Same. I just discovered this channel, and saw episode 1. I got excited thinking I was going to watch an interesting budget barra build. This episode really disappointed me. They've ruined a rebuild able XR6 for cheap laughs.
Lol. These comments are hilarious. Wasn't my mate for starters, i just jumped in a car to do a live stream and was told by Powercruise owner to "talk trash and make races happen". I did my job well. How it got twisted is bizarre. Why would i care about losing a race in a car i wasn't driven and don't own. Just odd, but if it makes you feel better, sure.
@@djctoafn nah man, starting to shoot up already, youd be lucky to pick that thing up for 7k nowadays, and ive started seeing good condition xr6t bf zf6's going for like 25k
let them keep destroying them. just makes ours worth more. I'm in NZ and the prices are up and down like yoyos but one day they'll be gold. so let em destroy them so the prices go up.
Seriously dont know how I feel about this boys I'm happy and sad at the same time but honestly cant wait to see what the out come is with this build hell yeah brother
I was really going to enjoy this series where you take a normal car and just mod it using everyday parts keeping full trim etc as you would do as a daily - something an everyday car enthusiast might do, really hope its not going to be another copycat 'kart' builds :( first few minutes I thought it might be turning into a UTE conversion or something.
Me too mate. I thought the premise of the series was to show was the average person can do with their mates to make their car better. Not sure if cutting it up to make it close to unusable hits that mark
Sounds like an incredibly boring and overdone series tbh. Valve springs and bolt ons + tune for bulk power and sound, new seats maybe, big brake kit, new wheels + roll the arches a bit; coilovers and maybe busy stiffening. now you're done and it's still looks and handles like a falcon, still weighs as much as a falcon. You could drag that out to 4 videos or more but does it really sound interesting?
I'm sure everyone expected engine mods, suspension tuning, exterior work, etc. But that's nothing new, and it's not like people don't know how to improve a car. This is unexpected, and something fresh. Looking forward to the next part. 76 dislikes, they completely miss the point.
@@MotiveVideo I love this channel & was shocked at this video TBH. I just hope that you install some sort of drag shell to improve the aerodynamics... I know it's a bit of fun & should be much faster due to the lack of weight but please don't turn this channel into like so many others just dicking about. Motive Video is SO much better than that!! 😕
I was a little upset and surprised when the saw came out and he started cutting. But I'm liking the result. As they've said, they only paid 3k for it, and i can see more than 3k worth of fun in what's left.
Man. Ive just discovered this channel, and watched episode 1 of the XR6 build. Not what I was expecting. Did you really have to destroy it? I know you keep saying it was a shit box, but it looked straight enough, and that could have been a kids resto project down the line when they're worth something. Not really a fan of the direction you guys took.
Amusing, but even as a Holden man I think its a waste. Even if it was cheap, it looks like you've taken a nice enough example of an XR6t and destroyed it.
We've probably said this 3000 times. It was a $3250 260,000km old BA MKii with worst conrods and gearbox options and in terrible condition. SO bad that a wrecker wouldn't take the interior and exterior bits for free. Far out.
@@MotiveVideo Mythbusters proved that if you polish a turd for long enough it will eventually shine. With enough time & money most car's can be restored 100+%. Your approach to the XR6T is a bit different but should still be a lot of fun👍🇭🇲.ruclips.net/video/9yQSPLhUVVk/видео.html
maybe 60 years considering for every 150 households in australia, one has an XR6 Turbo, let alone the staggering amounts of the exact same body parts (doors, interior, windows, some lights etc) that's shared with the extreme amount of every other model which are available in excess. There's enough ford falcons from BA onwards for 1 in every 10 houses to have one. It's not a GTR lol.
Wow that one got some split reviews lol. Had to read every comment on this one... is only at stage one, just need to see where this build goes! I'm excited
It's all about weight distribution, looking for no prep racing in Australia.... Good for sight. The no prep airfield brings a new element to "Street racing" in australia, not true street but like no prep..
@@drkntetas Lmao no nissan owners are being hurt by calling them the OG datsun name. Datsuns are going up substantially in value. The new falcons aren't something special like the GTHO Phase 3, it's just a family box that handles like a sack of shit and fits 5 thicc people inside. They slap a bigboi motor in so it can move and call it a day, nobody's expecting anything of the falcons - it's not a real sportscar lol. Gone are the coupe falcon days.
@@SnowGolem1TheL33t hate to break it to you but Falcon coupes handled like shit, they had shit brakes, primitive leaf springs rear suspension and weren't even fast. The BA would shit all over them in every way besides looks and sound. They were not sports cars.
Loving the build hey i see ya throwing out the instument tacho assembley and gauges can i put me hand up to buy them so long as yas will post them at my cost ?👍👍
I was hoping to see a proper "how andrew with a super quick GTR would build a falcon" kind of thing ........ but this is WAY better lol Hope to see this setup as a "leroy" in the future
All I could think was an Aussie Leroy hahaha. That's mad, kinda wished you didn't unnecessarily break bits like the front bar as they could have been sold off to fund more go faster bits. But still, can't wait to see it in action!!!
7:58 That's what I tell people about my FG as well! Like who the f*ck at Ford sat in the driver's seat and thought yep, thats perfect 🥴 Feels like either the seat it too high or the steering wheel is too low like it's in your lap. My old R31 had a better seating position.
After owning a Mk2 Falcon I bought new.... Then selling it 3 months later I can totally understand your thought process. The engine is good but everything else is just rubbish.
0:30 WHHAAAT TTHHHHE FFFF!!!!!! 0:40 oh dear god you better be building a ausie barra version of LEROY! nearly there, you should dfntly continue this 'project' after summer slam!
I don't even like Ford's and this upset me lol.
Same here
I was actually excited for this series before this video, i know its all for a laugh and all but this is absolute beyond disappointing...
Try and look beyond the one episode you formed your opinion off
I felt the same way at the beginning. Now I dont know what to think. Is it going to be the Australian version of Leroy?
Same. I just discovered this channel, and saw episode 1. I got excited thinking I was going to watch an interesting budget barra build. This episode really disappointed me. They've ruined a rebuild able XR6 for cheap laughs.
The was the most aggressive first 2 minutes of any motive video ever.
Fuck wasnt it!!!!
Haha well they have my attention lol
Couldn't you have just bought a XR6T like this from a wrecker?
Andrew is obviously still salty about that time he ate his words when his mates Audi got flogged by literally every single Falcon at Powercruise.

100% salty his mate probably feels worse then him he talking the car up and got mauled 🤐
Hahaha still salty
Not even 1 MINUTE IN to the video... and I’m already crying
How to piss off a whole pile of Falcon lovers in the first 45 seconds 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty much, id have been happy driving that around 🤣😢
As a Barra owner I loved it. yeah the weight reduction 😂😂😂😂
Just about to watch it, read this comment, got excited lol

Thanks 👍
I was outraged by this, but an Aussie Barra Leroy is making me excited
okay so last week i was joking when i said cut the falcon off of the barra...
