How will this thing pass the pits? Do you have to get it engineered?

That's an insane idea but i bet the handling is better if not on road, off road for sure.

a maggot....hmmm i dont understand.

wasnt sayin his dad is doin bad work and wasnt meanign nething offecnsive by that just sayin being a member of the IAME wont help him with the cops.

i dont do nething i feel is unsafe for me with my car and a brand new rubber fuel hose will outlast this car so dont u worry bout ti breaking on me when it is onyl a return with not much running thru it.

tech screws are not in my seat they make for a painful ride if they were. they are holding very strong ont he rails tho.

bahahah tech screws..........my old mans a member and a mechanical engineer as well..and let me tell u it does help..not with the cops...but with the pits....not for you in this case caus u still learning but as you get older u make things stronger and more to the standards, the licencing centre knows when something is safe or not...lol...u already got told to stop being offencive on a number of occasions now i suggest you stop picking fights

my old man has looked at the brumby, and he is a registered motor trade engineer, structual engineer, marine engineer and metalurgy expert...lol.....if tristan wants a engineers report he can get one in 5 minutes and viola...no more issues

stop whoring my thread with useless ****

Question for 90brumby-: With regards to the installation of the Liberty rear diff crossmember, and taking into account the amount of body lift you have now, do you reckon that handling, ride and/or suspension travel have improved enough over the standard torsion bar trailing arm design to justify the effort?
In other words, do you think it's a mod worth doing?

i cant answer anythin bout handling or ride n stuff as i havent takin it off road or diven it properly on the road

1 of the main reason i did it was i had the liberty there , n 5 stud brakes from a RS turbo there for givin me rear discs aswell so as for handling n stuff im not too conserend bout but i do think it will b improved grately

update

my previous custom shafts turned out to b too short i have just got a impressa 1.6 manual drive shaft which is the right splines on both ends just gotta wrk out the length

i will b fittin the shaft 2morrow n if that fits i will b pullin the engine out to find out wats wrong with the clutch

90brumby · Post by **90brumby** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:50 pm

the other option i was think bout is that if the shaft is too long which it could b i might have to look at extendin the lower control arm and the rest of that stuff

I wonder what's happened to the old girl anyway - and what's tristan up to these days?

Cheers
