Ba fairmont mkII

[corrin94]

Hey guys so 2 weeks ago I bought a car all stock and what not
It's a ford ba fairmont mkII sedan it's done 243XXXKm but I'm not fussed
It's on gas and petrol, it is a 4L after having a Magna for the last 6 months this is a big upgrade.




I would have had picks up sooner but with my new job at super cheap auto and the last week it has been raining for like 6 days straight buy finally got a good day to take some photos

Future plans are so far get an xr6 front bar and lights as the one I have now has some scrapes, extractors and exhaust, nice set of wheels and lower it on lows all rou

Looks tidy enough, and the gas will make it a nice cheap cruiser. Good choice.

[corrin94]

I get almost the same L/100km on gas but worst is its 77.9 here in sale which is crap

[nstg8a]

Still better than $1.50 a litre for petrol...

[corrin94]

so update i finally got a set of wheels that i like

[markr154]

Needs lowerage, and then it'll look sweet

[corrin94]

Yer I know I'm getting ssls working at super cheap means I get them cheaper

[Commando]

I like the originals better lol. But at least they're not ridiculous. They're those all-rounders that also go on commodores, magnas etc yeah?

[corrin94]

yer they do go on commodores and yer they fit on to the magna thats in the background but i havent seen anyone else in gippsland with them on so i thought hey why not and they only cost me $600 with 90% tred

I've got a fairmont ghia and I had the same rims on it. Looked alright especially since it's lowered, but the rims did remind me of Commodores...

Nice car

[corrin94]

So small update decided to put my exhaust on did it last night and sound so much better now . It's a 2 1/2 catback

so today after driving home from work my car desided to start playing up and i was about 500m from home when it wouldn't go for 50 without the diff going crazy and so got it home and apoc and i had a look at it and reverse wont engage so it looks to be diff, diff bush or even the auto has givin way but wont know till it goes up on the hoist tomorrow morning

[corrin94]

So after taking the rear end out of the car turns out that the diff that was in the car was not the stock one it had been replaced before and who ever did it didn't do it right as there was about 4 bolts missing that's why it broke so picked up another one with 2 drive shafts for 550 and getting a new tail shaft for 160 tomorrow as the old had gone to

So when I put my exhaust on I didn't have the right size gasket for the centre so used the stock one and well cause if that it kept on back firing got a miner defect for having it to loud so put a new one on this was the old one and now it's ALOT quieter

I think it may have been a little fucked lol. Small gaskets on exhausts are shit, and usually cause issues. It is amazing how much difference the right part makes

[private9]

Nothing like letting an $1 gasket ruin your day!

[corrin94]

So it's running loud again had a look and one if the bolts have come out which is gay
