My dealer just gave me an update ,58 cars to be released to dealers this friday (from dec 2 shipment ie Parsifal Melb) the rest still in quality control.
In my case I think my car was built in a couple of days. Etis said built 22 Oct it was at Baltimore port 6 Nov .It takes a few days to get to Baltimore ie , a couple of days at Flatrock then onto railcar then to port. If something goes wrong with build it will go to the upfitters to be fixed...
I think they have planned it this way. That is they will meet what ever local demand is and not keep US customers waiting for a long time but for RHD and Europe it will be steady production and as initial demand steadies they will meet ongoing demand. Of course we all know they got blindsided...
I think I read somewhere that they are building approx 30 RHD cars a day.Approx 200 a week x 50 around 10,000 per year.4000 for Australia , 6000 for UK south Africa, NZ,and other RHD markets. They are stretched with local market (10,000 per month) LHD for Europe (maybe 10,000/yr) Shelby GT350...
Unofficially heard that if cars off Parsifal check out ok in Melbourne quality checks that they may let future cars off at Brisbane and Port Kembla etc.This sort of makes sense because there are a lot of cars to come over the years ahead and they will not want the extra transport costs of...
Just a heads up.I posted some info on the Euro thread regarding TPMS sensors.I bought some sensors and tool some time ago from CJ pony.(I am putting new wheels on and will keep original wheels and sensors intact )These US sensors are 315Mhz.They will not work on our Aussie cars.We need 433Mhz.As...
On the spec sheets for my car from ETIS. FORD there was a notation of 433Mhz.(same as UK/EURO)I did not know what that was for. I do now.As it happens Ford Ranger(also Mondeo,new Everest) use 433Mhz TPMS sensors.They are not cheap at Ford.At least problem solved.
Thanks for the info .I have sensors from CJ Pony parts.So I guess they are useless. Where did you get your EU 433mhz sensors and sync tool from? Thanks. Phil Australia
Finally got some good news.Was disappointed when original build day of 27 Aug was blown out to 23 Oct.(like everybody else).My car is booked on the ANIARA to sail 14 nov arrive Melb 20 Dec. It is interesting to note that it is now taking approx 3 weeks from build date to getting on a ship.Thats...
Sorry to hear your update.I take it your car was at the port ,that just makes it worse for you.Hopefully it will be back at Flatrock in a week or so,get new belts late Oct/early Nov( I know you said parts late nov,lets hope that happens sooner) back to port mid nov, Auck late Dec. It is...
Thanks Chris for doing the Race Red with Stance sc5's.The wheels I am getting ,I hope, are machined face ,therefore bright alloy on front of spokes.( with black barrels,black on side of spokes, and chrome lip as you have shown).Thanks for your effort as I can get a good idea from this image.
Hi Chris, You do great work.I really like the Stance SC5 Black machined face chrome lip.It has been around for a couple of years therefore I have not seen it on a S550.There are a few images around with them on S197's.(Stance wheels/media and s250.photobucket.com/user/yellowmustang2006/ ) The...
Got my VIN August with segmentation(build) of 24 Aug & ETA 31 Oct.(New ETA Dec 12 from dealer). Rang Ford customer service in the states last night,got onto a helpful person ,I quickly told her my situation ,she was able to come up on my VIN and tell me my car is scheduled to be built 22 Oct...
They are Stance SC5 (5 spoke) Black machine face.Have a look at stance website there are lots of pictures and videos.I went over to TSW Castle hill and had a close look at their Rotary forged wheels.I decided on stance when I saw them.As for weight I am not going to track the car so unsprung...
I have bought some STANCE concave wheels Black machined face Chrome lip 20x10 all round .These are from Ozzy wheels and tyres at Hoxton park.They have one of the best showrooms in Sydney.The wheels have just arrived.The big advantage of these wheels as regards fitment goes is that the hubs at...
Since I have a copy of dealer STATUS ANALYSIS which now gives me ETA 12 DEC ,it looks like everything has slipped back 6 weeks. Even though there is no etis info for me I will cling to the hope that car has been built and I might get it for Xmas.
