hey guys,
im looking at buying my dads au falcon classic. its a 6 and its auto so it hasnt exactly got a lot of punch. so what mods could i do to it for around 3-4 grand? ive looked at jim mock and for 3 grand i can get around 140rwkw but they dont change the cam. obviously exhaust and extractors is a must but i dont know to much about the AU i6 so any help would be apreciated. |

exhaust, headers and diff ratio change, with the change look at a cam and vernier gear.

JMM Dev3-HL kit and the 3000rpm stall.. you'll be blowing away cars left, right and centre with that setup!

Nice one Casper! I am really eager to see the difference it makes to your 1/4 mile times. Does it negatively affect anything in particular? ie. fuel consumption
Oh, and bodykits can be found from AWC - their link is at the top of the page.

Body kit will slow it down, not make it faster.

As a test, simply throw 2 bags of cement into your boot (40kgs) and drive it. I bet you can tell that the extra weight is in the car.

i looked at the AWC site and they have some good kits, most of them around 1500 to 1700 bucks, which isnt bad. how much would i expect to pay someone to fit it and paint it?
