wow...thats alot to do, i dont really think its worth it...i might do it if i want something to do though....maybe..haha

LOL, It is a lot to do. Maybe a job you want a few mates and a long weekend ahead of you to get it done.

Josh

mmm true and a few slabs :p

Lol i also wouldnt have a clue how to change over the climate control to Fairmont, Ghia etc spec but it does look a hell of a lot nicer and is quite a good mod for the base model interior.

Full BA intake isnt too hard a job, a few people have done the full swap over. The inside wheel arch just need to be bashed in a bit so that the BA airbox can be mounted without sitting too high and fouling on the bonnet, as it sits a bit higher than EF EL airboxes. It does have 2 holes for mounting to the top of the plenum on the BA as does the AU and possibly EL as they had a similar intake setup. But it sits very securely without the bolts holding it to the plenum - i speak from experience . Its a tight fit and the BA intake pipe has indents for where it sits over the curves on the BBM so it wont go anywhere. So basically the BA intake piping is pretty much a straight swap, ive done it on my EF but i retained the EF airbox and it looks like this VVVV



The EF airbox is big enough so the BA one isnt really required unless you're after a modern look. Using the EF airbox, the BA intake piping will fall short of connecting up so a short length 3" pvc pipe or alloy/stainless etc would be needed to join them.

Man your rocker cover looks sweet mate, I sure you have had it in your thread but I must have missed it.

Is that an XR intake pipe your using there?

Josh

Thanks mate

Yeah the rocker cover and throttlebody are the latest mods on the Fairmont so far, havent put it on the build thread as of yet, still havent finished in the engine department . I'll update my thread as soon as i upgrade the cam and clean up the engine bay a bit

And yeah thats a BA intake pipe and a BA XR6T snorkel. The normal BA XT and XR6 (non turbo) intake pipes are the same. I have also been told that the territory ones are bigger or something but not to sure if they would fit under the bonnet due to clearance etc. It just runs to a 3" alloy pipe to join it straight into the airbox with a pod on the end and seems to work okay. Would love a nice HPC'd stainless intake though

man that rocker cover loves sweet!!
i think i might have to remove my heat shields and get the extractors repainted :p
ba intake looks very nice and neat.
i forgot to add in at start...the car has blue neons where you rest your feet in the front and back..ill get a pic now and post in 10min or so..

here it is..i really like it.

Do those neons stay on all the time Geoffrey?

Josh

nope got a switch thats nicely hidden just under the handbrake and sticks out next to the seat just enough to switch on and off and still be hidden .

was driving tonight with my sister and switched them on and she done the big WOW..lol...7 year olds will go spastic over anything but haha

Not my kind of mod but yeah not bad.

Josh

fair enough..they came with the car and i reckon there pretty alright so theyll stay for now.

car goes in for roady tomorrow so hopefully everythings ok :S

Dont show them the switch for those neons lol.

Josh

lol true
