Yeh, not bad. If you're going to drift, thats the way to do it. Closed roads with services available, congrats to the organisers for giving these "guys" a place to enjoy themself and hone a skill 👏👏👏👏👏
AU was ahead of its time, its double wishbone suspension front and back made it perfect for track and drifting. A very well balanced car given its size
"That's $35.65 and an extra $20 for spilling your drink" "Yeah no worries, can you do card?" "Yeah mate" *beep beep beep* ..... "Sorry about spilling the bush chook back there, but that was the sickest taxi ride I've ever had" "Yeah cheers. You have a good night ay mate" *drifts off into the distance*
Shane Von Harten Not that I want to say nice things about the Oz government but blame the manufacture matey. They took the bailout money back to Detroit and closed up anyway. No more Fords or Holdens for this little piccaninni. I’d rather buy a Greatwall than give them a other cent.
Toady Home. Two way street for sure. Companies could have fought harder to stay. Government could have done better. As far as leaving with the money, what fuckwit wrote the contract. "To be paid back in full or forfeit the license to sell any product in Australia" not hard to work out. Government should have atleast seized all assetts. So i still put most of the blame on the government.
Shane Von Harten I hear ya. Still not gonna buy a Ford or Holden again. Just bought a brand new Mazda and I’m happy. Focus or an Astra wouldn’t cut it anyway.
They handled very well too. No body roll. These things are boats in factory trim. They've deff spent some cash in that department. Wonder if they've fitted a proper set of coilovers or just some lower springs and stiffer shocks
2yrs late, but one had a sticker for ohbarrys mechanical on the side. That's AUHouse... They sell steering lock kits and sell coil overs for AU falcons. Really good shop
Pretty decent driving. They were pushing them pretty hard at some points. Very good vid. Really enjoyed it. Boy, you wouldn't want to over cook it into some of those corners or have a tyre delaminate in one of the faster corners. There's no run off room in some spots
That shit's sick! Busting out the AU love! I was going to say something about being surprised there weren't more VN style, loop out write offs, but I think the editing went a long way to covering them up..! Haha
AU Falcons had the 302 Windsor- it's a bloody good engine with very good aftermarket support. I'd prefer to build an AU's Windsor that the BA's Modular motor V8. A windsor with a little bit of bolt-on's would be really good for the application. Would sound so much better than an AU's SOHC motor or a Barra. If you had a bit more cash, a 347 or 363 stroker kit with good comp, a set of cheap TrickFlow heads from Summit Racing and a good inlet manifold, good cam/valve springs and a set of headers would easily make 500hp and lots of torque to keep those tyres spinning! 😌
I cried when I watched this. This is why I will never buy Ford Holden products after they stopped making vehicles here. I loved my Australian Commodore. The Commodore and the Ford falcon where just getting better and better Australian made. This vid just shows how tough they were.
Anyone know what these guys are doing for suspension? Real racing coilovers etc or some backyard dodge job? They sit amazingly flat through the turns which makes me think they’re just sitting on bump stops but then you can still see the wheels absorbing some bumps at least. Wouldn’t be easy getting zero roll out of one of these with functioning suspension
Yeah, I agree. I'd love to know more about them too. They're doing very well with what limited power they have too. Like to see them on a slightly quicker track with some 3rd gear corners- I wonder if they would have the power to hold a long 3rd gear drift...
The AU base model was known for having ferrari like handling and zero body roll, true fact at the AUs top speed of 340kmh (only limited by gearing) you can throw it sideways and control it with one hand. #falconyeah
Daniel Brealey Maybe... I guess there’s probably enough flex in the chassis to not even need suspension haha, maybe just some nice big rubber cones and use the tyre pressures and wall size to adjust the handling 😂 Would help keep the weight down too haha

Just pure sound footage... God thanks for not putting shitty dubstep or some rock song. Literally Thank you. Headphones now!
No problems, I always try and get as much pure sound stuff up as possible.
hey im watching it tooo music ~~~hahaha
its ok I can still hear tha screaming :)
Nope there is a song in this video, it is called *Ode to Drift* 5 Stars

