A TKO600 is a super tough Tremec 5 Speed manual gearbox.

My plans for the Fairlane is to get rid of it and replace it with a 6 cylinder E-series.

boot installs are rather easy, have made quite a few

EBTom · 28-02-2009, 02:08 PM

Some colour coding of bumpers and a general detail and tidy up (need new bonnet and might try to pick up a 2nd bootlid without spoiler).
Scrap the rattly 3.9L, fit a EL/AU engine, wade cam and chiptorque chip ive had sitting around for months.
Have rear springs reset 1-2inches lower.

eMpTy · 28-02-2009, 10:56 PM

My plans have changed a fair bit from what I originally had in mind for my XR.

Original Plans

1: Get GTO Rear bar sprayed & fitted. Spray rest of car at the same time.
2: Build up a show worthy boot install
3: Install Carputer, with 15" touch screen, mounted portrait style, replacing the centre of the dash.
4: Full interior retrim
5: Enjoy.

Well, that was the plan until the other night when a mate pointed me in the direction of a Twin Turbo kit.

Revised Plan

1: Forget all cosmetic improvements, replace bodykit with standard, albeit modified, bars. Also replacing chrome rims with Charcoal F6s.
2: Forget boot install, rarely have the stereo turned on as it is. Same goes for carputer for same reason.
3: Buy intercooler & intake piping locally, import Twin Turbo kit. (US$999 to my front door)
4: Bolt everything up with the assistance of copious amounts of swearing & Bundy.
5: Enjoy boosted V8 goodness.

check out the response range from jaycar. go the kevlar 6.5" splits for the front, and the kevlar 6x9s for the rear. a 4x100wrms response precision amp will be sweet(dont worry bout going the digital one). subs there are many more options. if you have a 10" hole on the parcel shelf of the sprint just make use of it and go the response 5 chanel amp. its only new out so i dont the the details but it has won a few awards already. being 5 chanel it will run 4 speakers and a sub.

good luck

1FLYRYD · 02-03-2009, 08:23 PM

ummm, finish the engine bay, put the motor back together, buy the last few little bits for the turbo conversion, hopefully get my ef fairmont ghia leather interior, get my 4 pinion lsd centre and 3.45s fitted re-kit the front bushes with nolethane as every single bush is clapped out or not there, new 20s, boot install then i think it should be ready for the wedding.

XR6WGN · 03-03-2009, 02:05 PM

Each time I get mine serviced there is a little bit more to do - mainly small oil leaks etc. There is a little bit of rust coming through on the doglegs and some of the paint is looking a bit shabby - but it still comes up nice when polished.

I should really get around to doing the Head Gasket and at the same time finally get the Cam for it. The dash has got to come out before next summer - the evaporator is leaking so I thought i'd suffer this summer and next time I'm on holi's I'd do it then - I'm getting the bits together to do the climate control conversion but I'm not confident enough (yet) to tackle that one (two other jobs related to that will be fresh / recirc flap repair and a check of the clutch pedal pivot point)

I'll also get around to lowering her a little bit more and replace the shocks with Bilsteins - steering racks got a slight leak so that might as well get done at the same time.

benny_mac · 06-03-2009, 08:32 PM

My plans are
- fix the oil leak on the trans
- low kms au bottom end
- re-tune capa chip
- el xr interior with el gt style dash and woodgrain
- lowering
- mags
- tickford kit

Not in that particular order tho
