SELL ME THE EMS PLEASE MATTY!!!
Your goin all out on this dude. update on here more regularly.
tell us how the brakes go for fitment, improvements, mine are due to be replaced and my bank is quiet full now lol.

That kit wont fit urs moody as xg's have xf stlye front suspension/ steering and brakes

moody, sorry man but the EMS isnt for sale... its gonna stay in the XR6 cos im gonna turbo that once the ute is finished

Wils, you talking about the brakes? ill make em fit
or the nolathane kit? cos i bought the XF one

Should fit urs man, but if its to suit xf/ xg it wont fit moody's

sweet. and ive bought some WK statesman clear side repeaters for $10 each. getting them saturday night

Yeh, i mean the Big Brake upgrade kit.
Hopperstoppers do the e-series one for a couple hundred more. same deal really.
Yeh Matt, just read the AFF Post I'll sort something out.

look what arrived today

they gave you a free can of coke

Ughhh, So jealous dude.

Check the bearing shells are pressed in all the way inside the hubs.Took me 3 hours to figure out thats why my wheel bearings kept coming loose.

thanks for that info Foz... ill keep that in mind

the kit arrived this morning

the BA sideskirts are like almost exact length of utes thingo... this is gonna work out good.



note the brick holding it up for test mount

lookin good mate cant wait to see it!

lol at the free can of coke.

those brakes look sexy man, plenty of stopping power right there

haha, looks awesome dude.
I think Matt put the coke was there for the size thing coz there big f***ers.

yeh i did... no free coke these days


ok ive started the brake upgrade. (spent 3hrs on it so far)

as i knew earlier, the XG has the XF steering and suspension, not the E series (even though its clearly in E series era)
...but i was hoping the kit would still bolt up... wrong but it isnt hard to overcome
the upper and lower wishbones are different, and so is the strut.

so im using the original XF strut (instead of the 2 E series ones i got)... as a result, i have to get:
- thrust bearings to suit hub/axle (since the XF style has smaller diameter)
- oil seal (since XF has a larger diameter face where the hub will sit)
- i have to make a 6mm spacer so the oil seal sits flush with the hub

i also need:
- top and bottom wishbone joints (cos the old are f***ed)
- steering assembly balljoints (f***ed as well)
- all the bushes are f***ed (nolathane kit i bought takes care of those)

i could change the suspension to E series, but that would involve changing wishbones... too much work for when there's a simpler solution.

so once i get this spacer, thrust bearings and oil seal... ill be able to bolt it up

so ill probably have to put the old brakes back on the ute for the weekend, and then put the bigger rotors on once the required parts are sourced by conventrys.

even though there some issues, it wasnt really frustrating since its an easy solution, and i found some other stuff that needs work on ute, so its now safer

hey dude ive still got those 2 XF wrecks if ya need more parts, check em out when ya come down anyway

and i know he put the coke can there lol. i was laughing at elmo
