Hi all,

I joined up to have a look at a few falcons I know of, drifting is a passion of mine and it pleases me to see you E series guys ripping it up.

There looks to be a lot of awesome cars and information here and I look forward to finding time to have a good read and contribute to the site.

My rides a xd with no boost, so bogan if you will, lol

All the best :D

Thanks for your kind words,

Engine is a 408 cleveland, scat crank, eagle 6.125inch rods, crow roller cam, 4V tounged heads, TFC inlet, Crane Hi6 multi spark ignition, TKO 600 close ratio gearbox .85 overdrive. Strange alloy diff centre, chrome molly full spool with 4.33 motive gears, driveline services custom 9inch housing with chrome molly axles. RRS power rack and pinnion, RRS phase 4 brakes front and rear, RRS front strut conversion including lower control arms notched towers and radius rod bearings, RRS 3 link rear end, Tilton carbon button tripple plate clutch. Rod Andrews cams approved roll cage, lexen side and rear glass

Its a purpose built drifter and we have tried to keep as much weight out of it as possible hence no dash and no head lights.

We have yet to fit the clutch, wiring loom and rear end expecting to be complete by october.

Cheers :grin:

I have seen this in a few mags. Cool reason why you chose that colour!

There will be a few boosted 6 owners on here who deep down (they will never admit it) that would love to do dirty things to this car :shock:

Keep us updated.

Thanks, I make no secret of the fact we have built this for Drift Australia, getting there will be another thing I guess, but we have big plans for it. We have received enormous support so far and at this stage we cant see any reason why we cant compete at the highest level. I understand it will be a steep learning curve but being part of thye action is our initial goal.
Love QLD Racway and looking forward to other tracks

Ah good to see you put up a thread on the beast. As I've already told you, I was a fan of XDrift and can't wait to see XDrift2 in action.

Let us know when you're in Brissy next and we'll definitely catch up.

Thanks for your support guys, I know a few of you from other forums and its great to see you here. Thanks for the referal to this site Tim its awesome, good to here from you too s_pack.

Soon we will have it going and get some track time in, one of the best parts about the NT is the fact you can hire Hidden Vally very cheaply. I hope once its sorted and we start competing we wont let you all down. Thanks again for your kind words, we are counting on the interest we can garner from the ford community to help put some sponsors on the car, you are the guys that really count to us, thanks a lot. :thumbsup:
