Hi i am new to this site and this is my 1996 Ford Falcon Gli project.

Engine is a clean and looked after 4.0 litre straight six with a 4 speed auto nothing special just yet.
Outside the car is your standard gun metal grey at the moment. It sits on 15 inch interceptors 205/65/15.

Mods: 2 1/2 inch redback sports exhaust and a lukey performance air filter and your standard cold air intake and besides that the car is slammed on its arse.

Sound system: It has a Linkman 1000watt sub with a 1200watt monoblock amp and a Jensen 7 inch touch screen dvd screen.

My Future plans for my car are.

Inside: I am going to respray the dash silver and around the centre console,blue leds in the dash,New seat covers,Black rubber floor mats,New steering wheel (Leather). I am also going to get it detailed and replace any broken plastics.

Outside: I will be badging it and raising the ride height about a inch and respraying the interceptors gloss black with chrome wheel dressings and chrome nuts. I am very shortly adding a 3 inch dump tip on the exhaust and then i am going to tint the windows darkest legal tint. I am considering respraying it later on down the track when the car has more work done to it.
After the road worthy i am colour coding my exterior mouldings and lowering the car with superlow king springs.

Performance: I will be turbocharging it simply for the fact of saying its turbo and to dose around in it so power figures are not my aim just yet since i don't want to go overboard or add a intercooler just yet. I will be using the following parts.
T04 turbo with a log style manifold and i will be running no bov or wastegate only a dose pipe running small boost figures off 5 - 7 psi. (Non intercooled)
I will also add a electronic shift kit and change my diff ratio to 3:4:5 and maybe a minispool. This is simply a cheap turbo conversion just to have some fun with the car maybe when the power bug hits me i will get a lot more work done so that i can raise the boost to 10 - 12 psi.

Sound system: Just new speakers and one subs doing the job alright for now but i do have another 12 inch sub lying around just in case.

Latest update I have raised the car to stock height since it needs a roadworthy certificate and it would have failed with the cut springs it had in it when i took the above pics not my fault it was done by its previous owner. I replaced all the missing interior plastics and fixed all the air vents. I installed a clock out of a ef gli futura and i also installed the front bumper bar air vents. I got a nice chrome sub grill to protect my sub from the baby pram and added blue leds everywhere inside my whole dashboard and in the trans selector screen. I also added a blue led in my back number plate light and sprayed my rims gloss black.

tomorrow I am removing my rear muffler and getting that whole section redone and adding my 3 inch chrome dump pipe. So it should sound way better then it does now.

Coming soon: New boot lid and a new back light since i put my foot through it and replace my front left indicator and buy chrome wheel dressings and chrome wheel nuts.

After the roadworthy i am re-spraying my black mouldings and colour coding them including deleting the side indicators since i cant get clear ones. I will probably end up colour coding that too.

I will also be lowering the car with super low king springs all round since where i live the roads are f**k**d and i don't want to get pulled over every time i drive it. I will also be adding a electronic shift kit and changing the diff ratio to 3:4:5
