updates.

got some 18 inch tremors off a mate

random pictures

exterior is pretty much done, interior is coming out to make way for a velour LTD interior also doing power windows and climate control.
car will be getting buffed in a month or so by a mate.

You need to clean the indicators, it's really letting the whole front down.

have fun with the buff dont burn your bars

ed's been in the shed lately ive just gatherd a few bits for it like a complete LTD interior (recaros will be stored and fixed up at a later date). other then that ive just tidied up the daily so it looks tidy again.

from this

to this

im 50/50 on the tail lights at the moment it gets a cut and polish tomorrow so ill see how it looks without faded paint. also the double sided tape is off the car now previous owner removed the side strips and badges with plans to respray it. i have also taken the cut springs out of it and put standards in it was to bouncy and way to low i dont know how the previous owner drove it bouncing around like it did :-P

bit mores been happening.

firstly i installed some au injectors into the ed and took it for its first drive on the weekend.

the xf got buffed on saturday and come up really well.

the front gaurd and bonnet get wet sanded and buffed this weekend, xr6 gets wet sanded and buffed next weekend.

finally i resprayed the black along the sills and front gaurds on the XF

then dragged my magnums out of the shed and put them on bit of a waste having them sitting around they have near new tyres on them.

I got AU injectors in my motor, they're supposed to spray better than the standard ones but I think they've made my car run a little rich :/

they flow alittle more aswell i think, how long have you had them in ecu should correct it mine seems ok altho i only drove it for 5 mins i need to fix the inner gaurd plastics.

by **Customxg** » June 6th, 2011, 8:56 pm

I'm running au injectors in my xg and mine runs abit rich but I think I need to play around with the timing but on the other hand I did notice a difference I found it ran better

i had mine idling for about 20 minutes half hour after i put them in, but i only drove it for 5 mins so it could be running rich, I also noticed mine ran better.

today i found some motorvation to work on the XR6 and got it finished....finally

firstly there was over spray in the rear wheel arches so off came the wheels and i cleaned them up and gave them a spray

then i fixed the front inner gaurds so they dont rub anymore and finished up putting in the boot plastics and rear seat (no pics)
then gave it a wash as it was coverd in dust

finally i gave the lip on the 18s a polish up

all done now and ready to go for a drive. tomorrow the gaurd and bonnet on the xf get wet sanded and buffed then next weekend the ed gets wet sanded and buffed.

by **NUT347** » June 11th, 2011, 11:36 am

been doing abit to both cars.

my mate buffed the ed a few weeks ago it didnt come out to good after mucking around wet sanded burns out of the clear and fixing a few blemishes i have got it about as good as it will get.

little project underway

trying to sell my magnums and hotwires so ive put the 18s on the xf

the XF
extractors

2.5inch exhaust ending with a 3inch angle cut tip

on 18s

engine bay

by **5sp ef** » September 15th, 2011, 5:33 pm

its been quite a while since ive updated here.

we will start with the XR6.

i didnt continue with the rear bar graft it was to low and scraped on everything so i got a ea rear bar for free and chucked it on and drove it for a while.

then i chucked the tremors back on

i then went to moonah mufflers and bought a 2.5inch cat back no resinators and 1 straight through muffler and it sounds stock and its very quite :glare:

i fitted the front section at home then fitted the tail pipe at my brother inlaws work took a few trys to get the car on the hoist

also he welded on the 3 inch dump tip i bought its abit crooked but ohwell

i then got sick of looking at the rear bar so pulled it off and did some repairs

then i high filled it and rubbed it back so it was smooth

primed and wet rubbed with 1500 it was ready for paint

i also got a large pwr trans cooler off a mate ive got as far as mounting it

i then sprayed the rear bar and fitted it to the car

i also fitted new speakers and ran new wiring for them i have no photos of this.
and lastly i touched up a few bits of paint in the bay and cleaned the rocker cover with degreeser

cleaned over spray off the build plates

and took off the exhaust heat sheild and cleaned it up

then xf hasnt changed to much apart from the dash now black to match the door trims

and a redline torker manifold and a 350 holley

and finished just have to finish tuning it

i also replaced all the hoses welsh plugs and gave it a service

and on gumtree last week i found this for $35 who could say no

rocker cover looks brand new! :grin:

, its strange that you say the exhaust sounds like standard, most people on here run a 2.5" system with 1 muffler and they defintely dont sound stock, and when I got my car I had the same system you have on it and it def didnt sound stock
