[SILVA]

HI

this may be stupid, but i am always happy to read on what people have done to improve performance from the cheapest mod ( home made, own ideas.) to the expensive.

I spent lots of money and made it go fast(er)..

I don't see the point of this thread..

Are you after advice? Or just things people have done to go fast?

[robbyj]

Start with the exhaust and cold air intake.

So extractors/highflow cat/and most go 2.5" pipe
Or, if your thinking of turbo/supercharger later on go 3" exhaust pipe.

Air intake.
Either a bigger air intake snorkel (XR6T)
and a high flow panel filter

Or a pod filter

Although this isnt big performance stuff, you will notice a bit of a difference, and its the basic stuff that has to be done before anything else really.

Are you also talking Performance as in Handling or just engine wise.

All those go fast bits,

ok maybe this was a stupid thread, tell me how to delete it.
but i just wanna see people show off there FORD AU's.

this way i can see real people's achievements with there ford's
just wanna see pic's and prices to give other people ideas ( and how much to save.)

[frd906]

This is why we have build threads, we keep track of all our mods and that and let people no the reasons for doing this sort of mod and how it went etc, i doubt any one would go through and explain everything they did all over agian, when its simply just matter of reading the other threads

[robbyj]

Have a read here mate

Where do you live to never have seen an AU?

The usual mods that work on other cars work on Fords too. More air in, more air out = more power. An engine is simply a big air pump.

[frd906]

JC, I think he is refering to never seeing a au in street ford magazine

[grandpa_spec_F6]

I don't know why but I have suddenly seen an explosion of modified AU falcons the last couple of weeks. Seriously, every second AU has either rims, and exhaust or been lowered in some way.

To answer the questions, read my signature, couple of go-fast as well as stop-fast bits.

[justa6]

done a little to mine.

[Barryxr6turbo]

^^ Thats the only way to go. Anything else is a waste of time.

Here is another that Ive come across. Not so pretty though.

[frd906]

Lol thats dansedgli ute ^^^^^. He is a memeber on ************* and ford mods

[WannabeXP]

I wish that i had one of those big things bolted to my exhaust manifold
Best place to go as everyone has suggested is the build threads, blueovals is an exceptional example

You will very rarely see any AU's in ANY Ford mag's,
even the T-Series cars struggle to get any print space!

Unfortunately the people who make the decision's at them magazines "have it in" for the AU! You will see every other model falcon in them though!