Nerd
I agree
best car to do it in, if you wreck it you can probably get another one for $100
turb06 My daughters shut down and they wanted 250$ to reset the computer. We gave it away.
$100 would get you a mint au, the one's in this video would only cost a pack of chewies
I paid $50 for mine, 99 au forte, gutted the hell outa it and thrashed it out bush when hard as lol
Mad Max Nah, 6 pak of VB.
Lmao u could get one for a case of beer that’s how I literally got mine

you want the solid rear for drift, irs is too sticky for n/a intech power levels

Good times this is how I drive my falcon to work every day
@@stumpszylvester415 mate why you getting so agro it's just a comment and he would obviously be joking.

Lol your a fuck head to inbred dog
@OG Zizz dumb inbred
Best drifting ever! Gumtree special
The chassis Ford engineered for au ba fg has served them very well.
Top job editing a absolute pleasure to watch and hear
How's the serenity.
How's the severity !
Bonza!
Ford and Drift has never crossed my mind until I saw this video and god damn do those chassis hold up
However they hold up good
Great use of the most underappreciated Falcon ever made in Australia. And they're dirt cheap!
Under appreciated 😂because they were hideous pile of junk voted by a panel of motoring journalists as the ugliest Australian designed car ever built.
@@captainkaos754 and yet, here they are 👌🏻
AU stands for absolutely ugly .
Hideous yes! Try this with your dunnydore!
@@petertaylor3424 the au fairlanes wernt ugly thk u very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much for the raw footage
This is gold! All they need is some P plates on the back and a 12" autobarn sub just to add those extra special touches 😂
Best part about the falcons is no drift tax unlike those other over hyped shit heaps
This comment didn't age well
Haha drift tax is making me rich as
@@Conorsev nah not at all aye hahaha
Oh yeah baby absolutely gorgeous Oz action ...go go Barra!!!!
Not actually barrad these a generation before the dohc barra engine. 😃
yesss
cant get enough of the au's
This Video Deserve More Views!!!
Would be funny if two 70 year old grey haired blokes wearing Sunday driver hats and walking canes jumped out of them at the end
Piss off bro. I’m 54 and own a cefiro and a r32. Not funny at all. Just normal to me.
Nah bro only in Japan can you find the completely blind 70 year old that drifts like tsuchua
most beautiful thing iv ever seen! how do I vote for this in the coming election?
Vote 1: Keep Our Country BeAUtiful Party
@@PSMotorsport kids should have to stand for this in school assemblys
Lol didn't think an AU could do anything "incredible",.... but now I do!!
These 2 are legends
Ahh yeah, back when Australia had a car industry. Thanks for fucking that up Aus government.
The Australian government has passionate fingers every thing they touch they fuck

Toady Home. happy with my toyota. never again for ford or holden on principal let alone quality.👍
Would love to know the set up in the steering and about any mods so I can set my 2 au falcons up
Yeah

