Oldgold the saying is you gotta learn to crawl before you can walk. You .!

Zuk on 26’s… SPOA is illegal so I think you should look at something different and maybe a little easier to reverse. Tripod payed 2000 for his spoa, which is about what you will pay. Now I’m guessing you will want to fit tires later. In my experience I would recommend a 31 max for a standard wheel base (with perches drilled). Personally I would go a 2â€

Yeah dude I wouldn’t go SPOA with standard NT diffs and 29’s. A friend of mine did it and it was vay to unbalanced. Because your tires fit without any mods you could get some lifted springs. Just make sure they are soft enough to flex.

The other issue with lifted springs is that it just moves the dif away from the bump stop. But if I was to fit 31’s and not extend the bump stop, at full compression the tires will still hit. A with a BL it moves the body away from the tires at full compression.

Still a virtual lift can also help and is what I did in the past. This is another possibility for fitting bigger tires.

I can’t stress enough that a lifted spring isn’t going to give you a heap more flex. The key is a longer spring. Something like a RUF is a classic example of this. On the rear, “Suzyâ€

Don’t be put off champ, at least you won’t go hungry : )

Just do one bit at a time, when you have the cash. It’s a great way to learn how to save (something I seem to have forgotten)

Just get the car first then start looking at the most important things you want. Plan before you buy otherwise you will have to buy things twice, which isn’t fun at all.

Hell just to get you started I can give you some standard rims that have been cut and flipped for more offset. That’s a start.

Think about what you are driving, you will find even though something like Duncans rigs can get through a track, you will have just as much fun trying.

Anyway so what are you thinking at the moment? If we know what you want we can look at cheap options.

well i was thinking coz all i have to pay off now is 40 dollars 4 a wieghts bench, then me and dad are guna start looking wen i get about 2 weeks of pay and yeh lucky i have dad he can find some bargains for me, after the car can save for:
lockers (go the air lockers so in the long run i have done the right thing)
gears (series 3)
bars
tyres/rims (mongrels)
suspension
winch????? nah

this is a nice list but hope to have it all finshed in a yr or 2, id rather save and get the expsive good stuff instead of having to change it wen i can afford more, will b more added to it


thanx 4 the rims m8 r they sunnies or the zuk rims with the circles in them..

kyle p

They are the standard circle ones. but have more offset. just to get you going without having to spend any cash.

Really heaps for stability

yeh thanx m8 but all my pay wich will b somehting liek 100-200 a week will b straight into the mods account afetr i get the car

thingslike rock sliders mayb and inlternal roll cage and back bar i mtieb able to amke my self with help frmo duncan and dad


ncie and cheap, but still i would rather do it the good way so in the future it does not have to be changed.

its probbly obvios but if u can its so mutch better to get a city/daly driver if ur gona keep the engine and drive chain. shortly after i got mine i had to replace the berings on 3 corners. witch was a nasty supryse after spending my cash on a 1.6. and on the subject of SPOA trypod rolld on a slope and is changing to a longwheelbase to tryand get back some stbility

And they have been on back order from america for the last six months

my series 3 seems to be lasting ok, when i was wheeling it hard.

Don't tell me ppl are gunna buy more sets. I have personly seen three sets break in the last few months and I only know about five sets personaly.

I'm talking about calmini gears.

Just can't get any at all.....

I found a set of 5.4 calmini on the shelf of a shop down in nsw but I don't have the money (well it was there a week or so ago)

Rhett wrote:I found a set of 5.4 calmini on the shelf of a shop down in nsw but I don't have the money (well it was there a week or so ago)

Yeah I have found some on shelf, but it's the last one. Or he was full of crap

wasn there a series for coming out in the future some time i remember hearing somehting abotu it a whiel back or is this onyl a rumour

LOL u wil be saving for a while for any of those, remember petrol? When u drive around a bit thats about $40 a week.

Btw will it be a daily driver, up to college and back etc? If so u won't want to be driving on the mongrels all day u want a bald set of 31"s to if u have a gear reduction, or else on smaller tyres wyou will be going to slow... good gearing though, im sure the people overtaking you on the highway will love it lol!

yeh i go to freo tafe so yeh ill probably buy a set of muddies and mongrel (32`s) anjd keep the shitty 28`s or 31`s or the tyres that are on the car when i get it, i know its alot to save for but in the long run and off road it will save me some bucks and ill keep up with the bigger guys

kyle p

U will be right dude with a quakka in your old mans hand and a welder in duncans wonderfull thing will start to happen.

Any sister pics yet, tell the old boy matt wants them

give up on bashing rockhopper already

i have read quite a few posts that have absolutley nothing to do with rock hopper gears but yet u chime in

hey go the series 3 has anyone had calmini gears are they any good??

does the diff ratios in the sierras need to be changed when going from stock 28`s to 32`s

Hey mate, most of these q's can be answered by searching or going through the bible...

quite a few people run the calmini gears - i havent heard of a breakage yet, which is why i bought some. theyre sitting in my room waiting to go in!

no point in doing diff gears and tcase gears unless youre running 36"... the cal 5.14's will see you up to a 32" tyre no worries.

hey, hwo much r the cals and where do they go??? lol sorry i dont understand everything bout 4by but most things.
