What else is done to it?

by **Fat Rat** » March 10th, 2011, 6:49 pm

Any more plans for engine mods? Rear suspension?

Looking good tho!

by **whiteman_65800** » March 10th, 2011, 7:05 pm

it has rear pedders sportsrider shocks with cut kingspring tow springs. dono about the front but will have to be changed at some piont. im getting a head done for it atm and where hopeing to get 280 at the fly wheel. should be ready in the next few days. i pit a minispool in it but i dono how long that will last till i blow it. changed the dif ratio to 3.45 and took over 150 kg of weight out of it... dono what to do with the door trims yet... still want it to look respestable

What ecu/fuel are you using?

Clutch?

by **whiteman_65800** » March 10th, 2011, 7:29 pm

standard computer atm but will have to get updated when i can afford it. the cam in putting in will run with that comp but not at its best. hi octane fuel is what i run in it and im planning on running methnoal for the dargs. our mate next door builds racecars and usto run methonal through a supercharged combi engine. he dont seem to think its that hard to convert. when the manual went in they put a h/d xr6 clutch.

I'd suggest you do lots of reading before doing anything.

my heavy duty clutch was awsome while my car was relatively standard, running up the first power run on the dyno after adding the turbo shredded the clutch immediatly once 1-2 pounds of boost came on, it was like it was free reving with the clutch disengaged although with the carnage of black clutch smoke filling the tuners workshop.

these so called heavy duty clutches suck.

by **iCER** » March 10th, 2011, 8:01 pm

full 10" slicks with 280fwkw? Im also gathering you will be adding a turbo to get 280rwfw somewhere?

man that is gonna bog you down so bad. GL with your venture

by **EFFalcon** » March 10th, 2011, 8:08 pm

what kind of racing are you looking to do?

drag slicks on the back, semi's on the front?

by **NUT347** » March 10th, 2011, 8:08 pm

For once... It probably will never happen again... Ever.

Icer is right :scratch:

by **EFFalcon** » March 10th, 2011, 8:20 pm

got ur own hoist?

by **ed40** » March 11th, 2011, 10:11 am

280hp i'd say.
Car looks hot!

Dunno about using it for drags and circuit though.. choose one! (circuit)

by **whiteman_65800** » March 11th, 2011, 3:31 pm

in regards with the 280kw thats what the builder tolled me he can get out of a na 4l. he builds most of the engines for saloon cars and races in the series. i have put it on the drag track before i started working on it with the slicks on and it dont go to bad. i end up getting 9.48 on a 8th mile. we also have a set of 2.5" wide front runners im also going to do teark days and hillclimbs. been raceing for a while in our xw gt but got a bit hard to race cos the there getting a bit rear. the hoist is the best thing we have ever got!!!! easy to fix things when they break.

134 mhp 10.3 sec. but that was on a 1/4 mile

by **bentls** » March 11th, 2011, 5:10 pm

no i was meaning to all the people saying pick strip or track ... can be good in both

by **ed40** » March 11th, 2011, 6:54 pm

yeah can and can you imagine how much faster it would be with a proper drag setup

by **XR_Lightning** » March 11th, 2011, 7:30 pm

still pretty good for a car thats not setup to go in a straight line, and isnt that time pretty on par with the power output??

by **bentls** » March 12th, 2011, 12:40 am

650Hp and 1450kg aren't they??

So you've grabbed the drag and track day rims off your old mans XW and taken some pics of them on your first car...

by **iCER** » March 12th, 2011, 3:15 pm

by **whiteman_65800** » March 16th, 2011, 4:24 pm

update!!!!

funnished getting all the body deadner outthe boot and of the floor (27kg) and all painted

also stuffed around with the center console... dono weather ill keep it like that or what yet

still dono what i want to do with the door trims. thinkin of putting stainless sheeting on it or weather to just leave the trims on.
looks a bit pox with nothing covering them...

by **BLKPHN** » March 17th, 2011, 8:16 pm

Take out the center console it looks much better IMO.

by **whiteman_65800** » March 17th, 2011, 8:46 pm

that does look mint. I did that in my xf ute when i put the bench seat in it. i dont want to put carpet in the ed and need somewhere to put the switches.

by **BLKPHN** » March 17th, 2011, 9:37 pm

well if you not going to be running AIR-CON just put them in that area.

by **EFFalcon** » March 18th, 2011, 8:17 am

what'd u use to get the sound deadener off?

by **TWR40T** » March 18th, 2011, 3:27 pm

diesel works well on under carridges but i dunno about the inside...i think the smell wouldnt be the best.

by **EFFalcon** » March 18th, 2011, 3:28 pm

I've seen it done with dry ice a number of times.

by **TWR40T** » March 18th, 2011, 3:47 pm

yeh...never heard of that one.
its a messy job though.

by **nothin suss** » March 18th, 2011, 4:05 pm

Wait for a colder day an most makes of cars' deadener will chip off.
Or heat gun/scraper. Nice and fumey!

by **whiteman_65800** » March 18th, 2011, 5:02 pm

just used a heat gun and a lot of time. Then got the rest of with industrial wax remover. Not the best job to do but looks better!

by **EFFalcon** » March 18th, 2011, 8:24 pm

dry ice makes it come off in chunks quite easy.
seen videos of it.

by **holmsy** » March 18th, 2011, 8:30 pm

why put stainless on the doors?
would weigh more then door trims.
