good approach and departure angles are vital
do abit of co driving and you will see why.
rocks, trees ditches infact anything to do with challenges the less infront of the wheels the better.
on my new build i will be moving the body back 2" as thats all it needs to get good approach angle without moving axles ect as your then into altering steering box and panhard rod positions.
will it be a road going car as thats your biggest issue.
if not the go for it and do what you think is best for you and your car

just makesure you stay off the grass with the bus, the site is a nightmare to get on and off in the dry let alone if its abit wet.
bob has put a hardcore track in uptop so your best to stay on that.
the road and entrance is pretty narrow but you should be fine as its not as tight as it was at tuff terrains to get in and out.
pm bob (treebloke) for instructions though as it is a working field still.
see you there
-

did you, or did you not return home with a trophy after that day at kirton with me ?
thats more than you normally achieve, usually you can only manage to send smoke signals for the in coming rescue party to put you back onto your ******g wheels as usual .
mike, them sheep really are nailing you too hard, its made your sense of humour go from bad to worse.
you need to retire back to scotland, mainly to attract all the midges down to dumfries to save me being bitten this weekend, because lets face it, theres less off me but they arnt going to go after twiggy are they, he will be too busy gyrating back onto his wheels.
anyway, im off to my nice bed.....hows the settee twiggy ? sniffle, cough , cough
-
twiggy, i think you'll find its you that needs educating not james
-
bob, do you want us to leave trailers and tow cars on the top field next to the gate ? or are we ok once unloaded to drive down ?
do you want us to use the bottom entrance to the camping field instead of the top one which will be a nightmare with this weather.
for people that have never been, its a mare in the dry let alone wet
see you saturday

at least you havent set me up with my comp no boothy
i was expecting the worst
-
shoot me down but the best solution i came up with was auto.
transformed my car and i'd never go back
-
also the car doesnt have anti roll bars
its a 200tdi converted to td5
-
it does no offroading what so ever, thats what my challenge truck is for.
this car is simply my daily drive and tows my comp truck some times
what spring colours are best to go for ?
as daft as it sounds i was going to fit some fox bypass shocks or similar
-
its my std road car so dont really play with it much. the suspension was fitted when i braught it but its driving me nuts now as to the bone shaking ride.
im just after other peoples opinions as to what works.
doesnt matter on price i just want a better ride and to feel more confident with it at speed
-
i know its most likely been done to death but
what can people reccomend spring wise to give descent ride quality aswel as good handling
its a td5 but has no arb's fitted
its currently on either a +2 or hd springs which id good for towing and good at shaking you apart
cheers

its just a plug james
remove it as d/d said and work it until its free
hardest part is getting the throttle arm back on whilst keeping the plastic spacers located right along with the return spring

the problem these days though si is people just love to crack stuff.
you stand the chance of spending hours devaloping a good idea only for someone to buy it, find out how it works, crack it then it gets leaked out and its game over.
the best bet is to add your own device's or security features that only you, the owner knows about.
thats what i have done.....and its nothing above theres still other things to cheat.
its still the age old problem, if there going to take it, its going no matter what, all you can do is slow them down with mechanical devices where they have to make a noise to crack it.
or, electric fence the bugger....they will only touch it once.
Moving the body to improve aproach angle?
