Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm just going to put the tyres on in about 20K, live with them for a while and see. I've been underwhelmed by the Cooper ST's. they are noisy and haven't improved the beast off road much at all. AND the step up to 265/70R16 has raised the gearing, the speedo is out by 8% (GPS Thanks v much) I think ...

Interesting. So even though you get taller gearing on the highwy you chew more fuel because the torque has suffered.

And all Tcases have the same low ratio it's just the high that's different!

I'll need to have a rethink. Can't afford Maxis!

Thanks guys.

Make sure you get the LPG System with the little ECU and stepper motor. Takes the guess work out of tuning and even though it's a bit more expensive you'll get far better reliability and maybe better economy.

I've got a DII V8. Needs new tyres, currently running 265/70/r16 Cooper STs. I already have noticably taller gearing, speedo error is at about 8% and I feel the slight loss of torque! It's hard to know with the V8 whether the ecomony is affected because i can't help driving it like it's stolen ...

Hi,

Taking the plunge and need LPG for the DII in Brisbane.

Recomendations Please.

What's the best tank arrangement? Scuba?

Do you need to re-chip it?

Ian.

the Sals is a lot stronger than the rover and it's overall a cheaper and easier conversion than most other options.

IMHO

That's a good question actually, I never really checked that they'd welded the pads on in the right spot. So there you go that's another trap for young players, I've sold the IIA now and I think it's probably a pile of rust because the boys that bought it lived on Fraser island! SWB IIA _ Army cut ...

I've got the v8 auto with ACE. I would agree that you should get a manual td5. The v8 is fun until you do the maths and see the juice it eats. Underperforming though isn't a critisism I'd level at the DII. I think you need a bit more pedal mate, if you're not used to it can be a bit stiff. Also they ...

Hi, Yes I did do the Sals on a shorty. I got the brackets TIG welded on. Apparently that's the best way to do it and most good engineering shops will grind the old ones off the rover diff and weld them onto your sals for not much cash. Secondly, if you take the diff out of an old s111 then it will ...

Mate I've done it. and it works well, ie, you wont notice it because you'll stop busting axles! You have to Tig weld the spring brackets onto a different place on the axle. my engineer just measured when he cut them off the old IIA housing. You'll also need to shorten your drive shaft. do this last ...
