Brothers new toy

[Reads90]

This is my brothers new toy
It is a TMC land rover 100" speaical its a 340bhp 5.3V8 race developments engine on a 3 speed auto
Plans to race it around uk and then bring it out here in a couple of years when he moves here to live and do the Australian Safari in it :)

Here is a vid of it on his first test of it. He said he did not give it all here as at the moment if you plant it as it scares the s**t out of you

Very Nice :D

Looking at it, I don't think even in Ol Blighty it was reasonable cost.

Got to love the sound of a race bred V8. Lucky bugger.

[dullbird]

[RonMcGr]

Now that would pull a Caravan with Ease :D

[dobbo]

Now that would pull apart a Caravan with Ease :D


Totally agree, best thing to do to a van of shame.

my brothers one used to race against that truck but his was in a higher class as it has a bigger engine and is faster :o:):) which is why the year after this britart bought a TMC like my brothers

Here are the vids of their 2007 truck

5.3 race tunned V8 TVR engine Turns out 340BHP at the wheels :)

:oVERY VERY NICE!!!

[Landy110]

Can he bring a couple more with him, for close personal friends!:D

Looking at the red 90 ute made me giggle.... there is a saying in Rallying when you have lack of HP...... Hold it flat and only back off to slow down.....

I need to dig up some vids of my old Rally car and my driving style....

I know video does not do the speed of things justice..... but the Red 90 was not that fast....

[justinc]

I also noticed that the choice of wheelbase is important, 100 or 110" would be a lot more stable under acceleration in a straight line, and did you see it 'bucking' it's way through the forrest:o? Even with what looked like 4 Bilsteins at each end! Did anyone else pick up the motor bogging down until the cam came in? A Wrong gear selection would eat time during a special stage in mud or sand. For a 5.3 litre engine I would expect a little more flexibility?
Still, Great vid, fantastic sounds, and makes me want to get motivated with the Mig and some Tube...

90" is too short I believe. Directional changes may be easier at lower speeds, but sacrificing high speed stability and handling over bumps is not fun!:D

I have a chassis and bulkhead, a 727 TF and a 1.4:1 transfer case, all that is required to start making a lightweight decent, reliable and competitive 100/110, except for the TIME!:mad: And the decision as to what engine to fit?? Small block Chev? or a revvy and unbreakable 3.5???:(

Still, I DO need a hobby...:twisted:

The gear changes were at typical Land Rover pace too I noticed:D

The gear changes were at typical Land Rover pace too I noticed:D

Exactly the reason I'm going for a 'manualised' 727 TF.....We used one in a RR during the 1992 Aust Safari, the launching capabilities were fantastic, not to mention the fatigue factor. Think about the extra work req to gearshift through 11 hours a day of mixed competitive stages and transports, for 9days straight... I'd say your concentration levels wear down a fair bit after half this time. Physical exertion, even the seemingly little required to push in the clutch and shift the stick, adds up after a time and contributes to fatigue, which contributes to loss of concentration, which contributes directly to not finishing the event.:mad: The main reason I believe behind Brocky fitting power steering to a race car all those years ago...endurance.



---Then again, maybe I'm just plain lazy...:p:p

(If this works) here's an auto at work, occasionally bogs down a bit but otherwise sounds matched to the engine ok and probably not critical on a endurance event. Looks like BIG fun anyway, if I win the Sat night draw one day I'd love to give it a crack.
