Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A friend has just lunched a CV. It's an IFS 100s with a pair of ARBs.
Q1 - Is there a recommended upgrade CV? I have heard of Longfield but have also heard of accelerated wear issues with these.
Q2 - Should he even go down this road? Do the ARBs support the CW&P enough or would he be better off ...

- with 4.1's or even 4.7's diffs from a Series 3 the crawl ratio will be outstanding (63:1). Not that 48:1 is bad - better than most if not all stock crawl ratios. Will need to swap the high range gears in the LT95 transfer with some from a RR or diesel county to get some reasonable road gearing ...

Overall though, I'd be pretty happy to put money down on the cost of gas in the city being over 90c a litre within 12 months. And wouldn't be surprised to see 70+c a litre by the end of the year.
I have the same fears RR but people are touting $2/L for petrol/diesel in the very near future. we're ...

I bought a complete impco set up including the under floor tanks (8yrs left) S/H for $300.

No it's not fitted but still.

now THATS good buying. gotta be sharp i spose.

Have been pricing gas kits for some time now and i can get a new imco kit fitted for $2600 man are you getting ripped. $4400 wow
been researching this for a while too as have been holding out for injected system like ones readily available in UK/Europe but alas have been told it wont be available ...

PS just watch the price of gas and installations go up up and away!!!

PPS Tassie gas is 10-20 c/l more than Melb and Syd so were're kinda used to being ripped off either way

Im thinking of getting another Disco but a V8 on Gas...Am I mad for having two Disco's?? One a TDi300 and a V8 on gas?

I know the 3.9L use's a heap of fuel about 15-18L P/100km....I guess if its on the gas it will still use heaps of gas but will work out a little cheaper .

I just miss my V8....I ...

Hi all,
Looking to get a late 90's GV 2.5 V6 and of course I can't just leave it be can I? :roll:
So from searching (boy have I done some research on these) Calmini arms seem the goods to sort camber issues but I see that OME is recommended for struts due to extra length.
Found a link http://www ...

um, was supposed to add this too.

When I bought a 'glass lid for my sierra 10yrs ago it cost $1400 fitted, in plain white without hood lining. Definitely worthwhile for daily driver and in summer I usually used just the hatch to keep the sun off but back canopy off to keep it's open feel. u can just carry the front hatch tossed in ...

And anyone know about the steering wheel?? Mines not centre and i wanna fix it??


marc

fine tune your steering at the draglink from the pitman arm across to left wheel. one TRE is LH thread & other is RH thread, so when you turn the draglink tube you realign wheels with the steering box at ...

It's a joke.

[quote="Gwagensteve"]If you choose 30's, shoot for off the shelf springs (I too vote OME Dakar) OME shocks and leave it at that. some carful work flattening out some seams and trimming the braket that the front bumper bolt to etc and 30's should be fine.

don't get too influenced by some of the ...

thanks to both of you. i no sooner posted and the forum seemed to crash so i went back out, had a puff and engaged my brain.
arrived at the same conclusion to simply crank again untill at top mark as it really doesn't matter which pot is firing, as long as i had a reference point of what it was ...

hey all, a sleeper here but desperate for help.
i have scanned the tech and i have searched but to no avail :cry:

Just doing the timing belt on my 1300 (and of course i have no book for this car) and am a little concerned about the correct timing of the cam wheel.
a/ It has a nick in it which I ...

the G15's are more capable of more rev's than the G16's due to the shorter stroke and G16's have a tendency to throw conrods after 8000rpm
G15's keep on goin hard :lol:

Which is also why 1.6s have a nicer torque curve than 1.3 or 1.5. It's not necessarily the increase in displacement that does ...

my 2" mild steel close to 10yr old now and no prob, cost $120 at the time but mine's pre cat.
with headers & just a universal muffler, not antisocial but breathes well.

an ecotec weighs in at 195kg. at least twice as much as the g13. enough reason for me to think itd be less than perfect.
it's not an ecotec engine, it's just a normal vn v6 motor. Power to weight ratio 1.3 Vs 3.8 No comparison I don't think the extra weight is a huge factor considering the power ...
