Boosted Falcon

Ive never really put many pics of my cars before and now that they are all long gone ive gotten around to it... i guess seeing all these awesome eseries in one spot has made me feel somewhat nostalgic.. so sorry to bore you all with cars that arent around anymore and that were never boosted hehehe but here goes

My first car was an EL Fairmont purchased at the auctions back in 2003.. here it is at its best



Hehehe private road ofcourse....

Honestly id probably still be driving this car if it hadnt got stolen being my first car i couldnt bear to sell it for some reason lol Got stolen a few years ago and this is the state it was recovered in the next day.. had a lot of scratches on it basically needed a respray.. replacement of stolen parts and they found the auto was damaged so the insurance decided to write the car off and it went off to auction


After the EL got written off i got my pay out and the first thing i bought was a cobalt blue ed ghia.. i only had this car for around 3 months so not much to say about it really.. but here it is looking mint after Pat [D1SCNT] & his old man pulled all the dints and resprayed most of the car.. thanks alot for that bro



Now finally to the final instalment lol.. and most definatly my favourite eseries out of what ive owned i bought it 100% stock start of 2006 around the time the ED got sold.

My EL Fairmont Ghia
Heres a before pic taken straight out of the tradingpost ad


It didnt stay stock for very long at all infact the week i started driving it, it got lowered on superlows, and got a catback exhaust...
Over the year i had it ended up having the following done to it:

Ultra low lovells with adjustable koni yellows all round
Full EL tickford bodykit minus the rear spoiler
17" AJR Directors
Rebuilt 3.73 LSD
Auto with electronic Shift Kit
Dev 5 Cam with adjustable vernier gear
Genie extractors and 2.5" exhaust
Bit of a stereo intall (Still got all the gear for my next car)

Never got to run it at the drags at its peak but it ran a 15.07 1/4 mile at heathcote with a dev 3 hl and no extractors so wouldve been good to see it run with everything on.

Also had a T5 conversion sitting ready to go but things changed....

Here is a few pics courtesy of Joe aka jjm on the way to the summernats this year good times!!!





I probably woulda still had this car if i didnt lose my license but since i couldnt drive it anyway i decided to sell it a few months back now.. i kinda regret it but i dont at the same time as its gone for bigger and better things.. but it woulda been nice too boost it..

Thats about it really thanks for reading

max thats one sweet read mate.

your EL Ghia was fucking mint man drove like a dream too, sad to see her go man was a great car...

whats planed next Hmm not going to do a zervo's are we hahaha

im sure you will come back to e-series again one day...

p.s that ED Ghia looks Fcukin MINT!!!!!!

Yeah good write up man, all 3 of the cars were nice, and the last 2 were practicly mint.

many memorys of these cars back in the day, like breaking down at the servo in the ED, chaging half the things in the engine, and it still wouldnt run properly only to realise the map sensor hose was still disconected...fools.

and also the many mods we did to the regency EL, the biggest pain was fitting up the damn body kit!!!!i still have nightmares about it. this car was freakishly quick and im dissapointed we didnt get to see the full potential of it with a manual because i know it made a big difference on my slug of a car.

i love the regency EL... beautiful car to drive.
deffinately the most responsive eseries 6 i've ever driven.
and with my dream wheels!

Your last EL was superb. Are you being soft like Zervos and planning an LS1?!

Great read there Max, all your cars were mint. Wish you bought our old EL Ghia!

ahhh some memories there, man that EL GHIA was the s1k3st car around, good job max, when will you return back to a i6 again

P.S - That ED got the best new lease on life. First me and Gill cleaned the interior right up to brand new spec and then you took over and did the exterior. Hopefully the new owner is looking after it.

.... maybe...

Thanks for the comments guys the last one was definatly the best, not planning on an i6 anytime soon but you never know what will happen...

Sunny yea woulda been good to have bought your old EL but in the end it had cappa interior couldnt get past that hahaha

Also yea that ED got the works also got some new front seats so there wasnt any tears and a few other little things inside leather wheel new parcel shelf etc so it was a good team effort Actually its up for sale again on carsales it seems its got a shiftkit now and a SIK!!! Preston and Autos sticker on the rear window.

Here ya go hope that works

Yeah worked... "Immaculate and well looked after" - Little did he know how rank it was when we picked it up.

Hey man love the cars, gotta say the ED looks sweet.... wish mine was that clean.... gotta get pat to do a spray for me soon.... you gotta buy another E-Series man.... screw getting an LS1.... look at wat john did.... now he wants it back lol

NO RWC on the ED. I don't think I'd buy a car that Sunny has owned at some stage, except his EA.

