09/01/2005:
I've had my break and its time to start updating the site again. There has been a huge amount of info come in over the Christmas Holidays so I will be updating the site almost every day over the following week. Today see's a much needed update to the "for sale" section with a heap of bargains to be had including AU1 remotes for $30 each and an XR leather steering wheel for $100. Snap up the bargains guys...there's still more to come. Later this week, a number of new tech articles, a great article on the Tickford V8 builders and more new member cars than you can imagine. Looks like 2005 is going to be even bigger than 2004 for AUFALCON.COM

An awesome new article called "Hand Built" from AUGZMK about the V8 AU engines and the names of those that made these very special engines. All the dyno day results and video/pics are up on the site. Visit the EVENTS section for details.

That article is a really cool read.
For such a model (AU) that was unpopular with the masses, it certainly has some of the most interesting bits of trivia and history eg the T series, hand built engines, VCT engines, controversial styling etc

dug this thread up from the grave. 7 new members cars have been added over the last 2 day, about the same amount will be added during the week. Tis time for a big catch up and get the site rocking again.
Anyone got any new workshop files or articles they want to get posted? Time for a refresh while we wait to come onto the AFF server.

Just for curiousity sakes too.. since May 4th, 2004 (15 months) the aufalcon.com website has had 27,721 hits. Not too bad I think. So much for it being an unloved car!

hey casper have you thought about revamping the WHOLE site... layout etc.
can i give you a few constructive comments without getting flamed?? if not dont read below! ================================================== ==== 1: dont have a splash page, just load onto the home page right away. 2: have a cleaner home page, i am talking everything to be neat and in certain sections, like all that text looks gross in the yellow on the blue. 3: maybe change the navigation style. i will try and show you what i mean and send you a JPG... maybe someone can help with the site and give it some freshness! thats all mate Rob ![]() |

good 2 see constructive critisizm being used how it should be!!
and great work on a site and club that is growing so well!! i remember wen www.fordlaser.com was only 300 members.. now its got 1400 members..+ may i ask.. what is the difference between a premier and a donating member? obviously a standard member is just sombody who has joined and posted there pics and info and donating has donated but yeah.. im unsure what premier means will be good 2 see how the new site turns out. id like to see the workshop and articles section sorta joined .. and possibly more catagorization of articles.. like anything thats cleaning made into a cleaning section.. etc etc also would it be possible to put up links or contact info for workshops that specialize or know alot about the AU and group them into different states .. so u know exactly where that turbo kit ur ordering is comming from LOL.. good work either way guys!! |

All good suggestions, I'll see if I can answer them:

1. Founder.. these are the original hardcore group that got the site going through help and financial assistance. Bow to these people for without them... there would be no aufalcon.com 2. Premier Member.. This is reserved for donating members who, through there own actions, contributes to the site in some form that the existing Premier Members and Founders feel justifies a reward of sorts. You can NOT buy Premier Membership. It is an invitation process only. Only 3 people have been made premier members. Bucknaked, Useless and Jonbays. Its done by nomination and vote of the existing founders and premier members. 3. Donating member.. Anyone who wishes to become a donating member of aufalcon.com is free to do so at there own will. The is no "minimum" donation and is entirely up to the person involved. I personally didnt want to set this up as the money is not the purpose of the site however a number of members wanted to contribute in their own way and this seemed to satisfy thier requirement. I will say that there are others who have helped out that are behind the scenes. People like Kooky, Dauphin and Red_EL_XR8 have all had a hand in the site and need recognition too. Quote:
