    XP headlight adjustment

    My headlights are pointing just in front of the car, what is the best way to adjust them to get them up a bit to the correct line, considering high beam as well. I know I need a flat wall, but what next, what are the measurements Anyone? Thanks in anticipation
  9. Hey Guys, I am trying to track a heater valve control for the rear of the heater in my XP, the current one is buggered and not allowing all the water through, I have tried ebay but I must not be putting in the right words - anyone help please?

    Single rail pull down

    We have run a single rail in our XE track car for over 7 years, other than a rear seal it has given us no problem

    Single rail pull down

    all too quickly people blame the gearbox, but nearly all issues with transmissions are caused by the operator not driving them appropriately. pushing them beyond what they are designed to do
  13. Trevor

    Single rail pull down

    Generally 2nd gear is dodgy because it is generally your 'cornering' gear, and people pull them back into 2nd at a speed too high (using the gearbox them as a brake, to "slow them down") and thus wearing the synchro's overly You see exactly the same thing in truck synchro gearboxes, generally it is 4th in them

    so, is the car painted yet? or have you been slacking? (see you flyday)

    I thought you could pull them out and pay someone to put them back in again, talk to a window bloke, use the original windows, it might work

    You are going to pull the old stickers off aren't you - LOL Are you going to pull the front and rear windows out to paint it, it is worthwhile if you intend to paint the inside as well, we regret not doing it to ours Hazel said that you had sent a pic to her phone, she is laid up in bed with a bad back, best I go and look now - yep same pic

    best fuel pump

    What do you blokes reckon is the best electric fuel pump? We have gone through 2 Holley Blue's in nearly 3 years, burnt out the electric motors. I am investigating why, we have it hard wired to the battery through a relay, and am thinking that 14.2 charging volts when racing is just too much, but anyway we are thinking of going to a different brand of pump, any suggestions?

    setting hyd lifters

    We always soak them in oil first, all the good mechanics recommend that
  24. Trevor

    setting hyd lifters

    Is it a standard Clevo with standard heads? If it is you don't need to do anything, just pull out the old lifters and put the new ones in, there is generally no need to adjust rockers on a standard engine, the whole point of hydraulic lifters is to take away the need to adjust rockers, but I am not a mechanic. There is a really cool tool you can get for pulling out the old lifters, not sure if you can get them in Aus, I am sure you can somewhere