Max your EL was soooooooooooooooooooo HOT. Musn't be too long now till your mobile again now. I think I want an EL Ghia now.

damn that el was hot man.

That EL Ghia was the best!

Regency is such a great colour and you modified it to perfection.

It was bloody quick as well. I remember on GOR last year with Zervos behind the wheel keeping up with me as if I were driving a Camry. lol

I remember that one too, was the night I stacked the old Fairmont!
Yeah, your EL was mint max.
On to bigger and better skids, I mean things, though.

Clean as cars Max! I never knew you had any of the first two cars!

That pic with the SIK4L looks nuts! It's just hugging the road!

Yea not long now only about 1 month and 5 days muhahaha cant wait to menace the roads again.. well not quite i think ill be driving like a grandpa for a really long time lol

Damn that EL was tough, should have kept it man. You got good taste man, what car are you getting next?

needfordspeed wrote:Damn that EL was tough, should have kept it man. You got good taste man, what car are you getting next?

Thanks Gilly i shouldve kept it but i really wanted something newer for a change, if i had enough money i wouldve loved to have kept it and bought a new car.. Looking at getting a manual VY SS or VZ SS.. preferably a cheap VZ kinda starting to prefer them over VY... once i pay it off maybe ill buy a boosted eseries to drift around in

get an EA 5 speed!

I reckon VY. They look much tougher than a VZ, I don't know why. Just like a VN SS over a VP SS - sometime's the earlier model is the nicer looking one.

I used to sht myself every time I saw a VY SS, first cop car that ever pulled me over was a silver one lol.

VY SS look heaps better than VZ I reckon.

I've driven my bosses VZ SS. It goes pretty hard! I reckon it would almost keep up with mine

Hehehe will have to find out at the drags one day.. although im sure i wont be able to drive manual for shite lol considering ive never driven one hahaha..
If i cant get a hold of a cheap VZ ill be getting a VY just cause of the price but yea see what happens..

Don't make me sell you my car Max, so you don't get into an Oil Burner!

I remember the discussion when your car got stolen. Much outcry and deservedly so... Onwards and upwards though!

Come on Dave burning oil is fun??? but yes sell me your car hehehe

My EF burnt a lot of oil.

EL XR8 sell your car to me, but in like 12 months time or something. kdealcya.

Well its not eseries its not boosted its not ford but heres some pics of my new car!!!

Its a 2004 VZ Calais LS1.. pretty much stock cept it sounds alot tougher and louder then any stock ss or calais ive heard so i assume its had some exhaust mods. These pics were taken the 2nd day i had it and since then all ive done is peel off the ford sticker off the rear window!!!!!.. immediate mods im gonna take the tow bar off, put superlows in and hopefully get some sort of rims cause im not too into the stock ones.. anyway enjoy.. or not enjoy its your choice lol





This is my favourite part atm the outside is too stock!!!

That's pimp man, and it's already got mint wheels, all it needs is ultralows and the exterior is sorted.

Good stuff man, keep us posted on the mods.

About time! doesn't look as tough as my VY yet but im sure it will soon. get UL front springs, the SL in mine werent low enough. the rears ones i gave you are fine but probably to impractical.

how long till you run 12's N/A?

Very tuff! Very nice! But very stock!

Thanks dude, yea the wheels could be worse but im not a huge fan just have to see how the money situation is even if i get some better rims wont be anything too expensive.. but wheels atm for me is probably the most critical mod lol..yea i have ultralows but i think i might be soft for a while and drive with superlows hahaha then when i get sick of the height ill put the ultralows in..

Thanks mate but my EL was very stock when i got it and look what i did with that all i need is time.. especially to pay the fecken thing off!!! LOL
But i do have johns full di fillipo exhaust extractors, high flow cats the lot, springs and a few other things to put in so with any luck wont be stock for too much longer.

Black is the new Red. Awesome looking car Max, keen to see how it goes at Heathcote, definitely try and come up with you and hit that famous private road on the way.

That is a sexy car man! The EL is even sexier though, just looked at the pics and froffed again lol.

I think Gill has your wheels mixed up with the other 19" VZ Senators I think.

Thanks Sunny, yea the EL was good but i think Joes photos really make it look awesome... i might have to get him to do some shots of the VZ whens its a bit more worthy Yea those 19" VY - VZ senators is what i really wanna get for it hopefully not too far down the track.

It beats ED Sprints too
I love this car, drives so nice.
I is well impressed with it.
