Is it standard hight or how low is it from standard?

Sounds nice what size and brand of mufflers did you use?

Pavtek use them in there 393 550hp clevo combo with a warranty and I have only heard good thing about pavtek engines. I have not used one myself tho

I think I was getting to excited with the air speed file I rubbed through on edges and on the Edge of a low. I bought some 1k etch primer cans so I'll mask up the filler and primed areas and spot prime the exposed steel hopefully no fry ups

Hey guys, this is one for the panel beaters and spray painters. I have just bought a air speed file and I am wondering when I oil it and use it will spit oil out on my panel I'm working into shape is there a particular oil to use? It is un-used at the moment I'm waiting to get the right size paper but I'm keen to give it a test run.

I'm keen to see what people have done on this topic As well

Try Ron from Kustom Bitz call him give him your measurement thread size and how many you need and he will post any where and he is cheap and a nice dude and likes fords. I had a set made for my barra engine $69 for Allen key wind in studs intake and exhaust nuts and washers that's freekin cheap

My biggest regret is not using studs so +1 for studs

Thanks for the replys fellas, it didn't make sense to me oiling a tool to use on panel work when primer,paint and filler is down on the panel considering your not ment to touch it with clean bare hands. from now on I might do one drop of oil run the air tool for 1 minuet full song away from the panels im working I might even hold a price of paper near the exhaust and see how much oil comes out. I'm surprised there isnt oil catching filters or a better system

Ive been told there is a factory oil filter that's bolted to the block that feeds the oil to the turbo some times this can get dirty and starve the turbos oil supply make sure your mate replaces the filter or the same thing could happen to the new turbo some one correct me if this is incorrect

Hey guys has any one experienced indicators not working and then some times working and a fizzing kind of noise coming from the dashboard?

Ok cool any pointers on where this is located is it a part of the cluster or is it located some where else in the dash thanks for the Reply mate

Hey guys thanks for the info I'm going to aim for a new cable cheers

Hey guys, I'm chasing up a handbrake cable for my Xd ute I'm not sure if this is the factory one or from another model. does any one know what this green colored cable came off factory and can you get these new?

Stock cam and springs will restrict you but being sohc your mad not to change them as there easy to get to

Hey mate, there are a heap of sohc ford guys running around with 350kws on completely stock Au engines with the required bolt ons of course, I'm sure there will be guys that have pushed these engines to find there limits but 350kw reliable is achievable just need to find the tuner that will make the set up last.

The front cable is in very good condition also. Cheers gregaust I'll check them out

thanks for the reply mate my Xd has a 9 inch disc brake diff my factory cable was damaged and the cable in the pic has frayed sections on it but that's the type I'm after.

Hey guys thought I'd post a pic of how I made my bonnet release handle stronger as one of the blokes from Pedders suspension broke mine like 5 years ago. I used a 2 part epoxy masked it up and filled the hollow section until full. I am now wondering if this would work on the handbrake as well!.

Sorry mate I was I a rush and just wanted to get it in so it would cure quickly, it was basically a massive hollow section where the grey epoxy is now. With this release cable I am using now I will make sure it is moving freely and easily what do you use to lubricate these cables? I've always been gentle as with the handle an never had a problem and then some Num nut yanks on it and brakes it at my cost mother fuker. 2am in the middle of nowhere and a Broken down car would be shit as lol

Hey guys, So It's been a while since my last post due to work And no time but on the up side i almost have enough coin to purchase a gearbox for my e85 fg turbo powered xd fairmont ghia project, I want to use this car on the street not for cruising and maybe hit the strip one day. The problem I am having I don't know much about auto's I have always had manual cars, from what I have researched the 3 that I am leaning towards is the powerglide,turbo 400,c10 (I already have a c10 due for a rebuild) I am after the best bang for buck auto that will last and that will suit my application, I will be aiming for 350-400 max rwkw. If some one could explain how each gearbox would be in the car that would be great or any other input would be great on this topic as its all new, Any one know who builds the best autos around Melbourne to? Thanks scott

Hey jetftr, thanks for the reply what was the main reason you changed to t400 over the c4 with the 1000 hp warranty that you aready had? Cheers scott

Thanks for such a detailed reply mate its great, this will help me out and a few others I'd say. I think I'm sold on the t400 but I will be keeping the c10 and I might give a rebuild a go with the old man for a future x series.
