[Les]

Dave has done a great job and good to see it finally on the road..We will be cheering it on at the nats.. :D

Cheers Les

[RSKY]

Ford fan (which i am) or no Ford fan, you still have to appreciate fine work!!!

[rs_wagon]

I'm no Ford fan (im only vice president of the anti ford commitee) but I have to admit that has bee done very nicely. Would love to see it move - it would be like a sneeze in a cyclone.

[xespack]

Gday all here

Just joined up your forum to ask George if he can tell me some more about this car? Have to say it looks like the best XF i have ever seen and not to mention the power out of the 250!!!

So George could you enlighted us al as to what this beast has hiding inside that block and what turbo it uses etc etc?

Thanks

Aaron

[xespack]

Also while i am in here,

How did he fit those tickford wheels? Did he use spacers or adapters or are they aftermarket copies made with the correct offset for the x and e series?

Thanks

Aaron

[Leigh[RS STI]]

What a great Foulcan. Top marks for that beast!!

I too know Dave, and I was wondering if he knows his car is here.... :roll:

Very neat unit with commodore door trims for the Holden fans!

[george|rst|]

I too know Dave, and I was wondering if he knows his car is here.... :roll:

:? haha yeah dood, trust me, he knows :wink:

[fuzion]

one incredibly nice car..

you think it'd be posted on a ford site instead of having to find it thru a ford site :) lol

the wheels are copies which fit ea-el, you can also get au2 xr 17s in copies too.

george, im sure if u went to ff or fordmods u'd get a hell of a lot more praise from ford fanatics! :)

[george|rst|]

They r not copies!!!... he also has those wheels on his EF!!

Every mofo asks him how he fit em... and u catch im on a good day he'll probably tell ya hahah :lol:

And yeah he'll probably get alot more praise if they r were posted on a ford site :D ... all will be able 2 c it at the Easternats, plus in a few mags, and a feature on a well know website soon.. :wink:

hey its dave here mr fusion, lol to you mate ive had genuine au series 1 rims on both my cars for over two years, theres nothing fake about them, the non genuine ones are very much different, color, finsish, cant fit genuine centre deceals not to mention like most other mock up wheels they are weak and dont meet australian standards and i wouldnt dream of putting them behind 600+ hp :shock: . And by the way guys thanks for all your great compliments i realy appreciate it :wink: and my main mission is to have it ready for easter nats which is proving diffucult, thanks.

[WILDTC]

Hey dave its vinnie howz it goin? these pics of your XF are the first time ive seen your creation and MY GOD!! :shock: i pretty much drooled all over the keybourd! hope you embaress alot of people at the nats cause with that power(which alot of people find hard to believe but ill fixem up :wink: )your gonna do real well. Im not gonna be able to make it to the nats this year but i hope to see your car in person real soon take care :)

[fuzion]

dave, your actually quite wrong.

i have au2 xr copies on my ef, they fit fine and the finish is actually better then the originals. also the tickford centre cap is a genuine ford part and fits fine, so i dont knwo where you got your infomation from; also their completely legal. oh! and even FORD Dealers bought a lot of copies for the AU range since they were cheaper then actually getting it from Ford themselves as ive been told by a ford dealer/wheel-tyre place.

thought i'd mention it :)

[george|rst|]

A couple of pics from Easternats of Daves XF.. the amount of attention from this car got from magazine photographers and spectators was incredible..

[adam|RSLC|]

A lot has been said about the motor and paint but the car has some great small touches , the clear rear indicators are great and the au side repeaters suit the car and at least their ford items instead of the often used holden items.

My old vlt had 330 @ the wheels was auto and couldnt be held flat out in a straight line until above 140km/h , manual ,420kw and leaf rear springs ..... i think i'll watch from the side :D

[subarursliberty]

Get it signed by Dick Johnson and drive it off a cliff. As you can tell I hate fords. But you can't argue its a well put together car.

[DRMAT]

Better yet drive it off the cliff while Dick Johnson is inside it signing it... and chuck in Alan Jones as well.... come to think of it put those two traitors Lowndes and Ingall in the boot as well :D

But yes, very well done car, building my own car i can appreicate the time and money that goes into these things!!!

Mat :shock:

[subarursliberty]

Ha Ha. The rat could be on a leash behind.

I don't know what to do with Ambrose yet though. Bright has made the right choice by leaving Ford (first thing right) then leaving the fu^%wit team was the best thing he could have done (second thing right).

[george|rst|]

420kw and leaf rear springs ..... i think i'll watch from the side :D
adam

It doesnt have leaf rear springs Adam, its an xf :wink:

[Les]

Come on boys thats a little harsh...maybe your both a little pissed cause it could whip both your cars :lol: ...at least admire his work before you bag Fords.. :P :lol:

[viperspit01]

I was talking to a guy at the Ford open day at the Ford Discovery Centre for the 100 Years of Ford (not sure if anyone else saw his car, it had been resprayed the Barra Blue colour which looked mad) who has an XE built up with a Super-Charger, and he was saying there is a guy in Sydney who makes Rear Spoilers and Side skirts to fit XD/XE/XF sedans, so if you can also get your hands on those it would really boosts the aero-dynamics aspect of the car!

