sorry to sound like an ass but how come u spendin $1400 to get a v8 put in?? its not a bad bad price n all, but:

1) u just spent money on gettin the exhaust put on and its gonna be useless when u convert.. geussin it cost $800ish??

2) for $1400 you could have made ur i6 manual and have a lumpy ass cam and a higher ratio LSD and be runnin in the 14's..

Agreed. Or, $1400 could have bought you most of a turbo and manifold for the 6.

[tuffef]

sorry forgot to tell you guys not converting to an 8 now just making a quick n/a 6 mate

any suggestions on cams, ecu's , things i can do to my auto? and not to cluey with the lsd and stuff ?

[stalker]

turn it to a manual... best thing you can do to an auto :p getting mine done in a week or so, getting the exhaust done monday, you should be able to get it converted to a manual for like 1250, cheaper if you install it your self, much cheaper.. and that will also get a nice manual ecu, normaly from a xr6 or something

[wolf]

just a question.

does your Fairmont have the tickford enhanced motor?

i have a ef Fairmont ghia and it runs a tickford motor.

All EFII-EL Ghia's have a ticky motor

[tuffef]

autos are good if you put the quikshift with a better torque converter not sure of the price a bloke i no has got 1 in a commodore and he just lifts his revs up 2 2 and half grand then hit a button and it shoots off it probs aint gud for the tail shaft tho lol

When I saw the heading "new vinyl inserts" I was expecting some lairish disgusting thing in green or red or something, but that actually looks quite good. You just need some chrome handles to finish it off!

[get_an_ea_today]

looks way better, nice job.

[tuffef]

yeah thanks guys im still on the hunt for some el ghia chrome handles cant find them anywhere!

[mike1989]

this is one of the nicest looking ef ghias ive seen.. gunmetal grey goes mint with the rims i think

[tuffef]

thanks guys getting the chroime handles on the weekend from a guy off ford mods !

[tuffef]

What happened to those rims?

[SHY4D]

Rims back dude..Sorry. Dont know if the ef el can really pull off the stockies all round...my thoughts anyway.

Nice car though.

[huggiebear]

stockies FTL!

[Malakai]

It's not just party out the back, it's a party front and back. Doesn't look very good though.

Get some antennas and go around arresting people!

[tuffef]

ahahah dont wory guys rims are going back on nothing wrong with the rims just the tyres they are sitting on ...getting new tyres and there going back on lol

[tuffef]

Mate, try put your picture links like this

Code: Select all

The territory ghia badges look like a 5 year old spelling with magnetic letters on a fridge

Nice tidy car tho (Y)

[tuffef]

there too big to put like that and about the badges .. how come TOPGHIA didnt get shut down for doing the same thing .. guess i need to build a rep?

[Commando]

build a rep? ay?

One member has criticised you, everybody else has said the car is tops. I rate it too, and I like the Terry Ghia badging location although the 1st pic has the lettering looking a little "wonky". Not sure if it's due to the camera angle or not, but could it be redone/straightened up?

[tuffef]

must be the angle side on they look straight , yeh some peoples comments should stay comments and not be real assholish about . instead of saying its like magnets on a fridge tell me its not your taste but meh

[Commando]

dude, ONE member has poo-pooed you. All the others have given the thumbs up.

It's the internet. Grow thicker skin.

[galapogos01]

putting additional badges on your car doesnt make you cool.

if you dont like criticism, vicfords.com.au
