  1. Yes has Genie extractors and dual exhaust.....drive through a tunnel is music to my ears....Top Speed on freeway was 240KM/H or 150MPH.

    No need to change gear to pass cars.....put foot down and listen to secondaries open up......I took out the radio because it sounds so good.

    Has outlasted girlfriends and my other cars.

    I wanted one since I was 8 YO...started saving when I was 10 YO....Purchased when 17 YO. Thats dedication!!

  2. I left school in 1984. I bought a 1974 XB Ford Fairmont 2 Door Hardtop. $4400.

    Specs:

    302c.i. (4.9L) Cleveland V8

    C4 Automatic 3 Speed Transmission

    GS Rally Pack

    Power Steering

    Air-Con

    I rebuilt the motor in 1988

    Engine Spec :

    351c.i. (5.8L) Cleveland V8

    High Nodular Iron Crank to increase capacity from 302 to 351c.i.

    Aluminium single plane manifold (huge weight saver)

    Open chamber heads. Closed chamber heads cause ping with the shit fuel around.

    Custom profile cam by Gary Willmington (used to race these cars)

    4 650CFM Barrel Holley Carby with Vac Secondaries

    High volume oil pump

    Dual row timing chain

    Aluminium Water PumP. (Huge weight saver)

    Bosch Electronic Ignition Kit (No more points bullshit)

    Replaced Auto with 4 Speed Single Rail Manual Transmission with dual plate clutch. Close ratio special box from XD ESP. Lighter and cheaper than Top Loader.

    2.92:1 Diff from XB Ute....Unbreakable and lighter than 9" Diff (Cheaper too)

    Heavier front and installed rear anti roll bar...Gas Sshocks and lowered and harder front springs.

    I still have this car........great fun to drive. I have owned it for 21Years and will never sell it.

  3. A great little place on Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya Rd) I think it was between Soi Bukhao and 3rd Rd.....It is on the right side of road if looking towards the beach.......Fixed my Canon Video Camera which blew a tiny IC on a hot day....I Just put old sim in phone....Phone Number...038723527....They are very cluey, fast and cheap......I think they sent a guy on a motorbike to bangkok canon to get the part.....it was as big as half a matchhead.....cost around 1000B if I remember.....please tell me how you went.
