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

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.

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...

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

Hey guys I think its time for me to make a post

The name's Josh, or Patto, whatever anyone likes. I'm 21 and getting off my Ps in April and in preparation just bought an FG F6 sedan today, well put the deposit down anyway hopefully to be picked up sometime next week when everything is sorted

A few details:
White 2008 6 spd MANUAL! Haha yes you have no idea how hard I've been looking
Dark Argent wheels
X-force exhaust
GFB bov
Oil cooler
Injectors
HD clutch
Bilstein suspension
DBA 4000 club spec rotors
Other things I've probably forgotten to mention haha Im a bit scarce on details as I have only seen it this afternoon

Hopefully be able to get a few pics up sometime soon, finally get something interesting after being on Ps for so long!!
