1. Does this catch a lot of oil from ring blow by or is it all going out the exhaust (See photo in Street Machine poster)?? 2. How much extra HP can I expect from this mod, 2-5 or 10-50. ?? 3. How much does an extreme modification cost?? 4. What fuel consumption can I expect with the HP jump?? 5. Could my stock Sigma run 10's if i fit 3 catch cans?? Any help appetiated. He,he,he. ![]() ![]() |

MEAN XB COUPE answers to your questions
1. oil is distributed to exhaust to lube inside exhaust and blow by helps empty oil from sump for quick oil changes 2. hp only gained when revs above 10'000 rpm 3. Can do mods for you for about $6000 4. any fuel consumption gains are lost through leaking fuel pump 5. Possibly 9's hope this helps |

That is nice. The back tyres look like they just fit! Black is a hard colour IMO as you can see every ripple...but yours looks great!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Masking tape hides rust well doesnt it...lol Funnily enough, its a brother to my fairmont coupe. This is also a Ultra White Factory V8 xa coupe with burgandy interior like my good one. Shame they get to this condition compared with my unrestored fairmont. Cheers, Brendon
