Boosted Falcon

well okay no-one wants to reply, how about JMM? are they as good as they say they are ie- value for money etc. my only concerne with them is they dont tell you the part brand... everything in branded JMM

I have no idea about the places that you are asking about except that I have heard of JMM.

It has been less than an hour since the initial post that started this thread, be patient and give it a chance.

yeah i should aye im dead set tired and didnt relise the time i might go to bed....
blitz are a custom zorst place here in the west suburbs

I'm sure someone will reply in the morning when they do their new posts check.

Exhaust Bros in Footscray

Exhaust Bros in Geelong

autobarn....... lol nah, me trusty family mechanic does all mine.

yeh i go exhaust bros in geelong.
depends what ya want done other thene exhaust as to who id go to.

JMM ain't bad, a bit pricey though.

thats what i thaught but wouldnt mind paying out the dosh if i know they are good.... what are there "products" like? ie- brakes, zorst etc

They're good, the quality of their work is also good but don't expect the figures they claim from their DEV kits minus about 10rwkw and it'll be about right.

kool ill keep it in mind

i heard blitz in hoppers is good, id do there but my car doesnt fit up or down there driveway...

prestons and im not even from melb hehehe

yeah i think ill stick with blitz as well. i have a mate who rallies and 1 who races in speed way, and they said blitz all the way . hahaha i think you should lift ya car UP for the day

airbags ftw
is why i love places like exhaust bros. when they did the driveways etc they thought about the fact half the cars going in there are lowered. so it is near on flat with the road. dont think ya could get a car on springs to scrape if ya tried.

the JMM stuff is branded JMM because they make it Id probably head there for my performance gear if I had to..

lol, no they don't. There is 3 cam grinding machines in Australia, owned by Crow, Wade and CamTech. JMM cams are made by Wade. JMM Extractors are made by Pacemaker. JMM Sparkplugs are factory Ford (Autolite) US plugs that JMM charge 10x the price for. JMM Torque convertors are made by TCE.

I'm not saying JMM are bad, they have results with 4.0's like no other company, but the lies and deceipt do bother me a lot, even for a company trying to make money. I do like how they have built a niche in the market with a drive in/drive out workshop dedicated to Falcon I6's, something which no-one else has still done.

Because it is not a workshop that is dedicated to the Falcon I6. They do a lot of work with new and old ford v8's and when someone comes in and pays Jim $20,000 to install and tune a Motec M800 in there ski boat.

I never said JMM are a workshop dedicated to I6's, I know they do other stuff too. Give me 20 grand and I'll install a motec into anything you want too. I said they have built a niche in the market with a drive in/drive out workshop for Falcon I6's, something that no-one has done. I should have added, no-one else has advertised this either. When you have a monopoly on a part of the market, you can charge whatever you want.

I know that they aren't the be all and end all of Falcon I6's, but there are a LOT of people that simply want to give someone a heap of cash and their car, and pick it up later with more power, because choosing parts from different companies is way too much work. I'd like to think everyone on here knows that you can make more power, -and more importantly better times- with other parts, but not everyone with an I6 is on this forum (thank christ).

Don't get me wrong, I think JMM are the most arrogant, overpriced, over-rated (and in the case of Brendan at least, redneck) people I have ever spoken to, I just admire the fact they make money from modifying one of the most basic, and biggest selling motors built in the last 20 years.

As for the original question, I trust about 3 places with parts of my car, becaue I have spoken to them personally and they know what they are talking about with my particular car at the time. Just drop a couple of technical questions about your car that you know the answer to, and the answers you get will pretty much sum up whether or not you should give them money to work on your car. I'd rather do the work to my car myself, but I know not everyone can.

Mechanics deal with every type of car on the road, they all hate certain cars, and love others. Finding a place that specialises in E-Series is hard, because most mechanics know that 99% of E-Series owners are tight (otherwise they'd have a BA) so they don't see many, apart from head gaskets and BTR's.

yeah i got a lil up set when he spoke to me about a few things (mainly bout the rough idle and stuff in wich he said im dreaming theres nothing wrong), but decided they had a good report so ill take the xr there. since beeing on here ive learnt a far bit and i dare say, im not going there again. i was told allsparks are just as good but have never spoke to them yet.

how about dba? how does there brake packages add up? or how about kings springs?
