Re: Kill Switch?

I have seen a vehicle that had a plate that folded up over the pedals and was locked by a substantial padlock, when unlocked it folded flat on the floor. made it very hard for any one to drive and even towing was a problem to thieves. Ha! I like it. I think I will investigate that idea. What about ...

Re: Kill Switch?

Bonnet lock..... Good idea....... I know I have a trip switch on the bonnet, but I dont like where it is mounted, I figured out what it was and traced the wiring back to the siren within a few seconds of opening my bonnet, (with no prior knowledge of security systems) so I felt it was a bit amatuer ...

Re: Virgin Challenger

Writeup on torsion bar adjustment here: m The more you adjust the ride-height at the front, the more you should get a wheel alignment done afterwards. Wow! Thanks heaps. I am going to do this and give myself another inch or so at the front, to balance out the rear. I'll just have to set some money ...

Re: Virgin Challenger

If it's already riding high at the back, you should definitely adjust the front to match - this will give you slight ramp-over improvements, and a slight clearance advantage under the front diff. And it's FREE. Just keep an eye on the top bump-stop to make sure there is still room for the wheel to ...

Re: Virgin Challenger

Wow. 3-4 inches of lift sounds pretty extreme, it already rides fairly high at the back, if anything I'd be looking to lift the front to match. I can get new springs etc through some of my contacts, my partner works in the automotive industry, so I can get them at cost but I would have to know alot ...

Re: Virgin Challenger

I dont want to spend too much or affect my resale as my priority for the next year or so is to get this thing paid off and save for a 4wd Ute. This vehicle is actually an unsceduled replacement for my much loved Nissan Terrano which was stolen and burnt out, and my dream is a Ute so I dont want to ...

Virgin Challenger

I have recently aquired a 1999 mitsubishi challenger, 2.8 diesel. It is a definite virgin, I have had it up on a hoist and been all over it and I see no sign of it ever really being used offroad. I would like to start making a few improvements. It is my daily runner so i dont want to go nuts and ...
