  1. no tony

    was winching the rear end of the landy sideways and up a bank without drive assist, as driving would have put me in a bigger predicament :lol:

    ok fair enought, there alot of force there, but ive done harsher things on the winches than that :o

    i would have expected the mainshaft to snap before stripping a gear in fairness, what shocked me more was the fact its running a 5.6 bowmotor which are gutless IMO

    mike, im stocking up for march already :P

    ill getcha big time with the prank ive got planned for my team mate :P:P

    dan

    touch my tent or sleeping bag & ill lay an otter in your snorkel :lol:

  2. Even with import duty on that's cheap. What can you do M8000 for?

    Oh and a proper winch is one that doesn't need a shed load of mods to work properly (ducks behind parapet again, grabs steel helmet and sticks fingers in ears

    fit like a hydro?

    Just got to make sure theres plenty fuel in your truck before comencing winching <_<:ph34r:

  3. They are supposedly the puppies nuts... It is the BMW M57 engine. Depending on the age they come as standard at 184HP, ~224HP and the twin turbo at 284HP B) B) B) .

    All have vaible inlet guide vanes on the turbo, so have good low doen torque. No LR gearboxes good enough for these though. They alegedly have the best power to engine wieght ratio of ~3.0 ltr size diesels. Only down side seams to be getting the electric's to work. When I discussed with Jeremy Fearn he knew how to surmount this. Also said that none of the racers he had supplied engines to had ever had to strip an engine - 'it's a BMW mate'.

    So would you chose a 2.5ltr TD5 tuned to an aleged ~200HP, never sold by LR in that form, exhaust manifold will fall off etc. Or go for a 284HP engine as deemed reliable enough to be sold in a beamer????????

    Only issue then is what axles and gearbox do you use.

    i smell a vapour build :lol:

  4. Hi Sooty

    I might sound a bit daft, but what does FMIC mean and what is the advantage of running a 300 pump??

    Regards

    Ole.

    FMIC- Front mount inter-cooler

    the pump i have on mine is a "wolf" one which IIRC is more tuned than standard, theory being is should give more fuel,

    more to the point i was in the right place at the right time & got 3 o them & a day later my 90 ate a pump so it got fitted

  5. Makes a V8 look like quite a good idea - 160 as stock (or 180 from a 3.9) and similar MPG, buy the whole lump for the price of a jazzy turbo and have zero lag :huh:

    ...I'll just climb up on this stake while you light the fire :lol:

    why thank you.....

    Strikes match.......

    what about those with lowly 3.5's with 134 bhp?

    Cant run a V8 on free fuel :wink:

  6. the Silver Landy is Team Moonbuggy, Priit drives it with Indrik doing the running. Priits a hell of a driver, he big strong and ugly but as yet he's not carbon monoxide resistant. deep water, sealed cab, exhaust exiting in a normal place and swamp acting as a filter to remove that nasty exhausty smell.... if I ever see the moonbuggy with its windows fitted again Im going to chainsaw them into pieces.......... I 'kin sh*t myself that day.

    ahhhhh makes bit more sense now :)

    never thought id see those 2 words in the same text- landy & sealed cab
