    Stored crossy

    Thanks for the offer man but I just did it myself. Only used about 100mls of oil over all six but it’s turning over with a ratchet on the pulley easy enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. Ok, so I've been told my steering box is rooted. I have never had to deal with steering boxes so I know diddly about them. Do I need a xf specific one? If I find a second hand one, how do I tell if it's any good? Are they rebuild able? I do not want to convert to power steer. What are they worth?

    XH DOOR TRIM TO XF

    I can't remember why but I couldn't even leave the Square recess thingy in the trim on mine, had to remove it completely. They didn't survive being removed lol.

    You know that with old cars there will always be something else you should be spending the money on... Just buy them.

    XH DOOR TRIM TO XF

    I'm running xh trims in my xf, and tried for about 3 minutes to marry the two different systems up and gave up. I now have round door lock pins in a square hole lol

    Is the crossflow dead???

    Build pretty much anything and you will have a decent motor, with cost being the only real deciding factor. for most people doing mild street cars then a Crossy would be down the list a bit. Easier and cheaper to run a Barra these days. Even a n/a Barra would see a xdef into the 13s quite easily. If my Crossy turns out to be a disappointment when it goes in my van then il most likely go Barra. Ls would be nice, but rego is a killer on v8s up here,
  14. How much extra does that hold? i need to,get me one of these I feel.

    EL GT-P 18" Wheels on XE

    Falcon wheels are generally referred to as being pre-au fitment and post-au fitment. pre au is 0- +6, so the mounting face of the wheel is basically in the centre of the rims width. Post-au is +36, so the mounting face is 36mm closer to the outside edge of the rim. All five stud Falcons are 5x114.3 pcd.

    EL GT-P 18" Wheels on XE

    They're not el gt wheels, they're ba gt wheels. Wrong offset if factory so you would need bolt on adapters. If the offset is right then they're aftermarket copies.

    What to look for when checking out a new motor?

    Nope, just as you see it. I'm not really interested in using it. Il track down a t5 conversion for it, they pop up fairly regularly.
  18. I'm going to look at a new motor for my van next weekend, it's had a fair bit of work done to it, but it's now out of the car so can't be heard running, although I have seen a video of it running What can I check to verify its not just a stocker with a price tag? also, do all t5s have t5 cast on the side of the box? I just wanna make sure it's not a sigma box lol. This is what's supposed to be done to it. "20 over acl acl bearings polished crank 494 lift crow cam Aussie speed intake yellow terra roller rockers heads has had $800 spent on it alone 650dp carb with a kit and new bowl extractors double row roll master timing set electronic dizzy" hes chasing $1500, which I think is fair if it's all legit.

    Nah, il be getting an engine stand and going through replacing all the stuff that's a pain to do once it's in the car. This won't be a quick slap together by any means. I now need to source a manual conversion kit, pull my old motor and paint the bay plus the new engine needs to change colour too. Soooooo anyone wanna buy a borgie five speed lol?
