Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi i have a cheap motor and box with a new hd clutch too if your interested

well its a 4.4 with a 4 spd manual thats breathing very heavy and has a few knocks and leaks so id like to if i can find the parts/afford it rebuilld it so the works. rings,bearings etc

yeah true i am happy with the power or more than it should have and where would i get parts from for the 4.4 everytime i need stuff for it i always struggle and the cost to rebuild it im expecting is going to be very costly

sounds like the 3.5 is the go then all i need to do now is find one for the right money, anyone on here got one for sale?

Hi, just wanting to know how hard it is to fit a injected 3.5/3.9 to a classic rangie it currently has a 4.4 in it which has seen better days so is it worth the hassle of going injected or just throw the std 3.5 carbie into it. Thanks

what fuel are you running it on? my old car used to ping with the cheap 91 octane fuel in, i put the 98 in and it ran great no pinging

no problem thanks for the info i now know which gearbox and transfer to locate if i can find a good one

so ill need to get the 5 spd flywheel macjined and balanced? and are the clutches the same ive just put a new clutch in mine and then thought of going to a 5 spd

HI just thinking of buying a 5 spd gearbox from a series 1 discovery for my range rover but im unsure whether it will fit up its a 4.4 p76 engine with the stock 4 spd behind but wanted to go 5 spd box, any help/advice is good at the moment

hi if your after the longer and cranked rear arms im pretty sure Rovertraks do them in ferntree gully they were pretty cheap too from memory

easy done pm me and we'll talk $$$

yeah i thought about swapping to nissan and toyota diffs but id rather not go that way i have flares and new wheels and rubber so id rather not change them now so id like to stick with the rover diffs i think i might have axles now and possibly a centre what more do i need and will the centres bolt ...

so will these break easier? im trying to find some 24splines to convert the whole lot but what exactly do i need to convert mine or is it a matter of changing housings or just internals?

so if i could locate a disco series 1 with 24 splines front and rear and could get the complete centres and axles i could swap striaght over and be better off straight away and then buy a locker and axles to suit that diff?

yeah i understand that castor is measured in degrees. Im a suspension tech by trade and im just trying to come to terms with how the castor changes without lengthening the arms, as castor is measured from the top to bottom of the pivot points ie top of spring to bottom

just a quickie, how does cranking arms correct castor, if you only bend them to correct how the diff sits? castor is technically wheelbase so without lengthening the castor wont change.

so new diff centres axles lockers etc? are they that much stronger than 10 spline? it just seems a huge cost compared to 10 spline

ok so basically stick with the diffs i have but get them fixed up, obviously there are many options but which lockers are best to go with with regards to strength vs price?

Hi i have a range rover 2dr running 35's and standard diffs im looking at buying axles and a diff lock or two, but not sure whether its worth converting to 24 spline and at what cost?

hi realistacly if its only 2" i wouldnt bother, you can fit brake lines but i wouldnt waste the money.

i do heaps of tyre grooving on kevlar rally tyres and have only ever used the hot groover which is easy, but only ever go as low as the wear bars as any lower could cut cords in the carcass of the tyre

traction tyres and more in rowville

Did I pay too much?

I can do a better deal than that for the same product, so technically yeah you did pay too much

what is the issue/problem you have? is it a ride quality/ride height issue?

all depends what you paid for them!

where abouts are you? Im a koni dealer and can do you a really good deal at the moment

yeah it seems a little unstable at speed but it was never built for going fast but its pretty much stock setup i.e arms etc but im waiting to get the rollcage in and get the weight in it before i start switching coils

i have 2" body and 4" coils and 35's in my rangie and its gonna be expensive very shortly unless you have access to tools to make the arms to suit, 4" is a little over the top but its what i wanted and it works well but saying that im thinking of coming down a inch or two. Kings Springs did mine as ...

Hi im just about to replace the rear main seal in the car and thought it would be a good opportunity to replace the clutch. Does anyone have any recomendations on which way to go.i.e exedy, rpm, etc

no problem thanks for that
