Boosted Falcon

hey, hows it goin?
im 18 and live in cranbourne victoria. Im currently completing year 12, studying to become a mechanical engineer (one day i hope) been floating around the formods website for a while but only just came across eseries
i bought my grans ED off her a couple of years ago, wasnt a bad buy considering the car had been garaged all its life and hadnt even clicked over 60,000k's
since then ive started doing a bit of chopping and changing. I reckon it looks a fair bit nicer then it used to, not sure if gran agrees with me though

heres a list of modifications:

mechanical:

pacemaker PH4480's
AusPac 2.5 catback
wade 1636 cam
boxed K&N pod
bosch motorsport leads
shift kit

Suspension and wheels:

lovells superlows
PDW fuzion 18's

Exterior and Interior:

bootlip spoiler (getting painted)
clear front indicators
dual dump tip
painted engine bay including rocker cover, airbox and snorkel and power steering pump

kendwood headunit

Future mods:

looking to install a 5 speed manual in the near future

cheers

60000kms?!?! Man that's awesome!

Nice first car man, good to see it isn't covered in neons and stickers!

Brilliant first car dude. A lot better than mine... 330,000 kms eb

Anyway, if your looking into doing mechanical engineering theres two things you need to consider.

1st: I hope you LOVE physics and maths, cos you will be doing a hell of a lot of it

2nd: Unfortunately, not a lot of car design is done is Australia compared to china, america etc, so it will be hard to get a job in the automotive design industry.

Im only saying this because i seriously considered that course last year but decided against it for those reasons.

In having said that, for all i know you are the best Physics student in the state and you'll finish uni with top marks in which case you can pretty much go where ever you want (FPV )

Good luck with year 12 dude and hope the car treats you well

looks like you've done some good stuff to it.
nice work

cheers rhys

haha yeh physics is a word im slowly starting to get sick of
iv always gone pretty well will the methods and physics subjects but iv never really like them

what did you decide to study instead?

oh and as for the neons and stickers nut347
ive been taught from a very young age that they are a big no no
although i do have a couple of mates that will whack a "von zipper" sticker on the back from time to time

cheers guys

nice car - very tidy
next mod i would do is thermofan conversion

Nice car mate! ive seen it round, looks nice and tidy

Looks good , I swear if have seen this car in cranbourne b4 .
Looks good tho.
I agree with MMD thermo fan conversion would be a good.
Maybe buy a cold induction box .

As for 5 speed conversion speak to schmee on here he is in hampton park and im sure he could help you ,

Something with less maths. I'm doing biotechnology. Which has quite a bit of chemistry and a touch of physics thrown in as well.

If your doing well its a good sign. Its when you lose interest that it gets a lot harder. But once your in uni its not that hard to change course if you don't like what your doing. Just have to have good marks so they know you can handle it.

Clean as! Welcome!

mate looks nice. have you thought about a boot lip.

Hey mate thats a bloody clean ED you've got, very nice. Im in Crimebourne to where abouts are you. I'm in the process of turboing my EF now, I'm mobile around cranny I haven't seen that ED before.

Hey mate nice ED.
Haha I'm in Cranny too, but I've never seen you around.
What school do you go too?
And also, the pictures are at Lawson Poole Reserve yeah?

Hey Joshe what are you driving maybe I've seen that ?

I have a poly green ED XR6.

I'll keep an eye out if you see a mobile mechanics van flashing at you don't stress

haha ok, by the way I'm a learner

i better not then

haha

hey mate, i live in cranbourne north right next door to the cranny golf club
i go to school at st peters college and work part time on monahans rd at westons meats. u might have seen the car floating around there
Currently on my learners, two weeks until i go for my p's
been counting down the days

a turbo'd EF sounds like a pretty decent runaround

cheers
