Boosted Falcon

haha cheers mate. needs a new bonnet now tho
are u wanting to buy the wheel or the whole car? if i get this particular car im goin to look at then the lane will be for sale i think... dont think i could afford to have 3 cars...

just the steering wheel, i got a standard one ya could put on it to sell, or another wood grain one.

ahh ok... i still have the original leather one here. when i sell the car i might swap em back over and sell it to ya... these woodgrain ones are pretty hard to get ya hands on so i snapped it up as soon as i saw it...

no worries mate just let me know

Pitty your in vic cause if you do sell this then i would snap it up.

haha cheers mate. all it is is a simple flight to melb and an easy, reliable and smoothe ride home...
can't go wrong.

Haahaha ur missing the part of money lol.

thats ok he will take it off the price of the car lol

haha pay your own transport...

i've had the last 2 days off work and been to a few car yards to look at some cars, mainly au ltd's, ba fairlanes, au and ba xr8's and none of them were that great... i know my car in the end is only a shitty old fairlane but when i got back into it i felt its the only one i was satisfied with. lol weird as.
so in other words, i think im hanging onto this old girl for a while yet...

so in deciding i'm gunna keep it for a while i went to a couple of exhaust joints and priced up pacey extractors, high flow steel cats (exhaust joint told me best available), and 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust.
one joint quoted me $2130 and the other, $2000.
now this seams a bit expansive to me so i wanna know what other peoples ideas are and if there are any other alternatives to this set up...
or does anyone have a full system for sale in good nic?

cheers - jarrod

aw shit... any pics of the new beast?

everyone seems to be leaving the e-series group lately for a ba/f

mi old man took a couple of photo's on his phone. didnt have the intention of buying one today but took it for a spin and couldnt resist. doesnt go as hard as a turbo but plenty good enuff for me. it makes the right noise and is fully optioned... except sunroof

How much for the wheels?

i took a ba xr8 for a drive today. was a 4 speed and compared to the bf i bought (a 6 speed auto) it didnt seem much chop. it didnt sit on the road as nice or go as well and the steering felt a bit sloppy compared to the bf and just seemed dodgey in general. i dont know too much about b series' tho. that particuar one may have just been a lemon.

yeah, the one im looking at is a '03 manual, so im not getting too excited, that and the fact its massively overpriced even though its low kms and mint, dosnt seem to have any options other than leather, so yeah, we will see how negotiable they are.

fair enuff. good luck with it, hope it all goes good.
r u gunna keep the ef? u havent had that for very long

im not sure, it wont be worth trading, so il probably keep it. its still a tidy old bus

damn this does suck but what can i say enjoy the b-series mate sure to keep in touch

good news. im not trading the lane now. still gettin the xr but not worth trading the lane.
i will still sell the bits and pieces if anyone is interested or sell it as is. has to go to a good home tho

lol, what did they offer you on a trade? less than a grand?

its weird. i think he tried to stooge me. he said i can return it to stock and he would give me 2500 and then i was looking at the paper work and it said trade in $1000
so i rang him up and asked if i could just bring the extra grand and he said that was fine. lol i now own 3 cars. will have to get rid of a couple

I might be keen on the GTP's, will let you know in a week or so

no worries mate. they arent in 100% condition but are pretty good. i will get pics up sometime soon

Fark I hate that, Ford dealers are the worst for it - you gotta wonder how many sales they lose like that.

lol, it was at a holden dealership this time

looks tidy mate

yup, looks good all right

this poor old nc is all back to original now

i have the ultra low springs and shortened struts for sale. they probably only ever traveled about 20,000 km's tops. if anyone is interested, make a reasonable offer.
i also have the momo woodgrain steering wheel for sale if someone offers the right price (wont be letting it go cheaply)

the car is potentially sold, but if the sale falls through, the car is for sale at 4,000 bucks. that's with a roady and 11 months rego. just got serviced today and is running a treat.
