Many moons ago I bought a seriously mint condition EA S pack , Champagne colour, Centre point, 3 speed Auto would of easily been a 8/10 car and I did nothing to it for years. Just enjoyed driving it with nothing to worry about and it was silky smooth, quiet, A/C worked perfectly Big comfy seats even had a rear Venetian blind that just suited haha it was a weird thing to just enjoy an older falcon but I really regret selling it now. Yours looks the same as mine, tow bar and all with snowflake wheels. Rando fact but you can slam the 3 speed autos it into first gear at 80kmh and ring it’s neck out to 105kmh then click 2nd haha, do it in the wet and wiggle the steering wheel and it goes spastic ...... those were the days. Had a mate with one also but he flogged the hell out of it and worked those things out haha... Went forever though with zero maintenance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A turbo car always seems to be work to maintain. And I reckon I fell out of love with the EL because having two cars I cared about was a pain in the arse.Putting a turbo Barra in an EA would be a time and money pit!

Runs pretty well considering it's been sitting for about 4-5years. Only thing is parts are getting hard to get for it, even through work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E85 isn't available here, still looking at water injection.Debating on camshafts. Really need to do the diff before I go pushing for too much power.

Just tried to fit the tailshaft and it's too long by 5mm, but I think my diff is sitting too far forward.. Going to drop the cradle and get the diff rebuilt, maybe the IMS diff hat too.
