Hi all,
I have only recently joined the forum. The main reason being,my girlfriend has recently acquired a 1993 nc fairlane. It's stock at the moment but she wont leave it that way for long. I have no history of working with Fords, so I thought I would come here and get some tips,advice etc. We were wondering if it's possible to fit a '93 LTD grille to the Fairlane, and what's the best way to go about lowering the car-do you need to remove the self levelling suspension or not? Apologies for asking what may seem like dumb questions but as I said.. this is my first Ford (to work on) so please bare with me. Great Forum Cheers, Mitch |

Hi all,
Im matthew and from WA. Well I have just bought my first ford as I have been a Holden nut all my life. It is a 2004 ba xr6. I was a bit unsure moving from Holden to ford but I wish I had done it years ago. It is such a pleasure to drive and looks great as well. I was surprised on power the xr6 chucks out but glad it does. Hope to spend a lot of time on forum cheers |

Hey everyone,
I've been a long term admirer of old fords, and just scraped my way into purchasing a 65 XP Deluxe 200. Have come from a VW background (aircooled) so used to working with rusty steel but now I have something real special! |

Hi all,
Im JD, just got myself a ford. BF MkII, previous car to this was a VTII Berlina, previous to that was a EL Flacon GLi and previous to that was a Toyota Cressida Grande. So thats my car history! No upgrades to my Toyota before i wrote it off Upgraded EF stereo, put in nex 6" front and back, new head unit and a sub/amp. ALso installed a set of driving lights on it. Sold this Put a new head unit in the Berlina, also attempted a CLimate control illumination change, designed for bulbs not leds, so i tried to fit about 20 leds strategically for best lighting, got it all working but broke the outside casing. Bought a new one, didnt touch it :P. Sold this car recently. Just got my new falcon and loving it, although there are a few things id like to do to it... hmmmm |

Hi all,
Can any one provide me with some advice on the following? I have an 03 BA wagon 6 cylinder and have just changed the cat converter assembly with an after market unit. Is it necessary to also install the original shrouds which were on the original factory cat converter onto the new after market unit? Cheers, Photolabtech |

Hi ho everyone. Finally got my account activated. I have happily switched from the "red pill" to the "blue pill" 6 months ago. I own a 03/03 WINTER WHITE BA XR8 AUTO with 97000km, had 89500 when I bought it. I had rear cradle bushes replaced by Mediecke Ford just after I bought it. The January this year tye factory radiator tanks split so I fitted a 56mm dual pass alloy radiator supplied by TAREE RADIATORS and fitted once again by Mediecke Ford for a nice total of just under 600 supplied and fitted. My XR8ABY (as she's nicknamed) has factory wheels and suspension, with 235/45/17 Rotalla F107 asymetrical tyres.
XR8ABY's most recent addition is a BF GT top hat, vortex spacer and GT t/b which I picked up for 200 delivered with the lower intake and injectors aswell. My plan is to fabricate my own front mount intake using a vmp 66mm t/b. I'll add fotos and further plans for XR8ABY when I get back to my computer. |

I'm 23 years old, 6'3" 120kg X apprentice mechanic, injured right wrist in 2010 have not been able to get a start with anyone coz i'm limited to 7.5 kg on it and only 15kg over both. started out witha VN exec on Gas/Peto wrote it off bought a VS Berlina got ripped off big bro bailed me out witha VN manual, bought the silver VX and now have this.
