Got An Ea Falcon... For Free


Recommended Posts

You guys are jerks. Don't you remember how stoked you were on your first car?

I had a red manual camry and I LOVED that POS.

Spent more on a stereo than the car was worth, lol. Used to get excited about shit like seat covers too haha.

Now I'm sad and wish I was 17 again :(

bought it back in 03 for 1500 bucks, it lasted about 2 yrs before a mates gf rear ended someone on the Iron cove bridge and blamed me for 'not like, fixing the brakes, and shit'. Was a great car considering it was an auto with flood damage (too many spilled mountain dews).

almost miss the thing. almost.

upgraded to an A4 which was an absolute lemon. now im in a skyline i aint ever going back..

Was an awesome first car, had it for almost 3 years i think before trading it in for the stagea. It went through all the standard p plater phases - the massive power increase of an exhaust + pod filter, half a bodykit, big wheels, stereo, etc

I used to pull chicks in my old EA falcon.

True Story

Yeah, no more.... Sold for $1000. Totally original, but so much rust it wasn't really a feasible resto.

Had the original wheels, but my old man pinched them for something else, and left me with R30s I think? Spend pretty much every weekend fibre glassing some part of it!

Was a 5 spd too.... Still got the Warranty/Service booklet!biggrin.gif

Mine was one of these

7SC094.jpg

Same colour same year

Bought for $2700 with 217000kms on it

had it for 3 years

I never had to spent a cent on it. other than servicing it,

And the cd player I put in as soon as I got it

Drove it to all the shows and band practices for a whole 2 years

Some f**kwitt broke into it one night when I was playing a show, lucky nothing was in the car, but he broke both my door locks so I had to get in through the boot and unlock the door from the inside

Took me and the wife (GF at the time) to bribane and back with the entire car FULL and I mean full of our shit.

It died at 320000kms the cv joints and shocks were totally gone and it wasn't worth fixing

This was my first car:

85456241.jpg?t=1274912378

Bought her for $4500Was a Manual Turbo with around 170,000KM on the clock.

Was making around ~150Rwkw, was quite fun to drive while it lasted. I had 7k saved to drop in an RB25, however it was defected prior and it ended up sitting for a year before i finally decided to flog it off. By then idd already bought my 32 GTR, so didnt see the sense in keeping both.

Was sad to see her go though :(

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
