Hi everybody, newbie here. Down in Tassie, hoping to get a turbo 6 ute sometime soon so I though I would join up and start studying some info on them. currently driving a Verada whilst im saving up, I am on the FPV and XR owners club of Tasmanias page on Facebook as well.
Cheers

Hi, I'm a new member from Canberra. I've been a fan of the falcon my whole life and have owned an XE sedan, XB wagon, XD ute, XF ute, EF sedan, EL XR8 sedan and now a BF fairmont ghia. I'm looking to recreate a bit of my youth and am trying to track down a matching number XD V8 ute in Canberra (or surrounding area). The budget is pretty flexible for the right ute. Anyone got anything for sale?

Thanks nuthin fancy, I have see that one and I reckon it is good value but I really don't like the LTD front end. I think the standard grill looks heaps better.

My first ford was a 1940 club convertible followed by a 1951 twin spinner numerous falcons and a Cortina GT shoved in there somewhere. No car at the moment as Im enjoying my other love, motorcycles current ride is a 2013 FJR which I use every day,for comuting and pleasure.

yetti79 · 30-01-2015, 08:11 PM

Hello all
Always been a car fan but have had mainly had Fords. Current one XW GT replica been enjoying last couple of months but now engine needs rings so thought tidy up of the rest while I'm at it so on here for info and ideas. Good site with lots of tech articles which I like as a big fan of DIY. Thanks in advance for any help

KingDom · 30-01-2015, 08:43 PM

Hi all. Noticed some posts on this forum being useful in my adventures of auto works. Others just full of keyboard commandos. I got 2 fords now. One late model and one classic. Hope I can be of service to any questions if I know the answer.

SUN SHINE · 02-02-2015, 09:04 AM

Hello all
No Ford (yet) for me. I'm considering a 2010 Ford Ranger 4x4 to do some off-road treks and camping. I registered in the hope that I could learn about the Ranger from forum members.
Thanks.

nikG6E · 02-02-2015, 10:01 AM

Hello Ford lovers !!

I am now a proud and satisfied owner of a G6E , love the smooth ride and comfort . Surprisingly good economy too. The only mods so far are I downgraded the wheels size from 18" to 17" .. could not find my choice of rubber but ,better it next time !!

Cheers
Nik

Hi to old and welcom to new member i m muhammad i m a car lover and this forum is great help thanks

nikG6E · 02-02-2015, 12:09 PM

and now I'm wondering if my aircon needs a re-gas or is just not that great (seems to be the case), and I definitely feel and hear the bumps in the road, which I'm hoping is just some stiff suspension in the back from towing.

Hey ...I just bought my G6E last week too and its quite smooth ..I choose some 17" wheels and higher profile tyres to tackle the bumps better , but I'm guessing with the 2009 model they come standard with 17" wheels. The air-con is very good so maybe yours might need regas.

fordfalcon04 · 02-02-2015, 05:24 PM

HIPO · 03-02-2015, 10:55 AM

Hi all, have been a Ford fan for most of my life, but got out of V8's for about 15 yrs.
Anyway, a few months back I picked up a 63 Fairlane Sport Coupe that I just couldn't say no too.
She's a 289 HIPO with a T10 close ratio 4 speed & 9inch with 3.89 gears.
Its a rare K-code of which there's only 76 accounted for in the U.S.

Cheers, Al.

hey dude...the BA has a +36 offset..+37 will stick (tiny bit) towards the brakes

not sure if that helps

Rowdy Fitment · 03-02-2015, 12:06 PM

Recently joined up. Not really a Ford fan, more off a car enthusiast in general but there are plenty of Fords I like and after driving a 4x4 for a few years I'm looking at buying something a little bit more fun again, so hopefully in a couple of months time will buy a BA-BF XR8 Ute.

z3149441 · 03-02-2015, 07:27 PM

Hi Ford Forum members, Learnt to drive in an Anglia way back when, so still have fond memories driving around the block in that, good times! Now have a Territory as the daily driver and its just an awesome car, does everything and more!

Geez Louise · 03-02-2015, 08:02 PM

Hi All,
My name's Fred. Nothing exciting like some of you blokes - Just a plain jane AU3 wagon workhorse with 488k on the clock which still runs like a dream. Thought I'd join up as I enjoy reading the posts and lots of good information and tips too. Thanks.
