Boosted Falcon

not long got my 89 ea falcon. it was a gift from my dad lol. best present to date.

hasnt got any engine mods as of yet; its still a work in progress tho.

all the pics are from when it was on stands getting the diff replaced.

it has a lsd out of an ed ex police pursuite car. ( back in the day when ed's were cop cars lol. )

& it has clear tail lights as well. (clearly haha.)


interior gagets & audio:

; custom red center console cover & gear shift boot. ( done by my best mate! )
; red neons in front on a switch & soon to be red neons in the back.
; blue neon boot lights.
; kenwood headunit.... soon to be pioneer headunit, due to my partners laziness its not in yet lol.
; 2x pioneer 12" subs.
; had a dodgy amp, blew it up. in the process of getting a new one.
; 2x pioneer 6x9's in rear.
; 2x stock 4" speakers in front.


soon to come mods & audio

; superlow suspension.
; exhaust system.
; complete new engine. 4L el motor, turboed.
; pioneer 1000watt amp.
; custom body kit.
; complete respray.
; new window tit ( old tints very dodgy )

& more that i cant think of right now.












the wheels arent much at the moment. but they are a hell of alot better then the stock snowflake's lol.







feel free to suggest things & give advise. either would be very much appreciated. thanks

good starting point planned mods sound good.
advice - remove clear taillights + neons. imo

I have to agree with Dane, not a fan of the tail lights either. Post up pics of interior.

Welcome!!

The lights dont look TOO bad on that colour for some reason, but agreed on the neons! Snowflakes are tough on S-Pacs, but im a sucker for standard rims

agreed about snowflakes!! some good planned mods there.

Looks good keep it up
I actually think that the clear lights suit this car.
NEon needs to go for sure tho hhehe.
Well im sure that the boys up in qld will be able to help you with putting some bits on this car.
Big tim is the man to talk to uo there about the turbo. as i believe he is a snort supplier.

Yeah the taillights look alright on this car lol (Y)

Looks like you got a good starter, if your going to do engine mods, grab an EF-AU XR engine and plant it in there

Personally I'd put the standard taillights back on, and give it a Ghia garnish as well. +1 for neon removal

Other than that looks like a good project

Nice start even better when its free. im not one for the taillights (but each to there own) but i do have a fairmont garnish if you would like.

i think the tail lights suit it..good luck mate

tail lights look shit. fuk em off.

looks good other than that.

Im sure you will find plenty of bits on here for sale that you can used to build this beast up.
There are always few go fast bits sold by the Qld boys .

hey guys,

just thought i'd post some picks of the interior...
we still doing parts of it but this is it so far.

this is the dash before and after...

before



after

ignore the duckt tape lol. i have to replace the console its all cracked lol.


rest of the interior so far.

aussie pride FTW hey this is going to sound dumb but how did you paint the dash and what kind of paint did you use? how did u get a red console lid and gear shift boot?

Take out the inserts, paint them and put them back in My car has similar only in pink. My console lid is in pink fluff, simply cover it. Very easy to do.

Not a fan of the red but each to their own. Simple mods for starters

Actually look at boosted barbie car build thread i think she has a few simple mods you can do to start with.


they maybe simple but i think that they looked really nice .

just a little comment for now.


finally got my amp; 800w pioneer monoblock.
its pumping my 2, 12" pioneer subs hard.
very happy at the moment.

car will be getting lowered this week sometime.
so pics will be up soon yay!

as for the tail lights. some of you's arent fans.
but i like them and think they suit the car well.
and they gonna stay there til the car is resprayed.

looking at getting an exhaust system but not sure.
what will go & sound well... any suggestions ??

also just found out i've got a leak in one of my
radiator hoses lol... so gotta get that fixed soon.

so far i've only done a few mods do to lack of funds
cause my parners been off work. but hes back now.
so i'll be pumping majority of my money into the car.

thats all for now guys. hope to hear some more feedback.


ta x

if you looking for what is working and sounds good may i suggest you have a look at the Build threads and see what others have done to there car.
Looking forward to seeing this all done .

up dates?

i have lukey straight thru muffler with hi flo metal cat and pacemaker headers small power increase and sounds good too it is also has a mandrel bent system.

Those inserts look exactly like mine back in the day. Nice starting point for a car good luck with it.

i dont know what it is but the clear tail lights actually look allright on that color.

good start there mate, not keen on the neons but nice car over all.

any pics of the engine bay?

looks heaps better with the clear blinkers well done

i would prop suggest an 2.5 exhaust or just a tip and prob some lows or superlows.

^^ What he said

Id have to agree with barbie and snipez. . Put a full exhaust on it . Im pretty sure ive seen a few from the qld guys u for sale . .
may be the way to go .
Put it on superlows . I think i saw some of these in forsale section too.
maybe a idea to get a red hot deal

oh and i reckon get some autosol and give the rims a lil bit of a polish.
would come up a treat

loving the aussie pride haha

have to agree with everyone else and say lose the clear tail lights, but good to see the clear indicators making there way onto the car superlows next?

Ok Guys Heres The Update.
I Am Quiet Saddened To Say I Killed My Gearbox, Bellhousing & Tailshaft.
Dont Ask Me How I Did It, But I Heres The Pics.

















Car Is In Being Repaired Now. Spending Big To Fix It... Getting New Brakes As Well..
Ahhh I Just Want My Old Girl Back Haha.

What happened....clutch dump or was the gearbox already loose on the bell housing bolts and just cracked after a bit of a fang or did the gearbox seize?

It does not look like the clutch or flywheel became grenades.

Not good.

The Clutch Is Shredded & Frayed, But The Flywheel Is Fine.

Cruising On The Highway Went To Change To 5th & There Was A Massive Bang & Then That Was It.

Im Thinking Your Right About It Being Loose & Just Breaking Underpressure.

Gearbox Didnt Seize That We Know Of.

But No Matter How It Happened, I Did It Big Haha. So Time To Replace Everything

Shall Have The Car Back Tomorrow Or Tuesday. After A Fair Amount Of Money Later No Doubt Lol.

Far ken ell......
