i just realised that is just up the road i drive on kopuku rd to get to work

so if i do this i need a helmet hmm um i think i have one somewhere

I got a decent one you can borrow if need be

[tpft]

um, was out playing today and blew cv shaft too smithereen,s, outside of cv housing was cracked and distorted so much had too chisel it out.

so mad chase is on too fins a replacement, which is made harder because i,m not sure what diff it is,
guy i bought it off reckonned mazda 1600 with hilux axles????

[DieselBoy]

Yep, i would agree with that, its got toyota 6 stud hubs on it, so chances are its just a highly modified hilux axle. That was my guess when i was crawling around under it at the last couple of meets

Grab some measurements of the axle shaft, whats left of the cv joint, and especially spline counts, one of the toyota buffs will tell ya what toyota its off

[tpft]

see u know more about my truck then me!!!!
cheers, anyhing look loose under there?
pretty sure its mazda b1600 diffs though,, with hilux axles and cv,s.

think i got it sorted.
wouldn,t have thought 4age have the grunt to shrapenal a hilux cv like this though

transfer box is homemade with a hypo chain, always thought that would let go first.......................touch wood

it was a bloody good play day though, co driver (edge) set up some electric fence standards to practice my natural tendacy to drive over them.

think i need a v8 soon, real men drive 8,s

[wopass]

well its getting really close now ! hope the truck stays in one piece this time

weather forecast is for rain too ...which is good cos we need it but bad as im gonna get wet if it does might make it a bit less stressfull on the truck tho.....

RAIN YA BIATCH ! !

[xj]

ANYONE NEED A NAVVI?????

Ill be back from tauranga hopefully on sat night, but no way i can get my rear tow hook sorted between now and then.... damn new bar is causing some headaches.

[wopass]

ANYONE NEED A NAVVI?????

[wopass]

need to know asap as i have to organise another if not

[DieselBoy]

Trying to remember what was on my repairs list from that last round.

Think it was:

Replace Steering "J" link
Adjust rear brakes again
Clean carb again
Replace fuel filter
Fix hole in oil tank that i made by accident when i slipped with a stanly knife while modifying the air intake at the last round
Go find somewhere that has water so i can wash it after last time as well. There's only just enough to keep the bulls alive at home

The mission begins tonight

[tpft]

yep i can see a few sleepless nights, next night or two
could be worse.....could be spending "Quality" time with the missus

[spanky]

mine is all go , adj the brakes work well but not the best pedal.even washed it but had to take to town as my water is low as no rain since labour weekend . will load in morning and head off to mamarua on sat as not leaving home at 4.30am on sun,should be a good day .

Wopwop... im out man. not that Skids jibes had anything to do with it, really...... they didnt.

Seems we'll still be in Tauranga.

[mercutio]

i will be there but will just be watching

what is the deal with spectators anyway is there a admission fee or anything

[wopass]

Wopwop... im out man. not that Skids jibes had anything to do with it, really...... they didnt.

sweet as scardy cat

have nathan comming now,hes not afraid of a little action

[wopass]

well my brother has had to cancel due to being a pussy and wanting to sleep in on sunday morning

so...

i have a spare seat in the cruiser for a navi first in best dressed.... but who ever offeres to pay for gas will get preference

call or text 027 2705895 or post here to let me know.

[mercutio]

i just had an idea but it is a bit late so is probably a silly idea now besides i don't have one of the essential ingredients

was thinking about having a bbq at my place afterwards the only major issue is i don't have a bbq at my place and the house is a mess

do you have to have a navi for laurie sanson
for some reason i didn't think it was compulsory

[Rotazuk]

No a navi is not required .

If its close to home and you are free for the day come along and enter , think its only $5 , seems cheap . Anyway then you can come and watch and if you think its ok you can drive the hazzards you like and sit out the ones you don't .
Once you see it thou , doubt you will sit any out . Can be as easy or as hard as you want to be on your truck .

absolute mint day out, big UPS to the thames club for a good fun day.

and i diddnt break anything

[DieselBoy]

What he said!!!!!

Although a did break another rear axle and a couple of T.Case mounts. I had spares with me this time, and had it fixed and ready for the next hazard in just over 15mins

Looking forward to getting the "official" results for the day

[tpft]

What they said!!!

good event, ran pretty smooth, its our third trial now and learning all the time
couple "brain fart" (cheers diesel) moments when fell asleep right before a hill climb i think we were only ones not too climb.
and afterwards hitting the biggest climb of the day with about 5000 rpm then needed lol.

Thanks to the guys who rushed over and secured us to the hill.
in all honesty seeing spectators scramble out of the way before getting squished by purple bubble gum suzuki is kinda kool though,(happened last time too) gives them bit of excitement................and us

[lilpigzuk]

excellent day, lucky they did certificates before they realised there was a points adding stuff up
Some picks courtesy of Puddlejumper (scott) who had a bloody good day in his vitara

vaughan

[Rotazuk]

Only the fiddy could break an axle in the mud

Atleast he completed all the hazzards unlike me
