[@MarkManson14]

Welcome back! Missed you last week, I hope all is well.👍🇦🇺

[@craigtibbetts2925]

Sounds as awesome as it looks mate. My only pet hate is the damn plastic headlight oxidation! Love your content always 🏆

[@kerrypierre9494]

After all the setbacks and hard work, it was fun to see the big grin on your face while doing the burnout. Nice job Mark, she looks great in and out 😁😎👍🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrToranaGuy]

Mark, I won't rag on you for having it on gas. If it's a daily driver, it's a good way to save some cash on your fuel bill. You just need a gas system that has the ability to support the power your making, get it tuned right, and then cruise a lot cheaper than on petrol. Trouble with gas is that few people install a system good enough, so you end up with it lacking power and get upset with it. I've got gas on a few of my vehicles, the best systems are the injected gas, have it on my eb2 ghia, wifes ba xr8 (liquid injection - bloody awesome), and gas injection on my daily driver bmw e39 v8, a AC Stag Qmax Plus system. Injected gas is awesome. Cheap running on gas, and no restrictions for when your running on petrol. I've got an Impco 425 on my EB S XR8, it's pretty good for the mild v8 around town, made a custom adapter so it actually fit, as usually the ford v8s ended up with an impco 225 on them, which is really undersized. What gas system is on it?

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

Impco 425 s are great hey. 460cfm from memory. Many moons ago I had 1 setup on a 465holley 4 barrel baseplate & an Aussiespeed 4barrel manifold to suit 250xflow with an E Convertor plumbed closely. A 425 would work great with a 5l Windsor if someone wanted straight gas. Could get away with more compression too. Cheers

[@MrToranaGuy]

​@@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441with a custom fabricated adapter and a custom top had to hook the impco 425 to your air flow meter, I fabricated my own bits, to clear the strut tower, you can run an impco 425 on a efi Windsor v8, I did that on my eb s xr8 for year's.

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

@@MrToranaGuy great idea. I'd never considered a 425 / efi combo. Very usable. Cheers

[@user-ql2ll4vp9o]

Nice job mate, good to see you back 👍

[@tiperformance]

Glad it's finally back on the road and you're happy with the tune mate! Sounds tough as and it ripped 2nd haha!

[@bobpayne5931]

I have an beautiful au 2 v8 has a control that adjust clutch in auto to make it quick to shift . Also I run water menthol as I run nitros with heater blanket and 10 pound bottle with jets at 125 hp at the wheels , also have stall converter at 2000 . Have new headers and straight thru 2 half inch exhaust with on muffler . I love my old girl and she is immaculate inside and out . Well done on your job so far . 😊

[@arm_luvr1002]

Thanks God you finally did that hood lining lol

[@lukeclarke1068]

Roof lining is a cunt of a thing to get right. Something I haven’t been able to nail yet. Credit to anyone that can do it right.

[@chawalitD]

Very well done bloke. The tune seems to have made a noticeable difference and that hood lining job looked like a headache. But the cars come up mint.

[@abstract0014]

Love the 302 windsor stuff.

[@patrickaussieMilartry]

Love the Wheels dude I love all FORD Land yachts. Beautiful. I have a BF G8 Fairlane 5.4 230 kw stock but absolutely pristine 100.000kms 2006 model only 153 were manufactured. She is beautiful on the road. The last of the fairlanes.!,!😔😔👍. Also I have a P5 LTD AND P6 LTD MONARCH. JUST BEAUTIFUL.

[@drob3984]

90s ford crappy clear coat and shit roof liners got to love them keep up the great content mate

[@knight2425]

Michael and Luke from Dents Away will look after you, I’ve used them a few times on my cars and can’t recommend them highly enough. They come to you, go around your car and highlight every dent (even some you don’t know about) then price how far you want to go, reasonably priced and get your car dead straight, great guys also.

