My first Car

[EFDOFF]

hey guys, for my first car, without a doubt was going to be a ford i wanted a reliable and good looking one aswell. i like the ed but i was feeling for more of a smoother ride.
so i decided on the EF series. at first i was gonna settle for anything, from base falcon to faimont but then realised that if you put the effort in then u can get whatever u want for a reasonal price. i set my eyes on the fairmont, due to the grill on the front and tailights being nice and basic and not containing the orange indicator colour. i went and had a look at many fairmonts all over victoria and found one close to home with not too many k's and good looking aswell. from day 1 of getting it i have been replacing and upgrading small things on the car. to the untrained eye you probably wouldnt notice anything besides the rims and a little bit lowered. full exhaust system. i have blue led's in the dash, got jl 6 by 9's on the back and a soon to be replaced JVC head unit (peice of shit). i have tinted the door indicators black but wont show in the photos due to being old. tell me what u think .








ill past some more recent photos when the sun comes out

thanx guys

Clean first car man.

Well done!

[freerider]

looks nice dude for a first car thats gold
i got almost the same rims on my xr too

[krisisdog]

Nice colour and rims, looks like a good first car for sure.
Got any performance mods planned?

[sexyr6]

Nice find mate, very neat, wish my first car was that nice..

[EFDOFF]

thanx guys, yer not too sure on engine mods yet, just want to get my sound upgraded. which is gonna cost a bit. and then i will get some window tint, chuck a python alarm in and if i can afford it BF GT40's. then i rekon the car will be done looks wise. i think i might leave engine mods to when im a bit older considering cops following me alll the time! if i had a choice id chuck a tickford xr8 engine in.

does anyone know where u can get fpv replicas? like website wise.

catch

theres alot you can do to a 6 mod wise that cops wont chase ya up for.. trust me we got it hard up here everytime i get pulled up they go over it with a fine tooth comb.. i got done coz my handbreak only clicked 9 instead of 11 times

[krisisdog]

You can throw a cam and chip in and the cops wont have a clue. Will cost around $350 for both, plus installation of the cam (if you cant DIY).
Very very worthwhile mods....

how much is it for the cam plus installation?

[krisisdog]

A regrind from Wade is like $150 after post, plus shims (anywhere from 0 to $50 odd), chip is a bit over $100.. installation depends on who you go to... but its pretty simple to diy.

Sounds like you got it all mapped out. P plates suck for getting cop attention. Especially with red plates and all the restrictions. Good luck with it

[psychotic-angel]

nice looking ford mate
+1 for cops picking on p platers

[EFDOFF]

def look into the cam and chips. the car goes well now and would love it to be even better thanx

[bigdell]

you should defiantly get a cam and if you are worried about the police then get some clear repeaters and remove the tinted ones.
very nice car.

[falcon4life]

im surprised i havent been picked on by cops my car basically drags arse on the road rumbles like it aint got an exhaust and leaves rubber everywhere and still no cop attention, except once i went down the wrong street in first gear and turned out a cop lived in the street and i knew someone and they asked them and they searched my name on data base and came knocking on my door next day... but didnt defect thang god cause i had balled tyres on the back

[bigdell]

really i have been pulled over 3 times and i have only had my P's for 3 months.
i just its all up to where you live and how the cops are there.

[EFDOFF]

is tinted repeaters illegal? cause i tinited them to a nice black but because the orange is still in the inside they still indicate orange. i guess i could use it as an excuse to the cops due to them still flashing orange. there wouldnt be anything worng if they still flash orange easily noticed flash even in day time?

but then again prob just due to how much the cop wants u off the road. or out of money

[bigdell]

what did you tint them with.

[EFDOFF]

bought it at and auto shop cost about 20 bucks.

dont know how many times i sprayed them but i did it till they were dark enough.
i think it looks good. id get the clear repeaters but then i have to get orange bulbs. wont cost much but jst cbf

i live in ipswich... nuff said lol commys and skylines are a dime a dozen

[skewy_33]

how much do u want for it roughly mate, im going to try sell my el xr6 and hopefully will have enought for this one

[Phillis]

nice score.

just careful with showing nightshaded lights around here, you may get chewed out and physically ass-rammed

[krisisdog]

I did the same with the side repeaters like a year ago, had no probs yet.

[bigdell]

yeah the fuzz don't like nightshades trust me i have been made to remove side repeaters that have it on them.
then i read the can and it says something like for off road use only.

[ed4ltr]

Looks like a nice clean car mate, im suprised i havent been pulled over,had my P's just over 12months drivin the typical el xr6 dumped on 19s an exhaust and no cop attention
would look a million bucks with some dark tinted windows and the mods for these things are endless.

good luck with it
