>>14823908
I would only buy a VF wagon if they give the option to have a manual in it.

raised the front suspension on the valiant

shit its fucking tall up the front and slightly low on the rear now, but thats factory specs. Its been raised by 2 inches. With torsion bars, if ou go higher, should the suspension be softer or stiffer? because its feeling alot boaty than before

>>14823915
Only sedans & utes you can get in manual. The wagons you can't.

Went to check on Carsales and found this,

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Falcon-2004/SSE-AD-3574083/?Cr=0

Aight senpai I need a new car as I'm sick of commuting on my CBR. Sort of got my heart set on a golf GTI but want one in manual with a sunroof (which is apparently kinda fucking hard to find) there are a few sketchy ones on carsales but being that it's a VW I kind of want to make sure it's not going to grenade on me after a month or two.

What other cars should I be looking at? Current runner up is a focus xr5t but I just hate the way they look (also finding one with a sunroof is kind of hard too).

>inb4 sunroof is for grils

>>14828141
Mate ive owned 2 now they are unreliable shitbombs do you want me to max out 1000 characters writing about their problems or?

Granted most of the problems where to do with the AU1 being a bucket of shit

Big points against the AU2/3 at the moment

>High Milage most of them are 200-300k+
>Worst Brakes ive seen on a production car
>Front Calipers love to stick on and eventually jam, shit design love to overheat and warp rotors
>Shit pedal feel and takes 3/4 or more to actually stop
>SHIT master cylinder design loves to leak and break
>Despite been only 1400-1600kilos it absolutely hates to stop
>ABS known for shitting itself
>Rear Caliper design is OK but the handbrake is abysmally bad does not stop the car or makes a horrible grinding sound and feels like the rear wheels are going to fall off
>Horrible suspension, it can take a beating but the stock rear live axle feels worse than my jeeps
I could just go on and on and on i had neverending problems with my first one and now the 2nd is starting to show issues but mainly to do with the brakes only thank fuck

TLDR: STAY THE FUCK AWAY
its a horrible turd and you cant even get parts for it anymore stick with the BA BF FG if you want a cheap skid pig because the AU2 has no power whatsoever

>>14828169
>wantng a hole in your roof that leaks forever

Ah true.

Apart from the horrid interior are VE-VY basically the same as a vx?

>>14828722

>>14828607
See >>14828747

>>14828789
if you must get a 3800 at least slap the supercharger on it n/a its a dog slowest car ive ever driven

>>14828782
VT-VX are the exact same with a bumper change and maybe a little bit on the interior

VY-VZ changes styling again by a bit, different tail lights, headlights etc. VZ was the first series to introduce the new Alloytec motor that's in the VE-VF 6's

VE was a body style change, changed pretty much everything and kept the alloytec motor but kept the 4 speed auto in the omegas and 6 speed autos in the sv6's and calais etc.

I'm pretty sure the VZ's didn't have the 6 speed auto unless they were the 2006-7 ones just before they ended production on the VZ

>>14828789
I don't get it.

>>14828822

Is the VF2 a new chassis or still the same?

>>14828828
I'd say they're the exact same but the lower part of the bumper where the fog lights go looks different. Theres a hole in the sides of it to cool down the brakes I bet, also looks like they added shit to the hood

>>14828854
It looks too cheap though, It probably has more problems than just "too low" so i'd have a mechanic look over it if you were buying it.

>>14828876
Wew and i thought ford was bad for reusing the same chassic since 2001

Anyway did they end up fixing the squat and rear camber caster issues that the VT-VX had?

i see VE's with it it doesnt bother me the cornering grip under power is amazing its just dat tyre wear

>>14828876
My budget is 1500 to 2000, which is why I only posted a link to the VR. but holy shit the Allotec V6 shits on the V8 that came in the VR commies

>>14828912
I'm going to be rude here and say you should get a job and get a better budget. VR commodores are police whores, You will hate being pulled up by police everytime you drive because you own a VR/VS

>>14828891
Ford did good though. BA's were great except for the 5 speeds grenading if you thrashed them and their turbo motors being weak. BF is godtier for price/performance and FGs are fat boats. FG-X's are fugly. The ZF 6 speed is a really strong auto trans and I haven't heard of anyone blowing them up.

I don't think they fixed that squatting shit either, I'm not sure about the rear camber issue i've never had a problem with my VT because I don't bother fixing issues with mine. It hadn't had an oil change since 2012 right, so I went under the car to take the sump plug off and to find out it's rusted on the oil pan and the bolt head is stripped so I can't take it off, So I have a brand new filter and 5L of oil sitting in the shed.

