Boosted Falcon

Hi, Bevan here, from Rotorua NZ, I'm 30 years young, have had a few Fords before MK 5 cortina sport, XB through to XF utes and XD fairmont, bought this car over 2 years ago for 5 grand stock standard, was off to Hamilton to look at EB2 V8 but this was on side of road in town, drove it and grabbed it.
Got coby 2 1/2 exhaust no cat (dont need one here) and headers put tip on not long ago, pod filter on stock intake for now.
Bought the 18 inch drift r's and got free lowered springs thrown in, rapped.




to do list:
In process of putting on boss bulge with working exit at rear or bulge to vent eccess heat from engine bay(going to do before and after temps to see if much difference)
3" intake
got to buy head and port polish and cam and swap over to keep on road,
I might try find whole engine or wrecked ef/el and make up turbo spec engine so to swap over quicker
of course few more bits and pieces on the way. Unfortunately this may take a couple of years but I can still enjoy the car ad go on club runs in the mean time.
Just joined the ford muscle car club in Tauranga had one run with them had fun, next we got day at race track so cant wait to give it a decent run and see how it handles right on the edge without worrying bout lamp posts and the fuzz etc

Looks nice mate... love the drift r's. Very sexy. Whats the story behind the plates..?

Last name Dunlop so mates shortened it, now its stuck everyone knows me as it

looks nice, take it easy on the upcoming track day though..... buggered brakes & blown headgasket comes to mind

yep, giving the full once over, servicing trans too but definately wont be driving it like a full on race car

might as well fit a big trans cooler while your at it, because it wont take long to boil the fluid in the auto if your punting it around the track

cheers,good idea. its not till the 27th so I may as well fit one now, good insurance

im using a Derale cooler which is fairly large, but will be replacing it with this PWR i got from Repco for $150 which is a bit overpriced but wasnt much choice at the time. Also get it to bypass the radiator which can save future headaches if the radiator fails and mixes auto fluid with coolant

also would help get coolant temp down too, I think i've got one at work i'll see if it fits

nice looking mont you got mate, you dont live to far from where i used to live. (hawkes bay, napier)

Kester you would love it another Kiwi on the site for you to chat too.
Gotta love the Drift r's i have a set of mine on the xf at the present moment .

had to be at least one ex kiwi round here, there's enough there even my sis has moved over, still not bad over this side of ditch and as sterling would know places as good as napier not to far away just over 2 hours.
I've always liked the tough 5 spoke mags had to put them on when i saw 'em.

looks very mint!

cgeers man, had to buy when i saw it nothing else came close to being as good.

only thing that need to be done is off with the mud flaps

tried taking off mud flaps couldn't bring myself to it, all i could see was the paint getting wrecked by stone chips...
Couple pics of wedding I done for some friends spent day and half cleaning,
Any thoughts on the chrome grill? looked good for wedding anyway

another kiwi, good stuff...

must have been a mag n turbo deal for the wheels and springs was it?

drift Rs are a damn nice rim, and they suit your 'mont.




good game tonight aye

has a nice stance i like

At last they stopped playing like school boys ay, yep mag and turbo tauranga good guys over there, the ones in rotorua less than good so far...
couple of kiwi's here good to see

I like the EF chrome grills

I used to have one, I miss it.. now I have an EL ghia grill, too big imo.

finally got a bit done on bonnet, still needs rub down and top coat of proper colour

nice bulge, would have been better if it was bigger so you could fit gauges under it.

i remember the old VK commodores with the reverse cowel scoop that you could fit gauges in, using smoked face gauges you couldnt seem them until they were turned on

Looks good mate.
Keep up the good work on it

bit of an update, got the wife a car to run around in (legacy wagon) now got car to myself. Fitted large transcooler, made up steam pipe equal(ish) length turbo man. got intercooler and turbo,45mm external gate, saving up for J3 chip and tuner, and fuel pump, injectors and I think i'll be able to put it together!
First another track day this sunday hopefully its damp so I can keep up with some 8's.

Hey mate,
Nice monty! Looks great with the bulge and the chrome grill looks good too..
Keep up the good work
