Mate, the Landcruiser/Patrol/Prado mob just don't know what mud is in 99.9% of the cases. People often stare at things they have not seen before!

Thats so very true Rally.
And could you imagine what they'd do if they did take them offroad & got any mud on their cars, they'd just freak out & poop themselves I think :poke: :lol:

There are 2 ways to get your car dinged, car parks or bush 'pin stripes'.
It never ceases to amase me how many people just prefer to wait for the car park dings, rather than to have fun in the bush! :raspberry:
 
Had to rewire a new relay for my driving lights. A wire had snapped and when I pulled the relay out, the supply tab broke off and the relay cover popped off! So decided to relocate with another relay and associated rewiring.
 
Nothing exciting. Took the '05 for a run to Wollongong on Thursday for a bike ride. Handled the trip very well (including a wet, foggy run down Mt. Ousley Rd!) Whilst down there I managed to spot one of these: (I believe they are on sale in the US already, but technically they haven't been released here. Looks good, even though it's not a massive difference)

Forester has behaving itself so I left it alone. Plugged the laptop into the Impreza and reprogrammed the launch control. Launch control now starts 500 rpm higher than before so now when you drop the clutch it doesn't bog down. Still need a bit of fine tuning- and the Haltech is pretty good at that.

So I went for a drive up to Kurmond on the outskirts of town. There is a BP servo just the other side of the river, and a car park just beyond that. The driveway out is a bit steep and at angle, so you are perched diagonally. I had the DCCD in auto mode, but I did not realise how much of the cars weight was only on 2 wheels. There was an initial wheel slip, then the diffs bit and i was away. But i did not get a chance to really investigate, but I think it will be a place I can possibly compare the new set up with the old. What would be ideal would be a standard car I can back to back test against. Then one could transfer that experience over to an offroad application.
 
I ordered an MY10 XT on Thursday in Newport Blue. Delivery this week :monkeydance:

I'll get better photos this week, but for now:

Only slight problem is that I won't be able to fit into it, and as a P Plater I'm not allowed to drive one, so for a few years now this is the closest that I'll be able to get to owning one!

Got towed home by the N.R.M.A after almost putting my foot through the firewall when my clutch pedal went bang, gave way & went straight to the floor. :furious:
So it's off to my mechanic tomorrow on the back of a tilt tray to be assessed & fixed. :sadbanana:
I had been up the Central Coast all day playing golf & it happened just 1km before I got home, so it could have been worse I suppose. At least it was close to home. :cool:

Hopefully hydraulic issue. Is there any fluid in the reservoir?
 
Please keep us informed. Sorry to hear.
 
Thanks Rally, will do.

What's that old saying, things happen in 3's ??
That was the 2nd major thing to go bad for me in the past week. :sad:
I'm just wondering what the 3rd thing is going to be.
