Nardz' EF Mont-Rollin on 19's

[Nardz27]

Hey Guys

I Just recently joined this forum and it has motivated the heck outta me to turbo my EF.
I dont wanna turbo the SOHC six but. In future I intend to whack a BA xr6 turbo engine into it, when my account piles up with enough dough haha
Fordman351 is my inspiration for my plans ... http://www.fordmods.com/commercial-spon ... 60016.html

Unfortunately, this wont be happening for a year or so, because of 1st yr apprentice wages so for the time being I'll stick with it as a close-to stock EF

Anyways, more blabbing on about the car itself. It is a 1995 EF Fairmont I bought off my parents with 160000kms on the clock, and has never had many major repairs performed.
with the Initial purchase, it had 4wd suspension, nanna sunvisor, window visors, and mudflaps.

As I bought it...



The first thing to do was drop it a bit
I installed rear superlows and gas riser shocks in the rear


The visors were ruining the whole flow of the car imo so I removed all the visors.
Also the orange side repeaters stood out too much so clear ones were installed
Front superlows were then installed with ultima shocks and a camber kit to even out the ride height



And that is how it drives to date..although I recently bought a set of brand new 19" ANZ 5+5 wheels and they are getting freighted as I type this.
Tell me what you guys think..do you's reckon it needs ultralows in the rear?
Have any of you guys removed mud flaps to find that they have worn through the paint down to the steel? what can i do about it? touch up paint lol?

Should have left it nanna spec! then made it quick!

Nice, looks like a good straight car to start off with.

Been a while since I've updated this thread but the fairmont is now rolling on 19" rims







what do you guys think?

personally, im very pleased with it

[EBOOST]

yeah looks good man good choice in wheels.
cheers josh.

[Mr_4.0]

had those wheels on my car. i loved them. and yer i'd put ultras in the back. there will still be PLENTY of clearance under the car with them.

[Nardz27]

were yours 20's? look bigger than 19's in that photo?

has that got ultra's all round or super front, ultras rear?

Very nice looking car

Your last 2 pics in your first post really make me want to lower my car, that looks 500 times better.


And that EF fairmont grill looks good too, I had the EF ghia grill on my car... stripped the paint off and it came up chrome... that was good till I hit a poll and broke it so now its replace with an EL grill..

Seeing your car though makes me want to track down another EF ghia grill

[Nardz27]

hell yeah..might have to give that a crack ey, looks gay the faded grey that it is now

[Jake]

I think you can only do it to the ghia grill's, they were black with chrome underneath... I think ford wanted a chrome outer lip or something

Here are some pics of how mine turned out...

As I was scraping the paint off;

Front of my car was lowered in this picture, took the springs out because they were cut though... the car dived on the brakes too much.

man wat brand are those wheels?? did u ned spaces with them? looks hot, deffinately slam it more in the arse!

[Nardz27]

cheers man

they are ANZ 5+5 's and yea spacers were used.

...and yea does need ultras in the rear, but the rear is on an angle in the photos because one wheels on the bitumen and ones on the dirt.
see the photo of the left side of the car? the rear end is a lot lower than the right side, coz the left is on the dirt.
