Yeah go for the cash. Get something you actually want.

There is nothing special about that falcon at all. The XR6s go abit better than the base models but thats about it.

The AU is a great car mechanicaly. But they do seem to rust badly underneath. No idea why.

Personally i would want the Cortina, but in saying that ive never had one and thats probably why.

The falcon is good value, but they are always pretty cheap for what they are. Only thing good about that falcon is being an XR6.

Poverty spec AUs will often sell for around 2-3k, perhaps not as good condition as that one appears though.

If i was going to get a newer falcon i would want a manuel EF XR6

I see all my pics are dead above. Damn it.

This turned up the other night:

Not enough Bogans in Tauranga. 

WIll be there!

ATF is fine to use as a Hydraulic. In fact its better.Its  what we use for high heat and loaded hydraulic systems.

Can you use the power steering pump im not sure, but tipping a flat deck with wood on it wouldn't be to hard for a hydro system surely?

^ this car lives down the road from me now

 

/I'm pretty sure it's the same car, same wheels

Yup that sounds right. It went out your ways when i sold it about 2 years ago

I used to get alot of people commenting on how tidy my Toyota 120y SSS was also. FAAAAAAAAAAAAARK

^What about the Falcon?

Lol, mean telstar bo

^if i find some ill sell them to you for $250 hows that?

Might try get there also. never been, didn't even know there was one...

Seats will work but the rest wont fit.

Its mainly front suspension, steering that changes over. Engines and gearboxes. Not much else.

You will find most GL5 mineral oils have alot of ep additive in them to get them up to the GL5 spec. semi and full synthetic GL5s will have far less EP additives to bring them up to spec, with the better technology inherently more resistant  to high loads. Less EP additive = Less aggressive on your brass/bronze etc.

Wow, open question. Really depends on what you need.

Yeah thats right. ATF has dye in it as it would normally be clear. Im guessing its so if it leaks on the road or somthing. i think its more of a pseudo law that in reality means nothing.

Another thing that you can try is a bike engine oil as it had a wet clutch additive to prevent 'slipping".

Half the issues with older goxes now days is the oils are getting to good and too slippery. Best place to start is with an oil thats at the spec that the box is made for. 

I dont mean a "75w90 or 80w90, i mean the spec. GL4, GL5 etc. It makes a massive difference.

is the same deal with engines but thats a whole other can of worms.

You want a multi purpose tractor hydraulic/trans oil.

Has wet brake additives that will get our syncros gripping like a school boy. Dont tell them its for your car gearbox as its illegal as its clear.

Other option is some atf or if you want a "gear oil" get a GL4 75w85.

How much is that redline stuff? Everyone goes on about how great it is and spec wise i cant understand why. I want to try it though.

I think i might get one of these. As long as the internal battery lasts at least two days im happy.

Keen to insure house and cars, but only for 1 year? I dont know if i can be fucked tbh. 50% though hmm...

WOWOWOWOW

Its looking good!!!

This was actually an awesome event. Will definitely be going next year.

That datto wagon was on the next level in the drifting too. Crazy!

^Keen as on one of these GPS trackers.

Vbands rule my world. never ever go with a flange ever again

^Pretty sure i have a GH sigma, LA LB lancer and colt ones. Also have an LA factory part numbers book if your interested (very very rare). I need to find them tho...
