Hello all,
I am Andrew. I have just joined here at ford forums. I am 18 and from brisbane in sunny qld. I at present drive a 2000 Falcon Forte Sedan, White in colour (my fathers ride) but I am looking at buying a 1997 Fairmont Ghia EL navy blue sedan. It comes with all of the original accessories and I have decided to keep the original head unit stereo and just relocate the cd stacker under the drivers seat instead of just pulling it out and buying a whole new stereo system. Any comments on what I should do to my new vehicle, please tell me. Andrew. |

EL Ghia's are factory optioned with Tickford motors so you wont need to spend big dollars on internals just yet.
Look at shocks and springs,diff ratio,Extractors and system a good filter(K&N,BMC or Redline which is what i use) brakes and wheel bearings, and CAI with large flow induction pipe. Thats a good start Happy modding and welcome! |

Just check with your insurance before you start modifying it.

Welcome aboard Andrew
I had a EL Fairmont GHIA, nice ride. I bought mine mainly as a car to make noise, sound system. But also went the extracters, exhuast, mild cam, unichip, filter, induction etc. And EL looks mint dumped with 17/18" wheels on it. Go the Simmons FR18's polished centres and tint and will look a million bucks, then just depending on how quick you want it, will depend on other mods. More of a cruiser, the factory bodykit looks also too |
