Boosted Falcon

soooo....
i put a deposit on a car tonite.
now i know this isnt a Holden forum, but im a lover of both Holden and Ford.
an 05 VZ Commodore one tonner. V6
if my loan is aprooved, expect to see me and my old man cruisin with u boys







that canopy and the sides of the tray will be coming off, lowerd eventually, cold air intake, extractors, maby a Supercharger if i get the cash
needs a Limo and some 18's aswell i rekon, hehe. gonna b a bit of fun

nice car for a holen

different
put a BA motor in it

put a LS1 in it!

nahhh, i wanna supercharge that 6, throw in some extractors, new exaust, shift kit.
custom wood tray would b nice aswel.... *drools*

oooo
dont worry about that
eventually itll hav an 8

Put a Starfire 4 in it!

Mate of a mates brother has an LS1 tonner, un intercooled vortech on 8psi, auto, 320rwkw.
He took the stock tray off and now has a flat one made out of plywood, capped with aluminium angle.
I haven't been for a spin in it yet, Max/SLOLS1 has.
Apparently it's an interesting ride

Moral of the story?
No LS1, no care.

Put an engine in it!

I was thinking they would have probably sold the ute for a bit more, because of all the tradie's gear on it.
Those canopies, and ladder racks, etc aren't cheap at all.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a stocko ute, without all that gear?

put a rolls royce trent 800 on the back!!!!

picked it up for about 18.
and... stop hangin shit cos its not a V8, i know its not a V8, if i was alowed to drive a V8 i bloody would b =]
so for now its a 6

I would hang shit if someone posted a pic of their brand new FG XR6 (note lack of T) on here.
You are not immune to this.

LS1.

hahaha
fair call.
im not gettin shitty, just stain the point that if i was able to hav the LS1 i wouldnt even think twice =]

Good, long as you know
Good luck with it.

there not even a decent 6!
why didnt u get a ford?

cos fords tend to b a bit on the pricey side of things and its hard to find a base modle that hasnt coped a thrashin.

rekon i could make this tray cmopletely flat??

Mitch - the alloytec isn't that bad with a set of extractors, decent exhaust and a tune in it - the tune is the most important thing though! IIRC a guy on performanceforums had an alloytech190 with the above mods, pre-tune made 180rwhp, post-tune made 220!!!

The best piece of advice I can give you though, is service the crap out of it. The 15,000km intervals are far too long for anyone that isn't doing daily trips from perth to darwin. 10,000km minimum, but I'd do 7,500 oil and filter changes just to be sure.

I've lost count of the number of aloytechs we have had at work with noisy cam phasers, low/no oil pressure, noisy lifters etc because people don't service them enough/at all.

I was thinking the same thing... wouldn't it be cheaper and also easier to get a stock one?

lions pride http://www.holdencarclubs.com.au, vz`s rattle like there thrashed from new.

sell all that junk on the back, then create a nice low tray with wood and shit

You can get a dedicated LPG 2008 BF2 ute, brand new, A/C, Auto for $23,000. Will only be getting cheaper too.
I would hate to know what a new BF2 Tray povo pack is going out the door for now??

sounds like my next replacement for the ed give it couple years i think.

only good thing about it would be the color but thats what i think.

I dont trust cars that are made in Elizabeth.

i dont think he is getting it anymore

burn it !


enough said

had one of the guys at work look at it today, and he rekond the engine is startin to go, musta been thrashed by its previous owner or sumthin.
and mum informed me it also has no warrenty.
lookin at an XH tonner and a BA XR6 at work now. lets see how it all pans out

XH Tonner?? I wanna see this.

Now thats a better choice.

yeh they aree looking for 10k for the tonner or there is a bloke sellin 1 at work for 7k,
im tellin ya mate as i sed dont go something so expensive (ba xr6) u'll be struggling to pay it back, go the xh

yehhh, got a point there Joshi, the XH isnt a cab chas, its a tub with the one tonne suspension kit

looks like your on the right track now, good to hear

hahahaha
id still rather the Holden, its pretty unique being a tonner, and there rnt many around.

If you're tall, don't even consider the XH.
I couldn't drive one for more than 10 mins.
But i found my old AU2 XR8 cheap, sold it cheap too though.

Maybe a AU Pursuit, perhaps get the stroker, they're around 20k or so these days...

lol true. I'm 6"4' and struggle to fit in an XH (my mate Brendan has one). My left knee sort of ends up threaded between the steering column and handbrake.

xh panelvan? way cooler than a ute.

iv got the XH in my driveway at the moment, the guys at work let me take it home for the night, its a bloody nice car to drive, very responsive, *compared to a landcruiser *
i rekon ill go this one =]
