Another E-series Saved From The Scrap Heap - YBYAVL Round 2

[YBYAVL]

jus thought id show yuz the poor defenceless lil ED i saved from the big car park in the sky....
paid as much as its worth to sims, an all she needs is a diff....

and a wash




i havnt decided wat to do with it yet, whether i keep it as a run about, swap everything from the EB into it
use it for sum form of project, or clean it up an sell it....i jus dont no...
maybe it could even be the E-Series donated car for wat ever event we decide to participate in eh...rally/drift/circuit/burnouts

[holmsy]

got a diff for ya

[YBYAVL]

im comn to get it!!!...pm me ur numba

[speed.freak]

Very nice , where do you find all these cheap box cars? i want one . dedicated drift/burnout car sounds good.

[EFFalcon]

i need a $200 EA-ED
find me one.

[YBYAVL]

lol...i gota lot of towy mates,
ill keep my ears open for yuz....im thinkn of sellin this for like 1500-2000 with 6mnths reg an roady
cant afford to keep it atm, but im guna get another 1 as a run about an proli use mine for the drift/burnout car
seeing as it has the sunroof an manual already

[BLCKED]

hahah looks pretty straight mate not a bad pick up

[YBYAVL]

and shes a go'er....scored a diff from jollys for 130bux, which included the sway bar, wats linkage an tailshaft....thats wat i call Disc to Disc
slapped it in an fuk me drunk, she started 1st kick and even comes with a full tank of LPG...
gave her the usual lube up an fluid change....she runs like a dream, altho theres a slight shudder at the front wen braking, but that no big headache to fix....might even keep it as a daily run about yet, duno....

[KNA.88]

for a daily run about car, machine the front discs for your brake shudder, put a decent set of 17's or 18's or even just EL XR wheels, DROP IT! and ur set.

well done for saving another e-series, its sad to see how many of them with straight bodies go to pick-a-part.

wat about the boosted derby lol, the fellas could do with one

[YBYAVL]

naa, guna do a quik engine change an flog it off for sum cash cash...
got an EF Fairmont engine sitn here for it redy to go in, jus gota doin the front/rear main seals an all the gaskets on it 2morow
then slap it on ebay a see wat i can get for it

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

haha, nearly looks like my one

[speed.freak]

What'd it cost ya minus the diff? just for curiousity's sake and possible future reference...

[YBYAVL]

so with the end of the silver car, im sick of driving this green snotbox bucket of shit,
as most of yuz have read...this was/is/might be/maybe/still dont no yet if its forsale
i decided to transfer all the gear from the silver banga into this to make it a lil more comfortable to drive

it all started with this pile of shit i had at work

so out came the factory ED motor

and in went the factory stok EL engine

interior had to go

kept the analog guages, jus put the cleaner glass on it (planning toput digi dash back in at a later stage)

change complete dash's for the EB's charcoal 1

slapped in the fairmont rear seats


boltd down the moza seats

then came the next problem with the car...its auto!
so after arguing with pat for an hour thats its easier pull the EL engine/auto out as 1 an slot in my other EL Engine/5speed as 1...but nooo, its easier jus to change the box he sez...
so i sez to him, either u do it ur way or ill do it my way...
as a result, heres pat underneath the car doing it his way

i still rekn my ways easier wen uve got both complete engine/box's sittin there readty to change but ahwell, it onli took 5hrs lol
with the manual in and workin, the steering wheel was the next mod

then it was off to the wreckers to build a diff
Donar car #1
4.11's from a pinatra

Donar car #2
Diff housing from an EA

Donar car #3
28spline axels from an ED


and a mini spool


slap the gears in

set the backlash
i got no pix of boltin the diff in, but trust me...its in there
so with the car goin not too shabby (refer to the FS thread)
i thought fuk it, lets give it sum gas!!!

bought a Sniper Wet Shot kit for V8 (75 - 150hp)
and in it went within half an hour of gettin back to the factory









wat nitrous??

ohh, that nitrous..






so there u have it....my new an improoved $2000 shitheap
ill let yuz no how it goes at calder wen i race it, id like to take it b4 i run 9 bottles thru it...
ive pulled the ghia rims off to polish them an rap'em in sum new rubber
and raised the ass for roady

[YBYAVL]

heres a pic i snapped of the 1st car i beat with the 75hp shot

WRX sportswagon

[Dansedgli]

Looks good mate. Its the way to go for cheap thrills. Put hubcaps on it and leave it at that height and you will never get pulled over.

