Just an update on progress so far... We have a shipping date of March 11th so all the outstanding work needs to come together pretty quick now. One of the OBC competitors who lives and works in Sydney has been volunteered to get the vehicles sorted for us before we arrive. Hopefully he'll manage to ...

For springs I'm going to give Lovells a go on mine, probably with Pro-Comp shocks.. although I might try one Lovells and one Pro-Comp on each corner. Maddisons sell Lovells springs in the UK and they come with a 5 year warranty. I think I'm right in saying that BM blues are also made by Lovells alth...

Club events 2008
I've posted the provisional list of events for 2008 into the Club Events and Gatherings forum. I'm sure some of the dates/venues will change but hopefully this will give you a rough idea. I've created a new forum for events and gatherings that aren't run by the club. Unlike the Club Events forum, th...

No idea on the engine/spares etc... no reasonable offer refused. I used Land Rover packs because I know exactly what vehicles they are fitted to and the HT leads don't use odd ball connectors. Originally I bought a set of Britpart HT leads that I used to get it up and running then changed to Magneco...

The one thing that constantly surprises me about Megasquirt is just how easy it is if you take a methodical approach. I'm about to do my 6th Megasquirt conversion, the biggest problem with Megasquirt is deciding which of the 1001 different options to use ! I have a 3.9 engine complete with toothed w...

It's been a while since the last update, mainly because, since getting it back on the road, I've spent most of my spare time either tuning the engine or preparing the vehicle for it's first real off road outing since the transplant - the Steve Maddison 3 Peaks Challenge in Ireland. It was a bit of a...

They seem to be pretty bomb proof as far as electrics and electric welding go. I normally disconnect the battery because I have a cut off switch to do it for me :) The main thing is to make sure your earth clamp has a good connection and is as close to the welding area as possible, that way you're v...

It passed it's MOT :) Initial impressions, I need a higher ratio transfer box ! Gearbox settings need fine tuning, especially at lower speeds 0-35 MPH is jerky with the gearbox constantly changing gear for some reason, it also kicks down way too early for such a powerful engine - I swear I span the ...

An early finish today ! First job this morning was to try and get the in-car PC running so that I can start tuning it on the fly. After fitting the screen and running the necessary wiring I found myself in a catch 22 situation, the USB flash drive that I have all the ECU software loaded on draws too...

Got a few more jobs ticked off the MOT list today. Got the fuel pump and filters fastened, finished off refitting the fuel tank cover and then emptied all the items that I've thrown in the back during the build. Put the spare wheel in the back and fastened it down so everything behind the cab is rea...
