No that's good info mate, I'm after any information I can get. Cars are something I've steered away from in more ways than one so any info is good info.

I guess I'm waiting to see if anyone says there is something horribly wrong with this model. Makes a fantastic amount of power, absolutely NOTHING on a busa, but if I have to buy a car, it's gotta be able to move. It's quoted to produce 390hp and torque up to sky.

Dont do a REVS Check they mean f*** all do a check through Qld Transport .
100,000 make sure timing belt has been done But over all the BA was a good car you will just need to keep the Busa in the back to stop the wheels from spinning Lol2 nah should have traction control .

the 5.4 fpv v8 runs a chain for the timing, just the drive belts... but they are nice and easy to change, and more inmortantly if they to snap on you, they wont do any perm damage....

Look mate there a good strong car/donk, and it loks prety good from the pics...


There is 1 issues I've found with these... the auto trans fluid runs through the bottom of the radiator to cool, and the divider between the ato trans fluid and the coolant is only made of alloy on these models...

they have been known to let go, letting the 2 fluids to mix. your cooling system looks like it has strawberry milk running through it, and it WILL stuff up your box!

2 options, get a BFor FG rad, it had steel dividing walls, or get an after market auto trans fluid cooler, about $150...

Thats what I would do!

Let us know how you go..

They reckon it'll get 11-14 L/100Km. Not too bad. Won't be used as much as the bike. Don't think it's looking like I can get it now, missus wants a new car too. Have to get something cheaper...SOB :(

I'ld probable be looking at closer to the 14l/100km if I were you.
I think 14 will be achievable....

you know what I mean..
'man how the exhaust soundsing.. brrrrraaattttttt, oh good yea"

you never just cruz in a v8 or a loud car, you need to give it a splat every so ofter...

yeah I beleave those k's, I have a SS Crewman 280kw at the back tyres and I can easily average 10.3 l/100 , gotta luv these fuel injected v8's.Towing the boat [not slowly] it uses about 17l/100.

OK looks like I found a cheaper ute, similar power, more Kilometres, less cost.

$12K drive away. Same conditions as above? Buy a new trans fluid cooler & check belt?

Still a good car right? I mean the figures, price & looks seem bulletproof. Even the interior seems pretty luxurious.
