Hi I just got stuck with a ba XR8 auto ute (long story), its the second ford I've owned, the other was an XE.


I live in Brisbane and run a small custom metal workshop.

Hoping to get some info off this site for the chooka and share my experiences and opinions.

Cheers!

Hello everyone,
I drive a AU3 Falcon XR8 Ute and have owned a couple of old falcons, EF and XE. I'm a recovering Mazda rotary addict and I've been around rally cars, drag and hill climb cars for quiet a while.

I'm wanting to start a F-series restoration/build in the next few months and by my member tag you can guess... I'd love to power it with a 460!

I'll see you in the forums!

Hi all, long time ford fan first time poster. Recently upgraded to a manual fg xr8. Love it to bits in spite of the clunks I get when changing gears. Am battling through threads but if anyone could save me some time....Is this really just how they are? Seems a sad state of affairs to me growing up in a time where ford diffs were king.

XR8's are pretty well covered in the FPV and Boss Powered Falcons forum...
http://www.fordforums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=31

Or try the FG forum ...

Hi there, as my username suggests my name is Peter. I have a couple of old f100 ex ambulances in retirement at the moment. I am looking at buying a bfxr8 fantasy ute and would like to know if there has been any problems with the 5.4 twin cam motors and that model vehicle in general. Cheers.

Hi All, been on the forum for a while time to say Hello.
My daily drive is a 2004 BA XR8 ute, it gets a hard life but is still going strong. It gets washed when it rains
My other Ford is a XW Falcon 500. The XW is driveable but is in need of work. We are hoping to get the XW in the body shop early next year.

Hi to all in the best country in the world. My name is Ren and I'm feeling pretty happy and privileged to be accepted into our Ford community. I am the happy owner of a 2009 Ford Fg XR6. It was standard when I bought much trusted machine. I ordered her in the Seduce metallic pearl with full leather, premium sound, tech and tow packs and the XR6 Turbo 18's. I'm exceptionally proud to say I have never had a thing go wrong. Reliable and an all round excellent piece of Australian built motor vehicle. Over the years I have added or changed various types of Wheels, paint, exterior and interior bodyaccessories even engine mods. Seeing as this is only my intro I'll leave it there, but I will definitely upload some pics of my machine and showing the changes I've mentioned. So again hi and I really hope that we can get some good chats going and that as much as I'll help anyone with any info or recourse I have, I can count on getting a hand and info from you all. Talk again and keep bleeding New Ford blue.😉

Hi everyone,
just joined up to read up about Ford Territories - my husband and I are looking at getting a 2011 7-seater diesel one, just waiting for the right one to come along. We have 3 children who I suppose are only going to get bigger currently making do with a Honda Jazz. It's too small.

Hi all, joined the forum mainly because we have just acquired a 85 Bronco 351 V8, that I reckon will need a little work over time, and it looks to me that the forum is a great source of info and mutual support, my first job will be to work out how to fix a sagging hood lining !! so if anyone can help, that would be good.
