sorry which one of yr cars is svslow? is it the 5 litre or the 6 cylinder motor?

by **SnipeZ** » November 25th, 2012, 5:25 pm

I'd say it would be the svo SVslOw

Cheers

by **89.SVO** » November 25th, 2012, 5:32 pm

what SnipeZ said lol

by **DJV8T5** » November 26th, 2012, 12:05 pm

These diffs don't seem to have longevity in stock form, and the LSD centres don't like too much spirited acceleration either.

Not a bad time for the SVO down the quarter, pretty close to what they are supposed to do out of the factory. What diff ratio did these have from factory 3.27 or 3.45?

by **89.SVO** » November 26th, 2012, 12:29 pm

3.23 i think it is. Not entirely sure. I let the diff cool down and the noise is gone lol. Spider gears must've got a bit warm lol.

by **DJV8T5** » November 26th, 2012, 4:29 pm

Not the most enticing sounds they make. Hopefully it doesn't let go too soon.

same here. needs to last til after Christmas

by **89.SVO** » January 3rd, 2013, 6:31 am

Right, sold the LTD last night for $8250. So now i have bulk moneys to buy a shitter daily, had my eye on a dual fuel, manual XG ute. And now i can get serious with the SVO. Going to keep the 3.23 diff gears, just gunna put a full spool and a later style tail shaft flange, and assorted bits to get her converted to manual and turbo'd

by **SnipeZ** » January 3rd, 2013, 6:48 am

But a small 4cyl
You'll have a prick of a time with the xg
Upgrade not downgrade

Cheers

by **Dansedgli** » January 3rd, 2013, 6:51 am

Xg's are good if you miss driving an XF around.

You should be able to get a BA ute for under $5k these days.

[MADXG6] plates would go well with it.

by **NUT347** » January 3rd, 2013, 9:28 am

$8250 for that LTD?

Good effort!

by **EBOOST** » January 3rd, 2013, 9:50 am

That's 2 cars you've sold for what I consider ridiculous money haha.
I paid under half that for my au lol.

**** me youre good at ripping **** off haha

by **h3ndo** » January 3rd, 2013, 11:42 am

gotta funny feeling ive seen this before....

by **89.SVO** » January 3rd, 2013, 11:58 am

Ripping off? Nope.

I need a ute. A ute on gas would be good. I love my cheap to run daily drivers.
Plus i found a manual XG. So i can still skid it if i want lol.

The issue i have is. Buy a neat daily. Then i mod it. Taking funds from the SVO. So buy a shitter i don't care about. More money for SVO. I've been saying for year that i'm gunna boost it. So now is that time.

Nothing wrong with getting good money for cars.. everyone on this site just expects to pay nothing for an E-Series

I didn't say there was.
$8k will buy you BA & BF Falcons though.

by **thebeast.** » January 3rd, 2013, 6:16 pm

Nice work on the sale

cheers. I just got the right buyer. Both times.

And for those that are uninformed. EA SVO come in two bases. S-pac and Fairmont Ghia. This is a Ghia base. Hence the climate, digi dash etc. If you doubt it's authenticity, It was at C4C and will be at AFD. Come look for your self.

by **nstg8a** » January 3rd, 2013, 7:20 pm : **h3ndo Likes this post**

How would you tell a faker from the real one?

Ie a ghia with all the svo stuff fitted?

Standard, high k, run down BA/BF yeah. You could easily spend $8k doing the mods that the LTD had done, I spent a few grand on just 5L engine parts.

Who cares if he sold his car for good money, wouldn't we all love to do the same if it came time to sell?

by **misk** » January 3rd, 2013, 8:15 pm

Sif, $1500 will buy you a fun down ba.
$8k would buy you a nice ghia or xr6 if you shop right.

$1500 for an ex taxi maybe, 8k might get you a high k half looked after Ghia or xr6,
I'd buy a duel fuel au ute, cheap to run, too ugly to mod, parts are still cheap and plentiful
Good money for the ltd either way, guess you don't want this diff now

haha
