Boosted Falcon

I prefer GUNXR8, the orange paint is too ricey for me, I would have prefered JETXR with the purple paint and door moulds.

I can appreciate the hard work gone into JETXR and GUNXR8 but in my eyes they are definately not the best eseries in Australia. Tuffed6, Sinans EL, Rollins xr6 and all the other esieres that are built AND ARE driven hard are in my mind, better cars.

Its a show car more than anything but, and it ticks all the boxes to be the best E series show car IMO. Only thing GUNXR8 is 'lacking' is the wow factor when you look at it as it just looks like an XR8 on rims really.

True,But if you look closer its alot more then just an XR8 on rims.
TUFED6 is one of the best around but take away the drive line and engine and its just a white ED.
There all unique in there own way. Only thing GUNXR8 is missing imo is boost.

But there are 2 types of show cars. The clean ones and the custom ones. I mean put stockies on GUNXR8 and a trolley dent in the door its just another ED. But because of how tidy it is its awesome. JETXR is pretty much all custom, it stands out. I mean if you dont notice that driving by there's something wrong with u.

I agree with you on that one.

Honestly if this thing saw the road often i'd be very surprised, many people may be familiar with the yellow VL turbo [XCHASER]. Besim drives the car heaps on the road also people like luke odea (who i believe is on here?) with his blue turbo el xr6 that i see on the road a fair bit. These in my opinion are real tuff cars not trying to take away from jet & these cars may be no where near as insane but thats what i would rather see.

Nope,No NOS,No phoon kit. Just a cold air intake and some extractors lol. The plates are SX11XR

Was it in street fords the was a red one had a huge cooler on the front and was running nos. NA engine

I just had a look at the mag then and it dosnt say anything about NOS
Maybe theres another one.

lol there's two....................

the one I remember was bright red, cooler, custom red retrim, and a stereo. Was owned by a DJ. I think its the one Shyper means.

Yeh we are all talking about the same car lol.
I just read it and it says nothing about NOS in the story but theres a NOS tank in the boot and under INTERIOR it says imitaton NOS bottle. So we got that cleared up

imitaton NOS bottle? how F***ing gay can ya get?

Just got street fords and all I can say is WOW.

That JETXR has had a lot of money spent on it.

Haha yeah the na xr6 with fake cooler and fake nos bottle. I nearly burnt the magazine wtf were street ford's thinking to put that in there. Super gay just like fake brembo brake covers hahaha.

Is Street Fords owned by WILDEB now?

Haha yeah remember reading that article. 'Imitation nitrous bottle'.. wtf!

I personally love JETXR, always have. I dont mind it in the orange, and I've always hated the front bar but give him kudo's for being different. The interior is friggen sweet minus the monster tacho! Shoudl have left it purple imo... more suited to the E-series. I dont reckon JETXR can be compared to GUNXR8 and vice versa, not in their league, sure they're both E-series but I'd have to say JETXR takes the cake for EF/EL and GUNXR8 probably takes the cake for EA-ED.

Why does the owner of street ford own an eb

But it's not just any eb tho, it's legendary, wild and mysterious.

I've seen it a couple of times. Pretty sure I even saw it cruising the hwy on riot night in Noble Park a few years ago...

same. Had a super fucked diff when i saw it lol

Had a look at the issue.... the car looks even better than expected.... The bay looks mint, but he shouldve fucked the overflow
thing off and had something hidden next to the radiator rather than sitting on the strut tower like normal

Very good to look at :-)

I still remember, 5 years ago reading Street Machine during my tafe break down in sydney, and drooling over JETXR then, for some reason i now have a turbo EL

I wish i had the $$$ and space to get my EL even half close.

You could do it for cheaper than 100K too.

Shaun you should know what goes into building a car, this guy has had two paint jobs (MINT ones) full custom interior, unique wheels which i'm guessing other people don't have because they can't afford it, one of, if not THE first to do a BA conversion in E-Series + the rest, i'm sure it would have been alot cheaper if he done it all this way the first time round.

People would think it'd cost about $7k to build a car like yours, but i'm SURE you spent alot more than that! I can see how this guy would have spent $100k, I personally would never spend that kinda cash...but if you have the money, why not ay.

As for Streetfords, seems like anyone can get into it lol, it's good seeing something mint like this for once.

Any donkey could get their car in Street Fords now. They'll take just about anything from what I've seen. Your car can be 5 different shades of the same colour and covered in stone chips, and you'll get a decent spread.

Hell, my EA even almost got in They were ready to go, but I wanted it neater lol.

I remember creaming my jocks as a teenage red P-Plater with an EA that had BBM, pod filter and chopped rear resonator. He was god to me, the whole thing was SUPERB and innovative beyond it's years - the whole build was executed perfectly, top to bottom.

Anyone who drops serious dollars like that on older cars is in to some form of criminal activity they say.

Read up on MRCRX, MRWRX etc. from BITD.

Being that JETXR was one of the first if not the first with the BA conversion I have no doubt that the car has no than likely seen every part of 100k.
In saying that knowing what we do now and a few more cars having the conversion and custom etc etc probably could be done cheaper these days but not when this was first built. If that makes sense.

I love JETXR personally first time I saw it I as amazed and now its even better. Love the colour, wheels and engine bay!

Shit if someone told me I could have built my car into what it is now for 7k 3 years ago I would have saved shit loads lol.

I got an EB GL the other day. I reckon I could have it looking like yours with similar performance, interior and suspension / wheel mods for under 5k if I TRIED hard enough or used some bits and pieces I already have

or rather than some sort of illegal activity you could just be good at what you do, and make money accordingly... **** plenty
of people over here in WA working away that could afford to build something like this... some people are just lucky AND/or
work very hard....

who gives a shit how much it cost... It aint your money, so why worry about it ... Its a mint car, irrespective of what it
cost to build... Leave your accountant to worry about the $$$$

Yeah, don't be so quick to judge guys! There's more chances of him being a legit hard working bloke than a drug dealer.

Although there's alot of cars out there built with drug money, but lets just take pride in not doing it the easy way!

If you aren't building cars with the fruits of a Thailand drug operation, your doin it wrong...
