Am I proud of myself..!!!!

WOW.....The car goes like S**T off a hot shovel.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Virtually no turbo lag, the acceleration in 3rd, 4th, and even 5th is out of this world for a lump like this. It's like a constant flow of power and boy does it sound sweet, LIKE A LARGE CAT PURRRRRING.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Now getting 460-480 miles to the tank.

No issues so far, MOT pass no issues, although I did leave Cat on till afterwards, "COWARD I KNOW"..!!!!


Would recomend these mods to anyone.
Many thanks to my Insurance Company for only putting up my premium by around £50.00. (Not too sure if I can plug on here..????).

Here's some pics as well, enjoy.

My Album has pics if cannot see here..!!!!

The problem you have though, after spending all that money, you are still left with a Gaylander.

Hmmm..?? That was the thing I obviously didn't learn off all these site is posting threads and then recieving insults..!!!!:doh::doh: The bloody government made me sell my TD5. I guess you can blame them for me turning a little more feminine in the car stakes.....Oh Well at least it's still a Land Rover..!!!!

Removed the VCU and Props.

SO, are you driving it in Mondo mode?

Sure am..!!! No issues so far. No dragging that hefty back side behind and no more growning on full lock..!!! Feels a lot lighter in the steering department and the only one issue, if you can call it an issue, is when pulling away turning out of a junction on a bit of an incline or when vcery wet, the front wheels are easy to spin. You have to be a bit more controling of the clutch..!!! Otherwise a much better drive. I have even still go off road over grass and divits and so far holding well. Managed up hill today on very frosty grass, no issues..!!!

WOW...... Sorry a bit winded:blabla:..!!! Short answer,,,,YES!!

Madness. A 4x4 that isn't.
