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. :(

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
