RT Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Nice Falc's man. Need the 8 though! for sure. um, what was i gonna say... oh torque converters just pull off. Unbolt the 4 bolts to the flex plate and then just pull it out from the autobox. It will be full of trans fluid so it might spill some. It has a series of intermeshing gears that you can feel. But it just pulls out super easy. reverse procedure is the same, you don't need to fill it up with trans fluid because the pump will fill it when you start teh engine. You just need to make sure you push it all the way on and rotate it so you can feel the gears mesh in. Quote
Leebo3 Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Oh sweet thanks. What should i think about getting my stall rpm of my converter rebuilt too? A guy told me if you have the $$ go 2000-2500 cos its good for town driving but if you want to pop a skid just give the throttle a blat and yeah. Quote
RT Posted September 25, 2007 Author Posted September 25, 2007 yeah you can get the standard converter rebuilt to a max of 2200rpm which is good for street use, for around $300 Otherwise you will have to buy a converter at a set stall for about $500 Don't go too high for street. 2200rpm-2500rpm is good. standard is about 1800rpm.

NewGuy Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Use KUMCLEAN From Placemakers, comes in the bottles like Fuellite etc. You just pour it on the oil leave it for 5 mins and then wash it away with a hose, turns this white color so it lives up to its name and you really can come clean. Try it. Car looks mint also! Quote
kyteler Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Mean boe, will be awse with the dirty 8 in it. Quote
rot808 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 oh this be mean, i especially enjoy the stripe, ps do a phat skid bey Quote
Leebo3 Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks boes, it looks way better with the stripe aye, just makes it look more os. Quote
xafordgod Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Good to hear that cert wasnt so bad after all mate. What ya reckon of this xa wag mate. Was at car show over the weekend. Cheers, Brendon Quote
johnnyfive Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I kinda like star wheel things. What else did you have in mind? Quote
V8Pete Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I kinda like star wheel things. What else did you have in mind? +1 So tough. Quote
Leebo3 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I do like these ones, dont think i would colour code them though, if i did they would be black I saw that wagon in street machine a while ago brendon, emailed him a few times about it, says that every bolt was replaced during the rebuild, so sounds pretty serious. Has a 5 litre HO engine doesnt it? Quote
xafordgod Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I have underside shots of that ute and you can eat your tea off it. The name Cameron Manewell at aussiexports springs to mind with that ute. That wagon isnt a ho motor. Its a 5litre injected out of a mid 90s fairmont. The wagon is from ashburton way. Its pretty cool. Hes grafted the 90s fairmont centre console and shifter into it. The wag is a ex hearse. I had a 2-way taildoor setup here off a xb fairmont wagon I have that would have looked good on your wag. Your xa is looking great mate. Cheers, Brendon Quote
xafordgod Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Oh yea, the wheels on the ute are XY GT 5 slots. Hard and expensive to come by. Cheers, Brendon Quote
Leebo3 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 ROH are doing a repo of 5 slots arent they? Still not cheap i guess though to just get centres sent over. K33n for matty b and blower out the bonnet/not really sorry. Maybe another car. Quote
Guest sexychevette Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 geh 12 slots matty B. Slam it. Massive blowa. Purple tints. PRIMO Quote

Sparkle Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 ^^nah dont like them. what could you get tridents in? Quote
Leebo3 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 It doesnt appear that they make tridents new, plus i would more than likely get kicked in the cunt for having them. Mite attack those steels i have this week, like 10 inch wide at the back? Touch and go if they would fit though. Quote
