Boosted Falcon

i picked this up last saturday, a 2010 G6ET

there's no sunroof & it's not a V8...... but it ticked all the other boxes for me.
silhouette paint, charcoal grey leather & black interior, sat-nav & the tow bar always comes in handy from time to time.
pic's after i bought it.......

my old i-pod has a new home now....

Mint.

My next company car I reckon.

so one week on and have got my plate's for the car, along with some black headlight's (thanks to kyle)




i also got a bigger cooler, but after to chatting with the tuner i realy dont need it for what i want from the car.....but while the front bar was off to do the headlights i put it in anyway.

justin ....."TUFF CAR PARTS" is hooking me up with bigger injector's, along with a "TRU TRAC" LSD & 3:73 gears.
it's booked in for friday at BLUE POWER to get the injector's put in, also a hi-flow cat/dump pipe, there CAI box and then tuned.
a guy on AFF with the same mod's but with std cooler got 290rwkw's, i'd be happy with that
the diff will be done the week after i hope.
a set of super low spring's are also on the way...(i cant go to low due to driveway issues)

Looks amazing man
That silhouette paint haha i got the same
But not a G6ET unfortunately

minttt

Grandpa car for a grandpa.

Good stuff knackers.

very nice ride! enjoy..

Looks very neat, good stuff!

cheers guy's

got some stuff from you today justin

bigger injector's, a TRU TRAC (as these have an open diff) and some 3:73's to liven it up a bit

Looking good mate! don't mind the black headlights either.

Jealous of you modding it so soon! I want to do mine eventually.

Any reason for the 3.73 gears? Might need to get them to tune it to take off in 2nd all the time with the diff gears done.

Nice car man! I just got me a silver one with around 350 at the treads

What's the tru-trac worth and how hard are they to install? Single's sucking the big one with so much power.

Oh and the stock brakes are horrible! I'm used to Brembos when I have 300+ and these things are at their limits trying to pull up a stocker that's doing some speed. Shudder shudder shudder.

So good.

Would be torn between one of these and a manual XRT.

good stuff man, looks the goods. bet you cant stop @ 290kw cant wait to see where this goes

thanks again for the comments
still getting used to having a quiet car, but are loving the power even in stock trim.
and feel i got a good buy....it's a 1 owner, 77,XXX klms (mainly hwy klms) with full service history (no expense spared) being it was his work car...just had it's 75,000 service, which it had the diff bushes done.
windscreen & tyre's were also done a couple of months ago, still has 2 years to run on a VIP paint "touch up" thing.

to be honest i bought the gears thinking that the stock ones would be 3:23
but later found out they are 2:73 i have seen on a couple of threads people running 3:73's so will see how they go.

i'm sure justin will do you a good price on the tru-trac it and the gears are still to be installed, it'll be done after the tune (cant get it done before)...as i pre booked in at blue power to get there july special.
who knows, i may keep the std gears & just put the try trac in ?
i hear what ya saying about the high speed brake shudder

they make it look more angry !!!!
i'll also be redoing the grill's and fog light's a darker colour but still keeping the chrome surround.
a bit like the 50'th ann model's.... so they dont stand out so much & will blend in better.

3.7's are what the manuals run, you sure you're not getting confused? Who is installing the Tru-Trac? Or you doing it yourself? Does it fit in the standard diff case? 10 years of fucking with cars and I still know nothing about diffs.

Was going to ask the same thing,25years of fkn with cars here and a diff just does skids for me,would like to know how different the centers are to ef?.

Very nice ride too

Looks like you've got some mint plans for it, should be nice and pokey with the diff gears but you would probably want some decent rubber on the rear to tame it down lol.

The diffs are a different setup to an EF being IRS.. and a bigger unit too. (bigger gears etc). Tru trac will go into the stock diff housing as long as its for a Falcon as I think the cheaper ones from the US need to be modded to fit?

yup, the LSD will fit straight in kyle had one of these in his BF 'lane.
i'm still to sort out when it'll be fitted and if i'll stick to stock gears or slide the 3:73's in at the same time, i'll do some more research on the gears (should've done it first) ....
as i don't want the car to be a pig to drive with normal everyday driving.

First gear in mine is useless if both wheels spin, as soon as it starts to boost it'll tear 'em up and I'm lucky to it 2nd before it nips the limiter. 3.7's would be next level. I wouldn't bother.

Sunny your mad lol another one with 350kw! what turbo/mods is it running?

^^^ was going to ask the same thing.

It's got a 35R, valve springs, intake cam regrind, Herrod pipes, PWR cooler, ID1000 injectors, no centre muffler, 100 cell cat, pump, modified airbox to fit a K+N cone filter (no dose/minimal spool noises ), ZF tune and 16PSI. Last tune at Nizpro saw 336 then it went to another shop with the airbox modded and made 350.

Taken over a week to get used to it, not bothering with getting it going in 1st and 2nd because it just bakes. 3rd gear is where the action starts if you have enough road

BLUE POWER worked their magic today and the result is.......... 292 rwkw's
i did hope for 300.... (the high end of the scale for those mods).... but are happy as pig in poop with the figure and how it drives.
292 rwkws isn't much for some on here, but it's the most i've had at the control of my right foot
not a bad gain..... around 70 rwkw's over stock for $2,700 spent !

the diff gears wont be going in, as a few have said before....there not needed after giving it a run tonight.
just need to fit the truetrac & then off to heathcote to see what it'll do

i did also price some more mod's while i was there for the future

That's the spirit.
Nice power out put too. Wish I had that!


Cheers

Should be heaps of fun! You'll have to take me for a spin in it sometime!

Sunny how do you like it with the Bigger turbo? Interesting that someone has bothered to put a cam in it and only run 16psi/350kw.

What was included for that price mate?

i got some 550cc bosch injector's from TUFF CAR PARTS, Blue power fitted them along with a venom 5" hi-flow cat and i also got their CAI box....... which was free (july special) with the tune.
the power it's making seems to be around average for what's been done.

WOW !!!!!
i've only had this thing a month now.....and it all seems to be falling into place
i scored some new...(2 week old) VERTINI "DRIFT" rim's/tyre's last week 20X8.5".... 245's front, 20X10".... 275's rear.
i also got and fitted the kings SSL spring's last night, here's a couple quick snap's....

That is porn.

looking good.

Wow. Looks perfect.

That's awesome!

cheers guy's, gold rim's were never on the shopping list....i was thinking more black/chrome like i was going to put on the LTD, but they came up at the right time at a good price
if i was to buy them new i'd get 9.5" on the back so the tyre's fit better as i'm not into the stretched tyre look.
i've just got the grill's and fog light's to do....then the outside is done.

I think that amount of stretch looks good. It's not like your trying to put a 235 on it. Can always put a 295 on too.

Was going to ask what you're doing with the grills, buy I'll just wait and see.

Always wondered what they'd look like in chrome to match the bezels/surrounds.
