Well that's good news. I have valvoline 20w50 in the car at the moment so I think I'll stick with it. Thanks for the help

hi giles, which car were you? i might have got a picture or 2 of you. i'm not sure if i'll be able to make it to bagshot. i've got a fair bit of work to do to the racer at the moment.

They look very impressive. If they wouldn't be over kill for me I don't know what would be

I've been emailing milners who seem very helpful. The cheapest fox's that they do are 2" body remote res with a 5/8" shaft. Whats the difference between the 5/8" shaft and the 7/8" shaft? for me the 5/8 will do. what ever they are they will be a million times better than twin monroe's which are currently on the car.

thanks for the response's.

dave: i did notice the number of retirements (i was one of them) i know i'll probably always ache after slab but some better shocks will help.

Whats the difference between the 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0?

i have had people tell me that pro comps are a very good budget shock

Looking at that website fox's aren't as expensive as i thought. I'll have a look at what i think is best. I might be back with more questions yet! thanks!

Hi thanks for the advice. I realise what a difference decent dampers make, i did a comp at Slab common last weekend and i've only just stopped aching so i do fancy some better ones.

Hi

I need some advice on shocks for my comp safari land rover. I cant afford fox's so they are out of the question. I'd like to know other people's experiences. I've seen some remote res terrafermas anyone know what they are like?

I do know that a mid engined 88 has been done but that's not aloud with alrc. just try and get your engine as far back as you can

the National comp is £35 but i think most are around the £50 and the awdc events are £115 a time, unless i can find a sponsor to pay entry fee's to events i wont be doing many awdc events.

and i cant be there i'm afraid. i will be on holiday.

in my view i would build something to alrc spec, firstly because you can enter an event with any club then and secondly the cost of the event. as for the car, personally i would go for an 88 or even 93. if you want to win trophies on a budget keep it a 100inch and go for class wins. but most importantly what ever you decide on make sure it is reliable, i'm sure you have heard the old saying "if you want to finish first, first you have to finish" you could be leading and something silly could go wrong. i did my first comp on monday in my 88", we were in about 8th in class after 2 runs and on the 4th the a bearing went in the engine (i think the engine was quite worn anyway) but still it is quite annoying but thats racing i suppose.

but good luck!
