    Would it be sacrilege

    If I got my hands on an Ex military vehicle that had the 2.25p in it to drop the 2.25D into it?

    How can an agnostic refer to something as being sacrilegious?


    do it, with VSI50 coming up it would be stupid not to have a vehicle with a standard 2 inch suspension lift, strip Fossy and rebuild it on a mil spec chassis

    I found out something about that.....

    its not backwards enforceable on vehicles that don't require an engineering certification, is available as a fittable option on the base model or is a permissable modification under the relevent ADR's for the time.

    Basically if its old school its cool. and If its already engineer approved it should also be cool. If its against ADR's (I believe even if it is engineer approved) your screwed.

    so now I need to find me a IIA.

    But thats not what this thread is about.

    and Im not agnostic Im an athiest. actually having just re-read the two definitions I fit both.

    If you own you have the right to with it what you wish, Dave. Burn it upon a pire, if you so desire.

    Given that agnostics always live like atheists, the term agnostic is pretty well redundant. Whatever their belief, agnostics operate as atheists. For instance, you've never seen an agnostic Christian, or Muslim. The agnostic claims he doesn't know - that's what the word means - if there is a god or not, but then lives as though there isn't any. The atheist just says that there is no God and lives that way (most of the time). So the atheist is actually more consistent.

    I don't think it's sacralidge, from our information the army fitted diesels to a few that operated in sensitive areas anyway. Only a handful, but as engine conversions go, it would be a good one IMHO.

    No it won't be a sacrilege or a "sacralige"

    However in Ron's eyes the spelling of the word might be.

    having driven many many miles in a 2.25 petrol landy in my younger years, I would say anything to make it go better would be great.

    Cheers Keith
