hey guys, thought id start a thread up for my car.. it wont really be a steady build thread as im only young and only in a part time job at the moment, tryin to fit in school too..

soo heres the deal.
i bought this car off my parents.
its a 1999 series 1 au fairmont ghia, with a 5L V8 under the bonnet ONLY DONE 94,000!... ive got alot of plans for this car and most of them will stay dreams for a while but hopefully they will all come true one day..
full leather interior, premium sound with 2 12" 500watt subwoofers getting a pretty decent sound.

my plans:
HPC coated 4006's
18% tint
twin 2 1/2 system with hi flow cats
trickflow trackheat intake manifold/phenolic space
70mm edelbrock tb
possibly bigger MAF?
1.6 or maybe 1.7 YT rr's
crane 2030/2031 and springs to suit
AFR 165cc heads
blower?
19" ba gt-p rims
whitewalls
dump on ssl's/monroe gt sports shocks
remove spoiler
nightshade tail lights
chrome side mirror scalps
clean up engine bay
SLOW302/XYTMONT plates

so far i havent really done much, the car was in a crash on australia day, the rear was mangled! altezza lights were put in because of this and i wanna black them out basically.. ive got a 2 1/4" catback system, getting a pretty nice note.. clear side indicators, blue interior lights, new headunit.. just pretty basic stuff at the moment.

now its time for some pics!





just messin with a homemade fisheye lense lol.. need XYTMONT, not XITMONT




ill try to keep this thread updated, even if its just random pictures and little bits i do to the car.. hope you guys like it!

not a bad AU you have there.

definately not a fan of the tail lights though.

thanks mate, i hate the lights too, hence why im gonna give em a few coats of nightshades..

forgot to mention in the top post that shes only done 94,000k's too!


just thought that was a nice photo.. looks better enlarged but pretty poor quality from the upload..

and now this is all just pretty exciting..

Just a pity your number plates read exit instead of excite eh?
Agreed on the tail lights, altezza doesn't do it for me, the tint should fix em up.

haha yeh, but if you read it like X I T its kinda like x eyet? thats why im getting the y instead lol.

pretty roughly cleaned the thing ontop of my intake today.. turned out alright for a 5 minute job. it was the same as the intake manifold before i started..

plan on doing it to the rest of the manifold and then painting the rocker covers ford blue!

normally i wouldnt bother posting in, but XYTMONT reads to me as
Ex-white mont.

actually, it reads as a jumble, but then after trying a bit harder i get the above

*shrugs* your call

Nice AU aye.

and thanks I wanted to know how crap my XR would look like with clear tail lights lol...

"WHY-***" lol nice.

WHY DO NUMBER PLATES ONLY HAVE TO HAVE SEVEN LETTERS
its so tricky ahah

and the lights are going soon, im getting the series 2 lights with red top and clear bottom, and im gonna nighshade the red bit! should look pretty nice

series I and II taillights look the same to me??

the series one forte had yellow indicators..and the fairmonts had the clear indicator

the series one except for fairmont had yellow indicators. The Fairmonts had the clear indicator which is pretty much became the standard tail light for II and III but mid 00 it was random some sII models got sI tail lights and spoilers some SII got SI spoilers and SII lights.

Series 1 Standard Tail lights (excluding Fairmonts and T Series)

what about leaving the o out of mont maybe and you get

XCITMNT

looks like xcitement then

Not sure how you go but as nicco said is not very obvious...

Cheers,
Tim

yeh, the s1 fairmonts had the clear indicator also.. just figuring itd be cheaper to get non fairmont ones even though they the same, just the fairmont name makes it cost more lol..

and yeh, i want the emphasis to be on the MONT so its not excitement, its excite MONT

as much as i'd like to sell my altezzas to get funds for new ones, im keeping them in case the popo decide to pick on my for my tinted ones, ill just chuck them back on for a few weeks.. $30 each is a very reasonable price. id be happy to pay that. theyre getting sanded down and painted anyway so the condition isnt really the most important factor, although nice ones would be good.
