Hello, this the right place to say Howdy? Utter nubblet on this forum so be kind folks lol.
Recently got my first FPV, and ooooh boy is it fooking awesome. Been kicking around in XR's for years, but XR's you folks may not have heard of. Due to the fact they were in the UK. Some RS's too. Had a play with a C*$^port before this but less said about that the better. If you see me about give us a wave or a nod or something, wont kill ya. |

Hi, there I have a1993 eb falcon fairmont with smartlock, now the problem is the original ecu you I had blew up becuase I short circiut the wires or something, so one of my buddies replaced my existing ecu with a 3.9 multipoint(mines a 4.0l engine) and the car starts up with it,but I have 2 other ecus that I got which are smartlock fitted. Whenever I install these either ones the car does not startup.... I need help this is pounding my head in, if anyone knows let me know does it need reprograming or something?

I'm Cass and new to the site, I own a 2002 MKI BA XLS ute, 5 speed manual which took me ages to find since I dont like auto's, no offense to the auto lovers out there. have had a range of nags throughout my life, a few thoroughbreds which cost me a pretty penny and now have this. Its stock except for a pod and entertainment system which I installed, mind you I havent hooked up the tuner cause I'm too lazy to take out ICC. Only issue I have at the moment is the height adjust doesnt work thanks to my bro, so if anyone could help or suggest anything it would be good.
I'm planning on a heart transplant from the N/A to XR6T, way down the track, sway bar, independent adjustable coilovers and a few other bits a pieces. Father has ba xr6 ute and grandfather had a xc ute and a ford fairmont ghia, so ford is in the family. |

Hi not long joined ...At the moment I have a xy 1971 gtho 111 replica that is a beast but great to drive.
Also have a 57 Chev in strip down but getting rid of it in favour of a 63 fairlane when I can find one. I will post pics of the y when I get the chance to get the camera out. I hail from Bendigo and look forward to meeting some like minded car nuts in near future...cheers Peter |

G'day guys,
I'm new to the forum but not new to fords. I've owned a few over the years starting with a couple of XWs but now I've joined this forum because I'm powering my new project with an injected 5ltr. I guess you can call the car a ford. It has ford badges but its really a Nissan GQ patrol. So I hope to share a little info here and there and also see what I can learn from you guys. Cheers Steve |

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum and have a couple of questions. I have been given a 1995 Ford Fairmont EFII. Great you say, um the only problem is that it has not been driven or started for 5 years. Its been sitting undercover in a car port for that time. i believe at the very least the battery is dead and the tires are flat. Questions. 1: Is there anything I should do before starting the car? apart from new battery/ tires filled etc 2: I also believe the aircon does not work, I was told this by the owner. How much does it usually cost to fix this. Am keen to get the car running for a project, but don't want to go broke repairing it all the time. Cheers |

Hi hi, I joined after wondering who to ask all those pesky questions to about my 97 ghia (AND I found out online that it;s an EL ) lol......as well as thinking that surely I'm not the only person who really loves their car...not just sees it as a mode of transport. Anyway, been navigating and posting and reading for a few hours. All I can say is Crickeys! because there's so many excellent threads/posts here so I'm going to be busy Glad to be a part of this online community!

Just joined up, thought I'd stop by and say hi.
I'm here mostly to get some detailing tips and talk to some of the sponsors. Gotta apologize in advance too coz I don't own a Ford ;) |
