Never Sell Your First Car, Race It!

Introducing my EF Falcon Futura. I have had this car since 2005 (my first car). It has seen a lot of racing over the years. Spending most of it's as a hot n/a 4L and was turbo for a while there too before returned to a stock AU long block for daily duties.
After being off the road for a few years I decided that it would be a great platform for a DIY n/a build where I can show you all how I am going about making this 4L inline 6 produce good power and insight into replicating it yourself without breaking the bank. Look out for the "Building For Performance" videos on this channel!
Thanks for watching, some engine specific videos coming your way very soon!

Love the E-series, the SOHC is soooooo underrated👍👌👊

SOHC is cheap asf to buy, not as powerful or revvy as a barra but still makes good powerr cheap. My favourite part - the SOHC sounds more angry than the Barra. Cant complain about cable throttle response either!

Hey mate just came across your channel. I’ve got a AU XR6 that I have had for about 3.5 years and I will never sell it. About 2 years ago I bought a Turbo 5L AU ghia that has taken most of the attention. I’ve got the ghia to a place that I am happy with for now and really want to do some work on the XR6. I’ve got a spare Tickford HP motor myself that I want to start work on and your videos will be a huge help and inspiration for me, thankyou.

Nice video mate, I made the mistake of selling my first car, had much better and faster cars since, but I've regretted selling it for the last 20 years! Keep it, look after it, 5 more years and the E-series will be very good money.

If my first car was a manual E series i wouldnt sell it either. I do miss my first car, was fun to thrash, pretty light and AWD but not really ideal to race being a rav4😂 People do swap caldina turbo gear into them though....

Yeah I'll definitely hold onto this one 🙂 Rav4 is pretty cool and I actually have seen one with a pretty serious turbo setup at Powercruise back in 2011, I didn't get to line him up though.. it was real quick back then.
