3. How much does an extreme modification cost??
4. What fuel consumption can I expect with the HP jump??
5. Could my stock Sigma run 10's if i fit 3 catch cans??
Any help appetiated.

He,he,he.

Lovely!

Have moved interstate twice with work and havent been settled anywhere long enough with adequate garaging. The paint has been washed only, it really needs a polish but it should come up well.

MEAN XB COUPE answers to your questions
1. oil is distributed to exhaust to lube inside exhaust and blow by helps empty oil from sump for quick oil changes
2. hp only gained when revs above 10'000 rpm
3. Can do mods for you for about $6000
4. any fuel consumption gains are lost through leaking fuel pump
5. Possibly 9's
hope this helps

Number 4 is a killer!!!!!!!!!!

XRTickfordNZ · 10-04-2008, 05:52 PM

Not mine but a xa coupe that Ive just finished assembling. Came to me basically as a stripped shell painted.

And here it is ready to be delivered to get the rear wiring cleaned up. Talk about turning heads!

Cheers,

Brendon

Underneath the fibreglass its a 1974 burnt orange XB GT - now before anyone howls it was turned into a Mad Max Interceptor in America in 1999. I found it and saved it and now its back on Aussie soil.

"drivethru at Barnacle Bills"

"being unpacked after 10 weeks at sea"

"local red necks"

congratulations on the new purchase you certainly have a fine collection of cars in your possession,if you need to off load the landau at all you let me know.

good call hiring the security gaurd in the last photo, can never be to carefull.

Geez Louise · 10-04-2008, 09:02 PM

Would have loved to be at the drive-thru window when you rolled on through...That is gold!

Picked up a aussie assembled xc fairmont wagon over the weekend ( most falcons etc over here are NZ assembled )

The old fairmont coupe has just clicked over 80000 original miles.

Cheers,

Brendon

my girl again.

Geez Louise · 12-04-2008, 07:10 PM

That is nice. The back tyres look like they just fit! Black is a hard colour IMO as you can see every ripple...but yours looks great!

Motor, box and LSD will be fitted over the next few days. Got another coupe shell arriving as a spare soon plus Ive always got my fairmont and GT coupe to strip when I write off these shells....hehe

First to pics are as it was on trademe, didnt sell so we go dirt track racing.
Pics of it in primer where taken about 10mins ago.

Its going to be painted the same colour as our new business cards, red and blue.

Cheers,

Brendon

Plans have changed. Have just sold the primered to be racecar shell to someone that popped over yesterday so that one is going to get restored but the new shell arrived today so this is the new racecar shell. Pretty well knackared but will weld up ok for a racecar.

Masking tape hides rust well doesnt it...lol

Funnily enough, its a brother to my fairmont coupe. This is also a Ultra White Factory V8 xa coupe with burgandy interior like my good one. Shame they get to this condition compared with my unrestored fairmont.

Cheers,

Brendon

Hi engine is in car and running finally. stroked to 410 cubes,scat crank & rods,custom pistons,custom roller comp cam,mild port AFD alloy heads,funnelweb manifold (took a fair bit of massaging) bg carb. engine guy wants to computer port heads and up the hp but is a little concerned about block not handling it so waiting and preying for new clevo blocks(not that i can afford it any way)
cheers colin

Although I did have a few choice words when I found similar, but not quite as bad in mine.

Those Torq Thrusts are whats going on mine in the not-too distant future.. Same size too (17x8 17x11)
Been wanting a set for years, and have finally found an affordable source
