Hey all this is my 94 Ef Fairmont
Nothing too special but still my pride and joy. Brought her 2 years ago as a first car, been slowly doing it up as it was completely stock.



Mods are only minor.
Interior:
JBL Splits up front (VR 600's)
JBL 6" Speakers in back (TR600)
JBL 4 Channel Amp
Pioneer Head Unit
Exterior:
Dumped on King springs, Pedders rear shockies.
19" RJR(Auscar) Tremors all round wrapped in 245/35 Maxxis maz1's
Engine:
New reconditioned head(x2) , new radiator, new steering rack(damn curb came out of nowhere)
Only performance mods are k&n filter and 2.5" exhaust so far with extractors being fitted next week(if i can find a descent exhaust shop in perth anyone know any??)
Needs engine mods soon....getting bored of it any ideas?
Cheers=)

Yeh wheels are alright.....the price is better tho lol you can get these on special dirt cheap and if you know someone....even cheaper. Only downside was having to fit spacers(1 and a half inch) but even then ive been told all they do is put more strain on your wheel bearings and they've held up for the 2 years they've been on for.
I never thought of getting clear repeaters that would actually look descent have to hunt around thanks man.
mmm i tow the boat in summer sometimes and it stops people reversing into my bumper lol....maybe i should just rip it of and put it back on when its needed.
Mmmm i went to mindarie custom....our workshops right across from theres in the next building they quoted $630fitted wasnt sure if that was cheap or not tho...

Cheers man has anyone fitted extractors themselves? thinking of just buying pacemakers and fitting them....ive got a hoist, workshop and the tools got told it was as easy as unbolting it from the head and bolting the new headers on is it that easy??

u will need to buy a new cat convertor that fits on the pacemakers if they dont already come with one as the standard ones are 1 piece with the engine pipe. yes it is that easy just unbolt and bolt back up.

i did mine on the weekend, easy stuff. you do need to modify the pipe goin to the cat though or buy a proper high flow cat is the best bet. i did. worth it.

Minor Update:
Got exhaust shop to fit pacemaker extractors+new muffler+ new 2.5" pipe as it was only an extra 100bucks bout 2 weeks ago.(Ran way smoother)
Brought and fitted electric shift kit from shiftkits.com.au was easy as and well worth it in my opinion, would have made one myself but would'nt have been nearly as neat as theres. Was'nt expecting it to spin the wheels that easy in the wet :O had some fun then turned it off for the day.

Update again:
Booked into BPT to get crow cam, vernier gear, lifters, chip, tune & dyno.
Walked in to just get a mild cam but got talked into the stage 3.
is anyone running cams roughly that size without a chip???
would save me $$$$ was going to try it without the chip but he said "you would be on the tip of the icebirg without it"
cheers
