And the second defect in 5 months for the same thing too low, he asked about the airbox and wanted to know why I had it haha and asked how i see who much coolant i have and if it's turbo'd didn't pick the wheels but asked if the were of a new ford? didnt get the spacers or exhaust so I think I got off light

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 16th, 2013, 9:18 pm

Would of been a good photo I reckon green fg xr6t pulling up the green el xr6

Sucks about the canary mate, but your car looks so damned mint with those wheels on it. Hopefully you will get it cleared easy enough. I fail to see how a low car is a danger to other motorists, but you get that.

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 17th, 2013, 10:07 am

Only a minor so just lift it up and get it cleared at vic roads

Post by **TUFED6** » April 17th, 2013, 10:38 am

Damn the stock brakes look tiny in there

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 17th, 2013, 1:05 pm

Yeah I want to get big brakes and change the offset so I don't need spacers

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » April 17th, 2013, 1:49 pm

How much too low is it? Looks mint at that height.

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 17th, 2013, 5:47 pm

20-30mm on exhaust and about 10mm on k frame

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 17th, 2013, 8:38 pm

It's easy enough to put standard springs in the rear front will be abit more annoying haha

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 25th, 2013, 10:22 pm

Nah man only on hard bumps under acceleration and that's not even much starts to do it when I get more then 1 person in the back more often though,
Depends what I have the konis set on too

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 25th, 2013, 10:28 pm

Chasing a front end knock in this thing lately pretty sure its the rack so ill swap that out soon.
Also changed the rear lower control arms, put a new rocker cover gasket, steering intermediate shaft, power steering pump, throttle cable, cruise cable, cruise module, brake pressure switch
That's as I cleared the defect lol
Then I chopped 1 1/2 coils off the stock springs so next time its not so bad haha

staunchxr wrote:ahh well thats alright least yours is good lol. how come you changed the rear control arms? what setting are yours on right up the front or towards the back? going to get new shocks for mine i reckon thats the problem funny i was cutting springs today aswell lol

Just changed the lower one man pretty sure the upper control arm is all the way to the back. Put an aftermarket nolathane lower control arm in meant to be better then stock

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 25th, 2013, 10:58 pm

Think that's where standard are? Xrs have different control arms I'm lead to believe

XHBrad · Post by **XHBrad** » April 29th, 2013, 5:55 pm

Cars looking mint, height looks great. How do you find the ride and handling with the kings cut in the rear?? Does it get a bounce up like cut standard springs or do the konis make up for it?? I wanna chop my SSLs the guard is sitting too far off the FTRs haha

Thanks mate handles fairly good although I don't push it very hard, no bounce in the rear at all even with the konis set to the softest setting they are still pretty firm it's pretty bouncy ATM with the cut standard springs and shocks In it the cops are still blitzing up here so they are in it because its still over 100mm so I won't get defected again

XHBrad · Post by **XHBrad** » April 30th, 2013, 4:33 pm

Cheers for that.. I'll give the springs a trim and wind the konis up a bit and should be sweet..

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 30th, 2013, 5:22 pm

There is f all cut off the ssl's though maybe 1/4 - 1/2 of a coil

OK Cheers for that, ill just cut a little at a time and see how it looks. and hopefully don't get measured up for a while..

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 30th, 2013, 8:35 pm

Lol I got these springs like this I had another set that weren't cut but sold them

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 7th, 2013, 3:10 pm

Moved the relays under the guard last night heaps of room in the bay now, will cut the battery tray down tonite

Played around with a photo edit app and thought this looked cool

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 7th, 2013, 7:13 pm

Heaps of room with everything moved

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » May 7th, 2013, 7:24 pm

Only trouble with hiding the wiring on e series is it shows of how goddamn ugly the shock towers are...

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 7th, 2013, 7:28 pm

Lol yeah they aren't the best looking tower but I'd prefer the tower then messy wires and old yellow coolant reservoir

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 13th, 2013, 6:43 pm

Cut the bracket out and made up a bracket to secure the battery

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » June 9th, 2013, 4:31 am

So I sold this and brought an 02 au ute ute's more practical for me ATM here she is it's an opt 20 (ex cop) has 406,xxxks but reco motor and box,has an lsd, interior is clean as 3 seater column auto, passenger airbag, came lowered but ill be putting standard suspension back in, probably put some 16" stockies on it aswell, has 5 months rego, standard tail lights will be in it aswell, drives so much smoother then then the el too. Will be converting it to LPG aswell

justa6 · Post by **justa6** » June 9th, 2013, 7:16 am

Looks nice. What are you planning on doing with it? It sits real nice and looks smick on those wheels.

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » June 9th, 2013, 7:54 am

Nothing man just want to use it as a daily and I want to save for a f6 so this is practical if I want to wreck more cars or buy a few repairable write offs and fix and I can tow my boat and take it to the river
