well we came home early,& left the rest of the guys to
continue playing.we had a problem on the 1st hillclimb.
we tore the rear diff out of its housing,just a minor setback
we might be putting the nissan running gear under quicker
than we thaught. the other guys had the usual issues
C/Vs, leading arm bushes,the odd axle,& they left a lot of there
paint behind on trees,forged some new trails & bluilt some bridges
all up, Spring Mtn still has some good tracks,but for how much
longer ???????

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 Roemenië)
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")

Just wanted to know which countries had the 2.8tdi engine. I have an F300 Feroza. Thanks.

New Zealand was one country that sold the older style Rockys fitted with the 2.8TD motor/ solid front axles etc (very simular specs to the Toyota Blizard)
As far as Im aware (could be wrong ...quite often am
) the F300/F310 Feroza was only ever released with the 1600cc petrol motor and with a choice of 5sd man or the rarer 3sp Auto box.

Only auto I know of was the Asin Warner lockup 4 speed.
Same core as the Jeep and Vitara - good box.

by lunchtime yesterday everything from the chassis downhas been stripped
off & ground clean,ie running gear,tie rods,leading arms ect,in preparation
for the instalation of all the GU patrol (nissan) running gear,with the toyota
running gear under,it was already about 60-100mm wider wheel track than a
FEZ,now it will be about an extra 75-100mm wider again(both sides) with CVs
now being a lot stronger aswell,,will try to get some photos up,as i have a

v6, t700 and lt230. Really don't know what I'll use it for, just had heaps of parts around the place so decided to do something with them. Superior All Terrain Challenge is all I want to enter for now, I'll have no chance against the buggie's but should be fun.
