Any gear heads in here?

[Zen Badger]

I'm the proud owner of two V8 Fords and a Yamaha FZ1 Fazer(the 16th bike I've owned)

And I'm a qualified heavy diesel mechanic.

So yes, you could say I'm a bit of a gearhead.

I also do maintenance on my friends' bikes, a CBR 600, a custom bobber, and a Yamaha R6.

The Ford V8s, are they the ones with Garrett turbos, or Holset turbos?

Neither in fact.

One is a "92 LTD with a 302 Windsor and the other is a "02 BA Falcon ute with a 5.4l

OHC 3valve V8.

Whoa, I must have had a brain fart, I though you were talking about Ford V8 turbodiesels for some weird reason.

I wish we had utes here in the states. I always wanted a pickup truck as low as a car and with an LS1 or something in it. I also think the 4.0L Falcon Turbo engine is awesome, but I've never actually seen it in action or heard reviews. I just know it has a GT40 turbo attached to it from the factory.

The ute is pretty much the aussie sports car now.

Especially when you look at cars like the Maloo's or XR8's which are barely capable of carrying a scooter.
