slydog 7,873 Posted February 23, 2016 Costs vary and who to use in QLD I dont know but how much shorter and whats the use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwroo 348 Posted February 23, 2016 Putting a later model borgy out of a xd into my xw, looking at running 9 to10 inch wide rears. The diff is a 28 spline lsd disc brake. Ill just be using the car as sunday driver. Might need it to get shorten the xw/xy length or a bit shorter. I don't need a 9inch car wont be a big hp car.

slydog 7,873 Posted February 23, 2016 So looking at cutting around 50mm off each end yeah and leaving the spring perches as is ? I cut 75mm off each end of mine and the spring perches stayed in place and I can fit any array of wheel tyre combo under it know. If your going to run any real HP thru it or race or skid it I'd recomend some Strange cut to length axles in your choosen spline count.Buy em a few inches too long then cut to length and winner winner. I'd suggest someone would want around $800 to shorten it. 1 xwroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The motor is just a full rebuild 302w with your usual bolt on intake manifold, carby, cam, extractors so no horsepower at all and no plans for more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted February 23, 2016 I do a lof of borgys for cortys and made a jig its just 4 machined up dies that fit into the housing 2 in the center and 2 on each drop saw the ends fit the dies in and stick a tube up the guts to line it up and weld it back togetherI charge $1000 to do a case and axles or $800 more with strange axles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwroo 348 Posted February 23, 2016 I got everything I need axles, housing, lsd ect ect. I really just need to make my mind on wheels and go from there. Any good places to go to in Brisbane or Gold Coast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted February 23, 2016 word of advice is buy and fit up your wheels first fit them under the car with some messurements you will know it will sit centre and you know how much to the MM what to take out of itcortinas there diffs are made off centre from the factory its not much but every mm counts when you want big wheels 1 xwroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwroo 348 Posted February 24, 2016 That's all im waiting on is my wheels, then ill go from there. I was just after some info on where to go and who to talk to about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted February 24, 2016 So your going to cut and re-spline the current axles to suit ? Altra9 in Geebung,I hear there not cheap but if you can't do it your self pay what it costs to be done right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwroo 348 Posted February 24, 2016 Yea that's the plan. Definitely not going to do it myself will be get it done by someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted February 25, 2016 Here at IolzFalcon, we have a tradition of slagging off any spammers that happen upon this otherwise righteous place. I felt it was my duty to do such, but alas, the original offending post was promptly removed by our diligent moderators, leaving my otherwise legitimate reply to these (self-fisting) goat-felchers instead looking like an unprovoked jibe at your otherwise fairly decent self xwroo. I do apologise... But has been entertaining nonetheless 3 2redrovers, MNTL.XD and xwroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
