Hello there...
I have been checking out these forums, and as I am looking to purchase an EA/EB Falcon in the near future I thought I would register.
I owned an 87 XF S-PAC MPI Falcon some years ago. More recently I have owned a Holden Apollo (Tolden Camollo?), which was a great little car, but recently had an argument with an AU (I think) Falcon...both were written off.
Anyhow, I have been digesting some of the technical discussions with great fervour. There is so much information on these Falcons, it reinforces my desire to own one again. I do a lot of mechanical work myself and I feel that parts are readily available and cheap, and obviously the information is out there.
One thing I am uncertain about though. When did Ford start putting the new Aircon (non-CFC) systems in Falcons, and how much does it cost to convert? I test drove an EB (series 1) the other day, and it seemed to me that the aircon lacked a little punch (compared to my memory of Falcon aircons). I'd like to budget in the cost of upgrading if required. My partner drives a Hyundai S-coupe, and she has been quoted in excess of $1000 for an upgrade (basically an entirely new system).
Cheers
