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. :(

    • I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p  
    • I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.
    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
