Dirtyxhute

New wheels are on, and looking rad I think.

How much do you think a Barra swap all up would be ? I’m happy to do the work, but I know nothing so I’ll still be paying someone just to have the privilege of helping if they even let me. 
 
I have thought about it though, and it would be fun to drive. It probably all comes down to lockdown fucking with my head and being so bored at home. Like in my normal life I like a reliable car, not cop bait. But I still want the xh to sound good, go well, and Turn a few heads for a dirty old falcon. 

I’ve definitely got the space to keep it stock in a carport under a cover. I’ll fish oil the doors and let it sit. The xh is tidy enough but it’s been a work Ute so the differences are pretty clear. Beat up tub, scratched paint all over the show, but no accident and it drives nice. I guess I was just hoping I could make it fun to drive, but keeping it stock feels like a better option after all things mentioned.

once I get the roady on it for clubs I’ll chat with the guys and get a price on removing the gas, and go from there.

Got the new wheels arriving any day now for the xh, maybe that in itself will make me love the thing again. 
 

Gday boys, 
 
bought a new xg and I’m trying to work out which of the utes to sink some money into in terms of beefing up the horses.
 
will the xg have more room for improvement than the xh ? Or vice versa, and what sort of mods should I be looking at ? 
 
I was about to put hurricane extractors and a new exhaust set up on the xh, and hoping to pair it with a bigger cam and chip, but I don’t want to waste money I don’t have to here. 
 
theyre both dual fuel and mechanically they’re holding on for their age. km’s 300,000 for the xg, and 350,000 for the xh. 

am I right in assuming nothing will swap over between the two ? 
 
cheers boys. 
attached a couple of pics of the new xg

That’s damn interesting... I really thought revs impacted consumption. Thanks for the insight dean !

Went with 14”s all round. 12 week wait for my wheels, but I dropped it by two inches and it looks pretty nice I think, once I get the stockies off it should match what I had in my head

Valve seems to have fixed it ! Didn’t end up taking it in to mech thankfully, got side tracked and pulled apart other things haha... down the rabbit hole we go.

Cheers boys about to drop it back to the mech who organised the gas.
 
will wait and see if they charge me through the nose for something invisible. 
Will update once I get an answer 💪

One thing you have to be careful of with an xh is that your front tyres aren't to tall or wide, the tyre has to go under the top ball joint (circled area in pic) on xh/e series front spindles
 
Ive run 235 55 17 on the front of an xh and i dont think you would fit any wider tyres on stock offset wheels
 
 

Yeah 6.5 was my bugger up.
Thanks for the info guys.
 
the tyres I’m pulling the trigger on are 
235/60R15  on the fronts 
and 255/60R15 on the back.
 
Will post some pics once I’ve finished it all off 💪
