Well actually Australians got worse... but history will teach us that lesson

Doubt it very much. But as of the end of next year the ranger will be the most Australian car you can get. Fucking FTA agreement may as well of bent over and got fucked with a barstard file

Heard fordforums was renaming itself Australian ranger network.

Mines the same if you twirl too quick you can loose assurance but this is only in parking type scenarios. Mine has a reco box has been running fine

how many u still got

If its an xh get some of those sunraysias and the light truck tyres on them as fitted to the one tonne utes. That will give you max life but it will be complete utter shit to drive. Especially if you go a 14 ply MRF or similar. Drove a cruiser on those and it was fucking scary but could drive over fire, satan, and eric cartoon without a sweat. My votes on tyres Goodyear eagle ga's - fucking shit, soft shoulders and my sole chopped em out easy as. Falken - were great on my eb, but that car would chew the shoulders. It was best on Kumhos actually. The xf is on kuhmos had good run with those. The xf also chews the outer edge, but been playing with the alignment a lot on that and its paying results. Golf is on michelins. Fuck me put those fuckers on at 95,000 car now has 170 on it. fucking brilliant if a bit noisy Toyos the golf had those on it for about 60k those were nice and quiet too. Id buy another set of those too Yokohama c drives i had on my mazda and they were brilliant, but the wear was pretty average. Only got 35,000 on those. So my summary is: If you're doing a few miles get a non directional tyre so you can swap em around. I usually like a non aggressive tyre, with a hard square shoulder and a section which is rubber all the way around. Open tread usually gives more noise For falcons I'd look at the kuhmo, or hankooks they seem to go okay on those.

Good that the bomb squad doesn't use us oz falcon blokes

How much ho would a 202 have to make to do that

For the weribee/elifabeff/joondalup/rocko crew a 4 pattern cam is not a different lobe on 4 different cam lobes.

The shit ripco sells comes from the toilets on a mine site. All the oil in the food day gives it the consistency of marshmallow.

It's when you go over the bump and then have to have a change of plan because you're looking at a tree or b double. That's in its most extreme. But if your chasing the car after it goes over a bump it's got bump steer issues. It's measured by measuring deflection left or right as the suspension compresses. Adjustable height on the tie Rods allow to adjust this out as the steering linkage perceives an arc which causes the toe change during compression.

Mmmmmmm yum

paging slydog....

Nose lifts under hard acceleration so doubt it's a problem for you rob ;p

Yeah that will give you an inch, but will close to upper ball joint bind. Need to work out a quick way for wedges

Could run more neg camber and caster. This will tilt the wheel in too

Has it got fluid in it?

Qa1 stocker star 401 tad more expensive but adjustable That's before you get into the Vikings like rob has which are just porn

Yeah went back to lows instead of superlows for this reason. Our birds were never meant to be that low with factory hardware. If only someone did wedge kits here in oz the story would be much better, as you could then clearance the bump stop area to maintain travel. But then you need shock tower spacers etc. Joys of old cars

Sumps or early victas?

Well afraid to say this but here goes: Business (particularly corporations) are pathological in their intent. Business solely exists to deliver money to shareholders, and yeah if you get a batch of known shit, someone will inevitably do an analysis of keeping the junk and paying on warranty, vs junking it and getting quality ones. This is a perfect example of this, diesel gate is another. The only weapon you have against this shit is to complain like a bitch, constantly. Its easier for business, while the screw the silent majority. Moral of the story: Doesn't pay to be nice, be a cunt. This excludes small mom and dad style businesses - while they exist to turn a profit, there is a degree of morality to them missing from bigger concerns.

Most shops put the xg roller in them when they reco them. Its a different cover plate as well to take the roller bearing instead of a bush. Mind you 600 hp and 165 section tyres = no problems on turning radius.

Addition of cylinders decreases turning radius.

500 will still give a shove in the back. Why go all mental over full huge cams which give a crappy idle and hammer the valve train? Unless you wanna race it of course
