Ahhh ok sweet yay

[SierraDan]

It sounds like you need a manual...

[Bennyzarb]

Na I keep blowing them up and would much rather an auto on rocks and wombat holes my setup with the brass button clutch doesn't help heaps it jumps alot I am keen to get this auto tho then I will stop speeding around to

[atari4x4]

why would you fit a brass button clutch to a 4wd, it's not a race car!!!!

here is 2 words for you: mechanical sympathy

[Bennyzarb]

Hehe was sick of it slipping with the big wheels and got it cheap it is actually really good no slippage at all you can rev it up and dump it and it will just spin clutch will grab no matter what but it is a bit annoying in traffic and at lights you have to have the right revs or you will stall it but it really good I love it but I would love a auto more for off road it would be so good

[SierraDan]

Riiiiight.

[shep]

Haha can't fix the gearing but wants to fit a auto. This thread is awesome

[JrZook]

Won't be able to "dump" without destroying ya auto bra. Sounds like you need a double button clutch for your driving style man!

[atari4x4]

hahahahaha, i get it now... it's school holidays

[Bennyzarb]

Na just won't dump will just cruse around I was just seeing cause of the terrain I will be driving I will need to smash the peddle every now and again and need it not to change up a gear and in comps if i get stuck I will at least give the croud a show


And when I race I will need to really punch it I am going to see what my 1/4 mile time is
I am a hoon :/

[SierraDan]

Need a drift car broooo

No point trying to change criode 4.88 centers and axles carnt get much better 5.29s are just to weak and suck as a high pinion seen to many brake
And carnt get lower than 6.5s without going twin hilux or atlas but that's to many $ I think auto is the best way I still get my low plus I carnt speed now as long as it does 80kmh I'm happy

I am getting my auto this weekend is there anything I should do to it while it is out ?

[Bennyzarb]

Yea I was looking at rx7 turbos but I will definatly kill myself

[atari4x4]

New clutch release bearing.

[jono165]

While its out I'd replace the vacuum modulator if there's signs of trans fluid in the vacuum line, I think there's an o ring at the base of the dipstick tube which commonly leaks and the detent cables sometimes do as well. May as well replace the filter in it while its out too.

[Bennyzarb]

Ok sweet thanks I will do all that

Ive seen 5.29's go through more punishment than your car could ever dish out.

[Bennyzarb]

Probably but not spending more money on gears after auto I am going 6 shooter knuckles and different suspension setup

[jimnynutter]

You arent 4wding by the sounds of it.

You are REDNECKING.

[SierraDan]

What?

[jimnynutter]

Everything he has said regarding his driving style, says he has no clue how to drive just throws money at it until his truck makes it up the hill no driving skill required in a credit card build up.
Balls to the floor driving just breaks stuff and damages the tracks,
I'm not in any way a greenie but the thing I bloody hate is people like you who think 4wding is point and shoot and flog your car with no mechanical sympathy and destroy tracks making the government close them down.

Word of advice, join a proper 4x4 club with recognized driver training instructors and learn how to pilot your car properly FFS !!

[atari4x4]

it's Bennyzarb, he needs 37's to drive the stuff SierraDan drives on 31's

[Fatzook]

I agree that overly exuberant driving can negatively impact tracks, but you don't know him, have never been wheeling with him, and obviosly haven't seen what the Victorian terrain offers up. Just about every vid I've seen on Vic wheeling has been long steep slippery muddy tracks, which would be impassable 9 months of the year without sinking the boot in.

Modding vehicles is a different experience for everyone. Just because you don't agree with the path he has taken doesn't mean you should be so hateful.

Maybe you had a shit day at work, or a few too many drinks, but as misguided as Bennyzarb comes across, he is still here for the same reason as the rest of us.... to learn.

I think Dan may just be a particularly good driver. Lots of seat time doesn't hurt either

Thought zarb was Dan's bum buddy from NSW?

[SierraDan]

Hes one of them Sydney homo's yeah.

[jimnynutter]

Yeah Fatzook.
Fair point.

Shit day at work yesterday,

My apologies.

[Gwagensteve]

From the sounds of Bennyzarb's set up- (Big, stiff tyres, button clutch and a GTi, SWB) it would be making easy tracks look hard.