It would really boost the performance of your XF as well as making it look one of the madest XF ever!

[JammPacked]

I too know Dave, and I was wondering if he knows his car is here.... :roll:

Very neat unit with commodore door trims for the Holden fans!



i know this thread is old but it's time a revival came about to acknowledge the awesome amount of work, effort and perfection which came together for this amazing car. commodore trims for the holden fans???? i think u'r on drugs, why would he want to give holden fans that kind of satisfaction.

why are so many ppl so narrow-minded that they cant look past the badge on the car to see the amount of work and effort involved with building such a car? phew now i feel better, had my two bits worth

[Joel|RSLC|]

Its still a ford...... :? :shock: even with stock power try putting one through a corner at speed! this one is a coffin on wheels!! 8)

[george|rst|]

Its still a ford...... :? :shock: even with stock power try putting one through a corner at speed! this one is a coffin on wheels!! 8)

Its dave with the xf, you'd be suprised how good the coffin handles, a double wish bone front end when set up right handles better than a machpherson strut front end like the one in your suby, p.s. when you wheelspin in 4th gear rolling... turning isnt a problem... so bring it on. Im coming on the next subaru cruise with George so we will see then :twisted:..

[GTB96]

Mad car Dave!!!

Im a Ford fan and i love your work with the XF! Would love to see it in action!

[Swifty_FPV]

OMG that is the sikest XF i have ever seen, top Fuk*n Effort. Is there a list of all the modifications that he has made to the car? .... is there any other sites where i can get some more pics of XF's as good as this one or any custom Fords for that matter.

[DRMAT]

Yeah probably a Ford site would be a good start... they should have some "fully schik" pics.....

Mat :shock:

[george|rst|]

Easternats 04'

A few more pics of Daves XF.. came away with some $$$ and a couple of trophies.. top 10 finish in Show'n'Shine.. won best paint.. and second in the Dyno comp after correction values were adjusted

[RSKY]

Love the new rims!

[watercool]

Well.

I don't like Fords, and definitely not the Boxy's (XE,D,F)

But that is a most impressive car, and it would cane most anything that it came accross.............

Bet you it sounds lovely as well............

Well done, that is a really impressive Boxy.

[bosc0]

ummmm bling bling

Dave..... i want to have ur children :P

[george|rst|]

But that is a most impressive car, and it would cane most anything that it came accross.............


Yeah made 600 odd hp atf on the Eastenats dyno.

[Karupt]

OH MY SHIT !

PEEP those rims !

He's truely outdone himself...

When georgey told me he was getting dubs for it... I was sceptical.. but shit that looks fat as !

[george|rst|]

Drew, what r the chances of fitting rims like that under the guard of the Lib, with no mods!.. 20x8!.. :TD

[Karupt]

20x8's would fit EASILY on stock springs :P

[RSKY]

G, you've forgotten to post the most impressive part. his dyno results.

remembering it was in shoot-out mode... 596hp at the fly :shock:

[george|rst|]

No i didnt :P 4 posts up..

[RSKY]

pffffft. :roll:

[mvardy1]

that car is awesome! you have to appreciate it no matter what type of fan you are! congrats to him :wink: i remember seeing it at the christmas bbq and was blown away - would love to see him come on an rs cruise :D

[Joel|RSLC|]

why didn't he keep it taxi orange?

[Noodles]

i think we just picked up about 25 new members who cant even spell subaru :lol:
but seriously that is cleeeeeeeean! dunno bout the colour, or chromes, but you cant deny that that thing is built!
i'm almost as big a ford fan as i am subaru fan and i have to say congrats mate. its loose.

:bling

[george|rst|]

The wheels are aren't chrome, they are a Billet wheel, with a hand polish to bring out the natural shine..

[watercool]

What Gearbox is in it???? I assume its got a 9-inch with a spool etc..........

has he run it down the strip??? Keen to learn the times G if you have em..........

I must be ill or something because that is a ford that I*cough like.

Strange.........Mmmmmm Billet wheels..........

Gearbox....? funny question that.

from what g's said. his last XF was auto and ran EXTREMELY quick times.
he wanted to have some fun with this one, so it's got a...... 4 speed top loader.... i think..... G?

[george|rst|]

Steve... it runs a toploader and a modified standard diff with a spool..

Daves run at calder a couple of times.. (pictured)
http://www.fullboost.com.au/racing/dragmeets/2004/calder_04_01_2/calder_04_01_2_035b.jpg

His best is 11.61 at 122mph.. the problem is finding a clutch that doesn't slip with slicks and 23psi.. so he hasnt had a clean run as yet..

Yeah and Jos said, there are Turbo 6 XE/F's out there with less power that run 10's all day.. but they all run autos.. :stick

[watercool]

Yep, for strip work an auto would do the job better............

and J, why is it a funny question? "what G'box"

I just wanted to know what manual box he was running as he could have converted a Muncie or had some sort of Dog box in there...........

