Hi Guys,
We are putting a HR disc brake front end into my FB and I was wondering what will be the impact on the ride height. It is currently on lowered springs about 2 inches. To keep the height it is now will I need to put lowered springs in it or will the HR front drop the height? Can I use the ...

Hi Guys,
I have to change the diff as the 3.36 has called it quits. To get the car back on the road i have a 2.78 to put in.
Can anyone tell me the good and bad about using this ratio? I am running a 138 RED motor(stock) with HR 3 speed gearbox. Wheels are 15 inch.
Most of the driving i do is ...

Hi Steve,
This is a really nice colour and looks good up close!

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if a 4 speed gearbox fitted can be done without modifying the bench seat for the floor shift?

Hey Steve,
Here is the ID plate to my twilight turquoise FB. Can you give me any info on the build date of this car.
The number on the guard is FB37677S. This car has been in the family since 1963.

Obviously these are not self levelling but the Narva lenses are ADR approved to run this type of light system. The headlights have been adjusted identical to the previous lights.

Hi Guys
Just put a HID headlight system in the FB. I have used a pair of Narva free form headlights and found the HID kit from Ebay.
The light intensity is 6000K which puts out a really white light.I did have Hella lights with 90/100W globes and relays which were pretty good but these things are a ...

Thanks for the reply guys,
I am sure the smiths tacho is for 4 cylinders and doesnt seem to have any switching to 6 cylinder.Checked today with my meters which do rpm and found at 80kays the car is doing 2500rpm,100 is 3100,110 is 3450. These are far more realistic
figures and close to what Brodies ...

Hi Trev,
Im not sure about the color of the speedo gear,but it is a 138 RED motor and the tacho is a smiths.
Cheers,Payney.

Hi Guys,
I am running a stock 138 red motor with a hr gearbox and have recently changed the diff ratio to 3.36(15inch wheels 195/55).On the weekend i put a tacho in and find at 100km/hr the motor is revving at about 4800rpm.At 110 it is about 5200rpm. Is this a normal figure i would expect? The ...

Decided to change the color of the gauges today and followed a thread that had been posted previously

Got some new wheels for the FB.They are 15x7 Superlites with 195/55 tyres

The FB has now been on the road for 12 months of trouble free driving(had previously been in a shed for15yrs)and we have just lowered her
Here are a couple of before and after shots

Hi guys
I am currently doing a bit of freeway driving daily and am finding the standard diff ratio making the car work too hard.The motor is a standard 138 red with a HR three speed.Is a 3.55 or a 3.36 the best options? will a 3.08 be too tall?
Thanks,Payney
