+1 for Flappist, worthy comments really, for the coin you are talking an old and probably unreliable car that will cost more to maintain in the long run. It costs a lot to convert a XR6 to either Turbo or V8, anything before these will be wiped by most LS1's. Save your coin more and buy a newer XR6T with low km's, or give up on beating your mates, for the record I had a modified AU XR8 and still struggled to keep up with my mates in their LS1's, it wasn't until I got the Turbo that I could put them in my rear vision mirror.

You will struggle to buy anything v8 for under 10g that can beat an LS1 sadly, better off with an XR6T to do that, or a pretty well modded BOSS 290 and above, you would need one hell of alot of coin to make an old Windsor faster than LS1s
I've driven my mates VY SS ute a few times and he has none of the mods my XR8 does, and his eats mine alive, its a monster and I would love a Falcon with the same power this thing makes, Seriously mate for what you want to do, buy an XR6T, save so much hassle and time, unless you are prepared to spend up big on you N/A

Just remember this; You will void your insurance with this kit which will most likely not only risk total $ loss to yourself if something goes wrong but risk ruining someone elses' car and not being able to cover their repair costs as well because your insurer will wipe their hands of you.. You will not pass a roadworthy with this kit and risk a canary and having to remove it all together when you get caught then getting stuck with a useless gigantic shinny garden snail... Every $ you spend on that kit will be a total loss (plus some) when you come to sell, as opposed to just buying a factory turbo car which will retain a far greater % of its total outlay cost, not to mention being infinitely easier to sell in the first place. It seems like total false economy to me.....

You have been told by several people who have owned more falcons than you have sat in, been driving and working on cars since before you were born and your father had left school not to do it but you just ignore everyone. Do you REALLY think that it is possible to turn a $30k (new) falcon into a $50k (new) holden beater for $3k? There is a thread in here about "pig headed".........actually it looks like there are now 2.....actually 4 if you count all your others. Don't ask for advice if all you want is affirmation......you will be marked as an idiot and eventually ignored by everyone. |

INSURANCE, ROAD WORTHINESS - YOUR LIFE TO CONSIDER.
Cap locks may be the only way of putting across some very valid points that have been made by other members who have had a lot of experience. It seems to me that what ever car you choose won't be in one piece for very long, so put plenty of money aside for repairs. |

Same general questions in 4 different places, completely ignoring much in the way of good realistic advice... these threads have been a good way for someone to raise their post count and get into the for sale section
