EF wagon
- molest at least one schoolgirl in it
- get at least 500,000kms out of it

EB
- more skids
- some god-damned rear tyres wider than 245!
- do something about the 302's shitness
- ditto on driveline
- avoid TMU
- respray/new bumpers, and punch a brazillian pop rivets into it, World War II bomber/warship style. Maybe not.
- fix aircon, speedo, blend door/vents

Not much to either really :D

Ash get 3.73s or 4.11s for it! And a 2200 stall :D

Don't forget to take the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice, but keep it on the downlow.

My DC 5litre:

- Sort out cold start LPG issues
- Pick up and fit new diff (purchased yesterday)
- Smooth and Spray rear bar
- Source some good chrome DL 16'S
- Iron out a few more bugs that arised after Explorer/GT40p install


Find a donor car:
- to get an auto and get it worked over
- start building another engine to suit straight BBQ gas

That should keep me busy for a year or so.

my EL will be getting a high flow cat and a 2.5" zaust hopefully next week as long as i can arrange transport. also will be putting new shocks in there (someone recommend a good brand) in a few weeks.

next year (if i ever get the cash) i will be doing:
- 17" or 18" BA xr8 copy wheels
- extractors (probably pacemaker rather than genie since i will have had the cat n zaust out of the way)
- sound system.
So much RAM the motherboard twisted off the POST.

I lost 3 cylinders... but gained a turbo...

PLanned mods eh ? lets see theres always bagloads of things to do to my rides I'll start with the wife's car, been a big week on this one already

EB Gli dumped, big exhaust, converted to auto

things i can tick of the list....been busy over the last 6 months
Full interior change to Fairlaine Sportsman interior thanks to Spope.. with power windows and cruise control
Swap old out of date LPG tank to in date one............thanks Damo
S pack instrument cluster and oil pressure sender
converted to auto
polished it for the first time in 12 years
Changed rims from EB Ghia rims to ED Ghia rims with brand new tyres
Rebuilt LP gas convertor and tuned
New Auto old one dropped its load Tues just gone changed Wed

the list of things to do


new shocks all round thanks Dan....last time they were done was 12 yrs ago...lol....Half Done....did the front earlier today maybe do the rears tomorrow
bought a 3.27 LSD for it 7-9 months ago...unfitted maybe tomorrow
only other thing for it is going to be another motor....has nasty bottom end noises....one day soon hopefully its in the shed just have to pull it down and get the bits together for it

the EF Fairmont
Already done
Fit another RHF guard old one had bog crack and split from previous kangaroo thus the bullbar was fitted
Lower the rear back to XR Spec
Fit MP3 headunit and 2 Kicker 8" subs......Thanks Damo

The to be done List
give it a damn good cut and polish
Remove bullbar and replace with normal front bar
Dump it into the weeds
get new rubber and change stock rims to 16" FTR's
Fit tickford LPG
Tint the windows

Thats about it for the moment but Im sure more will come and things will change

The big plan if it ever happens will be to buy another EF Faimont for the missus do the usual things dump it, tint it, zorst it and stereo it
If this happens the EB will end up with a bright orange spray job full paint no moulds then maybe turbo/supercharger.....hmmmmm....so with this in mind the engine in the shed is getting ready for the rebuild to accomodate some boost.....but that is a long shot at this stage

Patrol

Set of spotties
Snorkel
Get the dual battery system working
Turbo and 35"s would be sick

The Lane

Either do the engine, AU2 suspension, IRS, NL interior and the crap load of stuff I planned for it
or
Fit NL Ghia wheels, drive it for a bit and sell it.

ed ghia - get it sold to buy a ute
atm all that needs to be done is change the speed module, and ethir do the resister mod or get a manual ECU (anyone got one for sale?)
and possible if i can be stuffed later chuck the lsd we have sitting here

ea spac - get it running to start doesing kents
fair amount of things needed still but im all for proformance atm

-get the dump pipe sorted
-find a rising reg
-sort out the cooler piping
-heat shield the wiring
-sort out oil and water feed/return lines

once iv saved up some money for an ECU & Tune

-3inch exhaust
-3.9 diff
-rerun air con pipe lines
-low comp AU engine running serp belt
-bigger intercooler

haven't really thought of much passed after the ECU & Tune, but once im happy with what its kicking out ill start adding some weight to it, wouldn't mind inquiring an EL Ghia interior (dash and all) as i like driving comfortably, add a nice boot setup with subs and speakers and tvs, possibly a new paint job depending on how much i like it, its all just talk till it happens tho

Buy a Torana

Twin turbo V8 it.

Drive it in the wet.

Be scared.

For the ED:

Get a proper clutch FFS

Fix gearbox oil leak

Make the speedo work

Do whatever is required to make another 130rwhp

Fix up the 11tyhundredbillion little things that aren't perfect that I want to be perfect....

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

S13: Fix engine, thrash until dead, repeat.

Ute: Nothing. Maybe hard lid & respray front. 19's would be nice. None of that will happen tho.

ED: Tune, race. Then fit nice interior and enjoy. Build new forged short motor. Crack 600rwkw.

Plans for my ED Futura are as follows:

Move reciever drier to make use of air con and 600x300x76mm front mount.
Fit front mount.
Finnish all the fidly bits on the inlet manifold.
Make cooler piping.
Get exhaust made.
Put new motor in.
Refit all the turbo gear to the new motor.
Find a suitable clutch.
Fit modified T5.
Get LOKKA fitted to diff.
Get aftermarket ECU fitted and tuned.
Get new wheels for it so I can have some decent tyres and some chance at traction.
Go drifting!!!

After all that is done, hopfully I will have some money left to get the thing painted!

EB:

Now that the accelerator cable's been fixed and power's back in the car..:

- Extractors (4499s??),
- Gut the cat (hi-flow cats are ridiculously expensive)
- 2.5" redback
- XR diff of some sort
- Sports low springs all round
- Some sporty 16s all round

Hopefully all in time for the December Ocean road cruise! :D

EA

Fix all the dents, replace a couple of panels that are a bit worse for wear
Get the panel gaps good
Paint it
MPI conversion (pending compression test) or new motor
4.11 gears and mini spool or lokka (maybe cig locker)
JMM Hi-Stall
Shiftkit
DEV 5 cam (Or a massive Tighe cam, saloon cam maybe) + Exhaust
Re-Bush all the suspension
Polished Turbo Blades
Ultralows minus 2 coils at the back + modded shock hats
Nicer interior and improve NVH
Rego and RWC
Get license back
Rip lots of skids

a lot of this shit won't happen fast at all and will all be done as cheap as possible, and quite a few won't be till after I rego it (ie ridiculously low suspension)

Scratch the NVH thingo Damo. Never expect good levels of NVH from an EA.
