    Sanding looks okay id say the finishing polishing method you are using is not sufficient enough to bring out the shine. Need to get a few different grade polishes and pads then finish with a wool pad with purple polish.
  2. Hi guys, Has anybody successfully turbo'd an XE EFI with the early efi bosch jetronic? I have heard with a fuel reg and plumbing in the afm into the cooler piping some people have got them to run low boost. Would like to hear experience, wouldn't mind running some really low boost setup on my XE for giggles.

    XE EFI Upgrade

    I've got a barra powered AU so for me it's nothing new. But I have a love for the old 250, I would like to see if I could modernise the EFI arrangement. That's why I was thinking EFI with an EA ecu.

    XE EFI Upgrade

    Barra is an option, but Id like to keep the matching number engine in use. A cammed crossflow sounds awesome I am stoked with my XF.

    XE EFI Upgrade

    Hi guys, Looking to put a bit of muscle in my XE EFI which currently is a bog stock 110xxx motor runs perfect. I would like to put a decent sized cam in it and upgrade the EFI setup and ditch the AFM. What sort of mods have people done in terms of ECU with room to upgrade? I have heard running an EA/EA2 ECU is an easy upgrade for these and you can run the maf sensor then and you have tuning capabilities for a big CAM etc. Any feedback would be awesome! Regards, Alex.
  6. I've heard of the dry ice but under the car I think this would be a mission and a half ! I'm going to stick with cleaning it up with the wire brush and cleaners I don't need to take it off just want to give it a freshen up
  7. Thanks for your reply mate, that is good to know. I wear the 3m mask anyway just wanted to be sure it didn't contain any of it. Its got that much dirt on it I'm wire brushing it all to break it up.
  8. Hi guys, Wearing a 3m mask when I remove/clean the underbody deadener on my XE project. Just wondering whether there is asbestos in the deadener at all? Couldn't find much info on it. More for curiosity. Regards, Alex.

    I wouldn't touch this car it just looks awesome how it is bone stock!! Cool find indeed.
  12. They are significantly bigger than regular bump stops on the old x series, and these only have one sided drilled to press and attach the bump stop over a metal knob on the BA. I'm pretty sure you can still get regular ones from nolthane to suit x series?

    XD front guard panel nut

    Either go to the wreckers and grab some off cars already or grab these which are the rarespares ones.
  14. I have these on my AU, for the fronts to go lower the golden ring must be screwed down. There should be quite a bit of height adjustment on them I would hope =/

    Buy a heat gun, it is a good investment. I ended up having to do a similar job and had to go out and buy one. Am surprised at exactly how much I have used the heat gun since then!
