Does anyone remember that when Ford Australia moved away from their X naming
convention (XY, XA, XD etc.) for Falcons they made it pretty clear that the
new names were an international Ford standard. The first Falcon to come
under this standard was the EA, but the full name of the EA was actually
EA26, where E indicated the body size (very large), A indicated that it was
designed/made in Australia and 26 was just a sequential number assigned to
the model.

How is it then that subsequent models have been given names such as EB, EL
and FG? Have they thrown away the 'international' naming standard?

Looks like the F6 is a seriously quick car but then again stick a large 6
with a turbo on it of course its going to be quick. :-)

Pity they don't have a wagon version of it (not including the territory
turbo). Oh well I stick to a HSV wagon instead. :-p.

Has a sort of WRX sound to it but a missfiring WRX though.
:-)

Has anyone else noticed the Suzuki car ads in the newspaper claiming
driveaway prices and then you read the fine print at the bottom and it says
"plus $2200 dealer delivery"
I don't know where they went to school but that is not a drive away price
and either the ACCC is asleep at the wheel or no one has told them.
I plan to remedy that one on Monday.
How do the car makers continually get away with anything and if I was to
advertise a price that was in anyway not true they would be on me like a ton
of bricks.

Gday All,

Due to my 'old' server vaporising (by the looks of it) I can't find the
old posts I'm looking for. Anyway, there was some discussion about what
are good and not so good brands of LPG systems out there.

I do recall that two were considered better than the rest - which were
these again?

If it makes a difference, I wanna put a 75 series Cruiser ute on gas, so
any systems particularly well set up for these is what I'm really
interested in.

Thanks.

Initially the Saudis said last week, that they were going to produce more
oil,..then on Bush's visit, this week, they said no.
It costs the Arabs $1.50 to fill a barrel, which then costs $128 delivered
from the tanker!?. Not a bad little earner. Just how much money do the young
saudi princes need to fund their lifestyle?

Hi,

Can anyone help? Having nightmares with my 1966 Mustang brakes. I
bought a ford XF(?) disc brake conversion package (Falcon stubs,
Gerlock Calipers etc) which was supposedly a straight switch out.....
Not. Firstly, the camber pins recommended can't be fitted as the
chassis rails on the 66s dont have the necessary space and boxing to
fit and work. The lower control arm bolt holes need to be slotted for
adjustment and then welded after. Secondly, after much dikking around
we've managed to work out the original drag link is now too short and
needs to be reworked to get the geometry right again. Apparently it can
be cut and welded or sleeved and pinned (the better of the two options
I'm told). Anyway, has anyone heard of this problem and does anyone
know of any easier solution?

Kinda wishing I'd gone for the pricier option(s). But hey! We live and
learn.

Cheers
