Boosted Falcon

Yes its true ive bought a ford first one in over 4 years!!

I still have my calais and have no intention of selling but after recently selling my vy 5.7ltr wagon daily i decided i wanted a ute holden utes seem pull way too much money so after looking at them for a while i set out looking for anything from au xr6/xr8 to ba xr6/xr8.

Was very lucky that just as my wagon was close to being sold my mate offered this bad boy to me and i couldnt say no!

So here it is 2004 silver BA XR6 Turbo ute very happy with it so far. 100% stock cept the rims.





My plans are to first get it RWC and registered in Vic then i wanna tidy it up a bit. Wanna keep it pretty stock being a daily thinking maybe just little things like an f6 cooler, maybe paint the rims black, and maybe stuff around with the stereo down the track.

I would love a turbo ute, looks great!

Few more pics

You already know what I think!

Time to sell the Calais and get a F6

Love silver - my last daily was silver and I never washed it, still looked good! Now own a black car for the first time, and NEVER again!

Cheers Justin. Yer not quite clean yet needs a few things tidied up but should be sweet.

Yer look i love the black on my calais never really bothered me before. But washing 2 cars is just shit so im glad this one is silver.

Also wilson i just bought a k&n filter your farked now.

Hey i dont mind my dream will come true then i can take it to the wreckers haha.

Tristan you know your way around these things come help me find the fuel filter haha

Lol look who's back. I've had a work LS1 man, stock BA XR6T is way better in my books

Fuel filter is about 3/4 of the way down towards the rear of the car, follow the fuel line you'll see it.

sorry if its been said max but auto or manual?

Sunny yer man each to their own i guess. I love the v8 thats prob not gonna change lol

Gilly cheers dude i had a look on xr6t forums haha found it on there.

Dylan its auto mate brand new auto in fact put in a yr ago.

So anyway i was servicing it... something just didnt seem right

All good now!!!



But yer on a serious note going dyno day tomorrow... got new air filter, oxy sensor, fuel filter, and wd 40d the old boost something or rather hopefully it still runs tomorrow i havent really taken it for a test drive.

well bugger me, it has been done. i thought dan was going to be the first..^^^

It's so hard to stay ahead of the game these days.

How much power did you lose doing that conversion?

Haha funny shit!

Well ran it at a local dyno day today in heidelberg with a few of the boys pulled 197rwkw! i was pretty damn stoked cause at the start of the day cars were running pretty low figures i thought id pull out something embarrassing!

Hahaha, I put one of them on my car today, mate had one he got from work.

197 is pretty good for a full stocker mate.just needs cooler, exhaust , v/springs, injectors , intake

Yer i was pretty happy with it. do that and your also up for a built auto... gonna keep this one fairly stock.. stock cars are the best anyway!

nice purchase Max, ill be looking and something similar to that very soon.

Real bored tonight so thought id update this!

No huge updates on the ute but i threw a 12" sub and amp from my calais pumps now haven't had subs in years!!!
Also got some new xr6 and xr6t badges new driving lights cheers to Justin (Tuffcar parts). Painted my cooler silver Sorted out the tray got all the bars and bits and pieces ive been missing.

All i have left on my list is:
- New rear xr6 skirt and paint tailgate
- And maybe some minor lowering blocks!
- Maybe paint the wheels black (Cant find the photoshop Wilson did for me... do you have it John???)

Ill try get some pics but really lol looks the same in photos i guess but i havent washed it in almost a month so hopefully soon i can wash it and take some pics!

I cbf making another thread but i lowered my calais first time in almost 1.5years back to its old SSL height no troubles with scrubbing the rear rims so i was quite excited!!! Like i said im bored but for anyone interested here it is!

Go major low on the ute!! you know you want to
and gotta be the first time I've seen your wheels and taken notice!!
they both look good man!

Haha cheers man. nah no way no major low i dunno when but ive become a hack driver i keep driving over kerbs and gutter rashing rims and flying over the speed humps hahaha so the ute with its high suspension and rough rims suits me great for daily duties. My mate got some lowering blocks just lower then fpv meh looks alright.

Well ill wash the ute and get pics tomorrow now that some fucksticks just egged the shit out of it out front yay

good power for a dead stocker mate.

calais looks great u should make a thread for it, most (well some anyway) arent that biased.
what size's are the fr's?
cheers josh.

lovin that shot of the calais max.
u takin it out tomorrow?

Josh i prob wont be updating a huge amount on the BA haha so i can just throw pics of the calais on here. They are 19s 8.5" front 9.5" rear im pretty sure or could be 8 front 9 rear lol something like that.

Yea John i plan too thats why i lowered it a bit but i dunno i might just go to the 2nd meet point at 12. Because im off to grand final celebrations today cars filthy (pics dont show) but i need to clean it and with this rain and gf i doubt ill get a chance to wash it today.

They really are stupid for making cruise gf weekend i think.

hahaha looks like i slept right through C4C lol that'll teach them to make it after grand final at daylight savings and away from bundoora cop that street commodores hahaha

Also car isnt insured... mmm thats heaps of excuses right there

VZ looks mint Max!

Any idea on the offset for the rear rims?

Just checked the stickers they are 8" front and 9" rear and the offset front says 43.0 and rear says 3.0

To be honest i have no idea what that means lol but maybe you do.
