Hey guys
This is my car, yes its a Ford I know what your all thinking, but although im a Ford man I also have a real soft spot for Holdens, and am considering upgrading to a manual VY SS or something similar early next year. Hence me introducing my self now.

Anyway about the car, its a 2002 AUIII XR6 5 speed with factory optioned rebel kit.
When i got it about 4 months ago it was completely stock apart from ugly chromies, since then ive done the following:
exhaust - custom 2.5" catback consisting of some sort of high flow muffler, rear resonator, twin stainless tips, and a high flow cat. (very deep gurgly sound, esspecially with the slightly lumpy cam of the ticky motor, i often get asked if its a V8, oh and plenty of backfire on deceleration :D)
staggered 19" silver speedy cheetahs - 245/35/19 khumo KU19s on front and 265/30/19 cheap shitty 'hero' things on the back
JVC bluetooth and ipod head unit with some factory looking radio pocket, alpine amp, eclipse sub
smoothed out & painted air box lid, XR6T snorkle, dodge home made lower snorkle, K&N high flow panel filter
and then just some small things like:
EL fan belt cover
tinted tail lights
de-badged
fairmont carpet boot lid liner
white LED interior light

Next on the list is super lows, 3" intake pipe, extractors

picsss (sorry i tend to go a bit mental with pics)
When i first got it:

absolutely agree! Can't stand the headlights on them. But otherwise its nice and clean, especially the engine bay..

Apart from the obvious problem that its a ford it looks pretty tough.. Definately lower it though

Nice one mate, nothin wrong with the old blue oval. Although yes the AU was the ugliest motherf'kin Falcon ever produced! Ah well.

thanks guys, was kinda hoping there would be a little more un-biased positive feed back, but yeah you get that.

Anyway got my tax back so bought superlows yesterday and put them in today, and also bought some extractors which im hoping to get installed soon.

appologies for it being filthy, ive kinda given up on washing it for now cos everytime it rains the next day haha.

I think you'll find everyones just stirring you a bit... And i think pretty much everyone gave you good feedback :beer chug: and in all honesty its probably easily the best AU i have ever seen..
