XE falcon and EB falcon drifting

[h0ndarider333]

fuck thats sick

[Greno]

is that a baby crying near the camera or a supercharger wine??

[aussietraindriver]

@Greno some idiot in the crowd. both cars are naturally aspirated

[mccrackenphillip]

v8s

[aussietraindriver]

@mccrackenphillip No' both 6 cylinders (blue falcon 4.0litre straight six) (White falcon 4.1litre straight six)

[dodgyplonk]

That's a whole lot of ve-hicle!!

[XDEE351]

not bad boys. I've got a 351 XE ute and they're great for rippin skids

[PhatArtz]

Awesome Vid! I have one of each of those cars, an XE with a 351 Clevo and an EBXR8 and I love em both :)

[Barraman69]

Whats done to the EB? I've got an ED XR6 and i wanna set it up for drifting too hehe. Just need to get a Lokka diff in there and some sort of suspension set up.. Not sure where to start with the suspension though

[aussietraindriver]

@Barraman69 The falcon is turbo'ed now, suspension wise he did it the ceapest way possible, he welded plates between the springs to stiffen them up. wouldnt recommend it though, a locked diff is a must!

[TheFordy05]

@Barraman69 do your home work, u can do it under $15,000

[slamminmuffins]

who needs nissan's

[TheFREAKYfranchi]

that XE is freaking insane! my dad used to own a v8 XD station wagon and he said that was a beast. mass respsect for showing those jap ricers that falcons can do corners as well!

[gavism]

yess thats wat i wanna see. there are too many ignorant pricks out there that think u can only slide decent with a jap car. with the right shit the local gear can mix it up too

respect

[aussietraindriver]

@gavism Couldnt agree more. Anyone can buy standard drift parts off the shelf for a skyline or 180sx. it takes commitment and serious work to get an old falcon ute or sedan into the competition.

[KaneBeutel]

that XE is choice and the driver is a fuckin tank, puts any peice of jap shit to rest

[MrHellyeah2010]

Righteous. I salute you. People sneer at 250 crossflows and xe falcons. They don't seem to understand if given half a chance, they'll tear the balls of most ricers and v8s. You have done the xe proud.

[2farjake2far]

fucking awesome mannn fuck yeah

[nooki1102]

100% fine driving that was really good to watch

[chriscobbing]

shit yea

[bobbyjobob123456789]

farrrrrrrk yeah wicked as

[logandrummer23]

GET YA COONO OUT!!! lol i gotta love this! bogan drifting!

[Slotta69]

thats how old falcons are meant to be driven :)

[king1973]

fuck yea XE an EB =] =] = ]

[benatpc]

Respect.

[psshhhht1987]

what's been done to the XE, that is awesome, would really like to know the mods!

[aussietraindriver]

It has a stock car engine, revs to about 7500rpm, V8 ute springs in the rear, koni shocks, custom front springs, T5 gearbox, now a supra box, locked diff, all you really need is a good engine and suspension to start with, he has blown this engine up and rebuilt ir since this vid,

he's building a turbo 6 now for it.

[2525Jake]

@aussietraindriver V8 ute springs in the rear? leaf springs?

[mtm095]

i love the XE, they look so good when they drift. My dad has one in mint condition and completely stock. it has only done 30,000 km and thats real.

[AeronPhotos]

OMG I've never seen an XE drift before!! Thats cool!!!

[darkrealm666]

FUCK YES!

THAT XE IS THE BEST!

too bad it wasnt an xd.. those things are sexy.

[smithythefierce]

NICE TO SEE! i take it that the XE was making all the noise yeh?

love the sound of the old ford 6!

[aussietraindriver]

Yeah he has had the EB falcon since he was 17 he is now 25. So yeah you could say he grew up with it.. the guy with the XE is a bit younger but has had the car from a stock falcon also.

[kuruptJacob]

man falcons arent ment to do that shit he probably grew up in that thing fair effort . i have a whole different level of respect for falcons now.

[jget67]

That XE sat flat as a Tack! must have some major suspension work

[shuttles69]

that was sick as

[bjjxr8]

thats tough as

[zpunout]

Awesomeness

[DisavowedQ]

Fucking pro.

[GTFORDMAN]

that was some fkn exellent drifting in the XE!

[S1GMARE]

1286kg fairlane? you must mean the shell.

1286kg is closer to the weight of a 180sx.

[Viperflame08]

that looked great......

seeing them drift together like that.....

just Beautiful *Sniff*

[proudskip1]

any person that can throw a falcon round like that has skills, i have a BA one tonner on 19s and will only do it in the wet

[llvllongrel]

proudskip...not really man...look at that XE, notice 0% body roll...that sucker has a fair bit of work done...that one would be as easy to drift as a silvia really..if it was a standard S pack...he wouldnt be sliding with precision thats fer sure lol...but theres nothin better than to see a tough XE like that drifting...nothin quite like a quality aussie car..built with the thought that we can do better than that europian crap...who needs a BMW..we got FALCONS ;)

[shuttles69]

fuck yeah please teach me

[Powerslide0]

You can drift practically any car, be it a 4WD, FF or FR - you just need to know how or have the setup to make it impressive.

[doddsy99]

drifting in a ff car isnt really drifting if u no wat i mean

[Powerslide0]

Nah, it's not the proper drifting like you see here, but just dropping the wheels in the dirt or hitting the handbrake.

