf 6 speed - factory lpi & extra compression etc

retrofit turbo it later (& cant see why thats hard - they do it now on same engine in petrol) when warranty dies

dude - it beats a petrol unit & costs same in fuel as a corolla

engines love gas

all u need to to do is drive them

Hi All,

Just joined today, and thought I'd say G'day!

I've got a 2006 F6 Typhoon, Toxic Green. Got most of the factory options like the leather, sat nav, 19's, etc...

Basics done to it, intake, turbo-back exhaust, bigger throttle body, injectors, fuel pump. Puts out 431rwhp.

So yeah... hello!

hi everyone
my name is ron and I drive an el falcon with just over 300,000 on clock.
it is duel fuel and it has been a great car for me.
I am retired and into caravanning and the old ford has served me well in this respect.
I live on the south coast of nsw in a little village called Myola.

Hi Everyone,

My Name is Shaun and I have recently purchased an AUII V8 ute and wanted to keep in touch with other like minded drivers as I am not real familiar with Late model Fords.
I have owned a older Ford before, A '78 Cortina with a 4.1l crossflow in it.

I look forward to reading more about your cars and projects.

Cheers.

Gday all, been reading for a few years and have joined the forum. Have the one eyed Ford stamp on my forehead. Bought the Au2 XR8 in Jan last year with 65000klms on it. Nice old car from Sunshine Coast,Qld for an oldie like me. Had to do the Mufflers, now single 3" and brakes, now DBA discs and recently a SS CAI. Next will be a tune and a helmet for the occasional run at Willowbank. Have enjoyed reading many of the threads.

Hey there folks,
newbie to the thread, so much to read thru!!

totally new to a car forum and already made my first mistake by putting this in the community section first!
I'll apologise now if i re hash any old questions but i'll search before asking!

Looking forward chatting, catching up with people where possible & building some knowledge and understanding to make a few decisions on my car and mods to it over the next 12months

cheers

G'day fellow ford enthusiasts.

I live in the Rivera and currently own a Dec 2002 Ba 5.4 3V 5 speed manual cab chassis.
I've gleaned a lot of good info from the various forums, and I've noticed that there is a great keenness from the knowledgeable members to pass on their wealth of knowledge freely and willingly.
