Thread: Bits that make up a Freelander ...

And hers was the only car to see a spanner all weekend


whoops that was surposed to be

Her car was the only truck NOT to see a spanner all weekend

I have been in contact with those guys for a while. I was intending to just use the plastic undertray as a template for some heavy allloy plate and get some brackets welded to the heavy aluminium frame. Simon Shirely who I think you know from the Freelander club sent me some mods that will give me a 2" lift without changing springs etc - it is just longer higher tensile bolts,nuts and washers for the top of the suspension - acts like a spacer and apparently the increased angle for the CVs is not a problem. Harvey G (who I also think you know) has an ECU mod that gives a lot more torque at 2000rpm when the turbo comes on line so that will help offset the lack of a low gear - not sure of the cost though.

So how is the trip going - I suppose you are back on the east coast by now.

Well.... If you're talking to those guys, they'll be able to sort you out.

Yep, we're in the Hunter Valley at the moment and will be in Newcastle for the weekend. Pity I didn't look at your location as we were in Canberra over the weekend. Next week we'll be in Sydney and then heading back to Melbourne before heading off to NZ.

BTW - I noticed a very early Freebee (XEDi I think) while down by the art gallery. It was chassis no. 945 and had the black door surrounds which means that it was one of the pre-production models. (It was probably the 1st Freebee to enter Oz.)

Mark.
