Boosted Falcon

well ladies and gents, as some already know i got myself a car.my xr8 ute sold about 4-5 weeks ago and i was getting desperate to find a car.
Originally i was looking at VZ maloo's only.(mainly due to it having 6 litre). but i called up about 7 vz's. all but 1 sold on me and wasnt that crash hot on it anyway.
so by now i was getting pretty shitty not having a car and gave up looking.

was on ebay one night almost 2weeks ago and saw this. im pretty bad with impulse buys as some would know . when i found it it had 55 minutes left on ebay, my girlfriend saw it and said "go for it!"
i bidded with a few minute to go and won it. so then ended my vz maloo hunting

i was nervous as hell once i bought it but when i went to pick it up i knew i did the right thing. love it so far and havnt looked back. best 'E' series ive driven

details will come later once i got more time. all feedback welcome, good or bad!

Thats sick!

i liked the orange ba turbo better

Nice mate! Have fun making piss easy power!

looks tough already lol, good score

definately one of the better looking commonwhores mate good buy. Front looks so tough

Love it!

Yeah man nice ute, can't wait to see what you do to it, we all know it'll be awesome, then you'll probably sell it lol. Have to do another mountain run soon too!

haha i read all of that befor looking at the photo and i didnt expect to see that car in the photo
Looks nice though!

**** yes!

Very nice! I'll have to come check it out soon, can't wait till it's charged

nice pickup the old 'stormtrooper'... love the front of these, and the power they make, but the rear end of these
is terrible.... Glad you didnt get that horrible crunch colour...

Hell yeah! Heads on these things flow unbelievably well, and they make such good power even with just bolt ons. There's plenty of people getting about with mid 300s atw with just a cam!

When you're ready for exhaust, OTR and a mail order tune, you know who to talk to!

Sweet ute! My cousins have one each in white and black, they love them...
It's amazing how far aussie utes have come in 8 years. Nothing is even comparable to the XR8 at all. Sad really.

Looks the goods. Dump it, GTS 20's and LOWLOO plates
