Hi all,
been reading up on the site over the last couple of weeks and finally decided to join. I currently drive a 2009 FG XR6 (stock at the moment due to New Car Warranty), Ego in Colour around the Newcastle area. On a side note what is a good car club that does regular cruises around the hunter regions? I have read about the XR owners club of Newcastle and that they have Regular Meetings on Thursdays at Kloster's at Hamilton, but what is discussed at the meetings and can you be a member without going to these meetings? Stephen Smith |

Hi everyone, I'm Pistol Pete and I'm an owner of the magnificent RS. I'm a little confused as to where to post about the RS. If special falcons like the FPV and Tickford can have their own forum, then, with even more reason, there should also be a seperate RS forum. Obviously no RS owner wants to post in the Focus section. Any suggestions are welcome. I'll start with one of my own, please let there be a seperate RS forum in the performance. At the moment, I don't know what to do. I also note from my perusal there are no RS owners on this site. Maybe thats a clue for the mods.

Hello, this the right place to say Howdy? Utter nubblet on this forum so be kind folks lol.
Recently got my first FPV, and ooooh boy is it fooking awesome. Been kicking around in XR's for years, but XR's you folks may not have heard of. Due to the fact they were in the UK. Some RS's too. Had a play with a C*$^port before this but less said about that the better. If you see me about give us a wave or a nod or something, wont kill ya. |

Hi, there I have a1993 eb falcon fairmont with smartlock, now the problem is the original ecu you I had blew up becuase I short circiut the wires or something, so one of my buddies replaced my existing ecu with a 3.9 multipoint(mines a 4.0l engine) and the car starts up with it,but I have 2 other ecus that I got which are smartlock fitted. Whenever I install these either ones the car does not startup.... I need help this is pounding my head in, if anyone knows let me know does it need reprograming or something?

I'm Cass and new to the site, I own a 2002 MKI BA XLS ute, 5 speed manual which took me ages to find since I dont like auto's, no offense to the auto lovers out there. have had a range of nags throughout my life, a few thoroughbreds which cost me a pretty penny and now have this. Its stock except for a pod and entertainment system which I installed, mind you I havent hooked up the tuner cause I'm too lazy to take out ICC. Only issue I have at the moment is the height adjust doesnt work thanks to my bro, so if anyone could help or suggest anything it would be good.
I'm planning on a heart transplant from the N/A to XR6T, way down the track, sway bar, independent adjustable coilovers and a few other bits a pieces. Father has ba xr6 ute and grandfather had a xc ute and a ford fairmont ghia, so ford is in the family.

Hi not long joined ...At the moment I have a xy 1971 gtho 111 replica that is a beast but great to drive.
Also have a 57 Chev in strip down but getting rid of it in favour of a 63 fairlane when I can find one. I will post pics of the y when I get the chance to get the camera out. I hail from Bendigo and look forward to meeting some like minded car nuts in near future...cheers Peter |
