My I6 collection

Postby BI6TIM » July 19th, 2007, 3:52 pm

I think I might just be in actual love with the I6 motor.
Here are the current daily drivers.

^^That one's obviously not a Ford I6 but is pretty tough non-the-less.

Pics of the drift pig (in progress) to come shortly.

This here is my beloved ED at the height of it's NA glory the day before powercruise '06.

Although these next pictures are from powercruise '05, this is what I took it there to do.

I will get my wife to post a little video of drifting at powercruise '06 when she gets home as I don't know how to.

Yeah that stuff's coming, I'll more than likely just make a build thread for the ED soon.

Yeah, my brother always wanted the Ghia, so when I needed the money and the manual car to keep me entertained, we swaped cars and he gave me money for the bank account to make up the difference.

Sometimes I do miss the EL Ghia, it was deffinately a beautifull car. However, the EB is now quite fun to drive and I don't regret doing the swap at all.

By the way, nice to see some more friendly 'faces'. Maybe if I post up on this site that theres an event happening in QLD you'll come along.

I believe the EB is now quite fun to drive, because of the conversion we did of gay diff to not so gay diff. Would i be correct in saying that big nuts...

Oh yeah, they have since been changed. They are 18 inch crome something-or-other's, they're on my brothers car now, which just so happens to be my old EL Ghia (the Regency Red one in the above photos).

I do love the I6.

Yeah hopefully first drift practise of 2008 it'll be on the track. That's the plan now anyway.
I was really hoping to get it to powercruise this year but started running out of time real quick and with the wife getting pregnant and consequently quite sick, money has been quite an issue of late too.

Never mind. Now that there's no rego planned for the car (at least for a while) it will be costing less to finnish.
Oh and the photo's will be coming of the progress as soon as I get them.

Thanks man.

Hopefully next time I have a video of the ED drifting to share, it will be making far more smoke as a reslut of about 200hp more than it has in that video.

Big Turbo FTW!

Latest photo's of my daily driver. Straight after a wash was a good opportunity, with the water restrictions is QLD, washing doesn't happen that often.

That's EB GT seats before you ask and the door trims were like that when I found them at the wreckers. Soon to get a bit lower and some 'LOKKA' action in the diff department.

I'd imagine you could look in a BA for a shifter :lol:

It's not actually a BA shifter in my car, if that's what you meant, it's just a cheap autobarn type thing. It was about $20.
