Things you wish E-Series vehicles came out with...

[Steady]

Is pulling your dick with your left or your right hand better?

[Malakai]

I just had a thought, how about an ignition circuit that stays powered while cranking... Would be handy wouldn't it?

[FNL01]

most of all the sensible things have been covered so i am going togo with front mount 50 cal. machineguns. oh and HUD would be cool

[Damo]

soft serve icecream machine woulda been nice.

[Rollin]

I wish they had head gaskets that held together under boost

And that the V8s had enough power stock to keep up with a I6T with a blown head gasket


Cupholders and proper handbrakes would have been good also.

[EDFalcon]

351c you're thinking of

Sorry commando, i was referring to a 351 cube windsor... Did they come out in x-series?? I figured (but have done no research) that the windsor would bolt in pretty similar to the 302 windsor we know and (some people) love. I didnt think the cleveland would swap over that easily hence why I went with the windsor.

[AaronEF8]

Left handed dick pulling FTW. Isn't that what autos are for? Then you can light a ciggie and smoke with with your right hand, and not have the dick smell affecting your smoke.

To get technical (which I don't mind doing at times ) The first, last and only Falcon to come factory with a 351W was the XW.

Falcons had clevos for so long because they were basically given the moulds from ford US. Not because they were great.

[AaronEF8]

351w is bigger than a 302w. 351w block has a taller deck height. The 302c is uniquely Australian, it's a 351c block with a de-stroked crank.

That being said, E-Series are wider between the shock towers than an XD-XF.

[edit] people (like me) love windsors because there was 35-40 million of them made, they are light, have a perfect stroke/bore ratio, can be made to have stupid amounts of power, and you can build one without using a single factory part, so you can replace any part with an aftermarket part.

[oneredED]

Cupholders.
Side-mount hydraulic handbrake.
A real LSD.
Acceptable brakes.

[Steady]

Dart Iron Eagle, 9.5" deck with SVO/clevo mains.
Canted valve heads.

Is it a Clevo or a Windsor

[EDFalcon]

Thanks for the info Aaron.. Guess it wouldn't have been a simple swap out then. They should have done it anyway!!

[Eb Barbie]

A plug for a hair straightener Lol I agree with damo, soft serve machine all the way! Mmm ice cream....

and the ZC Fairlane

[EL XR8]

6 cylinders that are reliable, and don't blow head gaskets every hunge. 
6 cylinders that don't sound like ass when an exhaust is bolted on.
At least another 20-30kw from the V8's stock, so that they were easily quicker than the 6's.
An EL GT, that doesn't look like an EL GT, more like an XR.
Better colour choices in all models.
Definately cup holders in EA-ED's. 

[G3R3N]

Decent centre console lids that dont tear would have been nice too

[simon5574]

Door hinges that can hold doors open without assistance

[Steady]

^^^ I smile a little every time someone laments about EA-ED cupholders

I don't get the point, why put your beer down?

[simon5574]

the best thing about our Territory, it has about 11 cupholders that i've counted so far but there could be more!

the lack of drink holder highlights the age of the boxcar... they were only standard in top of the range hong kong taxi's in the early 90's

[TriymeD]

Door hinges that can hold doors open without assistance

Hear hear!

TriymeD - check mine out next Friday at the cruise Trim the red bits in the pic below









$30ish off ebay, Nissan Bluebird U13 (early 90s) model.

[TriymeD]

Thats brilliant, its a pain that you cant use the compartment for anything but now you can. My next project!

[Gozza]

Thats a good idea Commando - Unfortunately you voided any props by drinking that Beer

[fordbaby]

el's should a come out in black instead of having to re spray black.

[TriymeD]

Wonder if these cup holders will fit in? They look a bit thicker than yours Commando but could work.

[Commando]

That beer shits all over your mum's breakfast juice.

As for those cupholders, they'll work with a double DIN surround (EF-EL). Or, if you can live without your stereo, that can take its place in your ED

[Eb Barbie]

I couldnt agree more! Or they coulda at least come out in pink or purple lol

[Damo]

EB or ED came in a pinky purple colour. It was called Magenta, though it wasn't a very popular colour.

[naz0]

It would be nice if they all came out with sunroofs
