    BRAKE SHUDDER ISSUE

    To all the shudderers lol, when I had my BA I had pretty severe shuddering and I changed nearly every braking component, rotors, pads, fluids flushed and replaced, abs module etc etc. A mechanic mate of mine had a few customers experiencing the same problem and all he did which seemed to fix the problem was to back off the rod between the booster and the master cylinder a few turns. Might be worth a try as it costs you nothing and might save you a few pennys for your next mods , goodluck.
  2. I think these days to get it all engineered the only v8 allowed will be a 302. And I dont think a barra 6t will be a straight forward conversion lol
  3. Hey spinning no offence taken. But to answer some of your questions, As to tipping my money into a project for minimal return, do you really think throwing money at your XR will net you profit, I sold my XR for less then what I paid for it standard with all the modifications. I was also looking for a XW, XY rollers months before I sold it but but only found rust buckets or wankers wanting to much and heading into a wedding I simply couldnt afford it at the time, I found this cortina which I scored for $2k oh I have allready had people offer me $4k for it but you know. Another thing is that I am surrounded by mates in the automotive/fabrication business so for me to get work done would cost me alot less or next to nothing (supplying materials) then it would some one else. The enjoyment will come from the satisfaction of me knowing I built it myself.
  4. As promised pics are up: The beast... Well the better side of it anyway http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc504/Ldaddario/IMG_10511-1.jpg Black and white vinyl interior http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc504/Ldaddario/IMG_10521.jpg Dash http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc504/Ldaddario/IMG_10531.jpg 4 Banger http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc504/Ldaddario/IMG_10541.jpg I also got with my purchase another guard plus a 6 cyl bonnet with (has bludge).
  5. Your not thinking of Tocchi's Capri are you?
  6. Would be nice, I need to weigh up my options first. see how much wok is required in getting a barra motor into the corty or get a 351 for the noise factor but I hear its gotten heaps harder to get anything engineered these days.
  7. Hey guys, so after suffering my withdrawals from selling the XR T I have now moved on by buying a Ford Cortina TD XLE as a project car. It is purplish in colour, with black & white trim & hubcaps. The body requires abit of work with some rust in the usual spots but nothing major and is straight as. Should be picking it up one day this week so ill post up some pics when they come to hand. Leo
  8. I would have mate but I purchased a 2010 hiace as I am starting my own business
  9. OK so I sold my XR a few weeks ago now but have still kept in touch with the new owner. Since then he has installed a 4" dump pipe and got a retune, making 346rkw@18psi through the C4 and 3k convertor and STILL all on the standard bottom end. Unfortunately the car is up for sale again so im pretty devo. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-XR6-Turbo-Ulitimate-Sleeper-346-5rwkw-Street-Drag-/281011833616?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item416d9c4b10
  10. Well when I went to a C4 my car was making 347rwkw with a 4spd and 2700 convertor, put the C4 in the power went to 311rwkw with a 3000 convertor, never had any stall issues though, what brand convertor is it?
  11. hahaha I like your style, im thinking FPV next
  12. Hey guys, I unwillingly had to sell my XR a couple weeks ago and I cant help but miss it, after 3 1/2 long years from a stocker I transformed it into my 11sec street car. I just cant help but feel empty without it. Am I the only that felt this after they sold there XR, especially being the car ive kept the longest. Leo
  13. sweet, ive just been reading over a few threads and 18-15psi seems the way to go for the mt's is this true??
  14. Hey guys, just wondering who if anyone will be coming to the creek tomorrow night. I'll be taking mine for a long awaited strap with my new found power and also running MT street slicks, hoping to get deep in the 11s. Anyway I'll be the one with the blueprint BA plates your:70:EZ so come and say hello. Leo P.S what psi have people been running with their MT's??
  15. Tuff car mate. Its depressing when its time to sell after you have spent so much on them, you should put a manual surround over the shifter too . http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc504/Ldaddario/IMG_0363.jpg
  16. Happy Birthday XR64LT!

  17. Just another stocker, it died due to oil starvation. Not sure if it was on its way out or not though during its last tune but towards the end you knew it was rat sh*t.
  18. Hey guys, so today I finally got my car back up and running with my freshly rebuilt turbo installed along with braided oil line and I replaced my under battery cai with a 4" intake/airbox do you think I will need a tune or should it be fine. It was off the road for quite a few months too. Leo
  19. Hey guys just quickly, im after a few xy gt's for my wedding on the saturday 17th November 2012. At this stage cars will only be used to drive myself and the groomsman from a mates house (Marayong) to the church (Parramatta) but may be required afterwards to take the bridal party from church to photo shoot and then to the reception. Could take from 2 hours to 5. So if you or you know anyone that would be interested please let me know. Could also be xw's, xe's but xy's preferred. Im happy to pay for your time too. Leo
  20. yeahh man get that up ya FG boys
  21. Have you filled her up and tried? I only found this out when I took mine to wsid for the first time cause I figured less fuel = less weight but that nearly = a dead motor. And like you said it wasnt happening till nearly half track (2nd to 3rd). Leo
  22. I wonder if in sydney more united servo's will start selling E85, pretty dissapointing that theres only one united servo is selling the stuff. theres a caltex near by but if im to get a E85 tune im not driving 45mins to get it. A mates father-in-law has multiple drag/race cars so he takes his trailer full of drums and fills them all up from united and he loves it.
  23. just my thought but make sure u dont give it WOT with under a 1/4 tank of fuel, my car was surging once upon a time until I found out I didnt have enough fuel in the tank as the fuel gets pushed to the back of the tank leaving nothing to be sucked up by the pump, all good now since I have surge tank.