I guess his prime objective is street driving etc......... yeah?

[george|rst|]

Yeah thats it really.. its a weekend car.. wasnt built for the strip, hence its ride height etc..

[Noodles]

The wheels are aren't chrome, they are a Billet wheel, with a hand polish to bring out the natural shine..

sorry mate didnt mean to offend. what i meant to say was... that car is fu(kin horn! but if it was my car it wouldnt be green with hand polished billet wheels :D
sorry mate i can respect how much you love your car and its an awesome weapon :B

[george|rst|]

lol.. its my mate's car.. :?

[NRGIZE]

F**k I Luv this car go the fords!!! Thats Hot I Swear!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[i am a RS]

holly shit that car is WICKED. and it would deffinetly have some stick. very much a fan. :D

An update on Daves XF T for those that care..

It'll be in this months issue of StreetMachinemagazine.. comes out in a couple of days..


It has Garrt Myers new Mustang on the cover (http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/carcontent/streetmachine/sep2004.pdf) <---- click to see index

[bosc0]

about friggen time.... i've been looking whenever i go into the servo to see if its out yet ;)

[Nathan|RST|]

I haven't seen it since he got the new wheels, they look great.

[bosc0]

DUBS..... oh yeah baby!!! i want 20's :P

I think he ate through about 1k worth of tires at the photoshoot hahaha

[DRMAT]

Looks like the big industrial court behind Bunnings in Moorabbin... where everyone does burnouts...any chance it is George? :lol:

Mat :shock:

[george|rst|]

Most photos were taken in that area.. more down towards A1 Gym... the burnout photos were taken on property owned by Street Machine..

[matRX]

Looks like the big industrial court behind Bunnings in Moorabbin... where everyone does burnouts...any chance it is George? :lol:

Mat :shock:

is that off Warragal Rd? coz thats where i go when its been raining an the roads are really wet, with my Lib RX an get it sliding around the corners, very fun :twisted:

[DRMAT]

Yeah starts at Cochranes rd and goes all the way round to Hungry Jacks, all very nice, wide roads for the trucks etc. I live within earshot when it's quiet and you can pick the difference between someone doing a decent burnout with a bit of power and the try hards doing single spinners :lol:

Mat :shock:

[wrxenemy]

holdens suck up the falcons ( xy gtho phase3)
very very noice xf, thats one damn fine example of a falco

[DRMAT]

Holdens suck up the falcons?
Do they have really big vacuum cleaners? Or just a lot of inlet manifold vacuum and big intakes?

Mat :shock:

[wrxenemy]

haha yeah they have great vaccum pressure

oops meant to say "holdens suck, up the falcons"
im to tired for this internet stuff hehe

[crozza]

good god

[thomas]

Picked up the latest street machine, no idea why but i did in the supermarket not even thinking about this car, and ive never picked up a copy of street machine before, and the page fell open to this car, crazy! Anyway looks real good the colour and stuff was really nice , Well done to the owner for building an ace ride!

-Tom

[waylander_jobby]

thats some insane power, ive got an xf falcon, and i never thought that one could be made that powerfull. i like the green spray job and the head lamps too, and the interior is tops!

[DRMAT]

Wow almost a full year for this resurrection.... is that some kind of record?

Mat :shock:

[Kristian]

long time ford fan here, that is the finest example of a FX i have ever seen.

421 Kw @ the wheels!!! (what is traction like?)

how long has it taken to get it to this stage?

[DiscostU]

that is mint, every little thing is taken care of all the detail is amazing. love the colour and the rims also the trim is hot.

[XF Falcon]

Mate, lovely car. A true inspiration to us other XF owners :P And congrats on the top 20 finish at Summernats.

This post is a bit late, but better late than never i suppose :)

[Jarrod|crzyrs|]

ive seen this car before but with like 19" wheels on it in highett...idled it down the road pulled a U turn and let it rip.

[george|rst|]

shiz, how old is this thread!! Dave will be at Easternats next weekend..

rsturbz, they'd be 20's...

[Fuji-Heavy-Industries]

all u can simply say is that is a awesome car, it doesnt matter what manufacture it WAS - its something totally unique now :tu

[WogRS]

This is my mates XF Turbo.. just recently got it on the road and all tuned up, as u can see its not quite finished, but it will be soon and if u wanna c it in the flesh it should be at Easternats next month...

[Bibe]

[george|rst|]

Dave had is car featured in Street Machine a couple years back.. im guessing that were you would of seen it.. but it looked more like this..
http://www.rslibertyclub.org/Pics/EN3.jpg

[naif]

seriously that is one nice ford! it makes me want to get the old XF wagon off dad :d

[george|rst|]

Yeah he's done some nice changes since i took those pics.. spent more time on attention to detail.. ill take some newer shots when i see him next..

[WogRS]

No tahts right it was street machine.

[XF Falcon]

Yeah mate, if you can get some updated shots that would be great :-) I know a whole bunch of guys that would love more pics
