Buying Range Rover and ? running LPG
I am thinking of buying a 1992 Range rover with the 3.9 V8 engine. Anything I need to know? What is the fuel economy like? Is it feasable to put it on gas? I will only be using it to go touring once or twice a year and once or twice a month to do some hardcore wheeling. The rest of the time it will ...

i recently fitted a 3" mandrel bent system from the back of the turbo. It is sensational. The turbo spools up faster, I have better acceleration and the note is very nice. It is not too loud nor does it drone. Was going to get a sterling exhaust but they could not supply one for 3 weeks so my local ...

Thanks guys. Having been talking to some other exhaust fitters and another speciallist stated that he would not touch the dump pipe or the gasket on the turbo. just put a 3 inch system off the dump. He stated that you loose power and torque if you change the dump and gasket. Both exhaust fitters ...

To intercool or not
I own a 2003 SR5 hilux turbo diesel. Just wondering whether anyone has fitted an intercooler to give it a bit more go. I have heard that it is not worth the money as the gains is minimal.
Any thoughts or experience with this would be great.
Thanks
Phil

It is a difficult decision but i think that you should really consider the new Mickey T Baja Claws (they are awsome) or the pro comp x terrain (these are better than the mud terrain). I am about to buy a set of the new baja claws from Mickey T as i think that they are the best value on the market ...

Thanks for that. I am going to check out a few exhaust shops tomorrow and see what can be done. I do know that the dirty big muffer has to go so it can breath better. One of those tunits would be great but the dollars will be a problem. I just wonder how much better they actually make the truck go ...

I toured the outback for approx 1 year and you can get 31" tyres easily but anything else bigger and the guys will just laugh at you. They just dont have them, therefor you will have to pay an absolute fortune to get them freighted in. The sensible way to go is 31" with a 2 inch lift kit. I had no ...

Do the lift kit, worth every penny. If you got the cash go air lockers all the way round. simex tyre? - great off road but not so good on road, especially in wet - my mate had them on his troopie and he hated driving it on the road especially in the wet, but loved them out bush. Are you using it for ...

I was putting the air locker in the rear as there is more weight in back of the truck. Also i figured that it would be used more going up hill therefor more weight on rear therefor better traction with air locker there. Anothere thing the front diff is nowhere near as strong as the rear and even ...
