Most of the work I do, is at my work, I work for a Auto/Diff/Radiator company.

All this work has been manily carried out myself .. by a chick!!! woot! hehehe

Now, stuff it needs

Sounds the goods. I hope your bringing this up when you pick up the parts

I put a BA falcon exhaust cover on the mainfold, had to angle grind a little off, but it makes the engine bay look so much better!!

forgot to mention, it was dyno-ed at work, and had 141rwkw and 420nm I will scan the print out this afternoon...

Laticia!

hey again, I did not like the indicator lights that used to come on with the head lights when your turning, so I've wired them up to a ACC so they are day running lights. I think it looks good with just parkers on and the bottom lights on during the day .....

The mod I'm going to do today, is use my car alarm, to keep the thermos's running for 30sec's after you turn off the motor ... Does anyone know if the fans come on with a Neg or Pos power???

Nice lane!!

May i ask why you want to keep the fans running after you turn the car off?
Are you fitting a turbo or what?
I dont mean to be rude, it wouldent hurt to have the fans running for 30 seconds after you shut the car off it just normally you do it on a car with a turbo aswell as keeping the motor running to cool down the turbo

Josh

Thanks! I think it rocks for a chicks car!!! No stupid pink paint on it!!!

my alarm system has aux outs, that can be send power i.e. to keep healights on. to 30sec's 60sec's 90'sec when armed,
Or, if that fails me, i've got a turbo timer kit which im gonna try and make!!!

Laticia!

will just put uneccessary load on the battery

so what you saying is your fans will turn off when the car is switched off and come on again when you arm the alarm, i agree with fordfairmont.

people might think there is a problem under there i would reconsider it

no no, not quite, the fans will only come on for 30secs when you turn the key off. then they turn off after 30sec's (like a turbo timer), i have another temp sensor that will only turn the fans on for 30 secs when its warm enough....

so they wont come on when you turn the key off unless the temp is over a set temp
