TUFED6 - ED Falcon Turbo - Not 56k friendly

[TUFED6]

Was a bit bored this arvo so here is the inevitable Boeing photoshoot.







Some things I've done lately that are probably more a case of 'because i could', or sht I've had sitting around for ages-

- ED Ghia leather interior
- White internal louvre
- Scorcher front bar
- Normal ED XR headlight surround

Things that might happen-
- Get the front bar painted
- Redo the tint
- Get rid of the louvre because it rattles like a motherfcuker
- Replace the 18's and get some of those 17in steel chasers

Good chance that none of that will happen.

jesus t1tty-fvking christ

thats droolable

[old_mate]

why dont the front bar sit flush with headlights and guard? Not being a gay kent but just curious

looks sick as man

I reckon a stocko bar and gen XR6/8 headlights would look better, but thats just me

[old_mate]

so your saying sundose has a shit cooler. awesome


didnt realise big men's coolers need so much room, makes sense now that Rollin uses a Soobaroo front bar

someone needs to make a more factory looking aftermarket front bar with FMIC space

[XRated]

You really need to get this thing down the strip John!

Is a Scorcher-XR hybrid front possible?

[TUFED6]

In most of the pics above the front bar is just sitting on- no bolts, so it droops a bit.

I'm not 100% on the front bar either, but it hides the cooler and thats what I wanted. Scorcher would be great and its funny having half the cooler hanging out of a stock bar but I don't want the attention.

If I didn't care about stealth I'd get an XR headlight cover mated with a scorcher bar.

Anyway, heres some of the pics from SF#1.

[XRated]

Awesome shots. It looks sick... I wish it could still retain the stock front bar though

[obriza]

awesome, awesome car... wish i could get mine anywhere near as good as that some day. Personally I wouldve put skirts and a rear bar to match the front bar... still fookin awesome anyways!!

[MADEA]

[hot-au]

[Damo]

i'll pay $$ to have sex with this car. jk Seriously though.

[TUFED6]

Gangsta lean, hot or not? (lows in front, ultralows in back. I'll fix the front tmrw...)




I reckon I can swap rear springs in these things in under 20 minutes now...

[Fritzz]

does a spring change mean no drags?

[Ef_frmnt]

side moulds. asap.

[TUFED6]

Nah just put them in for repco on saturday... they'll be coming out again soon

No side moulds ever, hate them! EA GL FTW!

[Gunns]

Slam the front! I am not a fan of Dixie spec lean.

[TUFED6]

Megaupdate- RIP cast bottom end.

I'm still grinning!

[ORSMEB]

Tuff!!

You like waiting for your opponent to start dragging before you maul them don't you?! Lol

[old_mate]

i think it needs the side moulds back on. Or maybe they'll fly off going that fast lol.

very impressive time. Any ideas why it ate a piston?

[TUFED6]

very impressive time. Any ideas why it ate a piston?

Not that impressive IMO.

I haven't cracked it open to confirm yet, but it was hitting the rev limiter at 3/4 track. My tuner had actually said to me a few weeks previously that he believed the rev limiter to be more harmful than an over-rev due to the forces that it places on the crank & piston/rings, and I'd have to say now that I agree with him.

Now that I've had a few days to think about what was happening, its possible that the thing was just plain out of gearing.

127ish MPH with 26in slicks, 2.92 gears, 5500 rpm limit = around 15% converter slip which seems pretty high to me. I was expecting 10% max. Not sure what to make of it- more thought required.

[Bipolar]

Fucking sik. 'Nuff said.

[EFFalcon]

nice shots.
keen to see what the front end would look like painted.

[edfairmont4.0]

Bloody awesome E-Series represent

[ed40]

Love it :D:D:D

[NUT347]

the smile this car puts on my face is like a little fat kid walking into a candy shop.
