My favourite car of all time. I had a 93 eb2 sxr6 with all the usual mods when I was 18-21 and will always miss that car. 5Ls got humiliated all the time 😂
Very nice car Max I remember when the E-series came out, back then it seemed like we'd always have local car manufacturing so its fairly sad seeing what we've come to. My parents bought a NA series 2 Fairlane from City Ford Box Hill and that was the most comfortable car I've ever driven just used to float along the road, it had the 3.9L multipoint & fancy 4 speed auto. E-series tend to be a rare sight these days so its great that your enjoying yours, as you say it feels similar to a modern day car without feeling ancient like something from the 60's or 70's. PS regarding your question at the end maybe your planning an outing with other E-series hmmm not sure...
Great cars, my first car was a ED Fairmont, currently own a 1981 FC LTD and its amazing how much more refined my partners EA Series 2 S Pac is to the LTD, big performance advantage too. Since having currently a EA series 2 at home, for a 34 year old car its great, yeah my current ED Fairmont Ghia is beautiful and even more refined but the EA has comfier seats and smoother ride, and the EA is better on the juice too. Love the early E series Falcons, great cars.
Great video! Great example too! I'd personally prefer a leather interior any day. They aren't absorbent like the velour and cloth trims, no matter how much you clean them, after 30+ years of absorbing sweat and god knows what other bodily fluids, farts, sharts, spillages etc..
Great vid. Love the car One point, unlike the Holden 5L, the ford 5L is based off the same windsor V8 from the fox body Mustangs. Minor differences, but more or less the same as the American design.
My Dad had a 1990 EA series ll Ford Fairmont Ghia Sky metallic Blue - some point one day I will probably one day down track end up buying one myself given the I am extremely close to my Dad - one person that supports me and looks after me given the I do suffer depression/mental health issues too, I'm on a DSP and make the most of what I've got too. I hope you are doing well anyway mate and I hope also you have had those bastards the tried to steal your WRX arrested by the police plus your car is being fixed by your insurance company ??

Wow. From someone who actually grew up and drove XB, XE, XF and beyond, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Rod bacon doesn’t approve :(

Cool cars got an ea myself
Only the best
Incorrect on the power figures the eb fairmont had 148kw and the xr6 had 164kw. The xr6 was actually quicker than the xr8 at the time

What springs are you running?
What a weapon.
Thanks bro
I have a 1988 ea falcon wagon with the 3.9 .I inherited from my father.it got to big and pricey to drive especially on a pension lol
Falcon was never really all new, except in 1960
Same basic platform/dimensions from 1960-2015.
True
Nice EL GT alloys. See what happens when you put a turbo.

Video on wrx update soon
@maxgal Cheers, mate 👍 take care
sounds better then my xr6 fg with a xforce exhaust want to swap haha?
Would very happily trade
Love my ed
Hell yeah
My 94 ED had driver’s airbag and ABS, which would be a good idea for a P plater! Mine was white and 5 speed too.
@@jashugg didn't know they ever came out with airbags
I don't hate them but they are lazy and use more fuel than my V8 let alone it's competitors.
No chance the 5ie is
@@maxgal test it
Only thing I can test with I have is a vs ss
2k no way more like 6k min
Just told this for 3500
