  1. I have no driving style........ #neverlift
  2. ive just preordered / prewarned nige that im about to fit one of his 6 paddle grips like **** on a fleece blankets to my really tuned TD5 as the current clutch doesnt like being clutch bumped in 2nd high..... will see how we go as ive got every confidence in his skills building diffs.....
  3. The proper momo boss has a rubber gaiter of sorts that would do what you want it to do
  4. I know the guy that built it, might not be the prettyest of things but considering he's wheelchair bound still impressive
  5. Can't be the only one wondering about how the series 3 has a v registration
  6. I've done something similar before I went to the allisport alloy intake pipe which compromised a 90 deg 80mm bend & a 90deg 80-60 reducer In the end changed to the alloy intake as it gets round the issue of sucking the intake pipe flat under hard acceleration with a vnt turbo
  7. Not that it makes much difference to this thread but watch this space, we've got a few ideas onboard to improve our old racecar
  8. Gigglepin are racing the spec class, were going out to support the letzroll 4493/4511 cars raving in the main event & the emc race
  9. To be fair, leaving the industry for a career change was the best thing that I've done,
  10. whats the scoring for a truck on 37's, hydro steer & 1 winch?
  11. currently have ARB's in both axles, 4.11 CWP & pegged, axle casings have been beefed up slightly, biggest thing is the addition of gwyn lewis weld on diff pans & ill be redoing the bolts holding the diffs in & replacing with welded in studs as the diffs keep coming loose when you give them an absolute pounding, it does have to be said that at KOV last year the issues we had were mostly self inflicted & partial learning curve, stuff like using the wrong type of wheel nuts caused a wheel to come off & destroy the rim & studs in the hub
  12. not quite steve, that was the last set of axles that cost us a 5th place finish at KOV in 2012, they were sacked off before 2013..... id recomend the d2 axles to anyone, I havent bigged them up on here incase i offend any armchair offroaders or serious competitors, i wouldnt want to say they will be reliable with 40's, hell so far been reliable with 37" stickys but even then i do strip & check them after each outing, so thats a maybe, the benefits of the d2 axles are Aftermarket HD cv's are huge in comparision to disco 1 hd cv's, track is wider allowing a less offset wheel to give better steering geometry they take a standard LR diff, so if you have D1 axles, the diff goes straight into a D2 axle, super easy to convert to full hydro steer with a highsteer option, although they have a unit wheelbearing, which can be expensive (£100+) they are super simple to work on, can have both axles stripped with shafts, cv's Hubs & diffs out faster than i could do one axle on a D1,
  13. Also Dan it's not as much the msa rules not working, I believe the msa had a **** fit & have said they won't insure the event instead
  14. side bars & door nets are straightforward to do, Build a new car isnt as straight forward but its the boost we need to go even faster......... Suppose i should look at 40's now
  15. If it's venting the bags of say there is a mismatch on the ride heights, is expect the ecu to be trying to level the car up when it does this, can you check the actual ride heights in live data
  16. seems straight forward enough to deal with, need to fit window nets, biggest issue i need to clarify is the ruling on seamed tube being fased out by 2016, Looks like we will have to build something out of cds to keep racing U4E
  17. I'll take a picture in the am, mounted the light on a cb aerial gutter mount
  18. I have an led worklight mounted on the gutter above the rear the door on my disco 2
  19. I have used dishwasher tablets to good effect in the past on a jeep that had the oil cooler leak into the water & mix
  20. mine is an original TD5 (99) with no cat,
