I went to herrod's page, all BA-BF stuff
Aussie Car Enhancements, BA-F stuff again
BPT Motorsport, mainly listed BA-BF stuff

So where are some pages with AU exhaust systems, headers, underdrives etc.
Looked at nearly all the sponsors and its all for new cars. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me or is the G&D website just based around the holdens they have worked on and their holden products. I cant seem to find any ford stuff other then the "Year of the ford" poster?

I have been interested in reading about their products but i cant seem to find much about them through their website.

Anyone have a link to their ford succes stories (other then Caspers :hihi: )?

G&D are certainly the way to go James. There's no mucking around with those guys. Not only have they produced some outstanding results from the Fords, but they know what they're doing and they do it well - simple.

And you cannot beat their customer service. They work with you. Listen to YOUR ideas and work around a budget to suit you. On top of that, they go out of their way to make sure that the work done not only satisfies the customer, but is 110%!! They're also one of the best bunch of guys you'll ever meet. Friendships are easily formed with them which helps when your car is in their hands

Oh and they put up with alot from me. Anyone that can do that are Aok lol :P

James, best thing is to give them a call on Ph: 03-5996-1813.

Krissy.

Hi James, we would be more than happy to talk "AU" to you, our website is... um... a little dated? yes. The new one is looking real good, I’m sure Dave has some more news on that for you guys.

We have intake, exhaust, tuning, engine work both big and small, we have forced induction, brake and suspension upgrades, body kits, we have servicing, in fact... you name it, we can provide.

Integrity is number 1 at G&D, nothing works without it!! So James, feel free to give me a call tomorrow, or PM me your contact number and I will call you. Alternatively you could post up what you’re after here and ill reply with your request.

A couple of things to think about before you start modifying your pride and joy; a/ what are your future goals for your car? ie: do you plan on going forced induction in the future? or "the engines getting a bit tired, id like to build a stroker at some point" or im just looking to make it sound and go a bit harder. b/ what you would like to achieve this time around and with what sort or budget.

These questions best enable us to answer your questions as accurately as possible and gives the best chance of you spending your hard earned money as efficiently as you can.

Regards,

Matt.

Matt is correct, I am dragging the chain with the site.

I do expect the first installment to go up this month. I am currently working on the product section code.

When it does go up I would like everyone's feedback, good bad or otherwise.


Thanks again for your support.


Cheers,


DAVE

Ive had some dealings with mick webb, more bad than good, he has interesting business practices.
Unless your prepared to shell out the $$ before you get anything done suits you, then stay away.
Also the quality of his work is something to be desired, a 75mm throttlebody on a stock au xr8 auto, and he didnt even put the TB together properly...

Depends if you wish to travel to Sydney as well.
There are a few decent workshops in Sydney that can accomodate your needs.
One of them is a site sponsor as well.

Have you called them,I would say they have the gear but the new model gets the preference on the AU.Thats what I found out.also the AU V8 comes out with undersize pulleys on it already.

Ring them up . I sure they could send the bits up & you get someone to fit them for you. If not just save $$$ & take a holiday down to Victoria & get the work done than. You won't be the frist to do that & you won't be last.
