  1. Seems like I might be OK then because there is hardly any difference with the back box off.
  2. 'Exhausts with less silencers than stock' I had better get a back box then!I cut it off and it now exits at the side. BUT I cant find in the new book about silencers,I read it in the last book but the latest one just says 'the exhaust system may be modified'
  3. It will have something to do with the flared arches as well i reckon.The front view silhoutte would change? So have you been to a national event before,are they REALLY keen on things.They might rip my old shed to bits and tell me to go home.
  4. Will i notice any improvement if i change that flat bit of pipe from the intercooler.Or not worth the hassle. 200tdi.
  5. R.E bring beer tokens. Sorry not to be a sheep but I dont drink now,gave it up a while back.
  6. 'make the most of what you have got' That is my EXACT philosophy. Posts I see on various forums make me smile when I read 'I have bought a discovery,which is the best/biggest lift/tyres/spotlights I can fit. Perhaps what I should have put was,'I want to do as much as I can to my disco but stay in the standard class' I have done fine already with my standard car with colway 205 remoulds,I really believe it is the car not the driver,I have sailed through parts where V8 90's failed miserably.
  7. 300bhp/ton,what class is your disco in for RTV trials.
  8. This is what I am trying to get my head round,all the little things that nobody seems to be able to give a definate answer to. The only thing I can find about the 'great throttle return spring debate' is in the ALRC green book 2007,in the scrutineering check section.It says 'Only early series vehicles did not have the return spring attached directly to carb butterfly spindle.So check that one is fitted.' So reading that,only series 1's need the extra return spring.BUT I fitted one anyway to my 200TDi discovery,because I kept getting told I had to.Luckily it only cost a quid and took me ten minutes to fit.
  9. Although I have read the Green book over and over,I cant determine what moves SOME vehicle's from standard classes to modified classes. My discovery for example is in class 5 (std) an I have spoken to others at events who gave various reasons why their discovery was in class 11 (modified).One driver said it was because he had changed his bumpers,but section B.13.1 says 'Heavy duty bumpers and bumpers associated with winch installations are permitted provided they are no smaller or weaker than the originals.' I think something that has the suspension lifted should be classed as modified,but from what I understand only if it has dislocation cones fitted does it become modified. I would like to stay in class 5 (std) but if I could do more to my car,I would.
  10. Cant wait for the national event,nervous though!I dont care what the terrain is I just want to do well,I have won a trophy already for 1st in class, and would take my disco to hell and back to win a trophy at the national event.