[fordmanmal]

Now, whoever the fuck said Falcons cant drift...fuck you! FORD POWER!

[fordmanmal]

And Im not referring to anyone posting on here (cant be fucked reading all replies) but I am referring to heaps of people I have asked about drifting a Falcon (if it was possible) they all said keep dreaming...HAH HERES PROOF!

[genderbenda04]

lol nice dude i dont mind the xe's eventhough im a young person but still id rather an old xf or an xe to an xd than any other new ford may not have the power but a few mods and its a fukin nice car....

i dont mind what uve done with ur spring setup and stuff like that... did u have to change the cambers and everythin else like that???

im only runnin a 92 eb series 2 4.0l with a luky sitting on the ass end... not on the road yet though its a rebuild.

grouse care mate

CHEERS>>>

[vxnice]

just goes to show with a sick suspenstion set up you can drifft even with an old family car... by the way you know how to drive mate keep it up champ :)

[fordmanmal]

Yes, true. But these Falcons are so god damn heavy, it would be almost like making a Truck go sideways. These guys have skills, and Fords just plain BUILT TOUGH.

[fairlaneguy82]

falcon heavy? i think not ive got a 87 zl FAIRLANE and it only wheighs 1286 from factory,

and thats a fairlane

[pcme06]

That is so cool, it's great to see some old Fords doing that, never tried with my XE when I had it, but did some good burnouts in her though, check em out

[aussietraindriver]

the XE is running a ford 4.1litre or 250 crossflow 6 cylinder engine with heavy modifications, the suspension, Koni adjustable shocks all round, ute rear springs lowered, hd front springs, large whiteline swaybars front and rear. cheers

[bjjxr8]

l love it what motor is the xe running what mods did u have to do to the suspenion

[aussietraindriver]

The EB will be turbo in the next few weeks and back out drifting. and the XE has had a complete rebuild with a few major mods. like bigger cam, EF crank, more head work. should sound ace and different. my cortina is about 2 months away from being out also. cheers

[AUZSHANK]

tough vid dude, Falcon dift FTW

[coewee]

this video rocks love the xe and the drifting and pn trains cheers

[toodii]

went in that at easternats 07'!! best time of my life :]

[syko4d]

te cortina?

do you have a build thread as im building a tf at preset?

[aussietraindriver]

yeah im building a TE cortina, slowly but surely for street and drift events. if you want any info ill send you my email. cheers.

[aussietraindriver]

yes! we need more aussie cars out drifting!!

[caliberracer]

i bought an xe today. that guy drifting blows my mind. what a legend

[aussietraindriver]

sworry the Vids are at, Type:-

(dandy nights), on you tube. he has some vids, i will have some more here soon.

[aussietraindriver]

if you wan tto see some more vids, there are some vids of stormy in his XE at Driftfest, if you want any questions let me know and i can answering, stormy is rebuilding th e engine now with an EF falcon crank, should be at Easternats 2008. cheers..

[caliberracer]

that xe goes off please tell me he added power steering

[aussietraindriver]

No the xe has no power steering, and with a fair bit of castor on the front wheels it is quite hard to steer. cheers

[xesp351]

Those boys have skills! Who was that driving the XE`and is there anymore video of him drifting that car? Id happily buy him a set of tyres and tank of fuel to see him in action.

[jjschultz28]

thats filth to of the best cars ford ever made go the falcons

[aussietraindriver]

Yeah thanks. will be updating vids from driftfest 07, shortly. was a good day!! Thanks for the "Aussie Car Fan club" much Appreciated.

[kingh87]

you guys did mad at calder 2day(driftfest) as well. Fuckin good drivers

[dbpmotorsport]

long live E-Series power check out my vids. Red baron will be drifting at QR soon. Keep up the mad work

[TRUTHHURTSAY]

fuck yeh, that surprised me!

[lukianp]

how is that even possible!!! well done1

[eds040]

the xe looks like an easier car to drift.. it's sitting much flatter then the eb and its probably lighter aswell!! Good skills buy both drivers though, not many people could drift boats like that.

[syko4d]

drifting an eb is easy but drifting an xe fuk me dead that guy has skills ill buy you a drink anyday your a legend mate

[aussietraindriver]

lol. yeah, i will be out there soon, in my TE cortina. that should be a handful, its a worked 250 crossflow on nitrous. should make around the 200kw mark.

[eds040]

Show us what you can do?

[eds040]

That was to Skyo4d.

[deankdx]

Nice, whats done to the XE?

what ratio is the diff etc is it just LSD of locker

[aussietraindriver]

The XE has, a speedway cam, extensive headwork, is balanced, running a 465 holley, extractors, a T5 gearbox and 3.9 mini spool.

a 3.7 diff would probably suit this car better. cheers

[deankdx]

are you a member of any ford forums such as xfords. com ? would be good to see more info on it, sounds tuff. thanks again

[aussietraindriver]

hey, i am a member of ford forums, my mate with the XE isnt, but my mate with the EB is. my car is still being built but is under mentl6 i think ill find out anyway. cheers

[406278]

RESPECT to tha man in the xe :D

[guitarshredder18]

right where I was for the V8's when they were there. When was this?
