your best mod

[TOASTED]

people i thought id start a thread for us all to discuss our current mods and which one has proved the "biggest bang fo your buck".

we can also discuss which mods worked best with our current mods. eg chip and tune worked really well with cam and greatly increased performance but cost $1400 installed.

probably my "B.B.F.M.B" mod was my DEV5 cam. unfortunately no dyno figures.

[Dezza]

T5 conversion. It gave the car a new lease on life.

[Rob]

new motah = it's a different car now

T5 - as Dezza said, Falcons feel sloooow until you try a T5

BFYB (Bang for your buck) - Thermofans, cost bugger all, car felt so much better.

[EF Hoon]

im going to have to go with the above posts as well, EA T5, nice short ratios..

[Nikked]

leaving my GL-I and getting a XR6

[DEVL-XR]

For me the Pacemaker extractors second hand, gave the car a lot more pulling power but I'd probably have to go with the 1673 Wade regrind cam. The power increase was great and the idle sounds very tough, especially on cold starts it's lumpy as!

[DBourne]

depends.

i'd view my brake upgrade (from stock to slotted fronts with EBC's) my best upgrade. gives you a thousand times more confidence in the car.

short shifter has made the t5 feel a lot better as well and is much more fun to change gears...

catback made the car sound a lot nicer so made me happy for quite some time.

Cam has made the car have a much nicer power curve.

so all those mods have been the "best" in their own little way.

If i had to pick 1, i'd say the brakes

[EA2BA]

for power would be the EL ecu install, 4speed auto and 3.23 diff
for fun would be the BA shifter install

[Gohan]

mine would have to be the Cat Back on my Wreck of a Mont for Sound! or mounting the Tickford wing on the back for looks

In terms of visual mods, the Scorcher bar was my best mod. It took the car from looking old and worn out, to looking great! The extra panelbeating on the bonnet and new numberplate helped too.

THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS THE BEFORE YES DEZ? LOL

my best bang was the drive train, not sure which part, au2 motor , t5 or 4.11 mini spool diff.

[Dezza]

lol Dylan. Definately

[WiggyMK2]

t5 conversion would have to be my best mod to date, followed closely by the AU motor

[BADEF-6]

LPG for me. opens the door right open for getting good power with no issues to worry about with the ecu ect and its cheap fuel for better diff gears

[vermiltina]

i rekon removing the clutch fan, cost me nothing coz already had a thermo, more pick up from the start and revs more freely thru out the rev range and doesnt have that god awful noise. visualy would have to be my xr front althou the paint is cool too.

sorry this is 1flyryd using vermiltinas computer.

sorry that was actually me lol

[Nostalgia]

I have no mods in the go department but i have recently upgraded from the original cassette player to a Kenwood CD player and Pioneer 6x9's.

Im currently looking at buying a smashed EB. I want the 4.0. If anyone needs parts just PM me.

[FTe342]

In my TE the headers/exhaust, Unichip, alloy heads, camshaft were each worth an average of 15rwkw.

But from a driveability viewpoint the short shifter and 5th gear ratio change get the nod

I've been thinking about gas too.. but I know nothing about gas setups :(

[Swinny03]

my zorst tip has been my best mod oh now i can change my signuture haha

[Booka]

Hole in zorst or T5

[Aaron_EF8]

I fixed the cigarette lighter.

[vermiltina]

its too hard to choose, exterior wise i would have to think the new paint, body kit combo would be it, on the go side of things i think that it will be my new atomic engine thats on the way..

So did I, now it's fun burning my mates with it when they get annoying! :evil3:

[Muscle_Inc]

Well for me it was selling the EF 6cyl i had and buying the EL V8.....Though still the EF proved to be a fantastic car during the period it was in my possession

As for mods i could mention all the extras i added to the car but i believe the best mod is a complete and thorough service. The benefits from a ''major'' service is definetely rewarding and a bang for my buck!

[stalker]

t5 conversion nuf said

[Jason[98.EL]]

after that i would say the shift kit ( thanks gav )

jason

[BADEF-6]

everything below

[Sick EB]

i recon it would have to be my wheels and lowering. brings up the look of the car 100 times. the car looks faster than it is with the wheels on lol.
