Boosted Falcon

well decided to get a new daily, something thats half decent. ended up coming across a series III au xr8 manual ute in blueprint. it is also on gas.
in pretty good condition with 160k on the clock. since having it home i have pulled the 20's of the EA in the shed and chucked them on.
its got a half decent exhaust on it that sounds quite nice!!
i haven't got many plans for it but i am sure that will change! haha i think msd coil packs and new leads will be one thing and maybe a new bonnet with a bulge.
here it is on the way home from picking it up with my mate in his BF XR8

Looks pretty neat, good find.

nice mate
personally preferred the wheels that were on it in the first photo but to each their own
very nice

yeah a couple people had said that, yeah i think that i just need some silver agents or something simular.
started doing a couple things to it, and i haven't even had it for a week
got 2 remotes with it of which none of them worked, so i pulled them apart and found the battery part fallen off the circuit board part so i fixed them back together and managed to get one working.
once i had it working coded it to the ute and then found that it wasn't locking the car for some reason. keeped unlocking al the time!! :nothappy
so i pulled the locking actuator out of the drivers door and found that plastic gear broken!! so i put it all back together and then got on ebay and order a new one.
whilst i had the door trims off i noticed the speakers in the doors had alreay been replaced with alpine splits!! nice

another thing was i put another stereo surround in as the stereo didn't seem to be fitted up quite right and was a bit loose, so i soon fixed that!!

haven't checked to see what is in the rear speakers yet but also found a Amp under the passenger seat going off to all 4 speakers so gave that a tweak and got some more sound out of the speakers.. :layrubber

for some reason the LCD in the instrument cluster was only lighting up half of it so i pulled in out tonight and had a fiddle with it and got it all lighting up properly..

BEAUTIFUL!

Looks very clean,
Blueprint is one of the best colours.

I actually think both the stock and the current rims look good. I guess you can change them over when ever you feel like it.

Nice buy! EA project with AU daily FTW!
