Passenger side is very easy as there is a heap more room. if you struggle with the drivers side as said above feed the headers from the bottom up if it's Easyer, you can also take out the drivers side engine mount through bolt and carefully jack or crane the drivers side of engine up to lean the Motor over touch which will give you more access. +1 for studs

Thanks for all the replys fellas I will check all of the above over the next few days and see if it's any of those, the car is in a bitch of a position in my driveway I don't really feel like getting muddy and wet.

Hey guys, I have recently purchased a Xe s pac 250 crossflow for a parts car. it wasn't a running car but now it is, when I tried to select any gear there was nothing accept park, I have never came across this problem with a auto before but I am also new to autos. From what I can see the top two bolts on the bell housing look like they are loose so the gearbox looks like it's been out before or posibly replaced Could there be simple solution to getting the box to select a gear or is this a take the gearbox out job? Possibly a converter problem? Thanks Scott

If I were you I would try and get my hands on a ba-bf turbo or a fg turbo they can be picked up pretty cheap and the come on fast and more than capable of 300 rwkw

What do you plan on using the car for Street, drag, drift, circuit that play a big part in turbo size required

Hey mate are you going to plastic polish your clear Perspex whilst the cluster is apart? This is some thing I have been thinking about as I have one I am currently bringing back to life. Maybe vdo could shed some light on how to do this he seems be the man with this gear

That's what I was thinking, the company would stamp gt on there clevo heads that they reco and then a serial number. Does any one no what company this is or I'm hoping some one goes wow there super rare heads but I don't think that's likely as I have never seen this on any clevo heads before even my last coupe engine

Hey guys, I pulled down a Clevo out of a coupe I while back and came across this number has any one seen this before the heads are in fantastic shape and appear very fresh? .

Cool thread mate, first one on this topic with detailed pics. I have Been told it is still not 100% accurate this way but it is very close I think there needs to be some thing else changed maybe resister as mentioned as above. I will still be using this method tho

Wow what a nightmare mate hopefully they arrive on time, there is nothing worse than being stuffed around with parts when you have already payed them with your hard earned cash. I will be following this build their is lots of cool things going on well done

I saw this on face book also today it does have me very interested, I wonder how much further working of the panel is needed before you can lay color down? Plus from what I saw there is no holes for bolts, I also wonder what the best method of fixing these would be maybe a nice size ss washer with a ss Allen key bolt? Cool product tho

My bt 50 ute with new Tyres (3 moths old) stepped out slightly sideways on the eastern freeway in overdrive 5th gear which it has never done any where. Plus popping the ute into little drifts was noticeably Easy today

Roads where super slippery today mate, sorry to here about your car at least your ok mate

They are a aftermarket wheel i had the same brand of wheel globe b45 style on my Xf when I first got my Licence

Any links mate? Sounds interesting

Don't true track make one?

Make sure your pulley is straight and the pressure of the clamps didn't bend it, my Xd ute had a slightly warped pulley and it use to throw the belt off over 4000rpm

Hey guys, I just purchased 4 pro star wheels I'm unsure if the are welds, craigars or copy's. The rears are 15x9 and the fronts are 15x8 they are a bolt together 2 piece rim. Can any one confirm the make of these rims and does any one know where to get replacement outer rims? Thanks Scott

Front Tyres will be coming off shortly I'll check then, I am going to get some new outer hoops made so instead of 8" I'm going to 5" there is a place in lilydale called white horse industries they make custom outer hoops. Not to sure on your location but they might do post or freight.

Hey guys, I'm wondering what is the best method for treating that veiny type of rust that's under paint usually? And I'm also interested on how to repair pitted rust sections aswell. I'm familiar with the por 15 rust treatment system, I also know of rust converters as well but I have never used them and I don't know the process from start to primer stage any info would be great thanks Scott

Thanks mate, thats very help full, I might go down to the paint and panel shop over the weekend and see if they have metal conditioner and what the process is of there product is but I did just buy a little Sandblaster do you use sand or soda? Also I'm spraying acrylic so my fist step after treatment is still etch primer correct?

I think these are called craigar alumastars still can't find much on these tho

I really am unsure they could be drag ways I'll look into that now I thought some one would of used or come across these wheels before I might send a few emails off and call into a few shops over the next week

Hey guys, I am currently working on my doors for the Xd ute and i have rubbed through to bare metal in a few spots and edges. what is the process of spraying the bare metal sections is it a case of mask off the primed and exposed body filler leaving the bare metal sections exposed to be etch primed, or can you just spot etch prime out of a pressure pack using the same paint on the bare metal and not worry about over spray on the filler and on the normal primer that's the real question? Thanks guys

Is this the stuff from the factory dealer or is this the pva glue stuff that you apply with a roller and it drys clear and is ment to peal off easy?
