heh heh heh watch the language, im personaly lve the au and au2, ive also
spent a few months woking at both ford and holden and believe me the falcon
is one hell of a well built car, the vt is a lemom, i could go alll day
about the problems with them as well as vs, vr ect. even a few of the
workers at holden admitted the build quality of ford is much better, i must
admit though our 5lt windsour is no match for the 350 chevy donk. but then
you wait and when ford brings in the 5.8 or the 4.6 ohc and quad cam engines
those holdens will shit their dacks. i mean a car thats fast and unreliable,
unlike the vt ss ect fast but full of probs.
oh yeah someone was mentioning using VT brake parts on datto's well thhe
calipers are ok but dont use genuine holden VT front disk, they warp causing
brake shudder and have to be machined, somthing nealry alll VT suffer from.
on average city holden in adelaide get 1 to 2 cars sometmes more a day which
need their disks machined. and most of the cars are under or around 1 year
old.
but when i was at ford tey only did servicing most of the time as there arnt
stacks of things wrong with their vehicles like HOLDEN.
they may be damn ugly in your eyes but at least theyre reliable.
ok im finished now.
