TRYME Member 313 Member For: 3y 10m 21d Posted 14/05/21 05:44 AM Share Posted 14/05/21 05:44 AM For all those interested, the guy who did the G6E turbo AWD conversion (don't know if he's a member on here or not) has after a long long time put up an update video on YouTube giving an update on the car... and in the comments section is apparently considering starting a business in which he will convert FG and FGX falcons to AWD for customers.. I for one am very keen to see how this pans out. I always thought it was territory running gear and so did many others in fact it isn't (I'm not connected or affiliated with the guy don't know him at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRYME Member 313 Member For: 3y 10m 21d Posted 14/05/21 08:15 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/21 08:15 AM Damn.... I was hoping the 10-12k mark max 15k don't know if I'd pay 20, guess will have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tucker Donating Members 673 Member For: 5y 6m 15d Posted 14/05/21 08:38 AM Share Posted 14/05/21 08:38 AM Yeah old mate scoffed at a figure of $10k someone else suggested. Fair enough, looks like significant engineering has gone into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 673 Member For: 5y 6m 15d Posted 14/05/21 09:41 AM Share Posted 14/05/21 09:41 AM Yeah, I think $10k is reasonable. $15k is pushing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want AWD do what Puff has done that's the go. Or put the barra in a lighter car... solved and cheaper and still RWD. I don't even understand why there would be a market for this especially at 15-20k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffwagon Trust me bro... Gold Donating Members 16,056 Member For: 9y 11m 16d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 14/05/21 10:27 AM Share Posted 14/05/21 10:27 AM I want awd lol but it comes down to preference really. Awd helps you pick up speed insanely quick on the street, compared to rwd. Rwd can pull sick skids but so can awd with enough power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRYME Member 313 Member For: 3y 10m 21d Posted 14/05/21 10:42 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/21 10:42 AM (edited) People would want awd coz of the traction advantage and the fact you can do 0-100 in sub 3 seconds like the guy has achieved what's yuck about that? I understand it's not for everyone but hey horses for courses. It is a lot of money though I agree Edited 14/05/21 10:43 AM by TRYME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
