Looks like you've got 10 spline diffs and half-shafts. Be careful with those.

I'm not convinced your colours compliment each other TBH.

There not meant to

They were free and they tidy it up so that's all that counts. Never had an issue with the diff's tbh, think there's an Uprated one in the back but they've been good so far (touch wood).

Looking good. When are you going to finish the painting??

As soon as we get a weekend of nice weather I'm on it lol

If you buy a new CHRA from melett let me know if you have any problems with it, not that they should be as I work for them.

Cheers for the heads up pal.

There's that many people breaking them round me that 2nd hand ones a pretty cheap which at the minute is the only viable option for me. I think if I were to buy new then I'd go hybrid

Whatever anyone says, this looks epic in those colours. Looks purpose built and definately the part. Keep it up!!

Looking good, and glad there ain't a " one life live it" sticker plastered across it :p

more muddy action shots now

Off green laning round Matlock Sunday so I'll get some more pics lol.

No stickers going on here, not even the "you can go fast I can go anywhere" ones

All one colour

2 coats later

And done!

Next off-road mod. Get a lower profile rear tow-bar. Removable is good. The factory item is a plough.

Thought about it but I tow a trailer now and again and its never stopped me yet lol

Mine hasn't stopped me either. But it's carved some serious trenches. I want to make a square receiver type which is tucked up further under the bumper. Just one pin to add/remove the hanging tongue when necessary. The Aussies can buy them off the shelf for a reasonable price. I'll have to make one.

Left the disco alone today and brought the kids a quad

BUT I broke it drifting in the mud before they could get a go!

Oops

Disco is going up for sale, fancy a new project

That didn't last long.

They normally don't

Hello SNH!

It looks like had a lot of fun with your off roading while it lasted. Some pictures looked like you were treating your disco like mud submersible

What is next on your agenda?

It was fun

Just got the other half a mk2 Octavia vrs and I've done a deal on the disco for a car, 3 bike trailer and a bigger quad for the kids so that'll keep me entertained till after my hols then I'll be looking at getting a decent 250cc moto x bike

If all goes to plan there maybe another drifter later on as I fancy a 540 v8 bmw

Mate, I am well impressed by your levels of energy and your drive enabling you to do all those projects! Keep us posted as this is well entertaining and informative as well. Be carefull with kids and quads, those machines are mighty treacherous and difficult to control and have a rep for hurting people badly...

They've had a 100cc auto quad for a while but the new one is a bit bigger and at the moment is powered by a 120cc 4 stroke semi auto engine. Currently on the look out for a 175cc 4 stroke engine or maybe a 125 2 stroke moto x engine

Maybe I'll do a project thread on it lol.

I get bored easily so like to swap and change all the time, much to the wife's annoyance

That's probably the reason why the new vrs is hers and not mine.

That is a splendid decision with vRS - otherwise, but know, we would have the first turbine powered vRS in UK

As for the engines, get honda GX family four strokes. Cheap as chips (especially Chinese knock offs), cannot kill them, MASSIVE amount of knowledge and cheap performance parts and range is good as well - from GX120 to GX360. The number is capacity, all four stroke, single/twin cylinder motors. Widely used in karting.
