The dash I am gathering you mean. As the seats are good and simple too.

Post by **ELXR_96** » January 19th, 2011, 7:43 am

Yeah the dash sorry the seats are nice

Interesting about the ECU comments. I wonder if it was using a Ford ECU & controlling the cams properly that it got that power. The Wolf wouldn't be able to control the phasers right?

It says he's the orginal owner... Didn't it change hands like 3 times?

Post by **EFFalcon** » January 19th, 2011, 1:30 pm

I would buy it if it had standard XR front bar, black dash but it looked really good when it was purple..........................

After all that money and it has a top loader........................

To match that colour would be super hard as it's the orange from the focus and has other pearls in it, then do the dash, then take out the crappy top loader and put either a C4 or tremec, replace ecu so the car will owe me 10k on top of the asking price..................

Everything is so easy 2 u but when u add the cost and TIME it's not worth it and rather buy a property and make money then use equity to buy a car

and thats what im doing....................

Spent big money on a EF XR8 stroker been there done that and know what it costs & TIME to build a solid car............................

any half decent panel beater should be able to match the colour without too much trouble... And why would you change the ECU when it
seems to be doing a fine job as it is? Understandable that building a decent car takes much money and effort though that Im well
aware of....

Once i find another XF/EL XR8 with under 100,000kms in immaculate condition ill be building a Dart block engine but this time i would use TFS heads, different intake and CUSTOM cam to tie it all together

The manifold was restricting it, 4000rpm converter and had a tuning issue.......................

U look at the hp it made but did u look at what torque it made

Also its only 10.1 comp and not a big camshaft as well as it was a street engine

for a street car it was a fun engine and did 150meter power skid's easy chopping 265/30/19 but with bait of changes it would made another 40-60hp

Next engine is a 363ci solid roller and chasing 600hp flywheel but abit scared of that power on the street.......

71GLIF · Post by **71GLIF** » January 26th, 2011, 5:00 pm

you paying someone to build it for you?

mickyyyy · Post by **mickyyyy** » January 26th, 2011, 5:34 pm

Yeh either my mate who is a machinist/engine builder if I want it quicker or get engine builder in the US to do it all and on the engine dyno............ But a six month wait on engine...........

My mate said I can put it together and he will check clearances but I don't want to risk it on a big dollar engine

Fark thats cheap!

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » January 26th, 2011, 7:07 pm

yeah i reckon its getting close to a bloody good price...

you would be struggling hard to build it for that, unless you could do a lot of it yourself.

Michael (HYPOEB) · Post by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » January 26th, 2011, 7:15 pm

Wouldnt even come close to building it for that price imo. Wheels and engine is already 20k!
Didnt he say hes spent over 100k?

Post by **EFFalcon** » January 26th, 2011, 7:22 pm

most cars you couldn't build yourself for that price..

but yeah, 21k is starting to get pretty reasonable.

Dansedgli · Post by **Dansedgli** » January 26th, 2011, 7:26 pm

Its shiny but $21k is F6 money these days. :S

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » January 26th, 2011, 7:27 pm

if only it was a collectable model, im looking at spending up to 20k on a car maybe halfway through the year, but because im borrowing the money im only going to be looking at something that will either hold its value or gain in value.

71GLIF · Post by **71GLIF** » January 26th, 2011, 7:46 pm

didn't sell which is a shame cos theres heaps of good gear on it.

mickyyyy · Post by **mickyyyy** » January 26th, 2011, 9:02 pm

Are the door molds a glue on for EF/EL's????

If he does another price drop it might be worth all the trouble to get it how i want............................

Post by **EFFalcon** » January 27th, 2011, 7:56 am

door moulds are just double sided tape on.

Post by **TUFED6** » January 27th, 2011, 1:43 pm

Getting to the point where it would be better to part it out?

$5k rolling (on stockies) shell
$2k wheels
$5k bare long motor
$2k turbo and ex manifold
$1k plenum & fuel system
$2k toploader & clutch
$1k ecu
$1k interior
$1k stereo

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » January 27th, 2011, 1:52 pm

now that would be a shame
