Boosted Falcon

Hey guys,

I've been a member on here for many years now, and it has always been the case of CBF'ing putting my car up in this Showroom section... till now!

The ride is a 1998 EL Fairmont Ghia V8 with factory Tickford kit, and 3 Way Sunroof in Sparkling Burgandy.

Mods: 18" Quake Rims wrapped in Dunlop SP3000a tyres
Lovell sagged Ultra Low springs front and rear
Koni Adjustable Shocks in the rear
DBA Drilled/Slotted Rotters Front/Rear
EL GT Headers
2.5" Cat back exhaust
SS Intake
FBT Steering Wheel
New Cappa Leather
7" Sony DVD/TV Screen
2 Kicker 1500W Subs
Pioneer 260W 5 way speakers all round


Plans: 347 Stroker Conversion, T5 Manual Conversion, 3" Stainless Exhaust, EL GT Twin Piston Brake Upgrade, 19" BF GT-P rims, FBT Trim, Full Respray in
factory Sparkling Burgandy.

Eventually, i gave up the dream and decided too get a BF Super Pursuit.

BUT....

Somewhere along the way ended up with a brand new VE SS 6 speed Ute instead...



Heres some pics, hope you enjoy!

haha my mate owns this car now... (member on here, no doubt he will pop in.) is pretty nice. best thing is sunroof.

sweet as, love the EL mate.

what made you go the VE over the Super pursuit? I always thought the FPV's had nicer interiors. dont know how the power compares though...

Its a nice EL, had a decent note too.

although i'm far more used to hearing the scrubbing guards

Good to see the cars stayed around Seth.

MINT car mate, mines exactly the same but as bordeox purple and with 19s. What do you mean by a 3 way sunroof?, mine only pops up and rolls back?

Definitely a mint car!

Pics of the SS?

The car is now mine, and it is a awesome car. I'll have to get off my ass and do a build thread I think..
Since buying the car I have put 18" gtp's and 4.11's
and commando's vortech kit is know mine also hahaaha

now thats what i call good news.
This car + Vortech will be awesome.

i have seen this around pakenham, fking nice car

all the right bits, i also saw plates today mint 8 on the monash lol

Yep that would have been me rushing too work in the uterus... LoL

There were a couple of reasons why I got the SS over the FPV... The SS was brand new for 36k compared too a Super Pursuit with 80,000 kms for the same price, was cheaper on insurence, and wasn't really keen on the leaf spring rear suspension...

Why not an XR8?

36K is so cheap!!. I was looking at a car yard 2 nights ago same ute but in that new green and they had $41k + onroads.

Not interested in getting one, just curious on the prices of them.

Still leaf spring

Beautiful car mate, used to see you around narre warren alot.
VE SS is a nice upgrade too

might be cos i live in Narre Warren Stevo... LoL

Spotted the new Mint-8 at Sew Fine today not bad. Dumped and 22'z and you will be sweet!

Haha... cheers Snyper... I didnt realise it was you till after you went, seeing i havnt actuallt met you before..

So Sef... You got pics of MINT-8 that time you put it on its roof... The repairs came out awesome!

Yeah i know eyy, but i spose i regret that i didnt go with the idea of making it a convertible instead of fixing the roof...

I miss it now...

I remember how much effort went into collecting this car.

Driving all that way up and back, with a popped head gasket, in just over a day. Overheating... Speeding... And you still couldn't keep up with me.

Very nice...