[edfairmont4.0]

Dude how well do 4.11;s go in, So you used an EA housing? what centre ??? what did it take to make them fit correctly?

[edfairmont4.0]

LOL subaru get a surprise

[YBYAVL]

honestly...the 4.11s on the hwy cruizin, u dont even notice it....i sit on 2500 in 5th
an i still get around 400kz to a tank of LPG....ive usd a pintara crown gear
and a skyline center...pintara/skyline gears r the same....but pintaras/EA's are 25spline, skylines/EBII onwards r 28slpine, so ye, either Pintara/Skyline 4.11 with Skyline carrier in a EA housing with EB Axels and modfied lower control arms

[edfairmont4.0]

thats freaking cool ! saves fucking around with spacers and bullshit with the falcon diff centres.

[BLC]

1st must be pretty short with 4.11s.. do you even bother with 1st, or take off in 2nd?

[[D1SCNT]]

5 hours 4 a manual convo my ass...

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

This car is coming up nicely Luke, it's the ultimate sleeper.

[travs ea-xr6]

Gee pat how could you see what you where doing it looks like you where working in a dark cave

[[Sterling]]

ill ive you a run in the BA luke (off street of course )


p.s you still got my extinquisher to kent lol

[[D1SCNT]]

ill ive you a run in the BA luke (off street of course )

i hear grass dont do much for traction...

[huggiebear]

looking good.. you doo soo many mods in such a small time its amazing... how much are those nos kits?

[XR_Lightning]

5 hours 4 a manual convo my ass...

I did mine in 5 and a half and that was with a trip to bunnings in my dads car to get imperial allen keys to take out the fill plug on the box

[CaRtZ]

wow! has come a fair way! props!

[campbells_xr6]

how much did the nos set ya back?

[pantic]

5 hours 4 a manual convo my ass...

takes 1hr tops to pull dash in/out change pedal box.
1hr to pull out the auto (auto changeover 2hrs)
1hr to fit the manual.
1hr for the nibble bits like cable/shifter/console etc etc

if you aint mechanically minded. maybe 3 days

last manual conversion i did... i didnt support the auto.. just let it fall on the ground from a 6ft hoist.. was awesome hahahha

[edfairmont4.0]

hahahahahah nice i wish i was there to see the auto go bangggggggggggggggg lol make a mess?

[Malakai]

Damn you guys are rough!... But effective.

[[D1SCNT]]

in that 5 hours we also changed diff, zorst.

if it took me 5 hours to do just a manual convo in a falcon id slap myself:P

[edfairmont4.0]

When and if I eventually crack and go manual ill let you convert mine

Me and my mate did a manual to auto conversion in a commo in like 4 hours or less...But they are a dunger and there is nothing to them. (83 VH)

[NUT347]

lol, if you read it correctly.... he said 5 hours to do motor AND gearbox.

back on topic, nice falcon man, cheap...fast...fun. wicked man!!!

[YBYAVL]

sum more updates quikly...
those on the cruize last sunday would of seen me putin in bigger injectors
floggdem from a '94 magna from the wreckers...

small problem tho, start bapbappbapbaaapbappapp'en 5,000rpm
so im guessing the fuel system cant keep up with the increased flow...

this adjustable fuel reg might solve the problem, i hope.

and also got sum Maquirie G60 for the ass to help it hookup



and scored sum turbo blades from the wreckers for 70bux....
got a new bonnet an bootlid for 100 aswell,

[Kyle the ED4LTR]
