I have a 92 model f300 feroza with a bunch of mods...
.winch
.mrt extractors and exhaust
.2" suspension lift
.snorkel
.235/75 r15 tyres on sunrasia rims
among other stuff
but the coolest one is the one I did the other week...
putting the engine out of a Detomaso Charade from Japland into the feroza...
the build is detailed herehttp://www.warfs.org/forum/15-mods-projects-a-builds/2829533-hd-e-detomosa-engine-should-pretty-much-bolt-in-right.html
hope this info seems usefull to some one.. I only stumbled across this NZ forum today what a gold mine

Callum that is WILD!!!! now I am a little envious..
yes I am from the sunburnt land.
the Detomaso engine is a daihatsu engine coded HD-EG it has the same capacity and same block architecture as a stock motor just better internals and more oomph... relatively simple to cert ... surely easier than callum's to get rego..
I met a guy today that has just put a 2.8 turbo diesel into one of those scats...
cool but nothing in the league of a 350 chev...WILD!!!!
