Drove around for about 5 hours tonight in the EB2.
We went everywhere; suburbs, country, freeways and city. Tonight this car literally climbed mountains. Words cannot fully express my enthusiasm for E series Falcons, especially when fitted with a Tickford engine and an lsd. Ford really got it right with the Tickford XR6s!

Good cruising cars, decent highway mileage. Watch out for the usual headgasket issues Bolt on mods free it up a bit more as well. A good drive they are. Sent from my HTC Aria using Tapatalk II.IV.X

I fitted EL thermo fans a couple of years ago to help prevent the headgasket issue, I also maintain my cooling system like some kind of radiator-nazi. Exhaust is pacemaker 4480s into "standard" xr6 cat then a 2.5" pipe into single dynomax muffler, it sounds pretty decent. I have a full set of rda slotted brakes and performance pads sitting around waiting to be fitted as well. Next mod is a t5 manual conversion, then I might lower it some more. Sorry about the rant, as I said I'm an enthusiast.

Might as well post that I have now sourced a t5 conversion, I should be able to pick it up within the next week or so.
