Just curious............we always see our jap cars done up but you dont ever see the old Ford Falcon done up. Why is that?? i under the impression that becoz aussie "blokes" buy them it like they dont wanna go under the "wog" impression by touching up their car. Reckn i am wrong and there is something else behind it.

Also i own a Ford Falcon BA model 2004, wondering how it would respond to a putting on minor mods like a bigger exhaust, maybe lowering for better turning coz it is a sedan so it is fairly high up and stuff.it says on the Ford site it is mean to have like 182kw of power.......does it respond as well to performance upgrades as other cars.

Lets discuss this !!!

You have obviously never been to a Ford or Holden "show 'n shine". In Vic we have a Ford day, at Geelong, with so many restored/modified Fords you don't have enough time to see them all. There is as much modified Fords as there is modified Skylines.

If you want to discuss Ford modifications i suggest you jump on www.fordmods.com or any other FPV site.

Being a 2004 model just remember, when you carry out any mods to your car it voids your new car warranty in more ways than one. I should know I work at Ford. If something even remotely related to the part you have modified breaks you will not be covered by warranty. I do feel sorry for those guys with XR8's, XR6/T, GT/P, F6 for being restricted during the 3 years of new car warranty of not being able to carry out mods if they want a warranty. It sucks. Good luck with your BA though, just a thought for you to consider. :(

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