>>14828991
I do have a job, up to 2000 is my budget for a car at the moment, until I sell one of my shitboxes. I had an auto VS for a month or so, only got pulled over once, as I was pulling into my driveway.

>>14828991
Why not just grind off two sides of the bolt so you can get a pair of vice grips or something to undo it?

>>14828991
>no oil change since 2012
Da fug?

>>14828912
Oh and also those buick 5L's are fucking junk, People swap them into old holdens and it triggers me because it would be less of a ruined car if they swapped in a LS based engine or even an Alloytec v6. Alloytec V6's can make great power, same with the 3800 and ecotecs.

Alloytec > Buick 3800 (VN-VR) > Ecotec (VS-VY)

A friend of mine in his "modified" VN v6 (He calls it modified but he put a chip in it or something and it "gave it 15kw" kek) raced a VQ statesmen with the 5L, which are the first statesmens made since the 70s I think, first commodore statesman thing and smoked him in a 1/4 race in the back streets. I still see that POS statesman around, It tries to do skids but it has 0 power and can't do a stand still skid it had to get moving before it would skid.


>>14829019
I would save 5k honestly, Most cars i've dealt with that I've paid 2k for were money pits so I thrashed them and sold them for what I could, I made a profit once off a lemon. You never know though, you could buy a great car for that much. I had a friend of mine buy a VS commodore for $450 and put the Eaton M190 blower on it from the stock supercharged VTs and painted it in his dads shed, put on those VE G8 rims and made it look mint.

>>14829026

That excel survived 3 years of P Plater abuse and 1.5 years of L plater clutch rape, It went out with style that's all I wanted for it. It costed $300 and lasted 5 years of glory, idk of any other thing in my life to cost $300 and last 5 years that I had lots of fun with. I took the exhaust off from the manifold back and drove it around town, fuck that thing was loud, and it did make it feel faster without the exhaust, even at 3k it was unbearable.

I love carbs but they just shouldn't be mixed with turbos. Superchargers are a different story tho

>tfw the XR6T sounds like ass compared to skyline/supra
I'd think with an extra litre+ it would be better but it just lets me down. The throaty 4L + turbo whir should be goat

>>14830261
The average Skyline or Supra also packs an aftermarket fart cannon.

Pop one of those on the Falcunt and it'll be just as beastly.

>>14830245
True enough. You can, I mean Jake Edwards' Torana ran a blow-through setup on at Horsepower Heroes for years before switching to EFI.
Don't know of anyone who ran EFI and then switched back to carbs

just because you can, doesn't mean you should

>>14830276
Interesting, usually the draw-through ones are the way to go as you don't need to run bigger fuel pressure through the carb. They run totally like ass when not on boost, but if you tune them right it's ok.

But there is literally no reason not to use injection with turbo.

Yes, we all know you just sprout bullshit you heard from the bloke sitting in the dark corner of your local.

>>14830291
Yeah, but no intercooler with a draw-through, unless you like exploding intake tubes a lot.

Blow-though carbs are not unusual, more of a US thing where V8 boys run em. You use a rising fuel pressure reg, and I think from memory you run boost pressure to the fuel bowls.

Fucked if I know really thought, I've done a lot with LPG + turbos but never carbs.

Gas research TB + turbo is about the easiest thing in the world

>>14830160

>still long-term considering turbos and stuff
now I understand those 1000-hp cunts

>>14830326
The problem is that if you run a blow through, obviously you've got to run fuel pressure that's base + N where N is the boost psi you're running.
And the rubber seals in carbs don't tend to like extra pounds on top of normal unless it's a carb specifically designed for boost which are mad cunt expensive.
Then you end up with a setup that's probably just as expensive, and makes less power everywhere, than a standalone ECU taking care of it all

I love carbs and on n/a they're mad, but injection just makes sense

>>14830343
LS1 turbo is cheap power. I went in one that made around 450 at the rear and the fucking thing scared the shit out of me at only half throttle, that's what I get for owning a shitbox with 40kw kek

Buy Japanese or bust.

Get whatever you're potentially about to buy inspected by a mechanic and a report made of of any/all faults found.

If the owner objects to the above then run a mile. It's not worth the hassle if they're not being upfront about the car.

