    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....

    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? 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!

    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! 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...

    The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
    The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈
