Should have gone an EFS kit as I have heard really good after sales service if anything goes wrong, and I reckon they would have replaced it had one of their leaves broken. (that is if it wasnt efs and I'm not talkin through my ASS) :D I wonder if ### would still have used the overloading excuse ...

chpd80 did you have boots on the shocks? and did you bother to take them back when they played up. Yep had boots on the shocks and were in good condition, No I didn't bother persuing any warranty on them as SO many people were having the same probs as I had so I just put it down to experience, but ...

Not sure about the engine but I know for sure in Vic. you cannot just get a certificate for the engine mod. The engineer has to give a certificate for the WHOLE vehicle. So if its lifted, diff wheels, bullbar, lights, gauges, seats etc etc etc they have to do the whole thing along with the engine ...

Had tough dogs in my cruiser for less than 12 months, and wouldnt touch them again if someone gave them to me. They worked great when they were brand new but faded real fast and ended up with their hardest setting being same as their softest setting. Had lots of people say the same after trying them ...

Wow. You've certainly done some homework on that. I agree what your saying in getting techincal with the word "locked", but for all intent and purposes "locked" explains what your feeling, and in a round about sort of way what is going on with your tyres climbing a rutted hill for example. There's ...

I was just worried about the sudden locking tourque thats all. I know you didnt want to be told how they work, but you need to know that they are ALWAYS locked until one wheel tries to go faster than the other (like on a roundabout) then they will UNLOCK not lock. The clicking noise you can hear is ...

I've got 1HZ Turbo Intercooler, and I now drive diferently after fitting a pyrometer (in dump pipe). Example; Hills that you had to drop down to 4th or 3rd to get up before you turboed you will find that with the turbo you can stay in 5th and power up the hill. This is where the pyro changes how you ...

So Darren, have you definately decided against Toyota's V Nissan.? Theres plenty of toyota's around that I'm sure would love to have a chance to compete and help this catagory take off!

How good would it be for spectators (and the industry for that matter) to see well built capable trucks competing, knowing that they can definately afford to build and race something like what their looking at?

Man great idea. Dont get too stressed with getting the formula perfect from the start, like V8 supercars you can bring in changes to rules as they become problems. Kinda be a shame to limit it to GQ's only, at least allow a GQ/80 series comp. Cruisers will always be outnumbered by GQ's thats just ...
