camo_78 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 well,this is the XF i pulled out of a paddock a few months ago.dereg,had been sitting in a paddock for 4 years not running.hook battery up along with jumper cables,hello 4.1 springing into life.this is it as picked up on the trailer,yours truly in the background behind the black pathfinder. had a few "aftermarket modifications" anywho,got it home(towed it from dunsandel to chch) gave it a waterblast the next day(mid blast here) anyway,this brings us up to the past week,in which time ive decided to take it out for a skid comp on the 7th of april.so far the bits that cant be seen that ive modded are: extra throttle return springs locked diff(2.77:1 ratio,aka shit for skids) alloy battery clamp. and mods that can be seen............ note front bumper is just sitting there for now. so,to summarise: GOOD POINTS: mint running 4.1 carby 6 smooth shifting auto 4 mint tyres(have shitty s5 rx7 rims to burn out) everything electric works,including electric windows!! interior is tidy minus carpet from the "Aftermarket mods" and a hole in drivers seat IT WAS FREE BAD POINTS: RUST,and a lot of it.bottom of both front and rear windscreens,both a pillars around hinges,drivers sill,bonnet,r/f guard,r/r guard,bootlid,bottom corner of l/h C pillar. deregistered carpet is fooked. so,feel free to hurl abuse/suggestions/replace with a camry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Awesome. Cam, Ogre, and I talked out our arses saying we'd do exactly this for years. Fucked XF in a burnout comp. Glad to see it happen. Skid pics asap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 yup,its about all its good for at the moment,lmao.for those that are interested,the springs have lost 4 coils per front,and 3 per rear,resulting in 145mm lowering job,lmfao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NZford Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sweet project, I remember going to Auto X? (in the league staudium near the Westpac center) and the had a few XF skid cars unfourtunatley they seemed to struggle to get any type of decent wheel speed going. So my suggestion would be EB - ED 4.0 with a centre point injection manifold and adaptor to run a Holley carb. I think the only bad part about that is you got to buy an aftermarket dizzy the rest should bolt in and give a decent power hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest camo_78 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 i was at autoX,i was the crazy bastard in the little black and camo van on modgies.and unfortunately this project is dead,skid comp got cancelled so this will be getting stripped and taken to the scrappy .however,all is not lost,it will live again,albeit in a different body .and have you got a picture of such a setup??may be the go when the new project springs into life with this motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NZford Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Do they still do autoX? Must of been 5 years ago I went. Umm some info and pics here..... proably more hassle than its worth get an EB - ED and skid that lol http://www.xfalcon.c...-carb-manifold/ That xfalcon site is real good for anything older falcon related Edit pruuttty http://www.aussiespeed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
