Please read the entire ad!!!
For sale is my 2008 Ford FG Falcon XR8. I bought this car with the intention of turning it into the wildest FG XR8 in the world - a 2000hp+ street car. Having 9 cars and a bunch of projects on the go, I have decided to let a few of them go due to space restraints.
I had this car professionally resprayed in Breeze, an extremely rare colour. So rare I cannot determine exact figures, but it is the best colour to come out on the FG. If you don't want attention, this car/colour is not for you. The colour is unique, it appears greeny/turquoise in the sun, but a racey blue in the shade/photos. As you can see, we installed a large custom reverse scoop which was necessary to house a custom intake manifold. The paint is a few months old, looks magic with a wash. The headlights and taillights have also been tinted with black candy to give it that smoked out appearance.
Windows are also tinted.
At present, the car is stock, except for Hurricane 4 into 1 extractors which I had ceramic coated, and a full stainless steel X-Force exhaust. Sounds good, not too loud, adds a little power.
The engine, transmission and diff have been fully serviced. Everything runs as it should. I have also renewed all the suspension, control arms, wheel bearings, the lot. This car has been my daily transport, so reliability was a must.
Interior is in very good condition, except for the ICE display screen. It had some sun damage, and needs to be replaced. Everything works, but you cannot see the screen. To this point it hasn't bothered me, but it was on my list of things to upgrade.
I did change out the original front seats for some Bride Illest seats, because the fronts were worn. I do not have these anymore, so if you don't like the racing seats, you'd need to supply some new one's.
CMY805 ( See My Boss ) custom number plates will go with the car at no extra cost, if wanted.
Reduced to 25k for a quick sale.
EXTRAS AVAILABLE-
Now, as I mentioned earlier, I had intended on building this into a wild street car, and purchased the following parts from Modular Motorsports Racing ( MMR ) in the USA. They are the go-to guys for high performance Ford modular parts. Below is a list of parts I purchased, which you can view on their website if you require more information:
MMR Race Mod 5.4 Rotating Assembly with the following upgrades - 9310 piston pins, ARP crankshaft/balancer bolt, MMR Hurricane oil pump with billet gears ( lifetime warranty ), crankshaft balancing, ARP head studs, "REDFIRE" piston coating, ARP main studs, Manley high performance valve springs, MMR pro timing chain kit, Comp cams forced induction chamshafts, Extreme duty head gaskets, 4v head rebuild kit, oil pan gaskets.
I also have a fully fabricated twin turbo setup to suit Boss engine. It comprises of 2 x Pulsar GT42 turbos rated at 1450hp each, a huge intercooler, all manifolds/piping, and a custom fabricated intake manifold.
I also have an ASR high volume oil sump.
In total, around $35,000 in parts and fabrication. If someone wants to take this setup, I am open to negotiation on it, however happy to keep it.
