that's cos there too greedy and put too much mark up this industry is too small to be ripping people off


Word!!

Where are these things manufactured ? Isnt there a free trade agreement going on if they are made in the USA, which should make some of the import taxes lower.

Yep, 100% made in the USA. Not sure if the "free trade" stuff was taking into account with my fees or not.

When swaffield bought his ...

Seconded....motion moved.

Cheers for the info all.
Will see what i can find in the way of vehicles before i get too excited.
Bloke at work has an auto to suit a 100 diesel, ill see if it has a bellhousing as well.

Dont suppose you could ellaborate a bit more on that? As for not worthdoing to a 1hz....i want a good tow vehicle. Diesel is obvios over petrol on economy. Plus my old man has. 1hz out of his 79 series with 180k on it. I can build up for turbo intercooled with a bit off swafftec pump work. My ...

Looking to buy a hundred series for a tow car.

Question i have. If i buy a petrol auto. Can you just buy a diffrent bellhousing and bolt a 1hz to the petrol auto? Or a petrol manual?

Quick question brett.

Outa curiosity are you looking to keep running this event? Or just putting the the hardyards and letting someone else run from there?....Was a gq truggy just itching to show the ultra 4 a thing or 2 all weekend :D

And also i understand there arent alot of park options for ...

Thats pretty much how i saw that too. Made sense to me, defeats the purpose of bunting if you can just drive over it no?

Not "nit picking" just constructive critism. If your aiming for an ultra 4 style event then applying their rules makes the most sense to me, no?
If someone is allowed to skirt around an obstacle wouldnt that come off a bit more unfair in total times if you avoid an obstacle?
I think thats halfthe ...

I'm all for making people work their way around. No tape lifting. Sorta defeats the purpose of interval running of the same track in my opinion.

But all in all was a top weekend. Shame so many had bad luck with random breakages but hey, thats racing. The heat definately showed a number of tems they ...

I take the fact there haven't been any updates on here is the mass work done? And tis now ready for KOTR

from a spectators point of view most unorganised 4wd comp I have ever been to. the price was also outragious for people who got there later in the arvo to watch the night stages and they cancelled the stage. the last stage that run before the night stage was also very unsafe as it wouldnt of taken ...

There is a bling as toyota that should be there but something about to far to drive to pick up dave and the 40.
I've seen what you guys can get just outa stubbycoolers sales :shock: ....Jump into the sticker profits and get this done :armsup:

Hopefully a bit more KOH footage same as last year to ...

on the weekend!

Don't confuse the poor kid digsy. Wouldn't know what an offroad enthusiast is.
Not much enthusiasm in dragging your sorry arse up a hill you can't drive...or don't try to

Pretty sure theres a 3 link calculator as well

I use to work for arb and did factory tour 3 years ago.
They were manufacturing all parts there then. So unless someone heard of a few layoffs I'd say they are still made here. Plus they had just bought a 5-axis twin tabled Cnc that had a tslot table that held 4 different jobs at once. Lotta money ...

locktup sell an ARP stud kit for them. That coupled with 10mm dowels is plenty strong. holds up to my 40" sticky tyres well

I'm all for this option. Already upgraded to the 10mm grade 12 cap head bolts and washers. But none of the after market axles come drilled to suit 10mm so I'm going to ...

I used 3mm wall for bed and legs to chassis on this. Didnt have anything bend and 2 blokes can lift it is not heavy. Also use 3mm checkerplate as 2 will sag in between braces.

I'm no expert but just medium wall tube (3.2) is heaps and easy to get. I generally use 6mm for mount plates, And 2mm sheet to fill bits in...

Just watched the valley of kings ben. How much you get payed for being the feature presenter?

Nice working thread. Interesting to know were and what are areas of attention in this sport.

How's standings for the series?

Yeah what micka said Evan .

My bad 4130 or 7075 aluminum, or t6 can't remember what most use for links

Does the 4 link calculator work the same for front suspension?

And what does everyone think is best for link material chromo or alloy? And what the price difference?
