I loved when you sand bagged everyone I wasn’t sure if it was car dramas but watching everyone dive around you was great! Locking up into the barriers was pretty funny too. Ohh and smart move getting on the inside at the start! Thanks for coming down brother 😊 - Breny
Oh man I had a blast! Thanks for having me down! I hit the brakes pretty hard thinking there would be a bit of a pile up and it worked!Mike must’ve been inches from my bumper.
I'll be honest when I first saw it I was wondering why there was a random skyline until I looked closer, as if the front bar fits that well too, looks like it was meant to be, what a beast hahaha
@ Well done Woody. You were the first person to come second last after the person who was first to come last. You rock. I bloody loved watching this by the way. Looked like heaps of fun.
Yeah man! That’s my first time at Calder park, pretty Aweosme track with a massive history! The last I saw of it was a photo of the over grown grandstand, it seems like someone’s been in there to clean up!
You should give the engine to the Hackshop boys. I think they were chasing an au engine a little while ago and they're down that end of the country too
I really like the ad-hoc black striping you did to the AU. Makes it stand out in the crowd. No other AU looks like it. Should always carry a spare sepent belt !!! You should have realised it while you were driving......alt light on and no power steering could only be one thing ????
Yeah you can hear me on the second lap with no power steering! Then once it was hot and had coolant spewing out the overflow it was a bit slippery entering the chicane hence why I slid into the barrier!
@@theskidfactory Great way to spice up the race throwing coolant everywhere. AU's are fords lightest falcon with the strongest parts. If you have a problem blowing up a BA gearbox you put an AU box or guts in it. They could do Sydney to Melb on a tank of fuel. Mine has 939,000 on it so far.
The AU has coolant loss protection it would have been shutting down cylinders to protect the engine. Series 1 brakes are single pot calipers on the front, it is possible to replace them with series 2/3 or BA twin pot calipers but requires swapping out a bunch of front end suspension components.
Couldn’t be more proud from 🇯🇵 just another day at the track 😂 or in my case on a night run in the mountains, shit happens but memories are created around every corner……
That would of been so much fun. All most as fun as doing the demolition derby....I don't know they still do them being all the safety crap these days but nothing like a bunch of bombs on a track it's not a race it's last car standing smashing into each other the only rule not to t bone drivers door remove anything that can fly off such as bumpers all glass out and doors welded shut.....
Series 1 au has horrific brakes from factory, they’re basically e series brakes and are puny. Series 2-3 are much better and b series btembos will bolt straight on to au series 2-3. Upgrading the s1 brakes to s2-3 or b series is actually a bit of pain in the ass.
@@vlt873 because au's look like shit on a stick, lol its prob your thing tho eh. im a holden man and just sledging mate. lets face it woodys biggest problem was he cant drive for shit :)
as soon as it started the first time i knew it was running on 5cyl really unfortunate it threw a belt. i really like the idea of cheap fun racing haven't watched any organized form of motor sport in years i just see it as boring elitism that only exists to keep advertisers happy
Just throw a belt on it and send it she will be right. And if you need a engine in Melbourne I have a auIII Fairmont shell with a tickford engine computer and auto in it you can have
@@theskidfactory Check the alignment on the belt as well, I lost a couple for the first time last season and found that the tensioner pulley was bent. Never lost an AU belt before that
Man I don't get the whole au thing I really don't know what people see in it besides a skid pig. There's a dude at work that has been fixing up a au and it's just a dog ugly car. I'd prefer an el or ef heck ill take a ea but never the au gee
why is it holden vs ford when holdens are american gm and fords are american just a few engineers designed a few things here there, they all left a while ago so its a free for all now
What’s your thoughts? Was I sabotaged?
You sabotaged yourself! Spending time on paint and stickers instead of the mechanical stuff.
yeah, no doubt.
@@adrianzmajla4844too right mate why waste time and power playing with air cond, also no belt no fan on an engine you're going to rev hard
Ha that's got Sam written all over it! 🤣🤣
Woody man that looked epic fun!
At least you maintained the wipers for the entire race, it's polite to come last. 💦

Water pumps are not needed where you are going.
I noticed when you where on his tail that they actually went to the trouble of Skyline rear lights. That is pure gold.
Yeah man Alex put some effort into it! I can’t believe how well the front bar fitted!
