Miss Daisy's Punishment

[Homer]

Nice results fridgie

Now I have to decide whether to trade in my ChipIt an get the MRT or spend the money on the Harley

C'mon mate, they might sometimes need a chase car but they ain't no land rover...

[fridgie]

Drove to goldy for work today, almost hit a car merging as didn't realise how quick I was accelerating

Economy seems to have improved too normally would sit around the 10.5-11l/100km for that trip and today sat at 10.1

Really looking forward to the drive to Sydney so I can get a better idea how she goes now on long distance runs.

[trouble]

Fridgie I get that economy with all my weight in the tub, canopy, barwork and larger tyres and a chip. 10.5 when towing my CT. just food for thought, but the numbers are impressive!! re the gains.

That may be the case mate, but at least it is MY triton

What's your driving style and what speeds do you sit at. Daisy is either out 4wding or sitting on 110/120 on the highway, if I stay around the 90/100 the economy improves but I just can't go that slow

as the government says "high speed, low IQ"

Naff for the love of beer, now is not the time to mention that time coming back from LCMP with me over-taking and saying over the two way hey i just got up to XZY speed overtaking 3 cars dohhhhhh

Be very interesting to see how she goes now. Are you still running standard boost?

[fridgie]

Sahara bar is in stock, now just waiting for colour coding and I can pick it up

[fridgie]

I think it's running 18psi boost, , don't ask me technical questions about my engine!! I have no idea

hope daisy hasn't faded much, else she'll have the blues?

open the bonnet and look behind the airbox. is there a new piece of equipment in there?

[fridgie]

Yeah mate, found that last night when at the pub (someone had to ahow me though )

[snowman]

if you have standard exhaust you are probably running up to 19PSI.

bigger exhaust and you can go to around 24PSI without big EGT temps.

group buy on a Scott Rods exhaust mate.......

Typical ARB now not getting bar till after new year

How long you reckon it would take to fit? Gonna have to do it one night after work to have it for city view trip

[reeldreamer]

It could be worse mate! My car has been getting repaired from the crash and I had an ARB deluxe bar installed..... So they call me today and tell me that they got an MN bar in not an ML!!! They have fitted it but it has to go back in the new year to be changed! Now I can't fit my new spot lights or UHF antenna! And when I picked up the car the intercooler is leaking boost!!! Hopefully they can fix it tomorrow!!

yeah that could be the difference Fridgie as (you all know) the Mrs drives it most of the time and she changes gears around 2k and it rearly gets over 80kph unless I drive it or when we go away for a play.

But again they are good results.

[fridgie]

Any takers on a friday night bar fitment before the trip to city view???

I should have the bar no probs by then and really want it fitted for the run

[steve1961]

Hey fridgie,

As long as you can get someone to put the bolts through while you hold the bar you can do all the rest alone. The sahara bar isn't too heavy.

I fitted mine with only the help of MRS SEJ

Remember to leave the wheel arch flares a bit longer than the template calls for, about 10-15mm

I might be able to give you a hand mate. Will let you know.

[fridgie]

After the trip down south, I decided to grab a highlift jack seeing as the original is completely useless now. Came in handy while doing the sahara bar install last night

Big thanks to Kwyjibo and Pootrol for coming over to lend a hand although, seeing as we didn't finish, maybe starting with beers was a bad idea

Wow there is some gear in the box!!! Will do a write up later but here's a couple of pics for you

[ultimate]

The bar looks good mate

[fridgie]

It's not quite finished, but the sussy doesn't seem to have moved with it on Kyle was jealous

[Joe]

Looking good fridgie

[reeldreamer]

Looks shit hot mate! Just got to finish the underside plates i see! My suspension dropped considerably when they put my ARB deluxe bar on. It's in today getting constant load springs fitted to lift it back up again! Ironman threw me some new springs no charge which was sweet. Look forward to meeting you on saturday!
