Some of them have been doing stuff to Territory Diesel/XR5 Focus/ST Fiesta/ST Focus etc so they will just move onto other cars. Plus its not like when 2016 comes that Falcon and Commodore completely disappear off the face of the earth, there will still be people with them wanting work done and development will continue into the future. |

Will Performance Mods go with Folden Closure? No, it will get bigger as enthusiasts will again capitalise on the situation rebuilding more newly found wrecks trying to cash in on a end of a era & "collecters status" etc.

Modern cars have horrendously tight packaging and associated tech. with ever shorter model runs....interesting times....

Its all in the little tricks you pick up through experience. I've got a modified Focus: - Bigger front mount IC - Airtec Gen3 - Eibach Pro-kit 30mm lower springs - Bilstein B8 shortened shocks all around - Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar - OEM Focus HID headlights retrofitted If I was keeping the car for longer than I plan to I was going to get a turbo back exhaust and a tune but I'm coming close to the time where I'm going to get rid of it. There are people out there who modify cars other than Falcon/Commodore lol. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 29-12-2013 at 11:42 AM. |

Accelerating change in motive forces (can't REALY call them all engines) transmissions, fuels not to mention the undeclared 'niche wars' going on between the old enemy S Korea and Japan, already makes yr head spin....tough to keep up already....

Some insane mods being made to 911s and GTRs all the way down to Golfs and smaller. These things can go around a circuit like nothing else. The Folden mod scene has been around for a while but I think the tuner organisations have seen the writing on the wall long time a go and spread their reach to other makes to ensure they can accomodate anyone.

GM have previously not been able to get a business case for Camaro to be built in RHD cause the numbers are too small. Can't really see that changing. |
