yeah nothing on E-bay, I'd rather have it perfect and get a new boot lid.

That's fair enough. I did it with my el. Went and got another wingless bootlid and sprayed it. Had the option of changing it around if I wanted
I've actually got to sell the bootlid. It's got the shark fin wing on it

Nice pickup Tristan - looking forward to the KB!!

I got similar sentiments with my TE50 - they just don't think it's worthwhile...factory engine or worked motor. Lack of developed cooler kits for the windsor was Theo (and Chris') major argument...maybe Jeff from Streetbuilt in WA will show them up

Anyway, back on topic - refreshing to see big plans into a relative sleeper

Cheers

Cheers Steve,

I hopefully it will be reasonably sleeper spec. I'd prefer not have have to change wheels how ever I'm told that brembo's don't fit behind these wheels. So it will need subtle exterior changes.

ClassicAU · Post by **ClassicAU** » May 15th, 2012, 8:33 pm

Yep, that was the biggest sook I got thrown at me, inlet temps, cracked block, blah blah. Whatever, it's still fun with the toy blower anyway!

FG ftmfw! I went and test drove a new FG2 XR6T ZF today, for shits. Well, it was a 'demo' with only 22kms on it, sticker price $39990! Hell of a lot of car, and **** me the ZF is a smooth kit, do want! Unfortunately we can't all be a savvy entrepreneur like this guy!

Less useless visual mods, moar KB!

DE Spoilerd and LED fog lights.

ClassicAU · Post by **ClassicAU** » May 17th, 2012, 1:29 pm

So simple, yet so awesome! Mintness as usual mate! If it were me, I'd do nothing else visually.

Kaddis · Post by **Kaddis** » May 17th, 2012, 7:47 pm

I like the LED fog lights! Have you got a pic of them on with the head lights on?

any plans to take it down the 1/4 while its stock? id be curious to see how it goes with a manual.

i want your 19s...

Jet · Post by **Jet** » May 17th, 2012, 9:09 pm

Love the look. Twin exhaust would finish it off nicely I think.

edfalconTurbo · Post by **edfalconTurbo** » May 17th, 2012, 9:28 pm

go duel twin exhaust and slam it.. for that extra **** off appeal

Damn the fg falcons just look so mint!

That looks beautiful man, love it, well done.

The second last pic, I take it that its Photoshopped? if so that is perfection right there.

love the nitro blue colour fg falcons.

braad · Post by **braad** » August 22nd, 2012, 4:41 pm

looks good. not sure on the de=spoilered look, but it's so smooth and clean it's still good either way

20" wheels in second last pic look boss

Yeah its photoshoped if only i could actually get these rims in a larger size and wider and also clear brembo's. Its so annoying that i have to changes wheels to put Brembos on a new XR8.

Cheers man. I like to keep it immaculate, I finally found a company to get me some more Concourse Zymol Wax, the best stuff. http://www.zymol.com/zymolconcoursglaze8oz.aspx

icachn wrote:love the nitro blue colour fg falcons.

To be honest the Nitro wasn't my first choice in color i would have preferred Octane or Black but its grown on me now and really love it now that its detailed it really has a deep shine with heaps of flake.

braad wrote:looks good. not sure on the de=spoilered look, but it's so smooth and clean it's still good either way

Its the look I like and always go for sleeper nothing overstated except the TE of course but that was very flamboyant. The simple clean lines of the FG look better with out the spoiler and a simple set of wheels.

I've been trying to think of a number plate to suit this car as i want it to stand out a little compared to all the xr6's round in this color. So here are a few ideas I had but if anyone has anything else they could suggest.

NEATFG (I kinda like this plate simple nothing arrogant and doesn't suggest anything)
SLOWFG
BLONXR
BLWNXR
KNEBEL (KENNE BELL)
SLWXR8
YBSLO4
MINTFG
FGXR80
FG8330 (330ci)
SLOW54

I tried that but VicRoads in all its wisdom said it was to offensive??? go figure?? I also tried YBGAY4.. tight arses!

Yeah i can do that man!

BLUXR8 going by your old theme

FG - 330 would look tidy...

but thats me. when i see commodores like neat vy or mint vz bleh i think gay prob because the cars are too new like yea its mint its an FG lol most of them are still mint!

BLKPHN · Post by **BLKPHN** » August 23rd, 2012, 10:44 am

Yeah BLUXR8 just doesn't seem right even though its the same theme as BLKPHN.

FG 330 does seem pretty neat too. the only problem i can see with it is that all the 330 GT's will have a combination like that

Post by **EFFalcon** » August 23rd, 2012, 11:01 am

330 GT's?

arn't they 335's?

Knebel sounds good, not every one would understand them I think though

braad · Post by **braad** » August 23rd, 2012, 12:43 pm

KNEBEL would demand respect without being wanky. Only car people would understand

what you said earlier about smooth & simple suiting the FG is right. So many FG's in Sydney that are overdone with crazy/too big wheels

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » August 23rd, 2012, 1:58 pm

KNEBEL would be pretty tuff.. non car people would wtf tho lol.

FG 330 seems like its saying 330kw?

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 23rd, 2012, 2:11 pm

lol non car people would probably think cannibal

Yeah KNEBEL would be good for people who understand what it is... It was what I originally thought to get but it need one vital ingredient to make it.. which looks to be not far away.

ClassicAU · Post by **ClassicAU** » August 23rd, 2012, 3:41 pm

I was going to put BLWN5L on my AU if I kept it, so my suggestions are BLWNFG or BLNBOS (blown boss) or BLWN54

Post by **pHaT`eL** » August 23rd, 2012, 4:21 pm

SLOW54 would be my bet