>>14830991
Depends on the dealer, some are ok, some are down there with estate agents for cocksucking
Generally if its the right car you want at a decent price, hammer them down a bit more and you can come away with some kind of warranty as well.

>>14831017
I have no idea how to haggle prices on anything.
I get that it's normal to haggle with dealers, but is it socially acceptable to haggle with private sellers too?

And the prices honestly aren't that different. Once you factor in things like a mechanical inspection the difference is pretty small.

>>14831022
Private sellers its pretty much essential because they're generally always wanting even more than a dealer would ask for- that and you've got no consumer guarantee if it makes it a block down the road and grenades, tough shit
Always take a mate (preferably a mechanically minded one) and NEVER give them any money, so many people get scammed with a stolen car its not funny. Plus if you're carrying cash, then its a good way to get fucked up

>Test drive- make sure things look, sound, smell and feel ok
>Mechanical inspections can be done after you figure its ok

Most importantly- shop around, get an idea of what you want, equivalent cars, how much they cost.
Do a side by side of how much they want, how much an equivalent goes for and if there's no wiggle room to come down to how much you want to spend on that particular car- there's always more cars out there. Don't be afraid to beat them up on price, we're all adults... unless they get angry, run!

>not using Mr Juicy bottles.

Hello Mr Juicy, my old friend,
I've come to smoke with with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of bubbling.

>>14831295
50 cones i ripped and more
smacked the fucking bogan whore
and a vision in my commadore
just waiting for a mates galore

in restless nights i fapped alone
narrow skeets of cum i dont even know
neath the halo of my bedside lamp
i cuck wankers in the bloody abbos ass
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the coppas light
that split me nite
and touched the sound of straya

>>14831296
Nah m8 fuck that place. Hiding down cook drv.

>>14831313

Imagine a 2jz in a commodore

>>14831321
Too pigfat t b h

>>14831321
why would you put a car engine in a boat?

>>14831331
>>14831327
I love the look of commodores, it's just a shame about the rest of it

>>14831341
>love the look of it

disgusting compared to the supra

if you like them that much just get one with a big fuckoff ls v8 or some shit

>>14831327
>vn-vx commadores only weigh 1400-1600kg
>pig fat
They way hundreds of kilos lighter than newer cars your falling for a meme if you get a ve-vf they are literally the same car
>>14831341
upmarket spec vx's give me a boner and look great its why i own one
>>14831321

Imagine someone putting a 5litre ford into a dunnydoor

It works the other way so why not?

>>14831348
>They way hundreds of kilos lighter than newer cars
yes but they are L A R G E cars that look fat and handle like complete dog shite

>>14831347
Something different

>>14831348
>Imagine someone putting a 5litre ford into a dunnydoor
boat anchor in a boat
makes sense I guess

>>14831318
Had a feed at reedy creek in qld. Camping here in the quiet.

>>14831321
Always wondered what a 2J in a VR/VS ute would be like.

You could put Toyota Lexcen badges all over it for shits and gigs as well.

>>14831266
series 1 stock ls, auto....

havent really given it a strap yet, figuring out if i want suspension or not.

Feels floaty as fuck over bumps but corners allright

>>14831373
Oh yeah, umm

obviously you should put a Barra 6 motor into a Commodore. Plenty of VLs dunnit

>>14831386
Too bad the Barra 6 is so big, it would be a decent engine to swap in with all its torque

>>14831386
>RB30ET into an EA/EB Falcon
>supercharged 3800 into an AU XR6

Get a job, you useless cunts. Can't wait until we have merrican welfare system.

How do I bully children to like her? I feel really bad right for her right now

>>14824611
what other commodores do you expect p platers to buy lol.
and don't say they shouldn't buy commies, cos whether they should or not they're easy to fix and cheap. Except VZ alloytecs, they are shit

Already done.
Better yet imagine a barra in a skyline or supra.

>>14831914
OH whoops, I thought you said RB, my bad, 2J would be pretty cool

I fucking love the sound of Fords' 4.0 I6.

I want to hear the new EcoLPI in person. It has 12:1 compression. Should sound even nicer I think

>>14831321
There is a VR or VS commodore with a 2J swapped into it, but if they were done from factory in the lexcans it would be sweet.

>>14831623
fuck, she became a million times uglier when she spoke

>>14831914
How much would it cost to mount an RB?

>>14833619
She started speaking as soon as the video started tho

>>14831447
Of all the badges to put on why not JDM tyte S14 badges?
