Looks too good* to turn into a track pig - surely you should keep it as a road car and turn a $20 EA into a track pig instead? That way it won't matter if you stack it - Good condition ED XRs are getting thin on the ground these days.












*except the wheels....**** I hate big-ass chrome rims :/

Nice car man. Also agree its to clean of a car to make it dedicated to the track.

tough on cars. ps running fpv pursuit wheels now, sold the chromies with me old ute

Agree with the others: too nice for a track pig. You could return it to stock, sell it and buy a shitter with cash left over to fit it out with brakes/cage/whatever.

Never get sick of seeing more boosted Falcons like this :D

i hear what you guys are saying , but its my first car and i have had it for way too long to ever sell it , and i built it to have fun , and once the police get there grubby little hands on it,(which i have avoided for the last 7 yrs) :P i think it might be a bit of a hassle to get it back on the road ... :)

looks neat. white ed xr's ftw. even didn't mind the wheels. i'm with everyone else though. if you track car it, then you'll need a daily, so you'll go buy a shitter to drive around in. why not buy the shitter for the track and put this back to na and have a neat ed xr to drive.

iv already got a nice daily ,so this is just somthink that i play with when iv got time , have very big plans for it, but i like to do every thing myself, but with work and family i just havent had much time for it.

i had heaps of pics of when i re-built it and various other photos, but recently lost heaps when my computer crashed , so at the moment i dont , and its all in pieces at the moment getting a rebuild and changing intercooler and moving engine harness under the gaurd.
