Boosted Falcon

Falling asleep at work so I took a photo of the ''AU corner of the carpark'', went on boostedfalcon as you do. One way to kill the rest of the afternoon!

Ha ha what's your job. Looking good anyway. If I ever needed another front bar, I would definitely look at an xr50.

Freight Forwarding. This is me and a mate from warehouse. Yeah the xr50 front is decent as. I'm buying his bonnet in the near future too

I've never been a fan of AU's (despite going and buying one!) but they are growing on me.

Maybe we need an ASOC??

Anyone able to post my pic of an AU with the ugly removed?

Thanks! The only time I was dirty on the AU was when it was released (I was 7) lol.

I love the AU Fairlane it's such a cruiser.

Whats ASOC

This one?

Must every post about the AU be trolled beyond recognition. You'd cop less flak posting a picture of a Hyundai XL and asking oppinions

All posts thus far have been relevant?

Regarding members cars as ugly on a forum specifically promoting regional Ford/Falcon interest isn't relevant. It's obnxious.

Unless it's for chuckles, giggles or hehe's.

No one has called your car ugly.

67rce used to own an AU XR8.

OP posts pic of AU, preempts ugly bashing before any ugly bashing occurs. Not sure if SRS.

The last time I officially shat myself was when I was 13.

Matchbox did an AU...should add one to my collection

Yep, I had a manual AU XR8.

Generally like this:

LMFAO!!

and 67rce, wtf happened to that xr8?

That's with the ugly left. I think with the ugly gone is generally called a BA

Hilux hit me from behind at 60km/h punching me into an Ovlov..... Bent the LH Chassis Rail.....

That gets rid of the ugly

I lol'd

AU's are the underdogs...

AU's are the shit when modded right.

Still ugly but

2 good things about the AU.
The engine/suspension/steering wheel fits e-series, and it made Ford pull their finger out to build the BA.

some people like em some people don't i guess, just like everything else. I think they are great reliable and good looking cars when a bit of money is put into them

I like em when they're done right. Esp the mk3 fronts. Te/Tl as well.

People say the AU IRS is actually better than BA+. Dunno if it's true tho.

Isn't the AU IRS lighter? And not prone to camber issues?

I've been campaigning this for years!! So much that I am now onto my fourth! Just cos some people don't agree with the looks, you are missing out on the best handling Falcon (pre-FG) and most comfortable, best looking interior.

hahahahahahahaha..

They're nice to drive, but the interior is polarizing. A lot don't like it some do. Funnily enough I do like AU XR's (series 2 & 3). The t-series are up and above the AU, they don't count. I don't like the front of the AU's apart from XR.

But we all love having someone or something to bag out. The AU is this

EDIT: I blame the Y2K bug for AU hate

T2 T-Series were the best looking AU's. T3's looked good at the start but the design has started looking a bit cheap with age.

was never a real fan of au sedans, until this

couldnt agree more alex, i think yours and dean's look great. zac told me you got your walls re-done, look great..thick as!

im not a huge fan of the overly-rounded front ends, like on that yellow/gold whatever XR.

and its definately true about the handling, a friends old ba xr6 handle'd no where near as good as my au does. another mates got a ba xr6 ute, that seems to handle about the same.

then again mines lowered, and who knows how they have done it..

this is another nice example of a well done (non xr) AU, lives right around the corner from me,



in all honesty though, when i bought my au, i was planning to sell my wagon, and mainly got mine (which was a steal) because it looked half new still.

but after time it grew on me.. i like alot of people was iffy on the front end (everyone loves the au ass right??) but damn it grew on me. love it now.

probably the premium fuel it always runs.

nah, im guilty of putting lpg in it a couple times back when it was on work duty

Lol!!

Hardly any AU's look good. The ones above go alright though.

Utes look better, at least the rear half isn't horrible.

T series kits stopped being cool 6 years ago.

I like the AU interiors. Series 1 was horrible but series 2 base spec is way better than e series base spec. AU ghia owns all e series too.

I'd get another if I wanted a $2000 ford for some reason.

agreed, Series 1 dash in "Grandpa Grey" oh ****, what an abortion.

all the base spec interiors look shiite.

the upper spec stuff looks pretty nice though, AU LTD interiors look like a damn nice place to sit

They do grow on you after a while. I wasnt a huge fan of the body looks to start with but i got mine cheap back in the day.
Now I have 2 of them I own a series I XR6 and Series II Fairmont Wagon and my partner has a Series III XR6 so we have a collection of them in the driveway.

AU IRS is double wishbone, dual rear diff mounts, single front. It is a good setup.

Lighter? HELL NO! Close to 200kg without brakes/oil. It's a heavy son of a bitch. Camber issues are negligible.
