i bet it has something to do with the rear brake fluid flow. heavier weight on the back with a wagon

Possibly. I know in the Xc's & Xd's the wagon run a different master cyl to the sedan. The ute & van also had a different one. What part number did you end up with?

Cheers

Ok, never heard of them. You could have bought a kit & put it thru your master a fair bit cheaper...

I found out late this arvo my EB was in the spray booth today. Not entirely sure what has been repaired, but being metalic paint, the whole drivers side will need to be blended, so i doubt i will see the car before saturday morning.... But it's had progress on it.

I can't wait to get back behind the wheel. 4ltrs of grunt, backed with a 5spd manual & tight LSD diff, low & stiff suspension, climate control, cruise control, nice stereo, power windows, leather interior... Yeah I miss it. Have to do something about fitting the sunroof before summer!

Cheers

My wrecking thread is up, selling off bits of the Silver Eb2 Ghia that I don't need. <Shameless plug>Can be found...

Wrecking EB2 Ghia.

Need to plug that a bit, need some funds for other parts still required, like a new radiator & hoses, plus some metal to make brackets to fit the radiator & thermo fan into my mighty boy. Going to pick up a mini alloy radiator off ebay when funds are available. A mate has one in his mighty boy, it runs rather well.

I also think i will need an engine mount in the white Xr8 for roadworthy, won't know for sure until i lift the engine to swap the subframe over. I can get them cheap enough thru work, but need $$$ to buy parts still...

Anyway, I'm off for a bit, things to do.

Cheers

ToranaGuy
