LSD isnt a bad price but havent got there yet.

Accurate vid of Dales when when he finally goes there

Damn, you found me.

I had you pegged a rave tragic from the start.

It’s 60mm on the 2.3L Duratecs (Mondeo, Escape and The Mazda SP23/Mazda6), 55mm stock on a 2.0L. ChinaBay throttle bodies are cheap, and when the electronics ends up not being as smooth swapping the internals of the genuine article works fine.

I’ve spent some time around Duratecs so that made the XR4 a sort of logical thing for me. Although dealing with one in its natural habitat is a bit strange

All project cars are lame compared this one:

Well, kinda. But man that was a good episode.

New rear stance, no additional camber but 20mm total track increase.

It helps.

This hilux has a 4Age that is a weapon.

I had a 4AGE Corolla, great car.

Just met a bloke with a 1970 Mercedes 280 sedan - with an LS3 with Whipple, VY Commode rear end, XF Falcon front end, lots of Willwoods and big wheels. Complete sacrilege on so many levels but looked like fun.

I would question how well it actually does work together. It probably makes him happy though and that’s ok.

It was registered and on the road. Seems to be working pretty well, but a new build still in shakedown.

They were a great engine in their day and remarkably smooth when the maintenance was kept up to them.

nutin wrong with a bit of Gabber, lets all get lost deep inside the rave cave!..
Love the Xr's boys, looks like pint sized fun

If you don't see this as commercially significant, you are a fool:

 

[AaronM]

Quite true. China has the domestic market volume to be able to throw hundreds of iterative improvements in EV design and build in incredibly short cycles.

Nice to see the “comfort” level improved to a level that suits the range.

The day we can do a CBR-SYD return trip without recharge and not making concessions to comfort or cruising speed/AC and headlight use will be probably the yardstick of “an EV that is useable as an only car for many people”. That’s tantalisingly close right now.

Anyone tried DIY ceramic coating...?
