Here's some cool pic's of Felicia's current and previous Falcons, sent in by her husband, Cliff. The red EA Fairmont Ghia is a lesson in working to a budget with the bill so far coming in at under $7200 including the purchase price of the car!!! It has the 3.9 litre SOHC multi point EFI six (the same one that had more power than HSV's V6 Crapadore at the time - in spite of all the advertising) except this one goes quite a bit faster thanks to a few well placed mods. Included in it's arsenal is a Crow cam, headers and 2.5inch system with hi-flow cat along with uprated chip, Uni Filter foam air cleaner and ICE coil wound ignition leads. Other mods include a body kit, new wheels, suspension mods, a sun roof and all the usual Ghia options.
Enough to ensure Felicia is able to give a Commodore driver or two a fright. - As Cliff says "from 60kph stays comfortably with a fuel injected V8 Commodore..." Cliff tells the cam was actually a regrind - and at only $184 comes in as a great buy. "A vast improvement over the standard cam, moved the power down 1000rpm and increased it right through the rev range...the coil wound ignition leads were a really good idea, improved idle, and smoothed out the power but the best buy was the air cleaner, ($54 including a bottle of oil). - Gives 700 more revs, improves power and driveability as well as fuel economy..." Thanks Cliff...
The second picture was Felicia's car before she owned the EA, a totally original XD ESP Fairmont Ghia, complete with 351, 4 speed and LPG. Great to see a lady who knows her cars...enough to make us all jealous! Go Felicia!!!
