dex reacted to SteveHobart in Crossy build- am I on the right track
Update to progress
So with Christmas, Holidays and all, I have managed a little bit of time on the old XF. I have managed to:
- install the 1/2 cage
- install the second (passenger) seat
- rebuilt the rear brakes
- installed a new rear handbrake cable (this was missing entirely)
- changed the rear trailing arm and Watts Link bushings for Nolethane (they were stuffed)
- changed the Swaybar links and bushings, am going to run the factory swaybar for now!
- removed the tow bar from the rear bumper (cut out the actual towbar)
- rewired the engine bay to a distribution block for positive and negative and;
- have just relocated the battery tray to the boot (where the spare wheel used to sit).
Am getting there!

dex reacted to FORD_MAN in Looking for 250 crossflow extractors
My Silver XE S-pak I drove on my P's I had standard manifold, exhaust fitters used a 3" long 2" pipe from standard flange to a full 2.5" exhaust, lost a little torque from 1000-1600 but after that it picked up. & When I fitted Pacemaker extractors & 100 cell cat to my XF ute (already had 2.5" cat back & 214°.495" Cam), only really made a bit more power after 3000 rpm (till valve float 😕) other wise only made a little difference. Same exhaust on my built xflow sounds another thing altogether tho,
I like the Hooker aerochamber muffler sounds nice on anything,

dex reacted to bear351c in Xf/ltd power window fix
No, doesn't matter. You'll see when you remove the mechanism from the door. It's a coiled spring, like a tape measure, and one end will be bent around a pin. It's not enclosed, so you can see everything.
It won't kill you.! but it will take the skin off your knuckles if you forget.
