I saw that other post you made before you deleted it.

You said that you were a mechanic that worked in a Ford dealership.

If that's not lying then I don't know what is . . .

delsonist · Post by **delsonist** » 18 Nov 2004, 12:23

yes a 2nd year apprentice at valley ford......i didnt want to lie, coz im not actually a mechanic yet

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 18 Nov 2004, 12:32

Only question is: Why Ford?

Did the Holden dealership turn you down?

delsonist · Post by **delsonist** » 18 Nov 2004, 12:36

no, i was at the stage of OMFG FORDS ARE TEH OWNZORZS OF TEH EVERYTHING......in otherwords i was 15, liked fords and hated school. go figure

oh PS i hate my job, do not be a mechanic, it is shiznit

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 18 Nov 2004, 12:53

Well you are only 17 . . . which means you must have dropped out of school.

So I s'pose that you can't get a different job.

Although school is gay, it's a big help when you want to get a job.

I thought about being a mechanic at one stage . . . well not anymore lol.

Both holden and ford are better than each other in their own respects, ford beats the crap outta holden with its low range tourqe figures but the new HSV LS2 6lt V8s give holdens a higher power to weight ratio. Personally i prefer holdens i just reckon the look and go better over distances

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 27 Nov 2004, 07:32

Dunno how you figured that out . . .

When will Holden start using OHC? I've said this before, but Holden can't catch up with Ford's engines until they get some newer technology into practice.
They've finally upgraded from the Buick V6, so why haven't they done the same with their V8's?

well im a holden man at heart but id have to agree with you the ford engines are far supirior ( it hurts to say that god please forgive me lolz )
but is ohc really the way to go imean if they are so good why dont they use them in the drags where their is real horse power there must be some dissadvantage but man i love those turbo 6's ford made a very good choice there opting agains a supercharger well in case ya missed it on the other thread here it is agian a joke for yas lolz

I have no idea, but perhaps it's against the rules, like in V8 Supercars.
And they use OHC in Formula 1 so it must be good.

Whizza · Post by **Whizza** » 29 Nov 2004, 14:33

true that about the f1's but they are a complete different breed of engine i mean a just say a 4.ol v16 as comapered to a 6.0l v8 and the technology in a f1 eng is really space aged lol

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 30 Nov 2004, 01:56

It's actually a 2.0L V10. And they make about 800-900 hp.
But yeah, they are definately very different.
Maybe pushrods work better for big-bore high displacement engines? You're a mechanic, so you should know.

Whizza · Post by **Whizza** » 01 Dec 2004, 01:00

each have there good an bad sides to them

complexity , price there are alot of factors really and ill admit alot of them i dont know most of the work i have done for mates have been older engs with a few rice burners here an there

Whats with all of these guys, saying "I like ford better, because it has the mustang" etc.
It really annoys me, cause many more people are familiar with ford, because its American. But in this forum we are descussing ford and holden in 'australia only' right?
(ie. Ford Falcon, versus Holden commodore). We all know that ford has amazing supercars, like the GT40 and Mustang gt, but we are talking about 'ford Aus'.

If it WAS ford America, verses holden Australia, then of course ford will win, cause they are more powerful and stuff. So can we reffur to Australia from now on?

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 10 Jan 2005, 09:07

Yeah whatever, but Ford is still better.

The Falcon is way better than the Commodore.

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 10 Jan 2005, 09:47

Lol. You have high hopes boganbusman

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 10 Jan 2005, 09:55

I'm not hoping, I KNOW.

Anything the Commodore can do, the Falcon does better. (apart from selling, but that is changing

)

No I'm for neither, I had a Ford Fairmont as a starter car and thats what I had to do with it. I'm tired I must have missed the earlier post of that one.
