Looked good at Pier 35 a few weeks ago. DFs are the best looking LWB IMO.

joel,
any update's on the new engine/tranny combo for the concorde ?

by **BROCKYB8** » September 8th, 2009, 8:41 am

i think a build thread or showroom thread should be made rather than here mate.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » September 11th, 2009, 10:00 pm

will make a build thread soon for the lane and later for the LTD :drinks2:

Other Mod's to come will be gt40p heads bigger maf/throttle body better intake so au top end n few other goodies

LTD needs some balls unlike the previous owner of the car lol :eek:

by **pHaT`eL** » December 31st, 2009, 1:45 pm

Twins dumped before the diff is the way to go.. Not droney like everyone seems to think.

by **LOW_XR** » December 31st, 2009, 2:00 pm

by **pHaT`eL** » December 31st, 2009, 2:02 pm

Id get a pic up on the exhaust, but I cbf jacking it up to see it, lol.

Twin 2.5" pipes, muffler on each side, dumpers facing towards the outside of the car. Sounds good all the time, lol..

by **LOW_XR** » December 31st, 2009, 2:07 pm

HMMM thinkin i'll arrange a weekend with kev for system to be done then
and dylan hope to see your ute at the next meet

Hate being out of the scene guess that'll happen when you wait and wait for a car that is still sitting at the workshop
nearly 3 months after it went there has a miss from 3,000rpm-4,500rpm in 2nd when it was last in my hands

So ive decided to do work to the LTD till i get the lane back
also been thinking of finding a manual setup out of a xr8 to put in behind the 5 litre in the ltd
and better diff gears than 3.23
Just wanna setup the ltd to take off harder and have an overall better power range than some ba xr6t's
theres a few other things ive had in mind also but want a sleeper

by **pHaT`eL** » December 31st, 2009, 2:59 pm

I bought it off holmsy, and Kev modified it

Any exhaust joint should be able to make one up for ya pretty cheap.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » December 31st, 2009, 3:12 pm

Too easy thanks mate

by **SLY5LT** » December 31st, 2009, 5:26 pm

dumped at the diff system would cost f#%k all, pretty much straight pipe's....
would just depend if you go after market muffler's, or generic.

before you do your exhaust, think of what your doing (engine wise) down the track

you don't want to have to do it all again in 6 mths time

SLY5LT wrote:before you do your exhaust, think of what your doing (engine wise) down the track

Thanks Steve well i picked up the nl last nite from kev's gee this lane has a mind of its own...
Yeah the nl smokes those 235/60/16s tyres in 1st n 2nd without hesitation now

And for the DF its starting to have power its amazing what the right system can do

NL & LTD should be at dyno this week

Big Thanks to Kev for putting up and throwing back whatever the lane would throw at him problem wise

Think i know where im taking my car's from now

by **BROCKYB8** » February 2nd, 2010, 12:46 pm

by **Schmee** » February 2nd, 2010, 12:51 pm

by **EFFalcon** » February 2nd, 2010, 12:57 pm
