Scotty's EB Wagon- Lots of pics

[sikwags_218]

Hey all I think its about to introduce myself. My names Scott and im a 3rd year apprentice from Horsham in Vic. I have been looking on the website for a few months now and loving the fact that its full of like minded car nuts lol. So thought I would share some pics and some details of my car. So basically i brought the c ar about 3 years ago for my first car. I got it for $800. The EB was auto and had a 3.9L certerpoint, but only had 154,00km. There were a few problems as the motor hadn't seen regular servicing and the mains were rooted. But after many hours work I have fixed it and I now use it every day as it is my daily diver. I am pretty happy how I have the car at the moment so will be buying another car (thinking a EF XR6) and adding a turbo. As after looking around on the site im pretty keen on this idea lol So without any further crapping on here is my car.......

1991 Stark White EB (Series 1) Ford Falcon station wagon.

Engine mods:- 3.9L block, Ported 3.9L head (Shaved 40th, 3 angle valve grind, match ported, swirl pot on chamber deleted, etc), Crow billet cam, Crow heavy duty valve springs, ACL race series bearings, Rollmaster timing chain set ( guides, tensioner etc), New seals and gakets all round, BBM coversion, SS inductions cold air intake, 3in air induction pipe, hi-tech headers, 2 1/2in mandrel bent exhaust with one sports muffler, EF thermo fans, 300KPA fuel regulator, J3 chip (EL XR6 program) and wideband oxygen sensor.

Driveline:- T5 manual conversion, XR6 clutch, 3.27 diff gears, full spool, king spring ultra lows (front), 3in lowering blocks (rear), KONI shocks all round, K-Mac caster camber kit, Superpro bushes all round, 16in Ford FTR wheels.

Interior:- S-pack instrument cluster, new dash (without cracks), new trim pieces to replace ones that were broken. Basically I have just tries to restore it to stock lol.

Exterior:- Body coloured bumpers, deleted door mouldings, deleted side repeter (EA spec), rust removal RHS dogleg.

Sterio: Kenwood head unit, Kenwood 6in front spekers, Fusion 6in rear speakers, Clarion 12in sub, Clarion pro 2 channel amp.

So that basically an overview of my wagon LOL. I have a few more things i would like to fo to it such as 3.45 diff gears, reset leaf springs, a propper tune on the J3, a better 4.0lt head (which will be ported better that my current ) and a bit more of a tidy up. Thanks for looking. Cheers

Now for Pics

Looking very clean Nice waggon man.

[sikwags_218]

Thanks man she not to bad lol

[turbo_nut]

man thats epicly straight look like a good start 2 a good car

[sikwags_218]

To be honest its got a few little dents here and there (shopping trolly/ carpark) but overall its not bad man, the worst is the rear right hand quater. At the local burnout comp and blew the RHS tire first and it had taken a bit of paint off the quater lol But will get it sprayed ASAP, just waiting on some more funds. Apprentice wages aren't the best. But thanks for your comment

[TechXR]

Nice and clean wagon.

What's that thing I see that says "LEAN"? haha

[sikwags_218]

I have a 2J2 controller and a wideband oygen sensor so I can tune and trim the fuel maps on my car. The display that reads lean is just telling me what the oxgen sensor is saying. This is so I can see how it runs. As the car is turned off it was reading lean lol. You get the product off the T.i performance website, got it with the J3. And thatnks man its not to bad for a daily

[pHaT`eL]

Farkk thats clean as. Wish mine was like that, lol!

[sikwags_218]

Cheers pHaT' eL. She not to bad LOL So anyway decided to go to the murry for new years eve and fark it was hot.........So while driving up there with the car fully loaded I ripped the exhaust off through some big bumps ha ha ha. So to say that the rest of the trip was very loud would be an understatement. Ill post some pics up when I get it on the hoist. Also I got my hands on a 3.45 gearset a couple of days ago. So I will save up and get some bearings for a rebuild, of the diff

[sikwags_218]

So as I said my exhaust was ripped off a few days ago thought I would post up some pics of the mess it made LOL Get my n ew exhaust tommorrow, so I will fit it up after work as I'm sick of my car soun ding like a 40ton Mack truck. I also think that it doesn't feel as torquie as before, like it has actually lost power, so keen to my my zorst back on.....



The fucked one off the car



This is what it is temporarly using so I can drive it, made it up in half an hour in the pipe bender at work lol

[sikwags_218]

Hey has anyone expirianced axle trap in the wagons once they are lowered??? How can I fix this, as it is really annoying as under hard acceleration it hops it arse off?? I was thinking reset/ stiffer leaves. Whats peoples thoughts

[pHaT`eL]

Mines probably as stiff/low as the come and it doesnt tramp at all

[JUZXR8]

Yeah reset leaf springs will help, if you really want to fix it though maybe try getting some tramp bars made up?

Also might have something to do with the tailshaft? Could be wrong there, but i seem to remember reading something like that.

[ausedwagon]

im getting it in mine. ive got king spring 5 leaf lowered raer springs with block ontop and poliair bags too and with good tires i get tramp. stockies i dont with 17's tho i get it reallly bad. im gona start getting under there to look at bushes when its not wet.

[sikwags_218]

Went to the local repco store and got a price on some new King spring reset leaves. Super lows will cost me $350 so looking at getting them soon, when the funds allow. These should lower the car by bout 50mm, but my question is what size blocks should I add to it, as I have 3in block at the moment which is rougly 76mm. So should I buy 1.5in blocks??? Just trying to reduce the axle tramp, so does this sound like a decent combo or not???

[ausedwagon]

there king superlows with 2" blocks. in the back and poliair airbags to stop axel tramp.

[pHaT`eL]

Mines about the same as that with reset leafs and 2" blocks.

Pedders will reset your leafs for $250 if you want a cheaper alternative.

[sikwags_218]

Thanks guys, your feedback has been most helpful. I think I will go this combo when the funds allow lol Anyway updates lol, been thinking bout other cheap stuff to do so Last thursday took the throttle body off my car and gave it a hit with the die grinder lol gave it a port job. Also started looking at my other head and cleaned it up, stripped it and ported one port lol So now to continue to work on it a finis it off. Anyway cheers guy for the help. Now for the pictures:












Dirty head which is about to cop a major port job lol

[sikwags_218]

Hey all thought I would update on the car.... Brought some wheels for is off jamie888, they are Lenso 18in ones so that should be pretty sweet. Also got some superlow reset king springs and 2in blocks so should be a bit lower in the arse ends. Pretty pumped can't wait to get the wheels of Jamie, should look pretty trick

[sikwags_218]

so as the wagon is my daily been keeping a eye out for a suitable project falcon in which I can turbo...... So the other day picked up a very clean/ straight ed with 175000km for $1200. So will get some pics and make a post up in the build section Finally BOOST

[jamie8888]

I Sell ya all my gear for 10g scotty lol unless you hurry up and find me a cheap arse fairlane....

[huggiebear]

this wagon reminds me of my old white EA s-pac on FTR's lol

you should boost the wagon. i think i only remember one other one and it too looked just like yours but sideways into a tree at 100kph killed it

[sikwags_218]
