Hey, how did you do/attach your skid plate? What about other underbody? Do you have any pictures?

[mc68]

ok, sorry i forgot about this thread, the car took a turn for the worst.

A few days after the picture i posted above, (which you can see, doesnt have any seats in it!) I competed in the biggest event of the year, a national round. I was winning my class for two stages, by the end of the second test, it had kept jumping out of gear. With a big 'Fuck it' attitude at the time, I kept driving it...

30km back to service after that stage (which was about 27kn itself) i could smell smoke, i asked my nav if he could, he said "bushfire i reckon" i told him this bushfire was following us...stopped on the side of the rd...the whole gbox had dropped its oil out of the shifter pressure detents/stoppers (no idea what they are called, but the things at the very top and rear of the box, spring loaded and apply pressure when you got left or right with the stick)

Even being that high up, it had starved the box, got the car going again, got down a big hill, bumped it into neutral, and the car stalled with a huge painful noise...A near new trd gbox had quite literally melted together, 4th gear, 5th, 3rd, 2nd all ruined..even the housing was a throw away

SO, after kicking the door in on the side of the transport stage, i had to miss out on the next rally because the car had no real gearbox in it, and had the save the obscene amount for another flash gearset....

navigator lost interest by that stage, and what i said earlier;

so, a couple of months went by till i could have enough money to compete again, in the meantime i did khana crosses with a very old and tired standard gbox

never happy with a perfectly running car...i decided it wasnt handling to my liking...So we rose jointed the control arms, 3.5 degrees of camber, 7 degrees of castor...



mirror tint


new trip metre mount i made




went for abit of a play with the car... No rear sway bar, stiffened the front shocks, very stiff front sway bar...huge, huge Difference, the car is completely new, and it squats so hard now ...but the trd solid rubber tops didnt like being twisted so much..











see by the plates why the car is called jumbo dan?
