  1. Unless you have a real aversion to Ashcroft I see little reason to go elsewhere for the CW&P, they have HD is just about every ratio you may want.
  2. Depends on the competition type, round here there's lots of trials run by EDORC which can handle road going vehicles, it's only if you want to do winch challenge stuff the prices gets up there. Dirt Nationals has an interesting class structure, one team is using a gutted Jimny with stock drivetrain to learn all about speed, suspect they only spent about £4K total on it including all the safety gear.
  3. Is that the same as @Daan modified for use in his hybrid?
  4. Marine cranking amps, if it doesn't say anything else then I would assume it is CCA.
  5. Probably, might be MCA, is there anything more on the sticker?
  6. An kept quiet! Anyone that's stood next to a vehicle with an external 044 pump will tell you how noisy they are... LGT has one in a 2l swirl pot in the engine bay and I can hear it over the V8 running....
  7. You can put a bottle jack on its side, and with some timber packing spread the chassis rails that way. Failing that, you normally just need a much bigger hammer - they are tight.
  8. That's a pretty unique occurrence to be fair, bex towing bex. The tow-er is even the right colour, just missing the amber beacons.
  9. Agreed, especially with ethanol becoming more and more part of it. Yeah, steel is great for tanks, as it bends and recovers most of the time, aluminium and especially stainless really don't like being flexed about. If it were me, if I hadn't already decided to go TD5 I'd be making a new steel tank with a nice thick bottom (maybe 5mm?) so there's no need for a tank guard, and the rest in 3mm, including the baffles. But TD5 is WAAAY easier and cheaper.
  10. The Jem would likely get 50mpg if kept with a 1.75 SU rather than a twin weber... he'd be SAVING money by having two cars. You see the man-maths at work there?
  11. I've gone back to using bluecol, everything else seems to turn to mud in my experience.
  12. Possibly, but then there's two cars to have fun with
  13. So, done by Easter then? Right on time for the 200TDI to be hoiked out
  14. It may not be a 5 minute job, but if you are prepared to run around in a rat-rod like fashion at least knowing the underpinnings are good then it may not be as much work as it could be.
  15. That's been a LOOOONG conversation many times!
  16. Same! I do have digital as well.... but the proper ones always work.
  17. So, what you are saying is you need to fix up the Jem so you can take the Ibex off the road for a short period of time?
  18. Yep, pretty weird juxtaposition to be fair!
  19. Yeah... you'll very likely need to move the whole lot forward a bit, and get new props, and quite a few other bits.
  20. I am not surprised in the slightest, it looks truly fantastic.
