Boosted Falcon

Well i got rid of the patrol and got something more comfortable and fun to drive. Im the second owner, and it also had full service history so that was a bonus.
Its was completely standard minus the 17" ANZ Matrixs. All you biased one sided ford fans dont bother with your "OMG its a holden " shit.

VS Statesman Caprice
5Ltr
4 Speed Auto
Leather Interior

Front Springs - SL
Rear Springs - SSL

Wheels - 15" Ceptors till VE GTS's are found

Its away having the exhaust done at the moment someone put on a 2 1/2" with 1 muffler about a meter long.
Plans are to have the Auto done up and Diff rebuilt with 3.9's (not by keysy diff's) this time, should see it ready for the nats

Then after nats i plan to do Heads, Cam and slowly start getting it ready for S/C setup.





Dane

Nice! I love the headlights/driving lights and taillights on these.

1m long muffler? Gay

Pics of interior?

Id say go to Supa Trik in dandy mate They are really good,
The built my diff in the ea and have done the xf one too.
No only that they rebuilt your old one for me too (Ohh by the way i now have your 411 diff )

only holdens ive ever owned an liked will look an go good when your finished with it DaNeOs
seen this the other day nice an clean.

the summernats?

do the heads, cam and supercharger setup first, then its worth seeing at the 'nats

I'd say time & money are a factor...

wtf??^^^ get ya hand off it.
thes are nice cars, my mate used to have a silver one, best sounding 8 ive heard, and my uncle has a VE GTS with walkinshaw exhaust with SC. so yeh, can be tuff sounding cars. nice its got luxo goodies like leathers too. wanted one of these for ages till i dicovered i likes fords haha

OMG its holden shit!


Nah good find. With rims it will be sweet.

hand off what?

i didnt say it wasnt a nice car..... yes it is a nice car, and probably sounds very nice too.

People travel from all over Australia to Canberra to see the holy grail of tuff street machines. Commodore with shift kit, shorter diff and mags doesnt cut it..... i always wonder why people get defensive over that fact.

Nah he is actually talking about EASTERNATS not summernats mate.

How does everyone without a showcar who live all over Australia get to summernats? Do they walk?

It was a bit of a wanker comment.

Comments like that will get you banned on this site, the nasty moderators dont have much patience.

sounds half decent for a stocker!! Just get some rims, lol.. stockies look shockin

Maybe some champagne WH Grange 18's would do the trick??

when someone says theyre getting there car ready with some mods for a car event, usually means theyre entering it.

And yes my comment was rather "straight to the point", and in hindsight i shouldve kept my mouth shut.

I'm one of those sheep who are a real sucker for VS-VT Internationals. I reckon they'd be winners, cheap alternatives to VE GTSs too

I'd say Dane's stato would "cut it" more at Summernats (or Easternats, or Hallamnats) than an n/a 4.0

PS I'm not a nasty moderator. Just a dirty one

After seeing it in person, I agree with Pete, needs some rims Dane!

get some of these rims

There are heaps of go fast bits for these.

I like other than the tail lights, too big IMO.
So I'd tint them!

make sure you get paceys for this because the holden v8 pacemakers are really good they are beter then the ford v8 ones,my brotherinlaw had them on his vn 5ltr and it sounded butiful.

brocky - a mate got his done by a guy that works for A1 Differentials i think its call, he does backyard work seemed till lock up like a spool after 6 months.

gunns, pete, beth, john - got my eye on a set of VE GTS they only 19's but i think they will do

wayne - i been looking at all the go fast bits i think ive got my next years worth of pay checks already spent. also a bonus with the old mans bursons account

also its currently at the exhaust joint should hopefully sound mint. at the moment i driving a mates RX2 Capella 13b

SUPATRIK i believe is the way to go Daneos

i want one of theseeeeee

i agre, there are 2 HDT's here in mackay one red and one white and **** they look mint with those rims

Best rims ever. Very pissed Ford cant design a decent wheel. The GTS rims are worth selling a ford and buying a hsv for

steveo, they wanted 6500$ for genuine 20's no tires, i nearly fell over.
So copies will do me fine

Arent the VE GTS wheels ROH Mantis? Just get them from ROH in that case, IMO the taillight design on the Stato leaves a lot to be desired but apart from that they are pretty sweet. I have been tempted to get my missus one from a mate thats rolling on 18s, but cant afford it. Nice car Dane

ROH Mantis are close but not really the same

nice holden a mate of mine has a vs ss with a cluby kit common i know but chicks in work'ed v8s so how i no the owner of this a chick but what i wanna know is.is it me or is the bonnet faded or is it just the pic? is this the model that has 8 speakers in it?

head on over too the dark side calaisturbo.com.au heaps of shit over there sure you will find lots of goodie's there i did when i had mine

tuff car mate!! i like the stockies.... sounds like you got some decent plans for it plenty of nice ones of these for inspiration

Fully Sick Daneos. Very nice car awesome pick up. Put a vortech on it!!

psychotic-angel - It is moisture on the bonnet, due to the photo being taken at 7:00 in the morning, yes this is the 8/10 speaker one

purped - yeah ct and sc have heaps of stuff for these at good prices

Got it back frome exhaust joint, IMO it sounds tuff, nothing over the top until you put your foot on the go pedal

tougher then the wagon?

hahah, if i cut it at the diff i rekon it would be going out again friday nite?

ok so were are the 8 speakers front rear doors parcel shelf does it have the 10inch subs or is that the later models ? saw a pic of one like this on ebay had a pic of the roof i thort it might have speakers there

EFFalcon wrote:tougher then the wagon?

My ears are still hurting from being in the wagon lol!

Sounded good when we went to Sorrento on Sunday Dane!!!
Certainly had a few people looking at it when you gave it a kick in the guts!!

my mates got a vr stato in the same colour dropped on vt ss rims and it looks mad. goes hard as fark as well

I had one when I was ~16 as a paddock basher.... How's it go with a 13b?

hey how does the 5L go, is there any dramas with it at all i am looking at trading mine in on one

I hope that was tongue in cheek.

Back on topic... Can't say I like them but I can see why people do. Get some horse power into it and it will be tough.
