Hello Together,

Thanks to Will, who inspected the car for me today in Melbourne, I purchased a D2 :-).

Seems to be in good condition and most moods already done

So far car has:

4 inch suspension lift by Les Richmond Automotive.
33 inch Cooper Muddies
TMJ Front bull bar
Lightforce GXT Spotlights
Ashcroft Rear diff locker
ARB compressor
Heavy Duty Rear Axels
Dual batteries
GME UHF Radio
3 inch exhaust
Bruce Davis - Performance chip and after market intercooler
Upgraded front drive shaft
Cargo barrier

Will pick car up next week

Definitely will put some rock sliders and under body protection on asap
any suggestions?

Cheers

Steve

To add to the list:
Turbo Timer
BIG intercooler
NO oil leaks from the engine
Boost controller
Bilsteins front, Konis rear
Nice tight driveline, no backlash
Intact roof lining
Extended diff breathers
Airtec snorkel
DVD kit
Boost gauge
Black cloth interior

It's made me REALLY want to get the black interior, would look great with my black roof lining

WOW.... someone has spent a lot of time working all that out!

Bloody brilliant..... as long as you're like me and don't often have a need for the back seat

Certainly sounds like a ripper vehicle however you should be aware that Turbo Timers are not legal in Victoria. It may well fail it's RWC with it in. Also not too sure on the 4" lift. If you have an engineers certificate you'll probably be ok but the new rules on lifts etc are very strict.

Look forward to seeing you on the tracks with it though

It's going to NSW next week, so rego will be sorted there. May have to remove the lift etc. for RWC. I'm sure Steve has factored that in.

If you're trying to engineer the lift in NSW, the LR kit is certified in Vic, so it may tfr to NSW, but do not mention ACE (if fitted) as they class it as an Electronic Stability System and any lift is illegal with those apparently, but lowering isn't.

No ACE, thanks for the info...

(FYI, the OP is the purchaser, I was the inspector...)

will get Davies Performance here in Sydney to sort out blue slip and registration apparently Les Richmond lift is engineered so will see what I need to do to get it registered and ideally also engineered here in NSW

**clubagreenie** · 18th August 2013, 06:57 PM

I had a massive argument with an engineer about ACE, ESP's have integration with the braking systems as well as other stuff in the vehicles that it's fitted to. ACE is simply a body levelling system for lack of a better description. Doesn't matter a jot to this idiot who couldn't provide a description of how ESP worked, I had to tell him and explain the difference. Make it taller make it more unstable and for some reason a system that compensates for instability couldn't cope with instability.
