The AU will become my "2nd Daily driver", and I will drive this the 5km to work on an alternating basis with the swift. Planned mods will include an edit and possibly a larger cam, some 19's (or 20's), upgrading the stereo and install a car puter (already got a C2Duo lappy ready to go), as well as a backyard CAI upgrade. I'll also be adding a oil pressure gauge and possibly an oil temp gauge. Other then that my plans will be to start driving the bloody thing! Oh, but firstly I need to "dispose" of the last 15% rubber thats left on my rear tyres :evil3:

Hmmm, set the new 'lane up how I want it,
LPG tow bar HID upgrade to the driving lights front protection of some kind, preferably a Smartbar if I can make one fit. air suspension of some kind for the rear bigger exhaust maybe a boot spoiler to balance the look once the bar goes on the front....if I can find one that doesn't look too naff. Custom tune if I can talk the minister of finance into letting me go find a tuner and getting it done. Bushbasher

In order,
* New brake rotors and pads * Exhaust and cat to compliment the x-force extractors she came with * Some toying with the intake; some stainless piping, a duct from the lower half of airbox to behind headlight/s, ive already adapted a pod into the box, if anyone has some ideas/tips feel free to express! * A few 'tidy up' things to do, tear in gear stick boot, damaged front right body kit winglet (not sure wat to call it). I've had a few other idea's but cant think of them right now.

The list for the AU:-
1. Fit 330mm front brakes 2. Fit Koni yellows (Front/ Rear) 3. Rebush front end and fit Whiteline sway bar 4. Replace front/rear springs 5. Fit AU2 Fairmont Ghia full leather interior 6. Fit T3 heads,Crow cam,Trickflow manifold(plus a few more things) Have all this in the shed (except for the springs),just have to get time to fit it all. So I have a very busy year ahead and hope I can get all this done without too many setbacks

Up in airs about whether or not to sell mine this year, or wait a bit longer. Regardless of whether I keep it or not, no more modding. And continue looking at a much older Ford for daily driving.
Its hard to part with an AU without replacing it with another one. So I might alternate the days I drive it with my next Ford. |

Well, I guess my plans are:
New cat (purchased already) New windscreen Flash tuner Then either get a cheap eaton s/c out of the USA or a small turbo kit for a couple of grand. If the year isnt already over I want to get a different body kit and a respray aswell. |