I'll be honest when I first saw it I was wondering why there was a random skyline until I looked closer, as if the front bar fits that well too, looks like it was meant to be, what a beast hahaha
If you're driving an AU you can never lose. You can come last, but you are never a loser
Well done Woody. You came last first.
Hey hey hey! I came second last!
@ Well done Woody. You were the first person to come second last after the person who was first to come last. You rock.
I bloody loved watching this by the way. Looked like heaps of fun.
@@FuManchu5ltrit was a blast man, the one in January is going to be HUGE! I think they aim to have 20 cars on track!
That's the best last place drive I've ever seen. Fair effort handling that untamed beast. 😂
Mint edit mate, was a massive day!
Ooooft is that nfs most wanted inspired m3. Thing looks nuts. Cool vid woodsy
The VP dolled up like a skyline was mint.
The AU will shut down cylinders to avoid the engine getting too hot so it should be ok
Oh mint I never knew that!
Yeah, it even spits spark plug boots out in disgust at the temperature.. 😅
Oh bullshit really?@@AdrianM082
I thought as soon as it was an INTECH it had that feature
Are you sure man, I spear all intechs had it, as that was one of there major points to comment about when the au was released @@AdrianM082
That looked like a lot of fun. You Aussie-guys know how to party. Greets, Risto, the finn.
That was so cool. What a great event
And how good is it to see the Thunderdome looking highly usable!!
Good one Woody
Yeah man! That’s my first time at Calder park, pretty Aweosme track with a massive history! The last I saw of it was a photo of the over grown grandstand, it seems like someone’s been in there to clean up!
Love how you just left the boot rust hanging out. You are a true AUer.
You're an actual menace on track lol.
Waited for your vid mate
13:18 Is that spotto?
A..U…. FALCON!!!!
Check that the harmonic balancer hasn't crapped it self that will throw the belt.
VP and R32 were my first and second cars. Wild to see them merged like that. 😂
That was cool AF Woody! good work fella! Laughed my head off. Limiter ////// Lol
Compared to the 2.4 hours of le Mullets y'all were running like Usain Bolt😂
You should give the engine to the Hackshop boys. I think they were chasing an au engine a little while ago and they're down that end of the country too
have had KAP's in my fords for years, great unit
Very funny video, thanks for sharing!
great effort woody, can't wait to see the next one
Let’s go Trent. Stoked my name suggestion stuck. Hahaha.
The Austin 1800 ute must take the event
Woody out here putting the kettle on for us all 🫖♨️
Actually like the black accents on the AU, not my favourite falcon by far but with that and the stockies it looks pretty tough haha
why are your wipers on during the race lmao
Haha I only noticed that when I was editing!
New blades needed running in
Never knew spotto was doing the race😂😂

Having a go is more important than where you place.

Merry Christmas Woody and Family CHEERS
Couldn’t be more proud from 🇯🇵 just another day at the track 😂 or in my case on a night run in the mountains, shit happens but memories are created around every corner……
Congrats on the effort Woody, hoping this brings a new love for beating on Shit boxes. ❤❤
Haha that looked like wicked fun woody! Looks like the bnb boyz sabotaged ya haha
Trent thinks Kevooo!!! is a Sickooo!!!
Sad outcome but that event has an awesome vibe!!!!!
Another awesome video we'll done woody love the channel
Attended with a mate of mine, was a great event.
You switched the columns for the supporters, and I nearly missed what's for dinner?
Im a simple man, i see a AU FALCON i press like. Do the right thing bois
Spotto and skidfactory gotta happen
Fail safe cooling probably saved the engine by shutting down cylinders. Chuck a new belt on it and she’ll go again.
Why was it hitting the rev limiter i thought it was an auto ?
Gota be in it to win it.. 😂
Sabotage was out of jealousy. You have a back seat and could bring your mates along!
That looked like fun. Not taking it too seriously, but I think from memory that the AU Falcons had issues with handling.
ef did, fixed in el and further improved in au
@@darcykeddell4930 thx for that :)
Commodore with only one working brake light, imagine my shock 😅
I wonder why it threw the belt....Nang nang nang nang...
😂😂 yeah maybe less limiter next time 😂
@theskidfactory still totally worth it! You need to test these things to learn for next time
@@theskidfactory the limiter is free traction control
Love it
f'd on race day 🤣 (dont have any favor of ford or holden but this video was hilarious)
That would of been so much fun. All most as fun as doing the demolition derby....I don't know they still do them being all the safety crap these days but nothing like a bunch of bombs on a track it's not a race it's last car standing smashing into each other the only rule not to t bone drivers door remove anything that can fly off such as bumpers all glass out and doors welded shut.....
