Bummer The VIT Looked like a PLAN to me
It takes considerable money and time to get the engineering paper work together , If its like the last TT engineeres reports have all ready been submitted for the NSW vehicles,
Unlike the interstate Guys we can,t build a truck right up to the comp weekend ,
Certificates previous TT where needed 3 weeks before the event and if you didn,t front them you where out , simple.

Dont understand we havent put ours in yet

No the third link doesnt come close with the sierra case the front out put is even lower so ther is more clearance again.
We aren't running dual cases just a sierra one. And yes all will be available as kits even the SAS kit.

Im back....and apparently sorely missed...group hug
Ok here is the story.
A) Basically I bit off more than I could chew with this project. Mainly with time management issues
B) I found a PERFECT candidate for my THR (Tim Hardy Replica) at an awesum price...
C) I went to WERock half way through the build and decided that was the comp for me. A Sierra is MUCH better suited to this style of comp than a Vit.
I have finished and driven a number of Zooks but after they are built I dont keep them long. I had the white hardtop on 33 swampers, my charcoal one that I had for 6 years with 7 different suspension setups etc etc
HOPEFULLY this will be the last one as it is what I have wanted to build since 99. I negotiated an agreement with SAM in relation to the Vit and the work needed on the THR. I am more than happy with this arrangement.
I am not N.A.M. tho we both share two hobbies, this and rockin' fiddy's. BTW N.A.M., where is that WWTHD ring???
Engineering was never going to be a problem for the Vit.
SAM, When did you paint the bottom of the Vit that blue colour.... It is sort of an X90 kinda blue isn't it??????

The list is coming along nicely still on track which will mean we should take it for a run this weekend.
Sierra is good only needs harnesses and nets and she is TT ready.
