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.

GORSHAK · 13-02-2012, 11:02 PM

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, 04:31 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
