I see you're having trouble keeping wheels on the ground :rofl:

Overkill Engineering do a coil kit buy that and fund more zooks

Hope you don't think that having coils will keep the zuk's wheels on the ground. :lol:

apologies, but totally off the subject,

what type of exhaust are you running?
no cat?
no muffler?
straight through i see.

does this improve anything?
and what does it sound like?

thanks

Hey Huck
Didnt make it out there on the weekend! (Stupid injector pump) Looks like you had heaps of fun anyway!
Is that the real step climb?? With a track around the left hand side??

To SiKiD-01, the old girl has extractors to a 1 1/2 inch pipe to a muffler and 2 inch pipe out. It has made it sound better rev a little harder to just over 7 grand. Not a bad little 1L.

To I.M.P.O.S.E, Yes it is the steep climb and yes had a ball. Got very dirty, three minor dents. My mate had just as much fun until a couple of hours before we were due to leave, he snapped a c.v and then had to drive back to logan

Ah yes that is the 1!

Still looks nice and slippery! I was runnin Mcreary slicks (well thats how they felt) so I went around and still managed to end up in some strif!! My mate had some fun in a 75series ute with double detroits on all terrains! Rocknferoza captured some on film!
Im glad you enjoyed it and if you get back down this way will still have to catch up! :cool:

I would be making your mate fix the damage, it was obviously his girls fault.

Post by **huck** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 4:32 pm

the track is at McCalmans Crystalvale 4wd Park. I wish it was the girls fault however its ussually the drivers fault but I'm a person who does not give up easily and my impatience got the better of me. So we should call the pics "Impatience"
