    Borgy 5 speed (not T5)

    4.1 crossflow is a pretty torquey motor similar to a 5 liter V8 . It will last if ya don't give it a hard time 1st and 5th are the gears that are most likely to go so keep that in mind try it and let us know how its going in say a years time

    Borgy 5 speed (not T5)

    i had one in a vk it was the worst shifting gearbox i have ever used and i drove a ute with an aussie 4 speed with a worn shifter that could go into 2 gears at the same time but it was still better to drive than the borgy 5 speed

    What creates a rough ride?

    an xf has a smooth compliant ride as standard but even with HD springs and nolithane bushes they still aren't like a lowed VB-VKcommodore for hashness

    got 2 electrical problems an xf and an xg

    if i disconnect the battery and connect it again it starts (but one of the times i done that i gave it a squirt of ether in the intake )
  20. no point making 2 threads first the XG it has no spark something to do with moisture because it only happens in damp cool whether I would probably find the problem easy if the manifold wasn't so awful so any help would be good. The XF has parasitic drain that makes the hand brake light glow dimly when engine is off what should i check thanx

    diy gas conversion?

    fit the tank, converter and mixer yourself and take it some ware to get the lines hooked up and singed off
  22. they are good you can change girt or to scotchbrite disc in a second
  23. any one know if you can get these here i saw em on dream car garage
  24. i can and have even used normal angel grinder disks too on heavyer stuff but it would be quicker it ya don't have to take the tool away every so often to make sue ya on the weld
  25. i use the same sort of thing at the moment without the holes maybe i could cut some holes in a backing plate and disc so i can see the welds im grinding back
