FGII-XR6 · 07-05-2013, 12:33 PM

still got mine. just picked it up after getting a new roof lining. remember AUs don't breakdown as often as other falcons

**GasoLane** · 07-05-2013, 02:14 PM

Yes we are paying attention to AU Falcon.com......see !!

Just bringing a bit of class to Riff Raff area.

ronwest · 07-05-2013, 02:55 PM

No probs with mine.

It just sits in the back yard deteriorating :(

I'm thinking I'll round up all the bits and pieces and sell it all at a price too good to refuse.

jpblue1000 · 07-05-2013, 03:04 PM

I am to busy fixing mine to be on the internet.
No seriously wish the spring guy was as busy, had my leaves for 13 days and still hasn't touched them for a 3 inch resetting. 13 days! says they might be ready early next week...and I'm paying real money too not a favour, pfffft
Cant do the rest of the bushes, ball joints and rack ends till I have the rear springs, then I ned to head to central Vic where my spare ute is to pull its motor as this one has dropped numbers 3 and 4 (140psi vs 210 elsewhere) and vibrates like a pig, then I can attend the damage to the cab 1/4 left by the previous owner and rust to windscreen surround thanks to god I guess.
Too busy to be here i'm off

Gee back in the olden days blokes like GasOLane and Co. would have just got 2 blocks of wood cut to the prescribed height and heated the springs till the car dropped to the said block allowed to cool naturally with the occasional brush with recycled sump oil (see we were eco friendly back then ) and back on the road with in 2 hours tops

jpblue1000 · 07-05-2013, 04:41 PM

They are probably not doing much different to that, they just need to do it! It wont get done if they don't start!

Hey if you want me to post about the million or so things that i need help with to get my baby back to good health..i sure can do that!

XRGhia · 07-05-2013, 08:02 PM

I'd post about how to fix stuff, but 1. I need to have an AU in my possession (currently at the tuners) to break stuff on it, and 2. I know how to fix pretty much anything in/on it, haha.

EvilChief · 07-05-2013, 09:28 PM

I am still waiting for mine to come back from the tuners ... till then the other one still has no engine lol

needaXYGT · 07-05-2013, 09:40 PM

Mines getting a new clutch as well new welch plugs which means pulling the engine out. Plus a new steering rack and a full detail, starting this week when I get time!

SantoAU · 07-05-2013, 11:14 PM

I read through all of the TerminatorS build and am now on the hunt for a wrecked SVT Cobra. And that damned money tree...

InfernoSR · 08-05-2013, 01:26 PM

I've been keeping more towards my own build threads of late, otherwise i use the search function before posting :P

DUDE your "ALIVE"

havent had a decent challenge from these young uns since you retired and became a recluse

Defiantly come along for the weekend and we will have to catch up with a few drinks and tales of years gone by

revcore · 09-05-2013, 08:43 AM

All is well with my 5.0 AU ute....Running beautifully.

Maka · 09-05-2013, 09:10 AM

My AU is all good but, i'm keeping an eye on my odometer - its getting a little hard to read when driving in daylight, it seems half the readout is brighter than the other half. At night its fine but in daylight meh! Anyone else seen this before? Other than that its going good atm

cheers, Maka

mik · 09-05-2013, 11:52 AM

It has been a bit quite on here lately, but they are a pretty good limo, will be looking at doing rear main on mine down the track as I'm starting to get a bit of seapage(not bad it took 12 years to leak), will do walsh plugs at the same just in case.

**Polyal** · 09-05-2013, 11:58 AM

Yeap mine is purring along, just cosmetic wear and tear stuff to fix up.

Speaking of Terminator..I was thinking how much Id love a T2/T1 with a BOSS302R snug in there with a manual...ohhhh Even the standard coyote (US spec) would be nice.

Is it wrong to remove the windsor from such a beast? How much would you need to dump into a Windsor to see 300kw NA?

Tickford Rebel · 09-05-2013, 12:27 PM

Hey we're talking AU's here... Nothing goes wrong with AU's

Here"s a first for you all those who know me and my XR realise its a daily that gets driven the way Mr.Tickford intend, Well as it happens I have inherited a BAXR6 for a few months so for the first time in its life the XR is cleaned and in the shed for a day or 2

Haha Retired - far from it , just got caught up in life's BS usual story.

New one is a 01 xr8 ute auto in black and mainly a temporary work pig , once its served its purpose in 6 months hopefully it will become a lil project and aim to hit the strips again.
I'll try come to the nats for a squizz and chin wag.

cheer Joel

I always thought that the one thing the AU's lacked to match the future look were the future engines. No offence to the T3 lads and lasses intended, the 5.6 is a mighty beast.
