well supra dude ur actually right, the car will beat our cars but its the driver that has to be able to use the car to its max capability! neways fords suck and skylines rock ps my dads got an M3 i think that would easily kick ur dads XR6 turbo with out even using 1st and 2nd gear haha

Its nice to see ur dad has turbo charged ford. Bout time ford realised what the japs have known for years on how to keep an engine light and still get good power out of it. But the fact is that no one here really cares how fast ur dads car is, i would be prepared to put my car on the line if you or him could keep up with me round Mt Glorious or somewhere similar if i felt like i had something to prove. If u have nothing better to do then to come on a forum and try and stir something or get a reaction u must lead a very boring life, maybe one day daddy will let u drive his car and then u'll have something better to do to fill ur time.

haha, it must be something like that.

newayz, back on topic, i hated my stocko rims, they were the first things to go. Umm i dont really know what else it could be, have u run it down the strip yet? how long u had the car? did u find it went better when u first hopped into it?

I havnt taken it on the 1/4 yet..

Ive had it for just over a yr and its always been like this, got it with 91km on the clock.

And yeah the only time i noticed any power increase was the night i installed my pod filter on a reallly cold night and took it for a spin that nite..

other than that i really didnt notice any real improvement over the cat back exhaust or filter.

thats wat i think anyway

unless im just paranoid :D

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
