Boosted Falcon

Hi,

The mods so far I am doing are:

- NOLATHANE bushes all round
- putting my 3 inch Tip on my 2 and a half inch performance exhaust.
- need to spray my GT Spoiler ready to place on my car.

Thats about all for now

ED - hide in the shed til I get a job and have money to throw at it

EB wagon - pay for it
- pick it up, take it to my mechanic/RWC guy
- get rust fixed and RWC completed
- get it registered
- drive it and look after it (may include V8 skids )

Need advice,
just brought a genuine xr8-1991 model in white with red trimmings such as the stripe and v8 badges, its got no chips
on the paint 5 spd manual and genuine 138000 kms on it no rips on the interior the only aftermarket is the head unit,
not on gas,
im just wondering should i modify the stock as factory xr8 or leave it genuine what are peoples thoughts?

This is for my BA Fairmont Ghia I just bought...

Short term plans:
Lowered (just about done)
Rims (most likely b.boss eleanors)
Twin gauge pod
Few other minor interior/exterior mods

Long term plans:
Underdrive Pulley
CAI
Full exhaust
Tune
Sunroof

My plans are broken gear boxes and scared girlfriends

Current plans

Revision of mine

ED - hide in the shed til I get a job and have money to throw at it - will have job end of month (depending on foot)

EB wagon - pay for it - done
- pick it up, take it to my mechanic/RWC guy - done
- get rust fixed and RWC completed - rust fixed...getting mostly bare metal respray due to epically shite paint (it's an EB, you get that)
- get it registered
- drive it and look after it (may include V8 skids

Also looks like I might be getting the wagon on the road real soon, just waiting for money to clear and then paint will be laid and I will have to drive it back to Wodonga (not keen on this with fresh paint) to do the RWC at my work and have it reg'd sooner rather than later

mine are:

bigger coil
more boost
meth injection
dyno tune
fit UPC brake kit
change diff to au
fit territory rear brakes
line locker in the rear
re bush back of the car
new gear box mount
replace center bearing in tailshaft
more boost!!
new wheels.

slowly... ill get there

Man, people must have some money/time..........

My car is basically stock lol...

Being an L plater I need it to be

Only things that aren't stock are:
1992 EB:

3" stainless Tip

and a 12" Sub, from my Fiance' cant remember what brand I think its a (Kenwood)

Why not, It's a slow day at work!

- Have a cry
- Sell the car claiming 'mint condition, never thrashed'
- Repeat with next car

ED - hiding in shed

EB - replace motor

- RWC & rego

EL - replace dash loom (Fairmont item)

not necessarily in order

Got a few plans for my NC

Firstly to build a nice cruiser
V8 conversion
Rwc/rego
Lowered (SLs)
Exhaust/extractors
Ltd leather and woodgrain
Ltd grill
Wheels

After that to get it breathing better.
70mm throttle body
70mm MAF
CAI
Explorer manifold
GT40p heads
Mild Cam (no idea what yet)
Underdrive pulleys
Tune

Anything else I should consider? This'll be a lot of saving and working to a budget, nor am I intending to build some massive powerhouse.

Over the next few weeks this is the plan for my xr6.

full dash and body loom swap, from XR to Fairmont,
Full Electrics, climate control, courtesy lights, trip meter. etc.

pull engine out, start cleaning the bay up and prepping the car for a spray.

in near future playing with the engine and on a serious note will be happy with 200rwkw N/A.
Bottom End Ideas?
the top end on this engine is pretty set already, apart from most likely upgrading from 977b to the1521A or similar? thoughts?

Cheers Lachy.

Your probably gonna want fair amount of compression and a custom surecam suiting the specs of your entire engine. 200rwkw is a big ask n/a but its been done.

Bf xr6 turbo 300rwkw budget spec.

Smashed out standard cat
Center muffler delete pipes
Diy turbo side intake
Diy battery in tray
Injectors
Pump
Npc clutch kit
Second hand xcal3
Decent but used cooler core
Rapid hot side cooler piping
Tune
