Rego is the same as before and it still looks like it doesn't have enough windows ;)
The big question is did you tick the turbo box ?

Well said!

Love the targa brumby, what size lift are you running on that and did you have to trim the guards with those 28(?) inch wheels?

Cheers

Bugger me, I would have said 4 inch at the most. How's it handle up that high?

And while we're on this topic, whats the biggest set of wheels that'll fit without rear guard trimming on a 3 or 4 inch lift?

Cheers

It actually handles better than you'd expect. I bought the kit on a whim a few years ago for my white ute and then changed my mind. I was stalling on the racecar and I had the 30" tyres sitting there on 4 stud rims so I thought, why not? Now I wonder why I didn't do it years ago.
I've got used to driving lifted and poorly handling vehicles fast over rough terrain so take that into consideration. Others might find it spooky.

I doubt you could get away with any more than 27"s with a 3" lift.

Yeah I almost got strangled by a uhf mic lead and I think Jim nearly ended up a human paddle pop stick with a gear stick where it shouldn't be.

Finished the wheelarch trimming today. Had to take more off than I thought but the tyres don't rub anywhere now. I'll put some photos up tomorrow.

Tyres still just touch under maximum compression :(

My new custom front brake lines arrived so I put them in and now I finally have brakes.

Image

Instead of just lengthening the top of the gearstick like I normally do, I tried a different approach and extended both the gearstick and linkage 4" so that I would still have a short throw. Probably went a little far (as usual). Next time I'll try 2" and see how it is. Obviously makes gear selection stiffer as there is less leverage.

Image

Playing around in a creek. Amazing where this thing will go. It would probably flex better without the front HD Kings but I left them in for the 6 cyl conversion.
Also be better with some lower gearing:)
