    Another V8/Engine thread Wahey!

    I'm in agreement for a change Stick in a 200tdi as that will give good mpg with good torgue But also fit a 5 speed lt77 gearbox with either the series transfer box or upgrade the axles as this will give good mph

    confusion RE brakes.

    Becarefull that you don't over rate the brakes Yes the bigger drums and wiser shoes will give better stoping but what might happen is everytime you hit the brakes you may lock up all the wheels and start sliding Was the s2 military or anything ?