just made my day
Seeing a Fairlane refront scrambled my head.
Gotta love your edits no matter what car cars are 👌👌 keep up the good edits bro
that red au was in almost mint shape last time i saw it !! its serving its purpose well i see
was good to watch, also no bullshit digital voice over or ridiculous music, cheers
Nothing like seeing an au drifting nice give me more haha
It's a change from just seeing them at the tip
Can't wait to get one, such a versatile platform 🖕
Sohc is where it’s at. AU all the way. Top video.
Yes! Raw footage! Awesome AUs
the Gumtree classic reminds me of the Logan grand prix
Woodridge Wreckfest 2019👍😉🇦🇺
there is some amount of satisfaction of seeing cars designed for casual family use be turned into some absolute asphalt fiends
Like the HQ racing in the days keep it up
go the Au s ,well done boys :)
Pretty decent driving. They were pushing them pretty hard at some points. Very good vid. Really enjoyed it. Boy, you wouldn't want to over cook it into some of those corners or have a tyre delaminate in one of the faster corners. There's no run off room in some spots
WOW i like that closed road way better than drifting on a racetrack
Intech the world 👌
AU you make me chuck fat skids
That shit's sick! Busting out the AU love!
I was going to say something about being surprised there weren't more VN style, loop out write offs, but I think the editing went a long way to covering them up..! Haha
Where is this? That downhill section looks mad as fuck!
Hit the like button if you enjoyed the video and subscribe if you'd like to see more, thanks for watching!
I had an au, pretty good cars easy to do skids in
And here's me thinking that the most incredible thing an AU could do was to have someone look at it and not want to vomit :). Good upload!
just bought a BA falcon, gonna weld the diff and send it so keen
I like the road they're drifting on.
Two Australian's doing Australian things
I just bought an AU. Happy days
what a awesome video
Never been a fan of Ford/Commodores, but a drive in an AU Falcon changed my perspective, i'd have to say a decent chassis, only let down by its design
imagine drifting a skyline only to see an au falcon ripping harder right up on your door ahahahahah
Bring on part 2
This is living barry
Mexican Cartel ? 😂
the plates would be blurred if it was a mexican driver
N/A aswell wow
The power of the au
They're doing surprising well...
NA is best
Yeahhhh i miss my old au.....rust holes and all it was the funnest car i owned....gotta find me another one me thinks
2:52 ahhhhhh my man!!! ~~~~~~~~ :) F yeaaaah
I drove like that the last time i was at mount gambier too but i was looking for a toilet cause I was about to crap my dacks
These things manual? Lock kit?
I wanna build one
Please hire this guy's and their cars for a F&F movie
Aussie V8 Drift Missles - FUCK YES!!!!!!!
Drift Missiles, Aussie Style.
Swear I recognise that silver falcon from the AU house channel..
Hey you ...?.....Hay use....No
AU ssss rule....😂... Gone but not forgotten.
What is that banged up red car or the silver one which seems to be with this red one on many clips here?
Ford AU Falcons
Would a v8 au be any good for this, or would the 8cyl be too front heavy?... Maybe a barra swap would be the way to go?

@@danielbrealey2924 Cheers! Thanks for all the info.
Cops reckon they made good cop cars because they stood up to bushbashing. who would of thunk it they'd make good drifters as well.
So when is Neighbor gonna shred this? Somebody call Cleetus!
the nu fairlane front bar and lights are hard to find now in good nick
Didn't know you could do that shit on an au falcon!!!,makes me look at mine differently...
Fuck they go good, stock motors? Also top notch camerawork 👌🏼
THE MIGHTY AU
Fucking love it the MIGHTY au filthy FALCONZ
MANGMANGMANGMANGMAAAAAAAAAAAANG
Those Falcons sounded beautiful, were those Barra engines?
Standard AU motor by the sounds of it
Intech motors
Do you know if these are stock?
Yeah bog stock, has the original Gram lites that came on the Forte
Mint ! Don't know why you'd use anything else 👌👌👌
I know right
I don't know why, But I like the falcon with the fairlane front on it
This is how it starts...
Waaachhh waaachhh(turbo sounds)...then baabaa baabaa baaaaaa (6cyl au falcon sounds) JAPODRIFTWHAT???😂
What are the wheels on the red one. Does anybody know
The Red is absolute majestic! I’d love to know the name of the colour even tho I’m certain it’s regency red.
mighty au
Do U know wat running gear it is?
gotta love it get some old ea falcons out there that would funny.
I’m in the USA what are the ford cars there sick
The greatest, most versatile Australian car ever made...... The AU Falcon!
I cried when I watched this. This is why I will never buy Ford Holden products after they stopped making vehicles here. I loved my Australian Commodore. The Commodore and the Ford falcon where just getting better and better Australian made. This vid just shows how tough they were.
Does anyone know where that was at?
