I was more wondering why they are on the utes but not on the sedan. I will google and figure it out though. Guessing the sedan one must be in the rear body and somewhere that cannot be installed into a ute.

At the same time will get Atomic timing chain, guides, HD pivot & crank sprocket as/if required Likely get new harmonic balancer also. Modelled up the surge tank on Solidworks; I'm lazier/smarter/time-poor these days so will get all the parts laser cut in 5083 marine grade ally.

End goal is to have something I can flog and not have my sphincter tighten like a vice every time I bump the limiter You've got an auto so pump gears isn't such a big deal Plus I vaguely recall reading on here you drive like an old woman on the street... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89565-08-fg-xr6t-ute/page/7/#findComment-1611567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks way more purposeful, or at least the back end does, front looks a bit ridiculous now, hopefully it's not too long before I get a chance to get the new springs / shocks / bushes in. Filled the truetrac with some penrite 80W-90 mineral and it was good to go. The feel of a tight driveline is sooo good when you've been putting up with massive lash for a few months on end. Feels really planted in the back end now, much firmer but in a positive way. Makes the front end feel even more wallowy, but that will all change. Just had time to take it for a quick rap around the street, before we went away for the weekend but yes there was time for some 3rd gear roll on tomfoolery and man it is so stable! Two black lines in the rear view mirror (no pics yet) and yeh I could've steered with my pinkie. With the lower springs I was gingerly waiting for tramp but all good so far. Should’ve taken some side by side pics with the std leaves, the kings are 6 packs high compared to 4 std which wouldn't hurt.

Or similar to a new gearset? I still have lifetime warranty and 24/7 roadside assist from you right..what's a teeny tiny little chirp between friends right!?!??
