E-series trivia quiz!

by **spope** » January 31st, 2008, 1:03 pm

Ok, I am really bored at work.
We did this ages ago on the *other* forum, and it worked pretty well.
Very simple, this is just a quiz about e-series trivia. Preferably only related to Ford factory things, not aftermarket modified stuff. First person to get the right answer asks the next question. Easy, huh?

Ok, first question:-

What was the largest diameter wheel fitted to an E-series from factory?

by **Gozza** » January 31st, 2008, 1:05 pm

Im going to say 17"

by **spope** » January 31st, 2008, 1:08 pm

Yup. EB GT, EL GT, NL FBT. Told you it was easy. Ok, Goz-Iller gets to ask the next question.

LOL, I refreshed the page 3 times waiting for spope to say Goz was right :lol:

NEXT QUESTION!!!

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 1:11 pm

I don't think my F5 key will make it through the day :lol:

by **Gozza** » January 31st, 2008, 1:11 pm

i don't know shit from shoe polish - someone else ask lol

by **Steady** » January 31st, 2008, 1:13 pm

OK

What stuffup did Ford make in the brochure for the ED XR8 Sprint, regarding the engine?

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 1:13 pm

I'll have a crack then

Name 20 non-factory E-Series "special edition" models (for example, EA SVO)

EDIT - this includes famous one-offs such as the EAGT or concept E-Series at motor shows. I wouldn't include "famous one-offs" such as say, Rollin's ED for example.

Come to think of it I can only list 18 so far

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 1:13 pm

Cleveland

*edit* Since I got in first I guess my above post is the next question :lol:

by **Steady** » January 31st, 2008, 1:14 pm

'doh' I knew i'd be too slow.

Sunny you listed EB SS twice.

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 2:22 pm

Farkenell... I'm distracted by some actual work for 10 mins & there's a brazillian replies!

I guess Kristy is technically first for listing 20 separate models

by **get_an_ea_today** » January 31st, 2008, 2:23 pm

next question?

by **spope** » January 31st, 2008, 2:25 pm

Wow. No, I actually meant XD-XF, but your idea is much better. I wonder if anyone else in the E-series owners club had thought of that? EA-EL. Good plan.

BTW, I don't really want to argue semantics, but the EB SS was a factory special edition - not aftermarket. But meh. Next question!

i cheated, someone gave me all the answers

but ill still take the credit

I guess we could replace EB SS with XH Sandfire then? (assuming XG-XHs are included in this thread)

Or XH SVO. Not really bothered, it was your question, your rules!

Oh yeah, XG-XH definately count as e-series for the the purposes of this thread.

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 2:37 pm

New rule: Kristy has 5 minutes to post a question otherwise it's open to anyone

by **Bipolar** » January 31st, 2008, 2:38 pm

Deal.

Questions?? If no-one's gonna put one up...

What are 3 differences between the DF and DL besides wheels, grill and badges?

by **fordbaby** » January 31st, 2008, 2:39 pm

^^^^^ thats the exact question i was going to ask :lol:

Color coded seatbelts (and all dash buttons, stereo etc), different ashtray, 1" of wheel.

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 2:42 pm

fark! I was going to guess Sportsman, Concorde, & FBT available in the NL series but not NF... but you're saying DF/DL so I guess I'm out

by **fordbaby** » January 31st, 2008, 2:44 pm

i think sunny is too smart for this

by **Commando** » January 31st, 2008, 2:46 pm

off-topic... I notice 93edxr6 is banned yet is still viewing the thread?

by **Sunboost** » January 31st, 2008, 2:47 pm

He said besides wheels. Whoops.

Ummmmm let me think about it.

by **spope** » January 31st, 2008, 2:53 pm

Ok, sticking with that - colour coded seatbelts, different ashtray, colour coded buttons.
Slightly different instrument cluster design?
DL had speed sensitive steering?
Carpeted kick panels?
Sunvisors had lights in DL?

Then there are all the normal EF/EL 6 cylinder differences. Distributor instead of coil packs, no crank angle sensor, no trans dipstick, but I guess you are looking for LTD specifics

EF also had carpeted kick panels. The instrument clusters were the same from NF/DF to NL/DL IIRC. They only changed in the SWB and wagon models.

Bingo.

by **Sunboost** » January 31st, 2008, 3:07 pm

Dirty mofo. No idea.

by **get_an_ea_today** » January 31st, 2008, 3:10 pm

Slightly different grille
New colour schemes
Buttons and switches were colour-coordinated instead of being black
The front seat backs and the front and rear head restraints were reshaped
New speed-sensitive power steering
Bosch 5.3 anti-lock braking
The windscreen and windows were protected by Smart Tint, offering the same protection as SPF15 sunscreen.

Do i win?
