Here are a few pics of Pig. There are some old and some new.

Some older ones:

I'll try and track some more in a minute and add them in. I'm sure I've got some better ones somewhere.

Cheers,
Ryano

Woah, that sucks mate... The left snorkel looks a bit funny now

Did you do much damage? Only panels?

Post by **Ryano** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 1:10 pm

Cab is a bit on the stuffed side now and the tray has a few cracks and is pushed over to the drivers side about 2".
It was a heavy endo/ pirouette. It did a backflip off the hill and came down on the front left rather hard. They managed to self recover and finish the stage. Roof is pushed over a long way, front left corner is real messy. It got pulled out well enough to complete the rest of the day, but I believe that they will be putting a new cab on it.

Ryano

Piglet, Skidy and Wally (a few others have helped along the way) have done an unreal job. It's a little pocket rocket. The few drives I've had of it, it really gets up and motors.
PIglet and Skidy have been running it for years now. Last year we ran a round of the Genie Winch comp twice. Once with Pig and Skidy and then straight after them, Wally and I. It is a very capable machine.

Cheers,
Ryano

how did it roll. did you come down the hill and it rolled.

Post by **Spartacus** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:13 pm

drove up and went over backwards, landing on pass. side roof/door area

Post by **pigletracing** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 10:47 pm

nearly rite,it actualy went rite over backwards & the 1st
part to hit tera'firma was the front left hnd cnr of the
bonnet,pushing it down & the frontend back into the
engine,then floped onto the pasenger side.

what engine mounts are you running, i was going to make my own but it looks like it will be easier to use the v6 one's.

Post by **pigletracing** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 5:26 pm

scat mount on drivers side,used orig chasis mount
but cut a large V out of it,bent it & welded it back up.
but used the scat ruber mount..just bolt the mount to
the engine,& lower it in,you will see what i mean..
passenger side a little more tricky,got a pre fabd chassis
mount for a hilux/comodore conversion from MARKS
ADAPTORS & modified it slightly,then used the comodore
rubber mount,,,just start with the drivers side,& it will
all fall into place

Post by **jav** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:19 pm

scat mounts are gone, was putting rover v8 in and they had to go.
got the motor sitting were i want now and have seen a marks mount so i'll make then for both sides.
still got to work out how to fit rover power steer box, it should just fit

Post by **pigletracing** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 5:54 pm

i used a daihatsu rocky power steer box, has done the job
for 2 years now, & very little mods to install,i think it used
2 or 3 of the original bolt holes

Post by **Sweeney** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 8:49 pm

Would the Rocky power steering box bolt up to the Scat (stock linkages and all)? Like if you would need it for a stock Scat...

Post by **pigletracing** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 9:37 pm

not too sure about engine requirments,ie pullys/power
steer pumps ect on a scat..as i put in a commodor,
but the rocky power/steer box went into scat linkages
no probs,& only needed 2 new bolt holes (i think,been
a while)

Post by **jav** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 11:59 pm

all the steering box mounts are gone to, got the rover box and it should fit, bigger has got to be better, it's going to hopefully turn 42's.
don't know how the mq diffs will like that but there cheap,

@Piglet and Skiddy: i think it was the finest scat i have ever see.
I am building a Scat for extreme off-road too, for the competition here in Belgium and once a year somewhere in europe (this summer in RoemeniÃ«)
this one have a Rocky 2.8tdi engine and original 5-speed gearbox, with Scat F20 axles and 37" tyres, not so much modifications, but i had not so much time for building it, Next winter i have more time and than i started to build a new one with bigger engine and coil suspension and bigger axles and maybe bigger tyres (42")
