It's a shame about the XR, but it has saved me plenty of money not having it! The lane has some rust starting to appear, but that will be taken care of in a few weeks, and I'm also tempted to give it a fresh lick of Argon Silver. It was a warm 13* as I left for work at 6am.....

On another note thought I'd post this link from CMS dyno day in Syd, not worried about figures but the noise is sweet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPj_HWt_y-o Everyone said figures were down but mine was up from 101 to 102 so I'll take anything at this point!

I failed to mention the front spring seats are on the highest setting, and the rear has 25mm of spring spacers, so it can comfortably come down another inch! Holey Moley!! I got super lows for mine, from memory it was around 50mm mark even front and rears, it looks pretty close to how yours sits, I'd guess with the spacers it has ultra lows in the rear (look for SSL or SSSL after the part number that's stamped on them). back on point, mine is borderline practical, even with heavy duty springs in the rear it hangs pretty low. But I'd love to see yours without the spacers  you should do it one weekend just for the hell of it and let us know how it feels, I have a feeling the spacers are to keep it off the bump stops though, cos I know mines pretty damn close! Or have you already had a peek up in there?

Or have you already had a peek up in there? It has a set of custom Pedders supers in the rear. the car sits at roughly 105mm with the spacers and fronts up high. The previous owner wants to know details on the spacers, as he needs another few for his Turbo ED, so they will have to come out at some point! {USERNAME} wrote: {USERNAME} wrote: {USERNAME} wrote: Very nice ride you have there mate......and welcome to the LWB club!

Just watched a few of those youtube vids Ross........looks like some big numbers were achieved. Would have loved to bring the Wagon down, I know what the Lane can do, but the wagon s**t on the Lane in the power stakes but hasn't been on a dyno yet! Do you think you would have got better figures on Petrol?

No not really, gas ring is still pretty restrictive, but, saying that I took this as about 110-115 kw comparatively to the other dyno going what everyone else reckoned so the stock HO 5.0 now with extractors and full 3" made a good difference IMO, if it hadn't been so busy evl098 had a std intake pipe I could've tried but there were so many cars esp. V8's! I was worried it was gonna drop down to double figures as it seemed a bit hard to get a result for anyone.

Yeah I was expecting better but, new dyno etc....still I don't care it goes ok, sounds great and is a fairlane so can't get much better - could've bought a Hyundai and spend 35 bucks a week on petrol, instead of driving the NF!

Only major difference between your donk and mine is the manifold's. Looks like you need to get ya hands on an explorer my friend Seems it's good for another 30-40kw

Mar55s, here is an LTD grille
http://shop.ebay.com.au/anche79/m.html? ... 4340.l2562 Probably a good price for one. Bit sad when half a kilo of plastic cost that though haha. I think its the same dude wrecking an NL Concorde on Boostedfalcon too. In other news, still got the NL here. Haven't done anything except put two tyres on the rear and throw a Pioneer deck in it. Kind of bored of it, I'm really dis-interested in it after I had the 5L NF. Thinking of changing the gold badges to Chrome ones, will keep the gold ones though. Also looking at painting the Concorde wheels Silver. I know its ruining the originality a bit, but they look hideous in gold! Plus I already pulled the Concorde striping and badges off.... Thoughts? Or should I just leave it original and get another 5L? |

I just got my 5L Ghia rego'd and even though the VCT 6 was quicker, im loving the sound........ the instant torque straight off the throttle is great too. Im not going back to a six if i can help it !! |

1. Ford Fairmont, welcome to the world of torque and "Aural" sex!
2. SLO247 although they are nice (esp. to us LWB nuts) are Concordes actually collectible? I had a ZL Fairlane Sportsman - 1 of 700 made, probably cause no-one wanted any more! I liked it but no extra value, I actually wanted a 5.0 Concorde myself, but with no luck or car I got this NF and it's been good to me, but if they aren't collectible do what you like dude, that's why I bought my ZD as no-one cares what you do to a Fairlane, but mess with an XY, and peeps get upset! anyway I'll stop babbling now!
