took the EF to Winton on 21st of march. went fairly well for a N/A rig, needs to be a bit stiffer as there is no shortage of body roll & more power is coming along with more practice as im pretty messy.

mad pic mate!

by **rat** » April 5th, 2010, 11:26 am

awesome pics, makes me wana get out on the track again!

by **bigdell** » April 8th, 2010, 7:43 pm

that pro pic is mad.
what have you done to your car suspension wise.

by **holmsy** » April 12th, 2010, 3:54 pm

all this work on cars and i spent the weekend watching a mate drift a bog stock dual cab courier. and doin pretty damn well i must say.

by **bigdell** » April 12th, 2010, 4:22 pm

as they say.

by **ed40** » April 12th, 2010, 6:33 pm

haha its do-able but it requires a massive set of balls

by **holmsy** » April 18th, 2010, 10:15 pm

lol this guy is insane. i got some vids but as it was dark all ya see is some headlights and cant see shit.

between him and his mates. can be sure to see drifting or tyres exploding any time ya go over.

they get out one of the guys stock au wagons. all it has is 3.9's and a spool
and he just goes out and shreds tyres and drives home on the rims.

by **Another_ef** » May 6th, 2010, 3:16 pm

i must say can somebody develop extra lock spacers and longer tie rod ends so we can get extra lock while sliding

in saying that does anybody know if the falcon steering rack bear any resemblance to a s13 steering rack in ways of thread pitch and size i was thinking maybe a s13 extra lock spacer might fit into a falcon steering rack if so instant extra lock for better control under sideways movement

by **Rollin** » May 6th, 2010, 5:38 pm

You could give it a go... I have a set of EF rack ends in the garage, I should measure the thread diameter and see if there is a similar sized jap spacer.

by **rat** » May 7th, 2010, 7:38 pm

yes yes do it yes
Has anyone put a good tow point on the front of their falcon? Mine tow spots on the front are fucken hard to get to, expecially when knee deep in sand

by **BBQBurner** » May 9th, 2010, 11:51 am

On the topic of extra steering lock, is there room in front of the factory drilled hole for the tie rod end to drill another hole closer to the lower ball joint?

You don't need spacers just move the tie rod pivot forward and the stub axle will turn more for the same steering rack travel.

I'll supply paint pic's later if that doesn't make sence.

by **ed40** » May 9th, 2010, 2:22 pm

+1 for more lock please!

With an AU arm it looks possible to put the ball joint hole closer to the hub, not chance on E-series IMHO.

Much more work than extra lock spacers.

by **BBQBurner** » May 9th, 2010, 10:22 pm

This is what i was thinking, by moving the tie rod closer to the lower ball joint you increase the final angle that the stub axle assembly ends up at.
I haven't looked at e-series suspension in awhile but i'm fairly sure there's room to drill another hole, can anyone confirm?

by **Rollin** » May 10th, 2010, 5:30 pm

As I said in the post above....

Much more work than extra lock spacers.

Also, the problem with moving the tie rod end is that if you move the rack too far the tie rod and the stub assembly can form a straight line or a reflex angle which will then lock your steering and you will crash.

by **Another_ef** » May 25th, 2010, 11:12 pm

Rollin did you measure the those ef rack does it would be interesting to know the thread pitch and how close it is to a corolla, silvia or skyline thread pitch let us know as soon as you find out

This could be avoided by putting in some extra lock stops on the lower arm perhaps. I may well mean you don't actually get any extra lock but you'll not know till you try it I'd say.

by **Another_ef** » June 26th, 2010, 6:52 am

Lock spacer FTW if you just want instant quick extra lock

by **Rollin** » June 26th, 2010, 12:39 pm

Have you got some in your EF?

by **bigdell** » June 26th, 2010, 2:12 pm

if so tell a brother how to go about getting some :this:

by **Another_ef** » June 26th, 2010, 4:33 pm

Nah i dont

i would like to get one though, i was just saying instead of drilling into the lower control arm and what not, just see if there is a spacer that is close and get it to fit, i'd like to find out dimensions on a skyline/silvia lock spacer like thread pitch and rack inner dimensions, compared to an e series rack and if need be, drill out to suit and re tap them for the e series rack ends and tie rods!

by **Rollin** » June 26th, 2010, 7:15 pm

You won't need to do any of that shit - lock spacers are exactly that, spacers, they look like thick alloy washers, you just unbolt the inner tie rod end, put the spacer in and bolt it straight back together.

by **Another_ef** » June 26th, 2010, 9:52 pm

Yes i understand that, but by doing that you still need to work out thread pitchs and inner rack dimensions, just to see if a skyline or silvia one will fit, i'm going to buy a silvia spacer on friday hopefully, and then take it with me to a wreckers and see if it fits in a e series rack,

plus it wont be useless to me if it doesn't fit either, coz i will put it in my rolla with silvia front suspension in it

by **_JP_** » June 27th, 2010, 10:31 am

how to drift? lots of speed stay commited and kick ur clutch like a dog that shat on ur front lawn

warning to people this style may not and will most probably never work when attempting to drift

thats a good effort mate was that a handbrake entry into the corner or a clutch kick????

here is a crappy mobile phone video of bushman sliding my car around archerfield drift track last wednesday.

cheers bud, yeah cant wait till the turbo gear is all on n running

by **bigdell** » August 2nd, 2010, 8:16 pm

some very good stuff here.

but on a serious note has anyone had a strut brace on a falcon.

by **Rollin** » August 2nd, 2010, 9:14 pm

The turbo gets in the way

by **krisisdog** » August 2nd, 2010, 9:50 pm

CJH (fordmods) has one I think.

by **bushman** » August 2nd, 2010, 10:42 pm

Shouldn't be too hard to set one up similar to the 60's era mustangs, running a brace to the firewall. design it to suit your individuall application and it should work

by **krisisdog** » August 2nd, 2010, 11:20 pm

I'd get one just for the wank factor.
