i sold the new falcon i just dont have the time or the funds this time round to get this one to the level of the old one and the old one needed to much spent on it. i will one day buy another falcon but for now im happy with this:
1993 ford TX5 GHIA 5sp manual 2.5L qaud cam V6 completely stock in very good condition always looked after....i will do a few mods to it first being intake and exhaust once ive saved up some cash.

Your TX5 looks really good, the front end sort of resembles a model of Mustang..
And the interior looks pretty modern, kind of like a Sylvia in a way. Got a 0-100 time yet?

Nice buy with the TX5 dude.
My ex owned a white one, same model as yours, and it's one of the only FWD cars I've enjoyed driving.

hi i have recently bought a 95 XR8 Falcon and saw that you had changed the ordinary clock to a trip computer from a Fairmont. I am interested in doing this, did the car need and extra parts other that the module.

"took the car over to the mechanic today and they had a look at it reason why the tensioner let go is because who ever put the head on when the old owner had it tensioned it up wrong damaging the aux shaft and something else i forget now causing the tensioner to snap when i first started it and also theres not much oil flowing into the cylinder head....so now i gotta decide to find another motor or just get rid of the car."
