Hi Guy's n Gals,

My name is Geoff and I live on the South Coast of NSW. I currently own a 05 BF Falcon six which was a decent change from my previous car a RAV 4 (Dont Laugh) I've had a few Ford's over the years XA Fairmont 250, XY Falcon 302, ZH Fairlane 351 these were cars through the late 70's and 80's that I had only wish I had the fore thought to hang on to them noting the prices some of these cars are now. Anyway, I'm happy with my Ford and the economy which has come along way since the XA.

Well, that's my "intro" sorry I took so long to do so.....

Cheers

hi all, thought it was time for an into. Names Kole, im nearly 18, really into the e-series fords, love racing movies(when i get the chance to watch them) and really good with cars in general. infact, i've been fiddling with cars since i could lift a screw driver! i currently own a FJ75 Landcruiser (see signature for details) and previously owned a nissan 720 diesel. my best mate and i would flog the hell out of it every weekend and it still lives. the only thing that went wrong was the glow plug wire, but i fixed that the day before i sold it. i hope to soon own a '04 BA falcon which will be the daily.

cheers, Kole

sunnyjim · 22-02-2012, 12:41 AM

Hey guys, Ill was just wondering I bought a new AUII grille for my Ford AUII Falcon, its unpainted, I'm just wondering about how I should go about painting the grille, I'm unsure weather to use touch up paint or are other options available, because im unsure weather touch up paint will be suitable for a grille as it gets hot. Any ideas?

Hi All. I'm Nathan, I own a 1988 Ford NA Fairlane, currently off the road getting a few small things fixed up. Going to be a mostly stock standard car, no bodykit or any of that crap that most of us young people do, couldn't stand driving a car like that.

GORSHAK · 14-02-2012, 12:02 AM

I bought my self a new FPV GS UTE and have been loving it for 7000km so far.

Bit disappointed with the Utes exhaust system its too quiet in the Utes, so i need aftermarket asap...

i have read a little bit on tuning and light mods they seem to respond really well with awesome DYNO readouts but haven't the funds to do too much atm...

any recommendations on best bang for buck mods...

Hi all!

Been visiting this forum for a while but never registered til just recently. Been looking at various bits and pieces and wanted to start doing a couple of basic mods for my BA XR6, just to learn a bit more about the car.

Cheers!

jetsa · 15-02-2012, 05:31 PM

Hello everyone. I have decided to join this forum firstly because of the quality of the threads and secondly because I love Ford engines.

I have recently restored a 1970s Hamilton J83 jet boat and have maintained its original specs and stayed with a pre cross flow 250 (even though everyone told me to go Chev). I had engine worx here in Adelaide do the engine for me, completley re-building it and adding a mild crow cam and a few other bits and pieces. Here is a video of engine running.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=Z0Bs3lovwnM

I am also after a little info on the engine, especially whether it is the low or high compression engine - I know its not the 2V. Engine number is 72DA6015BG and intake manifold 72BA6049AA. Would like to explore how I can add some more HP to the engine as well.

Thanks
