Hi from a Melbourne noob!

Hi all,
My name is Daniel and I hail from Sunny ole Melbourne...., err wait start again. I am in the market for a car, and have been giving quite a bit of thought to what to buy. My family have had a variety of cars but mostly Fords and Subarus. I was considering an FG G6ET, and 270kws standard sure is appealing, but I really like the AWD and the balance of the Subarus. At this stage I am thinking of a GT somewhere between 04 & 08, and then modding it properly. I have read a few of the threads here and there is some great info out there. Thanks to all the contributors. I look forward to chatting to/meeting you all.

Welcome.

Sorry I'm not familiar with how much FG G6ETs are worth, what is your price range?
Because there are quite a lot of differences between the two 04-06 (Pre-facelift Gen4) and 07-09(Facelift Gen4).

Hi Chaotic,

I am still determining my price range but at this stage I was thinking somewhere between 25 and 30k for car and mods. My research so far seems to indicate that I can get a 04-05 GT for 10-12k fairly comfortably, whereas an 07-08 seems to be in the 17-20k range. The extra 7k would certainly give me a lot more room for mods, but I also notice that the 07+ have a 2.5L instead of a 2.0L, and I am wondering what difference that will give me performance wise (after modifications). Anyway, I will do some more research on the threads here, there seems to be a lot of good info.

The wealth of information here is staggering
Much to read and consider,
If you are looking to moddify the GT many people here will be willing to help you make choices and recommend suppliers...

ENJOY.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the posts. There sure is a ton of information here. You guys have done an amazing job on that front! Thanks for the invite Bass. I will post on the thread. 99% chance of attendance at this stage. Is just one little thing I need to take care of, and move/postpone a prior commitment.
