Boosted Falcon

So i was at the coast this morning and i took some new pics of the car, i seem to just take photos and add them for no reason?

ohwell

you like the way your car looks! lol its nice, but dislike the "jetpilot" sticker lol

ok so an update to the machine...

After ebaying for a 5 speed conversion for a while now, i finally got one, perfect price and perfect location, $615 for the whole kit, gearbox,clutch assembly,tail shaft,el xr6 ecu, center console,pedal box.. you no everything.. im bloody stoked, going to pick it up tomorrow hopefully, then should be having a bash at fitting it next weekend, gotta get myself a spigot bearing and have been told that a malwood clutch pedal pin is the way to go, instead of removing everything for the bloody pedal box haha!

anyway thats about it for now, will keep you posted

Thats awsome nay i wish i could hellp you fit it.come down ill do it with ya

Needs a wash and some photos with a 5+ Megapixel camera.

But other than that looks good.

ok so an update, no pics yet...
well no pics needed, the falcon is now manual! started about 9am finished about 6pm, would had all the gearbox and shit in by 12, spent the rest of that day absolutely FARKING around with the pedal box, oh my god what a mission that is, i will never do another manual conversion if a pedal box is involved, apart from that everything seems to be good, somehow my globes in my cluster are blown, well revs and fuel, probably from piss farting around with the dash,
Anyway, nothing much else to say

an update to my last post, my speedo is like 20 k's out i think, went onto the highway (100 zone) and my speedo was roughly on 80 and yet i was driving nicely around everyone,
do i need to swap the speedo cable and that over from my auto box to manual box?

YES like i told you to swap the speedo send from the auto to the manual

nice looking car, you have done well. Where did u get that spray for the indicators from?? i Didnt even realise it come in a can.

yeah its VHT nightshades, from super cheap about 20 bucks a can,

And thankyou for your comments,


to another add ive been out cruising tonight, raced a few people haha, mostly schoolie kids in there p plate stock pulsars and that, however i did race a guy in an auto bf xr8, so i think it was, and i bloody kept up till the 60k speed limit then backed off hahaha, probably wasnt even trying

anyway its off to bed for me

spent a bit this morning cleaning the car, gave it a quick polish too, came up alright,


also got some mesh from super cheap and made a basic grill for the bottom,



manual much?

thats sweet,, has come such a long way since the first photo when it was stock haha top job mate looks shmick

went down to super cheap the other day and picked up these babies for 60 bucks! saw them in the catalogue, instantly thought they would be that really cheap feeling stuff, turns out there pretty good!



and 2 matching floor mats

sorry man im not a fan of the seat covers and especialy the steering wheel cover, get some xr interio, they go prity cheap sometimes on ebay

I hate you. You've done (exterior) stuff to your EL that I want to and it looks good. It'll be interesting to see who's EL is quicker. By rights it should be yours.

nice ride man..

not a fan of the seat covers or steering wheel, they look shit.... Im liking the
look of the exterior though....

Pick up a set of fairlane driving lights for the front.

I'm not a fan of leaving those round holes in the front spoiler 'empty'. It just looks like somethings missing.

But i am loving the tickford bodykit, really does suit the car!!

Id love to see this with a xr front end with this colour i reckon it would look sweet as
