AUII_Forte back in an E-Series!

AUII_Forte · 15-02-2005, 08:27 PM

I thought it was time to part with the faithful old Telstar, so I've been looking round a bit lately for another Falcon. I found one this afternoon!

It's a 95 EF GLi, argon silver (I think thats what it's called), auto, bog stock with hubcaps and all, for $6990. It's only got 142,000k's on it and the best part of all is I'm getting it change-over for the TX5, not a cent is changing hands so I'm pretty stoked.

Any mods planned I hear you all ask............first thing it needs is some wheels and lowering, then when money permits I'll get an exhaust, extractors and a cam. That's probably about all, although I do have a 3.45:1 gearset sitting in the shed that I may throw in if I can find an LSD centre. If the head gasket goes, I have the head for the EA sitting there tempting me as well!

I'll get some pics tomorrow when I pick it up.

Nice work there on the trade in. good to have another e-series driver. good luck on the planned mods

Yep argon silver is the name. That sounds like a great set o-wheels there AU. Any particular rims you've got your eye on?

Kenaz · 15-02-2005, 08:40 PM

Geez, you like changing cars don't you? How many is that since you've been in the club? There was the EA, EB, AU, Telstar, another EA then the EF? lol I look forward to the pics.

AUII_Forte · 15-02-2005, 08:57 PM

Don't know about rims yet, have to see whats about.

Don't worry Kenaz, my GF isn't letting me forget how many I've have and how much money I've wasted on them! I've still got the second EA, it's my main money hole. It's stripped ready for panel work/paint at the moment. I always seem to decide to get another car just after I've paid the bloody rego on them, paid the Telstar's in Dec and now trading it on the EF which is due in April!

On a side note, how hard is it to put cruise into an EF?

MotherNatureVer2 · 15-02-2005, 10:29 PM

You have a set of 12 slotters there Dan :P
heheheehehehhehehe

Nah seriously .... congrats on the new car .......

Now get off your but & get the old girl up and running :P

AUII_Forte · 15-02-2005, 10:42 PM

I'm gettin there Lisa.....very slowly! It's stripped down at the moment and I am about to start pulling the engine out soon.

The tyres on those 12 slotters are kinda shagged now lol. We took them out to a mates house and threw them on the back of his worked XY 351C, theres not much of em left!

MotherNatureVer2 · 15-02-2005, 11:06 PM

LOL Dan ......... They were over 12mnths old when you got them ............ So they did do well .......

EFFalcon · 16-02-2005, 11:29 AM

Cruise into EF that doens't have ABS = pain in the ****.
its do-able (i did it in mine) but it involves adding wiring (splicing etc)

if the car has ABS then its dead easy

congrats on the new car!

AUII_Forte · 16-02-2005, 11:42 AM

Damn, doesn't have ABS. Still want to attempt it though, I didn't have cruise in the AU and it shitted me to death!

EFFalcon · 16-02-2005, 11:51 AM

U need to either buy a cruise loom from Ford (not sure if its available anymore)
a cruise loom from a wrecker
or strip a wiring loom (what i did)

i found it impossible to find info, but worked it out

its not that hard once u work it out :P

Damo · 16-02-2005, 06:13 PM

Sounds like a good swap, your Telstar had high K's right ?

Good luck with the new beast.

LUXO_8 · 16-02-2005, 06:36 PM

all EF looms are still available john, i enquired about a few for my conversions...
congrats on getting back in a falcon....

AUII_Forte · 16-02-2005, 08:48 PM

Picked the big girl up this afternoon, runs like a dream, but it's so SLOW at the moment! On closer inspection, it does have ABS, so cruise hopefully won't be to bad. What do I need to get? I'll probably get it when I'm in the big smoke next week.

LUXO_8 · 16-02-2005, 08:50 PM

i think if it has abs the loom is installed..... needing the unit to operate the throttle body and the buttons for the wheel

i think!

john will be able to say for sure

jeez you change cars like I should change underwear.

EFFalcon · 17-02-2005, 11:38 AM

to install cruise u need
cruise module
cruise buttons
i'm not sure if the brake pressure switch is there or not.

there is a tute on fordmods on putting cruise into a car with ABS, its easy

AUII_Forte · 17-02-2005, 04:00 PM

I'll get some pics today. I removed the pin-striping this morning, what a biatch of a job!! Lucky it was on work time and I was getting paid for it! lol

AUII_Forte · 17-02-2005, 08:25 PM

Here's the pics guys. Complete with complimentary yellowing headlights and Daewoo hubcaps. I know the yellow headlights are a factory option, but i never knew about the Daewoo hubcaps......must've been a dealer fitted thing lol.

**Peuty** · 17-02-2005, 09:00 PM

Nice car, I think....

**Peuty** · 17-02-2005, 09:07 PM

double post

EFFalcon · 17-02-2005, 10:11 PM

not bad ;)
so no ABS? :P

LUXO_8 · 17-02-2005, 10:29 PM

fix the ea up as a driver and turbo that EF...

looks like a damn awesome starting point for modz

AUII_Forte · 18-02-2005, 11:46 PM

I am actually thinking about doing that!!

I've got just about all I need to do it, just need some injectors, wastegate and a fuel pump. I could just pull the head off it and throw the worked one on and get a workshop to plumb everything up. Dansedgli how much did it cost you to get all your gear installed??

I am seriously tempted!

LUXO_8 · 19-02-2005, 09:06 AM

Do It Do It!!!!!!!!!!

but if you do, you have to leave the stockies with the Gaywoo hubbies on!!!!
HAHA

ilsautomotive · 19-02-2005, 10:56 AM

Congrats on the new beast, looks like a top example. Keep us posted.

Sundeep · 19-02-2005, 11:15 AM

Looks very nice, but dump it and ditch those Daewoo hubcaps and she'll look like sex!

Paris Hilton · 19-02-2005, 01:10 PM
