Benny, consider installing the optional electric adjustable pedals that were optional on the fg g6e. They were standard on my 08 bf fairmont ghia, but they make life so much more more comfortable. The seats where you want it, the wheel also is where you want it, and you move the pedals to suit. It removes any compromises, spirited squirts its mad, long trips, it comfortable as having everything where you want it to be.

I love the old pig of a thing, it’s got 500k on the clock but has a BF engine box and diff with 165k on it, and the bloody coldest AC I’ve ever had in a car. I love it. One day I might look for a tub and change it over to a ute, but for now the trayback is much more beneficial as we renovate and landscape.

They combined the reliability and strength of the Intechs while gaining the efficiency of DOHC and VCT (yes I know the Au's had VCT too). I just want to hear what makes you think that the BA motors were crap compared to your wet dream of an Intech.
