You can survive it, I'm sure

As a side note my Holden mate got blown off by a ricer today :thumbdown LOL @ Him

Geez Ford Man, thats abit of a depromotion abit scummy by the company for sure.

Well as long as you don't get a holden it's all cool. BTW nice ute that you had there, hehehe got the same wheels as my baby. How many inch's did you lower it by??? I'm guessing 2.5inch's.
Must have gone pretty quick as well being a ute.

2.5 inches on the nose EF... good guess!!..
My best mate had a VH 308 Group 3 Brock with the HP motor (210kw from memory), and it killed him on a few occations. Mind you when I drove it, it killed everything in sight!! He was a bit timid with his right foot until I taught him how to drive the sucker.. hehe..

Work are currently trying to give me a Holden Rodeo for work use (Home garaging, NO private use), but I've told them to jam it in their clacker. I'm pushing to get a Falcon XLS Cab chassis ute for the better cab security for my tools I'll let you know how I get on..

 

[Cobber]

Your first Ute looks pretty schmick, but I'd be pushing for the XLS, that would be really sweet! Good luck!

Thanks mate. I'm hoping to get the steel tray instead of the aluminium jobbie. Bit of extra weight for the drive days..

Is that a Festiva? !?!?!?!?!?!?!
Wholly macrolandy, sweet Moses, the biggest piece of junk ever created made it over to Australia??? Ford Man, no offense intended really, Im just shocked at the fact that Ford -instead of trying to hide their biggest mistake- they exported it to another continent. Really, I appologize in the name of the US.

Anyways, just wanted to say whats up...

Sure is.. proudly built by the Kia Motor Company. We've been really lucky with it *touch wood*, no dramas at all and we've had it for 2 years now.

Isn't it meant to be Waaassssuuuupppp!!??????... :thumbup:

 

[Guest]

Actually, thats whuuzzzzzzzzzzzuuup!!!!! I was just carefully avoiding terms you guys may not understand being here in the Aussie section...

 

[Aussie Falcon]

An ex girlfriend used to own an auto Festiva, she had to turn off the aiconditioning to get decent power up a hill

Fordman, have you considered doing some mods on your Festiva, here are some good suggestions http://www.silinsspecialvehicles.com.au/ford_ex.htm :wink2: :wink2:

 

[FM]

Phwoar!!... Now that's ricey!!...

I made sure we got a manual when we bought it. It's gutless enough as it is without being an auto!!..

 

[FTEfan]

Ah the festy. Great fun to blow off the road in the Mazda 121! About the only damn thing that was slower then the 121 normally. You think the festy bodykit was rice? Checkout the stuff for the Mercedes van from the same guys.

 

[XR_Strider_GuY]

ahh mate talk about ricer stereo types, geez Evo 5 kit on festiva come'on, on even goin to comment on it. :WH: :WH: :WH:
Hehehehe with all that crap on the car will it even make it to 80kmph.

 

[FM]

Hehehehe with all that crap on the car will it even make it to 80kmph.

Hehe.. thinking of bolting a blower to her so I can get the power up to 75kw!!... haha oh that hurts!!..
Nothing like pulling this piss outta yourself is there!!... :wink2:

 

[XR_Strider_GuY]

Hehehe,

I'm pretty cool with people driving these so called compact cars, as long as they use it as intended. By meaning if they do not try to mod it. Or even more make it ricey, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I mean these cars do save fuel etc, but when you start to mod it then i say get a falcon....

Ok. New work bus was ordered today. XLS styleside ute, 5spd, air, CD, Cruise, ABS and 17" XR wheels. Be interesting to see if the 17's make it on to the car or are removed from the options list by some nasty person from fleet. I'll lets ya's know in a month or so if they turn up on the car!!..
