What are you doing with the ECU to keep it out of water's way?

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:39 am**

I will probably construct some kind of waterproof box to house it.
At the moment its just bolted underneath where the dashboard used to be...She aint finished yet (as you can see by the temporary wires everywhere) so obviously no water crossings just at the moment!

Maybe you could shoe-horne it into an old ammo box with all the wiring coming through one port thats also sealed up...

Maybe you can't , but its a thought...

Picked up some new shoes for WackyBug yesterday. It's obviously going to require at least a 4" lift kit and SUBSTANTIAL cutting of the firewall, extra bracing to compensate, relocation of the accelerator pedal etc....they are rather large....

Set of 5 BFG 33" Mud Terrains on 15" landcruiser rims

*note - it was a real bugger transporting them in an RX sedan!

Those tyres would look better on my patrol HAHAHA.

its gonna loook ridiculous with those wheels on it. in a good way tho- would be quicker to wack em on the monster wgn tho

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:32 pm**

Nah MonsterWagon is prolly getting 29's maybe 30's.
One thing about these 33's is they are bloody heavy! The unsprung weight of wackybug is going to increase a fair amount.

hhaha...shweeet andy t-mack.

as ya know, give us a bell if ya need a hand

Lol crazy large.

culd always put some Lseries control arms on the front thatd have to decrease the amount of chopping required. prolly almost to none.

So the combined weight of the wheels is going to be greater than that of weight of the wacky bug without wheels? Sounds like you'll be driving the moon buggy... Could help in keeping the car the right way up.

It could also help bog the car down in the wet stuff too...

Have fun with those. I still maintain that the WA crew are the craziest around on this forum.

Cheers
