A mate just bought a LWB Pinkish Zook with rangie coil diffs rear A frame a large dent on drivers side. It needs a lot of work like refiting the engine and 5 speed and sorcing a transfer for it and a few other bits missin from the engine. I will get some photos tommorrow. Any body know who will engineer the coils once the truck gets a freshen up or will it become a rock crawler.

I remember the car but can't remember the guy who owned it :oops: ..sorry.. (the name Luke rings a bell :? )

You could try Car-Pliance (Phil Harris) about getting it plated ;) :P

yep i built that car :oops: it started out doing it all good to get engineered then he closed his wallet and said finnish it without spending anymore mony than was absolutly nessecary so we chopped the shaft ourselves no balancing [wonder why it destroyed transfers to many vibs] welded brackets on instead of making plates to bolt on all that kind of stuff it is embarressing to say i built it as it could have been a lot beeter than what it was
it had a 1.3 with a pulsar turbo ,link efi ,custom manifold ,ser1 rockhoppers it went well except whoever tuned it set it up so the power came on like a light switch it was shocking to drive bet went well

from memory i think it was a mazda rotory throttle body it did go quite well but i would have tuned it different as the power was all top end

Was the rangie rover coil setup used front and rear they are damn wide diffs, did you just make new mounts for the orignail trailing arms etc? what was done with the coil mounts both on the diff and on the chassis??

Sorry for all the questions, are there any pics of this rig??
