Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 5th, 2009, 7:27 pmBest part about the car is the legalities of it.
not to mention how full featured and well done it is.
Would be a fantastic car to do track days in!
thats what its built for.

Hell yeah
This cars had some history, and i'ld hate to see it get into the hands of an asshat who prangs it or does something stupid to it.

Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 5th, 2009, 9:14 pmDoes anyone know if there is a build thread on this somewhere?

Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 5th, 2009, 9:16 pmthats the first ea that i really liked... cant argue with 450ish kw in one of the lightest falcons ever made...
Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 5th, 2009, 9:45 pmI remember back when I was around 5 or 7, my dad told me about this EA towing a caravan faster than any caravan has been towed before... that would of been about 1997 - 1999... I think we have the magazine around somewhere too.
I hope it goes to a good home, just put away on display somewhere where it cant be crashed.

Posted: April 5th, 2009, 10:38 pm30k! you could buy 30 EA's for that lol.

Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 6th, 2009, 9:41 amYEah he lost it for 2 years . I was speaking to him yesterday about this.
He doesnt really want to get rid off but he doesnt want it to sit there and do nothing for 2 years.
He will have this out at easternats i believe

Posted: April 6th, 2009, 3:59 pmi wonder if its still running 32psi boost
Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 6th, 2009, 4:01 pmno its not... its running mid 20's.
Re: WTF: Farken AVO turbo for sale
Posted: April 6th, 2009, 4:32 pmso at 32psi it would be getting close to 700hp at the wheel. .
power curve is awesome, the torque is off the scale, this is very likely the best engineered e series falcon engine to date.
and its street legal sigh ......close to perfection

Posted: April 6th, 2009, 7:08 pmI think the magazine article said that it spent 6 years in Japan doing track work before the motor blew up because the owner hadn't done any maintenance on it at all. It was bought back here and rebuilt/repaired.
