Sounds like a good Idea. But I only have one person from my family over here and Im only 18 years old with nothing lol. If I become a Mechanic I can easily build a Non Turbo car with legal mods quicker than a Turbo car of the same kind i.e Toyota Supra.

hi mate and welcome, I'm in launy to. aint seen your EA about?
Chuck a holly on it! LOL! or just go multi point. i have a bluey green ED Fairmont 17's superlow, kit, ect. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the multi point for a holly 500 2brrl setup. more air maor fuel and cheaper than doing the same with the fuel injected setup. just a custom adapter and a pressure regulator then i can the computer off! LOL! I'm north. Where are you? Is your EA cream? :voldar02:

By the way your EA would be injected. it would have 2 injectors in the carby body.

Hey guys!

Wasn't sure where to put this, I'm a new member here, from South Morang in VIC. I'll be purchasing a BF Falcon in the next couple of weeks, im just waiting for the right one to come along...thought i'd join the forums and get some ideas for modifications/tech knowledge before i buy the thing first though!

Upgrading from a 94 TR magna that i've had since i was 18, it will be nice to upgrade to something that can get up a hill with tha A/C on

e
So yeah, look forward to posting around the place and eventually attending some meets and whatnot that im sure you guys do also.

cheers

VioletGT · 18-05-2009, 10:17 PM

Welcome!! Turbo?

Lima · 18-05-2009, 10:20 PM

i wish i could afford that! Most likely ill be going for a futura..i wouldnt mind doing some mods down the track though..im young and stupid, there'll be plenty of time to blow some cash!

Dr_FutzLoop · 18-05-2009, 10:21 PM

Test drive a turbo FG... then you'll realise you want nothing but a turbo!. other than that find a falcon thats got a nice note to it..

VioletGT · 18-05-2009, 10:21 PM

Haha its still a huge step up from a smokey magna.. Enjoy

Dr_FutzLoop · 18-05-2009, 10:25 PM

Well at least he's ditching the magna.. better than people commin into work goin... I need part for mit sub ishi mag a na.. So frustrating!

the magna's been a good car overall! I've had it since 91,000kms and its up to 162,000km now - all i've done is change the oil, filters and plugs regularly and its had a head reconditioned about a year ago when i cooked it. Not bad for the amount of mileage i got out of it!

Still the general populous of magna drivers are hopeless, i'd agree.

Dr_FutzLoop · 18-05-2009, 10:37 PM

haha, well either way.. i still recommend going down to a dealership and take some cars out for a test drive.. its the best way of finding out what you like and dont like about the cars and it doesnt cost you anything. and if you go to the used part you can usually find the BA's BF's and maybe a FG all sitting next to each other if your worried about looks.

Hi all, just bought a Ford after 5 years as a Holden girl... finally saw the light!

My new baby is a FPV BF Super Pursuit in Vixen Red, manual, with a full exhaust. Always had a thing for utes and this one is a beauty! Turns lots of heads, especially when they see it's a girl driving! ;)

Welcome aboard, you will find this place adictive and very helpfull, enjoy your stay.

ED209 · 03-06-2009, 08:38 PM

Just got myself an XH ute and have been pretty impressed with it. My last ute was an old courier, which was basically a Mazda.

I'm more of a sports bike rider than a car enthusiast but felt compelled to look this place up as I'm really liking the new wheels....

.. speaking of wheels I'm thinkin' about some alloys...

Bike section here.

SLVRXR8 · 17-06-2009, 11:20 AM

Just signed up, looks like a great site. Just upgraded from an old '76 253 HX ute to the '06 BF XR8 ute, and I love it big time. Proper heating, air con, windscreens and vents that don't leak, power and NO RUST. I hope to learn a lot and have a bit of a LAUGH.

Cheers, Brian

FULY CHIK 87 · 25-06-2009, 04:27 PM

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself... not sure if im in the right forum to do so??

anyways my name is Casey, im 21 and i drive a 2005 Bf xr8 Boss 260, Rapid Yellow with the Black Gt Stripes, shes my pride and joy

, have owned for about a year now, planning to modify in the future. She has the black plates FULY CHIK.

Used to be a reg on the car club scene years ago with a lancer and commodore, gave it a bit of a break for a while and now looking to get back in to it

grandpa_spec_F6 · 25-06-2009, 04:41 PM

Well im new to these forums at least, member of AU falcon for a good few months, good bunch of people on this site I must say

FPV GT40 · 25-06-2009, 05:11 PM

Welcome to the forum....

It could not have been too many years ago that you were in the car club scene, you are only 21 now.

Anyway nice choice of a ride, wish I was in an XR8 at 21, you are way ahead of me, what mods are you planning and where abouts are you located??

Those plates would be right at home at Bankstown in Sydney's south west.

Edit: Just noticed you are in WA. so a long way from Bankstown