[@richardtravers2436]

Well done Mark the au Fairlane looks and sounds tough, certainly worth all the stress and headaches it given you getting it back on the road to be a reliable daily driver. 👍

[@wildstallionbby6369]

Outstanding persistence Looks & sounds Soo good!! What a great result from the sunken battleship lol back from the dead & biting harder than judge on schmackos

[@markmathews206]

The clear coat on my blue au2 xr6 is what drove me to sell it. Miss it a lot

Awesome mate. Sounds great.

[@stringybarkin]

Sounds great, good job on the headliner as well

Please do another AU project. They're a great affordable Ozzy project car.

[@simonbull473]

Nice work Mark car sounds awesome. Just one thing u need to clean those headlight lenses up👌

[@paulkarwacki7119]

You can get a 175kw to do this by just blueprinting. No tune or camshaft required. I would do standstill LSD burnouts on 235/45/17's with the old BTR!! 😆

Great content Mark. Yeah be careful mate. Don't wanna see you get in trouble. Please do take care and staysafe. From William. Mount Gambier-South Australia.

[@RagdollRacingInc]

Mark mate that Fairlane is looking and sounding sick as 👌

[@terryevans7731]

There is a plenum gasket that works much better than goop, and they compensate for slight warps in the surface, no mess at all and about the same price as the tube of ultra grey

[@towking_]

It's a beAUtiful day 🎉🎉

[@stevendurieu6938]

Good vid mark , It sounds nice ive been thinking about doing a cam swap on my au xr8 👌👍

[@petergoodberg9786]

love the AU fairlane wish i had one

[@StephenFogarty2023]

It looks great & sounds fantastic. Good burnout. 🔥 The new headlining looks mint I’m sure Andrea will b very happy driving it. Lovely vehicle 🚗 💥💨

[@MrOtscott87]

should try and find a wrecking AU LTD and do a whole interior swap, grille too. Sounds nice

[@gregsmith3366]

Nice job👌we didn’t get the misses option 🤔

[@romeostojanovski6806]

Awesome

[@zacsborntorunrunningadvent3441]

Nice Induction Roar. Being heavy the AU Fairlane 5.0l Id highly recommend a 2500rpm stall. 2000rpm stall is basically standard yeah (1800-2000rpm). Cam sounds great & is the J3 chip customised by you or pre loaded edit? Cheers

[@dylanmorgan1440]

Sounds great.

[@tony.benfield8499]

Stress to success with a simple bit of wheel spin and smoke, weeeeee

[@pnr9730]

Awesome mate 🎉

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

It’s a shame about the clear on this era of car. Seen plenty of Fords and Holdens going downhill before they end up at the wreckers. We owned a 2000 WH Statesman which started life as an Avis rental. Owned from 03 to 2018. The paint is still good. It now lives in northern NSW and is on the road nearly everyday and parked in a garage and it still looks sharp. I guess the paint robot liked this unit.

[@frankcawthorne1479]

Gaday what injectors have you got in the AU. I've gone up to 24 lb in my 5 lt AU and a nice 544 lift cam. Ported and polished heads match ported manifold 1.6" exhaust valves. High volume fuel pump billet fuel rails and adjustable fuel reg. Do you have aftermarket heads ? Beacause you have gone for stage 3, but only revving t0 5500, that's stock revs. I thought I'd only needstage 2 chip but now I'm thinking 3 . Thanks for your video, cheers I'm in Adelaide too.

[@alweb360]

All that silicone will bulge out and compromise gas flow

[@bht1976]

What a beautiful car. It’s either needs new headlights or restoration

[@travismercer7967]

Hey mate au sounds nice

[@scrapmetalgarage]

Too many HPs. Blew the mufflers right out haha man you can't beat a windsor v8 sound! 👌💯

[@julianalderson3938]

Was all worth it bro. Nice

[@slalomhokko]

Why don’t you use the proper gasket joining the upper and lower manifold sections?

[@TheIronEmpire]

There is a proper gasket there, it went on new when I put the engine in. But as I mentioned I didn’t wanna put much pressure on these bolt as the last manifold cracked easily

[@frankcawthorne1479]

Where do you get the hood lining ?

[@da_plagu3doctor140]

Are you gonna bag this like the red one? If so I need to watch so I can bag my au 😂
