Burble, burble, burble, burble, burble, burble, burble, burble, burble, 4" of water, splash, splash, burble, burble, cough, cough, splutter, splutter, die, winch, winch, wait 2 hours, burble, burble.  ;) :D

[Disco-Ron]

I've never had noise level checked at an mot..... it's all down to the testers ear if they even think of it..... i suspect it'd have to be 'silly loud' for you to have any issues.....

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

front brakes done , rear calipers on and pads in just gotta run new brake line on the back axle at the weekend

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

steering wheel is finally on  :D :D :D :D and cold air pipe in place

[ben_haynes]

that is an AIR FILTER you div, a cold air pipe is a piece of pipe that allows cold air in

[boss]

sorry steve but dont see how is this mental...and in my books its not really a project.

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

would u think all my ideas are sane than boss. just know  locally as u still got that mental truck thats all. big disco 35s plus are extreme one in my eyes

[ben_haynes]

sorry steve but dont see how is this mental...and in my books its not really a project.

its mental because its not a corsa with all these mods on it

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

 :lol: but a mini with rover v8s are wacky

[Chris Putt]

So the point of the snorkel is what on this truck?

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

find a v8  air box  :lol: to seal it all up

[mobi]

how birght are your lights mate,

have you been stoped for it,carnt be legal can it

take a look there twice as bright as theis damm  the camera flash light

it all good saying that your back lights are bright enough, BUT YOU PAINTED OVER YOUR REFLECTERS, they're not on there for looks. :lol: :lol: and a mot fail.
and did you waxoyl your hub? it looks like it! if you did there is a chance the wheel will move then the wheel nuts may come loose and the wheel will come off, that might be a good thing [-X just don't take a innocent family when it does.

find a v8  air box  :lol: to seal it all up

Then the point of the K&N will be ?

[stuntman]

First puddle will clog that or any mud will destroy that. Mate I'm pretty laid back but seriously dude, this is begining to look like a bad advertisment for halfrauds.

You have a lot of enthusiasm and you can weld, why not do more fabrication instead of bolt ons?

No disrespect is meant, it's just getting a little 'silly'

Seconded, either do landrover, or do rudeboi, don't try and do both.

[boss]

in the defence of it all. a snorkel is a valid investment on a V8, dizzy cap gets splashed, big deal 5 mins with a cloth. water sucked through the air intake bye bye engine.

[GreedyGibson]

Snorkels are a very good investment but if you put a k&n air filter on they are uselless, If you then put the k&n filter in a sealed box the k&n is pointless.

[crazymac]

Exactly, how do you connect up a snorkel to a K&N??

If you have the proper air box with the K&N to fit that then fine, but with what Steve has fitted it makes no sense to fit a snorkel!

[DoubleTop]

there was at least one Disco at Abingdon with a snorkel fitted with a k&n filter, when I say snorkel I mean drainpipe as that was the construction of the persons air intake :)  Made a right noise in my eye it being about head height from where I was at the time.

im confused now. what has he done?

so that will be the rear winch mount and drop towbar  in the shed ive been making on and off along with the fuel tank guard

may keep the rear winch mount off till ive done a 60mm body lift next year hopefully

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

front brakes done , rear calipers on and pads in just gotta run new brake line on the back axle at the weekend

ah the gloss black centre hubs  :x damm im toying with the idea of mach 5 wheels or wolfrace with big brakes and seal covered red caliper, 40mm wheel spacers

running 285s road tyres

but the damm bank manger wont open a joint account with me  what a ....... ( jethro pun ) :lol: :lol:

[crazymac]

im confused now. what has he done?

steering wheel is finally on  :D :D :D :D and cold air pipe in place

If you look at this, he has no airbox and just a K&N filter fitted. The question is how does he plan of fitting a snorkel to this? As you know a snorkel needs to be sealed to protect the engine! without the airbox and the snorkel connected to it and sealed its useless!

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

thx to jake on all his imput on rear winch mounts towbar , not forgetting boss on threads too :D

i think the mount i ve will fit like turbonutters one
