1 alternator only , 12 volts only , 2 batteries , unmodified drum , any genuine warn motor as long as its 12v, breathers and bracing, NO INTERNAL MODS AT ALL!!!Davidh wrote:Regarding winches, obviously the winch drum unmodified, 6hp Warn motor.
What about solenoids and batteries? Open as long as it's 12v? eg. I can run 6x1000cca's parallel?
Breathers ok? Bracing? Brake shaft mod? Alternators?

80 series and range rovers. What about a coily suzi? don't know if they was carby or not.Wild West wrote:What vehicles would you run that have solid axles and coils front and back that run naturally aspirated carby motors? Or would you open it up to any engine type?
I brought an auto GQ off Ebay for $3900.00 with a factory rear locker.frp88 wrote:I think the idea of budget racing is great but you are talking at least $15000 if you go from scratch and to me that isnt budget racing.
So you certified to do the cage to get approved that is lucky for you.Ruffy wrote:I brought an auto GQ off Ebay for $3900.00 with a factory rear locker.frp88 wrote:I think the idea of budget racing is great but you are talking at least $15000 if you go from scratch and to me that isnt budget racing.
I can build a cage in it for less than, but we will say, a grand. Thats $4900.
A Second hand winch bar, $500 bucks = $5400. A second hand high mount $1200 bucks and we're up to $6600. Just say i lash out on a spankers front locker i'm now up $8400. 1 set of control tyres and i'm smackin' ten grand with the purchase of the vehicle. To me that's pretty budget compared to what is spent at the moment.
How do you want to keep it any more budget than it is?
Guts.... I can't be bothered looking right through the regs, but how much difference is there between touring class and this proposal with any make allowed?
what you need to remember is that just about every comp truck would start at $50K to build , most would be around the $100K mark and some would be pushing $200Kfrp88 wrote:Ruffy wrote:I brought an auto GQ off Ebay for $3900.00 with a factory rear locker.frp88 wrote:I think the idea of budget racing is great but you are talking at least $15000 if you go from scratch and to me that isnt budget racing.

You wouldn't buy a new winch for a winch comp truck I don't know why
cos to me it would have to be a new one at the beginning.
Winch rope and all rigging would be close to $1000 don't forget you need a sandanchor aswell
racing seats harness and underbody and side bars I think $15000 on my part is still convervative.
My budget racing would cage, original driveline,normal shocks,4 inch of travel between sping and bump stop,33 inch tyres any make any model for more ppl to enter.

To me $15000 is to much for a comp only truck and I know that for some off the w/challange guys haven't spent more then $25000 for the complete truck.You don't need 700HP twin turbo for w/challange but for the outback or cliffhanger which are high speed events you do.krimnl wrote:what you need to remember is that just about every comp truck would start at $50K to build , most would be around the $100K mark and some would be pushing $200Kfrp88 wrote:Ruffy wrote:I brought an auto GQ off Ebay for $3900.00 with a factory rear locker.frp88 wrote:I think the idea of budget racing is great but you are talking at least $15000 if you go from scratch and to me that isnt budget racing.

now to me $10 - 15K is budget racing compared to these figures.
most winches now would be worth close to this!
why not put the idea into Zook only racing, I think Sam was talkin of that yr or 2 ago..Remydog05 wrote:Ive only done this because I could se this being a cheap thing if you used Suzukis as well.

See.. Your making it expensive for yourself!.. Within the rules of the class Darren is proposing my scenario was feasible... But you WANT more, not need more!frp88 wrote:So you certified to do the cage to get approved that is lucky for you.
