4X4 buggy coming soon
Andy42 - June 8th, 2004 at 07:38 PM

i was at a place today which is right into making kit cars and they were showing me pics of the plug they are making a mould from to use on a Suzuki chassis. It looks much what I think is the Kalita if that is the one which has the wedge shape front. Anyway should be an awsome thing when it is done. Oh will be fully regoed as well.

Why would you do a Kalita ? Yuk .


wibble - June 8th, 2004 at 10:24 PM

the short wheel base, tee top kalita was very cool, awsome aproach angle, it comes down to a personal taste (I prefer Manx's by far!) but the more new buggy products on the road the better!
Andy is this a Yatla product???

The range rover based bushrangers are very cool if you want a 4WD buggy.

this pic link prob won't work properly

yes John Davis has done well with the Bush ranger...................big $$$ though


Andy42 - June 9th, 2004 at 04:53 PM

Yep wibble it is a local product. Well local to me anyway :thumb And yeh maybe some will think it is ugly but shit I reckon it will kick ass of the bitumen. Besides what is better then an ugly car that pisses all over the pretty ones.

Hmmm. Long range Kombi tanks. Interesting. Any more info on this?


Andy42 - June 10th, 2004 at 04:09 PM

No pics of the new buggy released yet as it is still in build up stage.
As for the long range tanks obviously you have been talking to brad and that model tank is to expensive for either of you:P:P


Andy42 - June 11th, 2004 at 05:55 PM

Ahh my apolagies to brad it was not him giving my secrets of long range Kombi tanks away but another person I know. And wibble you taught me all I know about fitting them:P:P:P


Brad - June 11th, 2004 at 09:27 PM

man you call using tech screws to fit a boat tank onto a kombi ute traying fitting.... guess thats why you are a boiler maker and not a fitter .....

Hi

Has anyone seen the 4WD show on Channels 31 TVS? The winch challenge is awsome.

I have just finished my new off roader .I sat back & looked what was out there & did this

Sold my new $55,000 toyota 4x4
pissed off all my vw buggys , no room for the gear needed with two kids & wife that needs 20ltrs of water to wash the kids

I purchased a gx liberty wagon 1991 series 2 4x4

removed all the drive line ( ej22 4x4 duel range gear box )
Made a 75mm body lift kit , fitted 2wheel drive sedan rear struts with king springs , front 96> 11th 98 out back front struts on king springs , 215 x 70 r16 mud & snow tyres
purchased a RS turbo front cut from Japan , its an auto with manual select , air con power every thing .rear diff plated LSD from a wrx fitted a 316 ss system ( made it all my self ) list goes on .

all for less than it costs to buy a manx ( under 6k )

the motor has done 85,000ks and runs mint .

goes like 40 basteds as well

Others here have done the same
