  1. locker activation is useless, the front it ok but the back gave me nightmares so it was to the drawing boards for a new actuator. a few hours later on the lathe i had my own air actuator and it works far better than the std unit it also takes less than 5 minutes to service after a comp
  2. the cvs on my 80 series axle under my comp truck lasted over a year before breaking and im running it on 37" boggers, previous to me having the axles plastic badger ran them with 37" iroks i dont know the milage on the axle so that has to be taken into account. there certainly stronger than uprated rover stuff as i was breaking that all the time when running simex
  3. who said your going to have your car back by then dean ive got to pluck the courage up to get underneath it with a grinder and a loose gearbox dangling above me !
  4. your running force 9's though james cheater also your engine is far too small ....
  5. in fairness though the track is wider on the jap stuff aswel as the car being alot heavier than a rover ive noticed no difference in axle height compared to my old rover axles the front is abit better in fairness
  6. i did have uprated rover axles but they just couldnt take it
  7. land cruiser rear due to correct diff offset patrol y61 front axle but you will need to fit a locker as they aint factory fit cv wise the y61 are a tad bigger than a cruiser cv but are not as easy to get upgrade parts for as it is with cruiser stuff. over the new year ill be making my own front axle due to the weakish front diff that the 80series has ill be using the uprated shafts and cvs then will the using the massive 9.5" rear 80 series diff.... see if i can break that one then =]
  8. i take it saley couldnt read the key's right to type it out ? cant wait for this !
  9. if i set a few punches out people would curse and not speak to me again but f me...can you picture boothy setting punches out, the challenge wouldnt be getting to the punch, it would be getting him to the punch on a lighter note i would certainly help out
  10. well get your arse into gear and go help them ;-)
  11. dont think it will, he hasnt got down the pallet load of t-cut yet
  12. had my letter i knew a while ago about the outcome of next year but this confirmed it its a shame really but hey ho maybe you can arrange a 2day event during the year ? as im sure to hell we ALL would enter that one to all catch up with each other after all way back when you first started look at the entrants....the banter....the laughs.... the carnage in the pitts with teams tipping there cars onto the side to work on them who knows what the future may hold, i hope i get the chance to compete with such a fine bunch of organisers again on behalf of both me and pricey thank you buxton & district for such a fantastic few years
  13. you....... blend in.....**** off you taking the p*** there slim
  14. didnt you say that two christmas's ago .........
  15. how can you relate your car not running all year to an event being cancelled less than 24hours before an event ? thats not fate, thats circumstances on your part.... the event could of still run if 5 minutes extra checking on paperwork was carried out maybe a few days before hand not 24hours before the event
  16. at least your car will be on its wheels for longer then
  17. if your now saying that we have got to make our cars float im holding you to blame dave dont know how boothy is going to get on though considering a submarine couldnt stay on the surface when he slipped onboard
  18. this is not a dig directed at anyone as there is alot of personal time let alone stress put onto the people running the challenges so you do expect minor f ups i hold utter most respect to the badlrc team for setting up and running the challenge calendar but there best be a final round after all the rushing around i did, not to mention boothy...james,baggy,barry gee...shall i go on ? then there was the co driver head ache's between me and barry that we had to sort out dragging others in only to let them down at the last minute working on my car at 6am then going to work then working on it again until silly hours only to be told when i was loading it up on the trailer sat morn that the event was called off. even then it wasnt set in stone as it was thought that it was a prank being played by baggy.... lots of phone calls later by me and others i finally could confirm and spread the news that it was off. the car is still sat there on the trailer now waiting to go, appears i might have to take it back off again
  19. is the 2.5 rad going to be man enough to cool the v8 ? autobox wise ive got a 30 row oil cooler with a 9" leccy fan attatched to it which keeps it all in shape no matter how hard its worked the last thing you want to be doing is cooking your auto
  20. one is for the intake the other will more than likely be the heater intake
  21. oi you kin cheecky bugger, ive only just noticed the " by friends of dan " bit it should be by friends of twiggy he could have half the book with the amount of times he has been over has anyone got any pictures of him on his pass side.... because all the times ive seen him over it been drivers side down !!
  22. dont worry dave ill be fine stayed on my wheels all year ..........
