Outer Limits 4x4 Board

get out the grinder!!

I know one of the major differences was the heads. From memory the Buick Skylark heads will actually give you more engine volume but lower comp. Fine for a blower or turbo but also getting very hard to get and expensiv-ish A while ago I looked into it and finally found a guy in the states who had a ...

good on you though for having a go! One day if I have enough money I might upgrade from my D1 but not until all these sorts of things are fully sorted. Maybe a better way is to drop the mounts for the suspension effectively giving the same lift but full use of it. LRA were looking at something like ...

Took a few days but I am happy with it-kind of wanted it to look a bit disco 2 and a bit factory but mostly do the job well and fit with the car without sticking out a mile like the old TJM one did.

made up from an old bar I got for $100 and then extensively re-worked. A lot of time with the flap disc and the grinder...lol

here is mine

also these guys who actually made a bolt on complete kit http://www.roversd1.nl/sd1web/jspeed.html I remember reading an os post on a forum over there that there were some janspeed equiped range rovers getting around but they are very rare. (you might find one on ebay lol they always list the rare ...

looked into this a while ago and these guys seem to have all the goods although might cost some $$ landed here with all the bits it has been done before. The 5.5 L rover motor sounds interesting too especially with a twin turbo setup

Yep agree with the above but my old system used to backfire occassionally even with new plugs and 9mm staino core gas leads. The answer is to have a relief system (which I couldnt really fit). The other way is that a friend who is running a rover 3.9 in his rangie who has had the dizzy recurved for ...

I have got a wolf 3d 500 running dual gas and petrol with sep maps for each. Works a treat.

yeah and keep in mind that the tanks for the RR dont fit a Disco necessarily due to the body brace that runs through in the disco. Long Range Automotive mod Range Rover ones up with notches so they will fit a disco for about $150... Ask me how I know.... :roll: Anyhow fair to say my $250 tanks are ...

Thanks guys, getting a quote from Lumleys.

Insurance renewal just came up....so I though I would look around Most insurers will want to charge $600 to $850 per year and cover you for bugger all. Diff-locks arent normally covered, bar work may not be covered, after market lights, wheels tyres, racks, uhf etc, winch etc. often not covered. I ...

theres a top bloke in Hallam if you get stuck - ECAD. I just used him for my disco and all was good!

the other option is to Pick up a sealed contact pac for about $120 from ebay The are simple to use and easy to wire and take up stuff all space

Tig welded, etch primed and epoxy black. 3 1/2 inch with mandrel bends.

OK to get the ball rolling... I have got some 285 /75 (or 33x 11.5s) BFG All terrains that measure around 32 inches and have nearly full tread. I have some simex JT2s in a 34 inch that also have plenty of tread that measure about 15mm bigger than the 32's which are supposed to be 33's. Then I have ...

the dealer may have fitted them? Just ask if it has an ARB or MD switch or button.

loanrangie is right - a lot depends on the offset and how wide a tyre you go. According to one of the tyre fitment guides a 7.5 R16. This diameter almost equals a 33 inch "road tyre" and will go on a disco on standard rims with no offset as it supposedly tucks into the guards with no issues...except ...

tip for the day. If you get your car engineered in another state (eg NSW) and reg there, you can bring it straight down to Vic and reg. here as once registered with an engineers cert in another state they wont knock it back! Thats how one of the guys here got a suziki registered in Vic with 37 inch ...

check with slunnie but I believe the TD5 is also quicker than the early v8's....unless they have had work done to make them special

I have a D1 dash that I was going to fit into my rangie before it got scrapped.

It is waiting for a good home if someone gives me a slab they can pick it up from Seaford.

Agree - pretty much drive it as is. Maybe a winch and bar (should be able to get second hand for about $1500 - lockers are also great but wont get you as far. If you go a rear locker you should also get hituff axles especially if you are planning on going bigger down the track. If you get a winch ...

Finally went down to Vicroads in the disco today to get the new engine number recorded. Put on the mate's 31's, actually fit some mudguards and pulled the coil spacers out. It looked reasonably streetable despite the body lift. The trick was to go down in the middle of a 43 degree day for the ...

I love my maxi-drives...just my 2 cents.

thanks guys I tried to keep it looking semi-stock (the built in lights actually fit the D2 series bumper lights) and tried to get the hoop to look kind of like the top of the nudge bar with similar sizing and angles - not to mention the $10 sticker off ebay! Thanks for the encouragement - now I have ...

Finally got the time to finish the new winchbar- I am pretty happy with it so thought you guys might like to check it out as well. http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/41727/2307861770103264743S600x600Q85.jpg [/url] http://inlinethumb17.webshots.com/43664/2763240110103264743S600x600Q85.jpg [/url] [/img ...

I have seen an airbag disco modded with 2inch BL and 2 inch Coil on ebay claimed everything was engineered...

A little body lift will help too. It can be done with 33s and only flares and 2inches of lift but to stop rubbing tyres regularly you need to space the bump stops downwards (less clearance means stiffer springs/shocks) or a little bit of a body lift. (I also have the quarter panel tank for the gas ...

les Richmond in melb adapt holden computers as well even if the motor is too far out of spec for a 3.9 to run it. Or use an aftermarket, hawk, wolf, etc.
