Welcome Daz! Nice car!

I also traded my other half on a much younger and more attractive model... hehehe. I have a 13 year old daughter, a 9 year old son and a 1 year old son. All feral. Hahahha.

Enjoy your time on here!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome. Already had one foray into supercharging, but didnt quite get to finish it off. I mounted an Eaton M90 on mitsubishi 3.0L V6, looked mighty tough, didnt sound to bad, but sold bits off after the split, no way she getting my hard efforts.
Should be a snack to fit to the Ford 6, but that's in the future. You all sound cool. Live in Sydney.

Hey guys, just thought I'd introduce myself,

I've just gone and purchased a 2004 BA 5sp Manual XR8 (picture in Avatar). My previous car which I still have and trying to sell is a 1999 Mitsubishi Verada Xi which I had supercharged

Gonna get some pics up soon of both cars. I've had a small bit of "tollbar" damage in the past but not due to any performance "padels"

Anyway, in the next few weeks after I pay of some debts I'm gonna start modding again ;)

Take care,

Soooooo...Best introduce myself. I've already made a few posts around the place.

The name's Rob. I'm 21 and live in the south west of Sydney.
I currently own a '91 VN Commodore (Ugh, Worst. Car. EVAR!!!),
however I have previously owned an '89 Laser Ghia and a '61 XK Falcon Deluxe Fordomatic with the 170ci Pursuit motor.

At the moment I'm on the lookout for a project car (a Ford of course!) and hope to
have something in the driveway soon.

Thanks buddy, I'll learn that in time.

This is my old ride, the one that the GT replaced, it was a well known car in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Not many cars had 18's in 1995.

Default G,day everyone

G,day people, my name is Ray or as I am also called on another forum I am a member of called Central Coast Motoring Club, Stingers. I have actually been a member of Fordforums since about the middle of last year, but have been visiting a lot more often lately since I have decided to shop around for a new car, which I am hoping to get before the end of the year. I am an avid Ford nut and have been brought up in a Ford fanatical family even though I currently own a 93 VR Crappadore (Please don't hold that against me). When ever people ask me why I am driving a holden but wearing Ford merchandise I usually hit back by saying that I can't afford a decent and reliable car at the moment. The Car I am hoping to purchase soon will be either a BA Fairmont or BA series 2 Fairmont.
