Boosted Falcon

so basically im over an e series and as a p plater cant do anything with my old and busted to make it much more fun soloution...

old and busted


teh new hotness






introducing my very own 2007 BF MKII falcon ES with a ZF 6 Speed

very clean car and dead stock, nothing better than a clean canvas picked her up thismorning with just over 154xxx and full service history beautiful car to drive with sporty exterior and fairmont interior

Love it!

upgrades on the table are exhaust, cams, tune, suspension and rims possibly but not in any particular order its just a wish list atm

What's in the ES package?

fairmont interior with premo sound, 6 speed and semi xr exterior
i got it mainly cause i fell in love with the dash as apposed to xr dash's

Best of both worlds then!

so driving this thing around i decided its a love hate relationship with DSC and am unsure if it has LSD or not... its spun both on me but im not convinced

if no lsd thats on the upgrade list too and alter the sound system lol

i like the bf2's, even the povo pack ones look all right with bf2 headlights and stuff. good pick up.

Don't think I've heard of or even seen one of these? Weird. Nice one.

They were the usual late model runout packs..

so got some quotes today repco want $1200 for all new suspension with king spring lows + whatever the caster camber kit is
$70 for dash mat
and decided i want to replace the steering wheel with a momo one $400,

dash mat and steering wheel is a must! lol

pm justin, tuffcarparts, he will give you a damn good price.

Lowering that car should be first on your to do list.

Do it yourself and save money maybe? the rear springs are real easy and fronts are pretty strait forward if you have spring compressors and a good socket set.


What is XR about that exterior though?

Very nice anyway, 6 speed and climate control, premo sound... its got all the good bits

i was cruising thru carsales today and found quite a few and was thinking wtf too...

i googled it but couldnt find anything on them...

looks like a nice car, just a question, does that have a colour display? as i said before, i was on carsales and saw one and it had a big screen but didnt look like it was a colour one... as far as i knew, big screen meant colour screen, little screen meant meant non colour...
just wonderin

Not colour screen, and I should say semi sporty body kit lol, I plan on lowering myself I have al the goods to do so 2x 1/2" socket sets, $600 impact gun and spring compressor at work

Right down the bottom is es info

So looking at the suspension on offer im stuck between lows and superlows,
leaning towards lows because much less fucking around with wheeel alignment especially with the irs...

And im unsure about rear wheel alignment adjustment on this yet so any ideas would.help thanks for looking

So I get 50% better economy out of this than my eb which is what I love most

But anywho still getting prices for things I can get it re-tinted for.200 through work B-) im thinking 1 or.2 shades darker than legal cause everyone knows white cars are mint with dark tint.

Comparing this to the 2010 work car a VE omega it is infinitely better and corners tons better where the VE feels like its nose heavy around corners, there is also more feel through the.steering and it actually needs traction control haha

It won't have a LSD. Defiantly go darker then legal with the tint if your game, mines got legal & its disappointing.

Yer im 100% no lsd so for now DSC stays on haha time for more research lol

Im.more than game lol but it screams dark tint haha 2 shades darker sounds decent enough lol but ill check it out

Nice car. 6spd's are the go. Transforms how they drive.

Don't bother with 'lows'... You'll get bugger all difference in height.

I was thinking that earlier because according to ford it has sports suspension allready so lows will.make it a rougher ride but not noticeably lower

Yeah it won't be much difference.
Yours should have alright shocks in it as is. Just needs lower spring to make it look better.

