Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've seen both combo's (in the same shed) behind V6's and there's basically nothing in it.
Might be the difference in the bellhousing adaptor also.

And it's someone you know, so i'm not full of it.

It's really only the extension housing that makes the T700 longer than a C4.
If adapting, it doesn't make much difference.....altho that depends on what adaptor is used, as some are longer than needed.

So straight from your reply, they are only suited to high speed events.
Which is also when you don't need as much articulation.

illegal to dump both sides
only drivers side dump.

you may need to translate a little better, but are you asking for opinions and pics of the dobinsons 6inch (15cm) kits?

I don't believe the scene is big enough here in Oz for anyone to specialise in buggies alone. It isn't the states with a scene atleast 10 times ours with alot more financial support to back it up, to keep shops open that only specialise in buggies.

If your asking where to get a buggy built, then it ...

Bad debt is an issue that will plague any business.
The 4x4 scene is actually quite small, and word gets around quickly....and just look at how many 4x4 shops etc have gone under through various issues of management/product or demand.

You guys have a great idea/concept.
BUT, it will never work if ...

I couldn't imagine there would be short supply on proven drivers for the rigs.
The issue would be coming up with the funds to have the rigs waiting for drivers.

If the current rigs are as profitable as you state, maybe that may be an option for some people or companies with money to write off on ...

The current crawlers look great and certainly serve a purpose, and can obviously turn a profit. Obviously they have been reliable trucks that have held up the the abuse very well apart from as stated, a few diff issues.

What company/Who built the original trucks?
Why not use them again if its a ...

a quote from Blacktown local rag:
Cars which are not approved will not be able to pass their rego and motorists could face fines of up to $7700 for driving an uninsured vehicle.

I guess they are stating the worst case scenario of some idiot driving a vehicle now unregistered because its not legal ...

might be worth less than expected without an engineers report.
petrol or diesel?

zagan i think you need to re-read the regs.
nearly all of what u have written above is incorrect.

Trim height variance is based on the standard vehicle and how much it changes..........nothing to do with how tall they are from original.
Variable airbag setups are illegal also if you READ the ...

What Ferrari have u ever seen lowered 15cm from standard???

As for Hotrods, as has been mentioned, its more than suspension.
My thoughts were that suspensions are set up in the chassis and didn't need lowering etc etc, but the other aspect is the trim height. the ody height and headlight positions ...

I'm talking about vehicles in general, 4wd or other
It could be done in a daily driver if it came down to it.....its to get noticed and show how many people it affects, not to show off the defectable vehicles.

As I say, nearly every car club or people in the sales/manufacturing side of the Auto ...

If we want them to take notice, all we have to do is what the truckies do.....
a blockade.
Every person involved in cars, car clubs, the automotive industry etc etc is affected, so surely if we organised to block each major city for a day, they would take notice?

more effective than an online ...

In what year do you think they started to keep records of trim heights?
probably only vague records for any pre 70's vehicle.


and what now happens to re-bodied production vehicles?
a couple that come to mind are hotrods on a Jap ute chassis, or even AC Cobra's on the old toyota crown chassis ...

I finally realised what the lowering by 150mm that is to be banned is about. They just effectively banned hotrods as well.


I dont believe this to be correct.
A hotrod chassis has componenets or suspensions swapped into it that were not original. They are normally set up in the ...

make sure there's no shit in the system.
many many yrs ago, rebuilt the master on a car, all went well.
went cruising that night, halfway through the nite the brakes when applied would lock on, and take forever to release.
tow hom etc, next day found a tiny bit of old rubber in the line, so totally ...

just to clarify "my" situation for you
nothing broke.
but became unsafe to drive.
to the point i had to buy a daily driver.
the warranty i refer to is more on components, fitup, setup and service etc.

and its not so much about my situation, but more the topic of a shop versus someone else......not ...

I'm sorry, do shops have warranty on custom work???
seems if they do, they don't hold up their end.
So its no different to a backyarder

I'm sure I'm not the only one with a bad experience......from one of the shops mentioned.

had a factory HEI on a warm chev that was in a 4wd for bout 3yrs and then in a hotrod for another 2.5
Never had any drama's apart from a cracked cap at one stage.

4wd got driven hard n thrashed offroad
hotrod got thrashed even more, and never an issue (driven every day, rain hail or shine......well ...

alot of cars have had vents rather than scoops to release the heat.
they were normally located near the rear of the bonnets on the sides.

turbo eg. the old Ford Sierra's at Bathurst

an AU v8 should still be the normal Windsor bellhousing, therefore you can use a C4 tranny, which there are adaptors for.
and that way you aren't trying to adapt the electronic box

even with a gas tank, it should still be able to be routed as per original.
mine was on gas with 2.5inch system and fitted.

if i read correctly, are u trying to fit it over the top of the gas tank and out the back between the body and the rear bar/step....since u have agap from the body lift etc ...

depending on your vehicle setup....buy some air over coil-overs.
normal coil over with air bags on top.
have seen a few variations on this also.

but Mal's bushrangie runs them....must work ok, it's won tuff truck

once u get used to the shifter, you'll be surprised how quickly u can learn to get to reverse.
just look at events like summernats, Kandos etc with the street machine guys doing grass events with reverse.....done it myself.

other than that, there are some with a dual pattern.....upper like a normal ...

thats a good way of doing it.......if u wanna put the converter in dry.
most people tend to half fill a converter first to prevent a dry start up.

make sure the converter is all the way in.
from memory they step up twice

if its not located properly, it will load up
the box should slide right up against the block without having to pull it up from the bolts

he never said it was legal.

no different to any other vehicle that goes over what is approved or legal.
might be someone running a 35" tyre when only legal with a 33" or might be a street car runninga rim an inch too wide. Still the same, and you run the risk with any of it.

How many 4wd's you see ...
