Been a while since I have updated, so this is what has happened in the last couple of months

Have the twin turbo motor tunned and ready to go in the buggy. Have about 120% more power :shock: than the standard V6 it has in it now, so I thought I may have to do some more mods to the buggy to handle the extra power and get it to the ground. :think:
So I upgraded the uni joints and tailshafts from the commodore to Toyota landcruiser. Changed the rear drum brakes with disc and fitted bigger rear Tyres and fitted a stage 2 shift kit in the auto
Our next race is at new years but I won't have the new motor in it by then as I have done a rear main oil seal :( in it so am going to strip it down and give it a freshen up before it goes in the buggy

Well who would have thought it would be to wet for a mud derby :!: :cry: but the easter mud derby has been canceled to to to much rain :sad2: The track is under about 12 foot of water on the dry sections :shock: and I don't have a big enough snorkle on the buggy or me to keep above the water :D
But not all is lost we have decided to take all the buggies out to the speedway track saturday night and torch a few tyres for a bit of fun at the 1/2 time break. :driving:
This will also be a good test to see if I need to beef up the drive train any more as it hasn't had a real load test yet with the new engine in it yet
