Hi all,

I have for sale our Ford EF XR8. We have had the car for a bit over a year now and was bought mainly for towing my car.

However since we bought it I have only used it once for towing and really have no need for the car anymore (having 4 cars already)

So here is the run down:

FORD EF 1996 XR8 AUTO

White

203,000kms

12 months rego

4 new tyres

New front and rear slotted rotors

New front pads

CD

Air

Power front windows

Power mirrors

Tow bar

Aftermarket headers

Twin stainless exhaust

Since we bought it the following has been replaced in services:

Top rad hose

New leads

Plugs

Battery

Rotor button

Ignition module

CAS

Fuel filter

Also had the front bar professionally repainted.

Has a minor scratch and a slight ding above the rear wheels arch but the paint is in very good condition for its age.

The gearbox looks to have been re-done at one stage by the previous owner as it is remarkably clean.

There is one slight bad point, when cold it will sometimes take a bit to engage 1st but happens only once then it's fine.

Price is $5500 ono.

Pics up soon but interested people can send me a PM for quicker pics.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
