Bought her back in August 2013 as i live on a farm and hate to stereotype but I decided i must own a land rover! After lots of looking around I found a photo online of a highly modded gold disco and decided that's what i wanted (what a regret that turned out to be but more on that later) I will apologize now for the pic heavy thread. I like to take photos even though nothing much has changed!
Heres a photo of when i first bought it. A lovely thundering & Lightening Afternoon
Here she is a week later! got into a lot of trouble for leaving oil all over my dads newly laid car park!
Spent £450 on getting the oil leak fixed and decided i hated the thing! Start as you mean to go on and all that. But touch wood not had any more issues since November! After a bit of grumbling i fell back in love with the truck and went out and bought myself some Cooper STT tyres on some black modulars and set about making myself an offroad beast! Silly me bought them on disco 1 modulars. -_- so decided id take it offroading on my 18" hurricane alloys after all its a disco it wont get stuck! ha! not fun. 4 defenders it took to get me out.
After i finally got the truck cleaned off i got some disco 2 modulars for xmas and put them on. oh marvelous they dont fit (265/75/16) would appear my bumper wasnt straight and we tried and tried and it just wouldnt line up to allow me to turn left. Considered where i could get to with just right turns but that was limiting me! So went and bought a 2" lift kit and a nice trim of the lower bumper and there on!
Happy Kimmy!
After a month of that the new parts feeling wore off again so i went and treated myself to a straight through exhaust, she sounded well but god she was slow with these big wheels on. even after blanking off the egr.
Also i did a swift headlight upgrade to HID's & i flyeyed the rear lights along with fitting some pressed plates.
I went last week and got a big intercooler fitted, a boost box and a remap from Alive tuning in which my request of I want it to go as fast as it can and smoke as much as it can was greeted by a stunned Gary. Safe to say he delivered! Goes like a train now and deposits a nice cloud of smoke with every foot plant. Im lucky as its just a toy so mpg doesnt phase me. So as she stands now below!
Plans next:
Ive just ordered a 22" Cree LED light bar to replace the 2 wipac spots on soft A Bar, and ive just ordered a 52" Cree Curved LED light bar for the roof to replace the light bar.
And i am just in the process of choosing a garage to repray the truck in Land rover bali blue because gold is too bland for me
Any comments are welcomed!
