OMG that sounds bloody amazing. Its like a race car cycling up through the gears
Might have to get the engine swap done in the landy I think!
What are you doing with your old headers pete? I wonder if they can be adapted to fit a rover 8

Engine swap? What's wrong with the rover V8 Mike? I thought, for what it is, it got you through some pretty hard stuff in the mud plug last year!

Hey, if you want the headers, there yours. they're no use to me now.

Do it skid. You won't be sorry.
It sure is alot of fun on the road. Can't wait to get it muddy and stuck in the mud this winter though.

I don't like to brag (really).

But a couple of days ago some dick head over took trying to get ahead (coz i was just cruising) but then meet me at the next set of lights. I'd had a hard day looking after kids on these school holidays. Leaving the lights I wanted to break traction to let him know i was pissed off at his earlier maneuver. But it back fired. I ended up getting lots of traction and wheel standing from the lights.
I guess i was the one who had the worst manuver at the end of the day. But leaving the lights like that did give me the shits. I'm glad of that track bar now...it works. Nothing snapped.

[Petemcc]

I want to see a vid of that. that is awsome!!! Ive always wanted a truck that can lift the front wheels.

Sweet , next time film it

yup done that a few times now

it can't be good for the clutch though

had eyewitnesses tell me the front wheels were a half metre off the ground from a standing launch on the grass, lucky it wasn't my truck aye

Hey, if you want the headers, there yours. they're no use to me now.

I've got a 3.9 efi sitting in my bros garage waiting to replace the 3.5 Carbed. Take it from a wopping 135hp to 196hp about half yours i reckon

Seriously that 8 of yours sounds incredible pete. Last time I heard anything that cool was dodzees one but that was only because i was in it getting my brains sucked out (air intake in cab!).
Sweet I'll try and adapt them to the 3.9, hopefully try and get a note or two towards yours What sort of coin do you want for them

EFI is the way to go I recon. Good one! Once it's setup you could get the fuel mapping tweeked?
As far as the headers go. Once you know they fit or not we'll go from there Mike. I don't want much for them so I wouldn't worry about that. They should be available at the end of next week. I'll leave them at Ricks for ya.

[petefj40]

I'm up in Nelson at the moment. My mate is showing me some slippery tracks. Both of us had turns getting stuck. OH what FUN!

[skid]

nup, I don't believe it

that must be someone else truck in the pics

coz you would never take your shiny thing off the road Pete

[monaro427]

na it's not real a bit of cut and paste going on there with that mud in a can stuff sprayed on the wheels and side

Must be right Craig, I'm in Nelson and I haven't heard him around...

[PR]

Have you seen his ego
Or you can see if the ratings for coro street went up by 100% in Nelson

[petefj40]

yeah I know it's hard to believe. It's been a while since it's been dirty. But at least I'm able to have a go. Not like poor old niblik.
The hill we went up was Redwood Hill. I believe you local guys here in Nelson would know it well?

Top of the Moutere hills, drop down off the road into a bog at the bottom and a wicked hill climb up at the other end? neat lil play area that, looks like the bog has dried up a bit though, I haven't been in there for a while.

That's the one. That hill climb is wicked alright! Couldn't believe me mate getting to the top in his mitz on half worn 33's.

In the mud. So will I Paul!

But in a straight line on the road, sorry dude. It's, "CHEVY ALL THE WAY". 400 horses on tap will beat him everytime. And if he gets to close to me, I'll throw a blower on it and make 500 horses.

[turoa]

Lol, nibs truck probably wont be anywhere near any mud

[petefj40]

I beg to differ. I think once it's done (in 2010 or so) he'll be giving it the hell off road treatment!
(that's if there's any petrol left to run it)

[swampa]

someone should start up a new thread, " how quick is your car"