As long as you make great memories you will think it is worth it
The mountain bike helmet lol
I love that this is most likely a Mexican Hoon Cartel AU that was seized
Cool story
@FrailRider I mean it wound be if that was the case? Are you saying that it is and is in fact a cool story or do you have a cool story?
The BTR is fitted with 4 gears.
Limiter bashing is not fast.
The aim was to entertain the crowd, smashing limiter down the straight was all part of the show.
Shoulda got a commy... 😂 piss off everyone and put a 3.8 in it
What about a 4.0l single cam swapped commo? Or an ecotec swapped AU? 😂
@@theskidfactory you wouldn't..... you monster.
Falcon wanted to stay true to Takumi's 86 and ditched the power steering
Dont worry Woody, my missus says coming last aint a bad thing.
Series 1 au has horrific brakes from factory, they’re basically e series brakes and are puny. Series 2-3 are much better and b series btembos will bolt straight on to au series 2-3. Upgrading the s1 brakes to s2-3 or b series is actually a bit of pain in the ass.
I'm surprised Mcm didn't turn up in the wrong type of car
you could try to like it a bit. They are pretty decent cars.
who built the Need for Speed most wanted BMW?? thing is mint
Bugger instantly went to kap industries site but no bracket for a XF falcon 😢
Send him a message man! Russell is always keen to expand the range!
Keep the au... next skid car
Good guys come last. Lucky ladies... :)
Mrs woody "thats a first" ....
If you want a keeper you have to come last many times
Spot the Spotto.
Mate if your ever feeling like the world is against you, look back on this and have a laugh, (I did well done BIG SMILES).
Come on Aussies. RUclips. Share more. God bless 🇦🇺. Mick ))
$800 is worth it for the aircon alone, the car’s free otherwise
Hope youtube payed you for the 30 ads they played threw that
need to do some weight reduction before next race. get all the interior out at least. prob shoulda got a commo hahaha
Why would you get a Commo? AUs are pretty capable and well known as a budget drift car.
Heavy shitboxes u didnt watch the vp walk it @vlt873
@@vlt873 because au's look like shit on a stick, lol its prob your thing tho eh. im a holden man and just sledging mate. lets face it woodys biggest problem was he cant drive for shit :)
That's what she said
imagine if mighty carmods were there Marty and Blair would have a blast.
Exoskeleton it and just run through the barriers
as soon as it started the first time i knew it was running on 5cyl really unfortunate it threw a belt.

Should take it to a mechanic 😂
Threw the belt from all that pointless limiter bashing , ya go faster if ya change gears 🤣
1:18 - what a beAUtiful sight! 🥹🥹🥹
Zoe wishes you would come last more often
Off to the wreckers for another cheap donk. 😂😂😂😂
As we say here in vic YOUR USELESS WILSON WHAT DO YOU COME HERE FOR 😅
No way id be paying $800 for that pos
1:11
Good job woody , sabotage meh ...you still put on a show.
Shitbox racing is epic ❤❤❤
Just throw a belt on it and send it she will be right. And if you need a engine in Melbourne I have a auIII Fairmont shell with a tickford engine computer and auto in it you can have
Yeah I think she’ll be sweet with a new belt and some new plugs!
@@theskidfactory Check the alignment on the belt as well, I lost a couple for the first time last season and found that the tensioner pulley was bent. Never lost an AU belt before that
Thrive on neglect for real lol
The thotbots are fast.
I always come last.
Eyy, we use the same terminology. But yeah, youtube does jack all about them.
Keep rockin the shit legend.
Name it the au86
Man I don't get the whole au thing I really don't know what people see in it besides a skid pig. There's a dude at work that has been fixing up a au and it's just a dog ugly car. I'd prefer an el or ef heck ill take a ea but never the au gee
Woody could have won if he had a half decent car
It was anyone’s race but at the end of the day it’s all for entertainment and I think we achieved that!
I guess you're a nice guy, then.
why is it holden vs ford when holdens are american gm and fords are american just a few engineers designed a few things here there, they all left a while ago so its a free for all now
Great story
You should write a book
@WarmGlassOfBatteryAcid ha ha ha ha ha yeah cool story ya goon
In response to the thumbnail..
I came first.
She didnt appreciate it.