That red EB is very familar think I seen you around ippy in the past

You probs have mate I live there haha gunna be sad not driving it anymore, you werent the xr6 I tried to give a go.at around 7ish am once were ya lol

so after gathering prices this is what ive come up with for now

$1600, $799 extractors, $185 for CAT, $480 for 2.5" redback fitted + pacie and cat fitment
$1250 to lower with new koni shocks + $150 for wheel alignment adjustors from pedders and free wheel alignment at work lol
$200 for tint, work again B)
$500 for new remote and key OMFG!!! but i need a spare
$1500 for stereo speaker upgrade and
$120 for AUX input from ford

so im saving a bit and using my tax lol

thanks for looking

so ive sorta not done anythiing to this yet, except keep it clean and now ive decided on wanting leather seats

so i found this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHER-SEAT ... 3cb2031b81

seems like a pretty decent deal for $600

With all them mods you've listed, I reckon you could do it all cheaper if you can do stuff for yourself and look around for parts... $1500 is a lot for a stereo, i guess you can pay $600 for a set of front splits etc but a lot of people probably wont hear the difference... can definitely get a stereo that will cause hearing damage for that money lol.

Exhaust could be done cheaper, maybe just stick with a cat-back and pay less than $250 for an exhaust? My mate used a XR-6 T exhaust (twin 2.25" pipes) on his N/A falcon and paid $150 including a cat for the whole lot + $60 for a custom pipe to make his cat attach to his manifold.. and it sounded good too.. maybe a little quiet on idle but a good note when you got up it.

Get a remote from the wreckers.

Look around for parts to lower your car with, I reckon that could be done cheaper too. I know someone who bagged his falcon for less using new parts

Red leather wont suit in my opinion, unless you only meant you'd get them guys to do a custom job? They look pretty nice.

Custom job, black bolsters with charcoal centre and 'ES' embroided on them, that is what Im leaning towards just to change it up from all black

all the mechanical I can do myself

The remote is the cheaper part haha, but stereo is an overestimation

I could lower just replacing the springs but id rather do.things right with this car

Those bloody remotes and keys are expensive hey!!!
I've got a spare new pad and blank key left over from my old car, might be able to stoke a deal??

-Danny

Sounds intriguing because when I asked at ford they quoted just under 400ish just for a key supplied cut n code and said with a remote about 500

so both these parts brand new? How many buttons on the remote need a 4 button remote for this

u have a bf2 why not a fg flip key?
my brother has one i got it for him for around $250ish (thats the key blank and remote) u can program the remote urself and the key blanks are like $30 to get cut and u code them urself aswell its in the owners manual.
cheers josh.

Cant code as I only have 1 key with the vehicle 2 are required

beautiful car man the zf is an awesome gearbox! same p plate situation here lol. xr skirts would really set it off as would ultralows

yer its is nice im looking at getting front end realised and roof, previous drivers seemed to failure and its riddled with stone chips, my mod plans have been left on the backburner but I get a pay rise next week so gotta fix up a few things than can start on making it handle and making it sexyer

currently im thinking black rims with custom white lip and unsure of spring combo im thinking ssl rear sl front? The rims I had in mind are koya inox voyage I think? Staggered 19s

My.theme is black and white simple and elegant

So things have been slow with this but decided to make a small mod, and remove my number plate surrounds also got a very thorough clean, turtle wax ice detailing spray is the best invention ever.
Anyways pics

Parkers

Headlights

Number plate lights

Interior before

Interior after, its white ok!! Not blue

All clean


Interior after
All c

Tint got done today


New 18%

thought i should update i ran this down the drags friday a week ago, in full street inc spare tyre and jack

got a best of 15.1 at 91 mph first run, no burnout. then pulled a 15.2 2nd run, 15.3 3rd and back to 15.2 last run.

not bad for a 190000km old engine and auto

Update time, I rebushed the entire front end with polyurethane bushes and replaced all ball joins and link pins because front lower arm bushes were rooted real bad, car feels so much better and more responsive now, but transmits a ton of road noise, so I turn the stereo up louder.

Also ended up fitting leds under the dash and under the front seats, as convenience lights, they're white not blue

They're wired via relay switched with interior light, with straight b+ through a 10A fuse, to a seperate switch to turn em on and off and through a dimmer, also have a bypass switch in place to turn them directly on and off without interior light on

hope you like it

Too many LEDs breaketh the man. Keep clean brah

Calm down, I haven't got the dimmer fitted in that photo, it's going to be slot more dull
