Speak to Rob (Slydog) he has his triples up for sale and he has a lot of experience tuning them.

That display is set by the inhibitor switch on the side of the trans. You must have a fault in it.

AU/BA front end into XD/XE
Valvebouncer replied to Mattyv's topic in Steering, Suspension and Brakes
I can’t recall it being done in this forum. I do remember a thread on another forum ( either Australian ford forum or xfalcon) where they guy was fitting a ba front end and boss motor into a purple xe. -
We all earn the same amount, not enough!!

I wish I was in the money!!

Or even attempting to get the security bolts undo to remove the ecu. I have done it on a ute that was miss firing and as I poured the water it stopped the miss. I did another 20,000km in that ute with no further problems
-
No. It’s Fords fix. It works.

Or inhibitor switch

Sorry, only just saw this post. BAs were reknowned for dry solder joints in the ecu which causes random misses. Boil the kettle and pour it over the ecu, it will soften the solder inside and fix the joints. Be wary changing spark plugs in these as they snap in the head. The first of them had problems with the timing chain tensioners, you hear it clattering on a cold start up and if it is really bad the noise will always be there.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean

Ok, it’s probably not worth the cost to post second hand hoses that far. Try www.sparesbox.com.au they have 20% off through eBay at the moment
-
Where are you located? I have heaps of xg cooling system stuff like good second hand hoses etc..
-
Totally utterly agree. I can’t tell people strongly enough to avoid buying a icrap. The cost of parts are just astronomical and every time something goes wrong it requires major work. People use these to make their livelyhood, it won’t do that sitting there broken down.
-
Well you are going to need to hook up the hoses ASAP to avoid overheating at the back of the motor
-
I saw this too. I’m guessing it doesn’t have a thermostat in it as the water won’t circulate with it shut. It looks like a part fix for a leaking heater core. It looks to be bypassed in other photos. That other thing is definitely an electro magnet. I’m curious to know where the wires go.

Maxxis IS Cheng shin tyre company. They made up the name because the Americans ( fuck yeah ) weren’t buying “ Chinese shit”. Dumb asses.
-
I’ll have to take a photo of the tyres we have on the Xr6 . They were $105 each for 245/40/18 . They are the stickiest quietest and hardest wearing tyre we have had. We went over corrugated roads in the Pilliga ranges that were notorious for cutting up tyres, we had nothing. I looked up reviews on them and the only bad review said they were no good in snow and ice ( derr). They are Chinese made and come out of the same factory as Dunlop’s. Edit: Sold by Beta tyres in girraween ( around the corner from vg auto paints )

They are a ginormous hunk of shit. You are better off blowing your money on drugs and alcohol. At least you won’t suffer while wasting your money.

converting floor shift to column?
Valvebouncer replied to xebruce's topic in Transmission and Differential
Yes?? I can’t imagine ford going to that much trouble making the floors that different from buckets to bench seat -
A decent runner in Sydney is more than that, a rebuildable engine would get $200. A good runner is $400- $500. It sounds like you could do with some extra $$$ after reading your thread so don’t sell yourself short.

Good advice here! Once again Penrite shines through, a great Australian company!
-
My thoughts? DO IT!
-
I was thinking to flow more for bigger injectors but then again, I have no idea how restrictive or free flowing the standard rail is.
-
Is there any performance gain out of a billet rail ( thinking more fuel flow )? Or is it simply something you can shine?
-
Everything else is crap other than genuine, Dave is right, they are no longer available. If you can’t find an auto electrician that can rebuild one properly use these guys https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222751260976
