Boosted Falcon

Hello people. My name is Ben, a friend of mine suggested I join this site because he is sick of me asking him questions about falcons.

My first car was a centrepoint 5 speed ea s pack... then I bought a tickford xr6 ed, with the the pointless wing and big side kits, DAMN I liked it though. But I sold it because the money I would need to spend on turboing it to do tens, I could spend on a starndard r1 and have change. Now I've got that out of my system I am foaming at the bit to get back into another e series. My current daily is a standard 99 au.

So... my biggest predicament atm is wether to get a mates eb II xr8 or a eb/ed xr6. I am leaning towards buying an xr6 manual but my mates xr8 is growing on me, only prob is its an auto. How hard is it to come by a 5 litre bell housing? Or manual conversions?


This is the xr8 - its a genuine xr8... is it normal not to have the twin headlight front?

EB's didnt not come with the XR front only ED's mate. IIRC.

Welcome aboard.

Hi, welcome to the site.
I reckon you should get another eb/ed xr6/8, cause they are an awesome car!
and to answer your question, eb's didn't have the twinlight front, only ed xr6/8 had the twinlight front.

welcome dude...you've made the right choce joining this site is great for addvise/ideas.
enjoy.

i think you should go for the ed the twinlight front end ftw.

boost this.. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT

not too keen on a wagon thanks anyway, i think the ed xr front rocks but they are harder to find. i will have to make my mind up soon though he is holding the xr8 for two more weeks. hope a silver ed xr6 manual comes up sooooooooon
thanks all

Welcome other butch3r, either boxcar will be a win!

I know it's not the real Butcher. But this guy is close enough.

If your going to boost it ... The auto is stronger.. T5's fail with any boost ...
T5/6's are getting cheaper now second hand..
My son went through many T5's.. I told him the more power you have.. An auto is more fun..
He fitted a stout C4 .. Says its the best thing he's done..
Runs constant 11's..On stock AU engine...
No worries...

Welcome to boosted.
Im sure if you have a research in the Showroom and build thread you will find alot of ideas to do to cars

OOPS... did i steal someone else's name??? lol. Haha but I am a real butcher.

That red xr looks awesome, bit too far away though I am in Brissy QLD.

Thanks for the advice, later on tonight I am gonna have a fish around the forums for more ideas.
