[quote="NL_CONCORDE" im now thinkin of
selling the ltd buying a cheap daily taking the lane off gas and get some form of forced induction[/quote]

maybe keep the LTD & sell the 'lane as the 'lane has given you more problems ?

glad to hear man....!!

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 13th, 2010, 11:06 pm

Just so you know our new cheap daily is a rolla ke55 pick it up next weekend it only has 132,000k's on the clock
1.3 Litre 3 speed auto now to get it reg'd and finally save money n pay my debts
wont mod it as its pretty much all original no welded diff for this one
so there you have it new cheap daily and it will be more reliable than the lane :yahoo:

by **SLY5LT** » June 14th, 2010, 1:56 am

nice work joel :good:

NL_CONCORDE wrote:so there you have it new cheap daily and it will be more reliable than the lane

depends on how you drive it :lol:

by **EBOOST** » June 14th, 2010, 9:43 am

nah iuts a toyota doesnt matter how u treat it they love it lol.
i think having 3 regos and insurance's would get to expensive for me on 1 wage but if u can afford it then go for it.
ur concorde is nice tho man i was with grechie at calder last time and i liked it.
goes well for a fairlane aswell.
good luck with the next engine mate.
cheers josh.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 19th, 2010, 11:12 am

thanks josh and the rolla is my other 1/2's and she has consession so its good
be cheap n reliable as for the lane think i found a el engine with 164,000k's
so be lookin into that in the coming weeks and gettin the lane running and respect it
but plan to do a complete rebuild on the matching numbers engine

by **SLY5LT** » July 10th, 2010, 2:25 pm

LTD seems to be runnin fine just coolant sensor and heater tap need replacing
Fitted x-series 14 inch wheels on the rear last night for no particular reason runs at 15.4l/100km's
i know the LTD will run 15.9 at the track its very smooth through rev range wanting a tezza shift kit though
and is dwell another term for timing?

by **huggiebear** » July 10th, 2010, 7:38 pm

you got 14's on the back? i thought EF onwards have the ridges on the calipers stopping the 14's from fitting, my old EL wagon and my gf's dads EF wagon both have that issue...

Always heard bout that but never had this issue and had the wheels approx 2yrs now.
these wheels been on both the lane and now ltd and havnt had a problem..
there actually stamped fomoco not ford it means the same though just pre80's i reckon.
bottom line is they smoke without an issue.
only issue i had last nite was goin through the windies near dromana in the ltd.
80km/h bumpy road riding on ultra lows exhaust scrapes and sparks.
love cruisin down that road.

LTD-Puttin 6cyl kings ultra lows in the rear hope it gives it the slammed look
n fit up the ltd rims again
i'll put up pics after i fitted the springs

As for the lane rippin it off gas taking out the towpack droppin in the au motor when the sump returns
puttin a factory system back on and thats bout it for now..
hope to have it back out on the 25th july no track for a lil while

by **NL_CONCORDE** » July 19th, 2010, 10:16 pm

When i pulled the lane engine down and then discovered what my issue was...with engine#2

As for the LTD was told by previous owner it has super lows all round bout 1 year ago
well i think someone was talking sh!t as i pulled out rear lows
so NOW it has super lows all round and this is how it looks now(Before n After)

by **KR1STO** » July 19th, 2010, 10:22 pm

love the AFTER shot...
Looks great man!!

by **NL_CONCORDE** » July 19th, 2010, 10:31 pm

yeah it rides better also
Thanks Seany n Pete for the suggestion
It was a matter of getting the motorvation as i had the springs to fit in the lane
but thought the LTD hasnt let me down so i'll dump it instead needed it too :drinks2:
