Boosted Falcon

hey people. thought i'd start a show room thread of my nc fairlane ghia. i've posted half these pics in mi intro thread but meh
its pretty much standard, 5ltr, lowered a touch, on 19" GT-P's with mandrel bent 2 and a half inch exhaust with some kind of sports muffler.
not too much planned for it from now on, pretty much done everything i wanted to do to it. gettin windows tinted wednesday.
idealy i'd like it a bit lower but looks alright as is now so meh, can wait for some other time to be dropped more.

how i got it:





as it is now:





better pics to come when its all nice and clean and have mi dads good camera. these pics are dodgey fone ones.

cheers for lookin.

surprised you haven't been picked up by the cops yet for driving a 5 ltr.

cheers corey

nah, its all good. i'm aloud to... just. got mi licence like 5 days before the rules came in. been pulled over in it once and they didnt say a word bout it so its all good.

Very nice car. Looks mint as!

Damn good job getting through just before the new rules haha.

I got stuck with them by a few months.. and of my mates didn't and can drive turbo'd and 8cyl cars, bastards haha.

Anyway nice looking car mate! Nice and clean, the way a falcon should be Take it easy mate, seeya.

some pics i just took before coz i cleaned it all up.
since i last took any pics only thing thats changed is tinted windows...

very nice i rkn u should change the side indicators to clear ones.

thought i might update a little, just slapped in a new alpine head unit in on the weekend and gave the whole thing a tidy up. still have to take some good pics with good camera but never have the time. shittin me

thats tough mate.

nice mate....!
i like it...

cheers for the comments... she's goin on her first big trip this weekend, off to nsw, better not let me down

thinkin bout sellin the wheels to get me out of debt. they r in great condition except for one with a bit of gutter rash on it. also maxxis tyres that cost 300 each i put on about 2 months ago. not worn at all.
if ur interested pm me an offer, if i can get the right price i'll get rid of them, if not i'll keep them.

cheers

yes sell the wheels. i reckon they r too big anyway. get smaller classier looking ones. love the 1st pic

yeah, i'll just go back to the nc ones... i love the look of it with the big wheels but im just over it. had enuff of stressin that im gunna damge them and im forkin out a heap in insurance each month and i doubt they will insure me with them on. and like i said i need money so makes sense to get rid of them.

RACV insured my EL with the GTP's on, they didnt care?

Keep them on, or slam it on the standard rims.

nice lane, i love those wheels on it. id buy them but i have no cash

bought some ef fairmont ghia door trims the other day off a fellow member, havent put them in yet, need to get chrome handles.
still got the wheels and still considering selling them, if any 1 makes me an offer i cant refuse they'll be sold.
this will be at afd this year and im really lookin forward to it. will be god to meet a few members...

as i have posted on another thread, one of the next things i want to do is work the engine a bit. want some more oomph.

cheers - jarrod

thanks mate, its got darkest legal tint, but these need darker than that...


im wanting to lower it more now so i need opinions coz i dont know wat i want...
was thinkin superlows at the back, leave as is in front
or super lows all round
or go all out and super super lows all round...
or even just leave it as it is...

just ordered myself some personalised plates (kind of) hopefully get here within a couple of weeks.
still dont know about them, i may get them and think "gay" and think i have wasted some bucks.
any way, they look standard issue and read NCF-302
should look like this:

Good pickup! If only they were white with green writing though..

Not too bad actually. What is the deal with these sorts of plates anyway, have always wondered? They as expence as full custom or what?

I paid around $200 for a previous issue plate. If your lucky and know someone at VicRoads you could get a newer plate cheap cheap.

yeah i was thinkin of the white with green so it looks old school but i think that when the number plates went to N** they went to the style they r now...??? dunno
i was thinking of NCIIV8 as a full custom one's but they were gunna be $600 so thought i wouldnt bother with plates, then i thought about that and jumped onto v plates site and saw they were available so thought why not?
these set me back $295

classic au - go to: www.vplates.com.au and look around, it gives ya all different options for ur style and how u want them etc etc...

cheers - jarrod

theyve gone up again then, lol.. i paid $195 for mine bout 3 months ago, fark!

Yeah, N was the "Victoria On The Move" i think, still suits though

lol RIPPED OFF!!! if the car was a bit older i would have gone white with green, but for this one i think the blue suits better.

Thanks dude, I did have a quick look on that site and that price looks like the cheapest combo. Dunno what dodgies Pete pulled to only pay $200!!

no probs. i think once u start mixin it up the price sky rockets!

Looks good man, think it was around the same when I got the plates for the Fairlane (ED's factory reg) but Green on white would have looked crap on a BF. yours looks nice with the blue and white though, its a nice contrast.

thanks mate. i tried heaps of different combos and this one just seamed to work the best with the car. black with white was no good i thought. suits other cars but. white with green writing suits the older style cars no matter wat colour but.

just went onto the vplates website and put in the number plate i have ordered and clicked "check availability" and it said it is and that i should buy them
does any 1 know why that would be? am i likely to get a letter sayin i cant have them or something coz some 1 else may already have them?
i better be gettin my plates and not be getting stuffed around by vicroads...

If you go further to fill in forms, it will say there taken.

Did it to me with a few plates I wanted.

ahh... ok, sweet. thanks mate. hope they dont take too long to get here. it said it could take up to 10 weeks to get them made!

plates came on wednesday, was just a case of calling up vicroads and then i could put them on. im actually prett happy with them. came alot quicker than i thought!
i got a 4 day weekend comming so surely i will be able to find some time to give her a good clean inside and out and get some decent pictures with a good camera. (havent had any since i got it and it was a stocker!)

gave it a quick clean before and took a couple of photo's:

good camera + shit photographer = these:

i think i need to lower it more... well at least in the back anyway. looks too high.
wat do ppl think? lower it more? half the people i speak to say yes, other half say its fine!

yeah drop the rear another inch

these fairlanes need at least ultras...
mine looks like this - id like it lower but its not really possible without bags

Nice car mate it looks like its loved i havn't seen a clean one off these in yonks.

Keep the big rims and just slam it.

don't know if its your thing but big chrome deep dish rims with airbags would really set it off.

yeah, was considerin ultra's.
luxo 8, that looks awesome! definately goin to go ultras now, was already thinkin that. lol its all or nothin. wats it ride like with them? i already got shortened shocks in the rear but was wonderin if i need different struts for the front?
mr ef, i'd like bags but dunno bout chrome rims and dish. they arent bad but i'd need to find a set that i really REALLY like to consider it.

stickin with these rims now, i put my old original ones on the other week and they looked crap compared to these.
