Need a Spot
injectors are Mitsubishi lancer evo 440cc
BUT! to use them you need a "collar" to fit into the standard inlet manifold
if anyone wants a set I can get some more?

I did a trip to lovedays 4x4 park and had an great time
conquered everything bare the far left hill climb and the mud pool
the mud pool would have been over my bonnet and it sits over 1100mm high!!!
the middle hill climb was a challange but do'able with the right line, but man!! the left looked scary it was steep with a high step at the top
SWB+girlfriends car+no brown pants= no go!!

I'm another Aussie exploring the Sportage way, though more amateur and low budget I'm sure. Next is bash plate and roof rack


Budget Backblocks exploring

going to be selling stuff soon
I have a Facebook page 4bfun that will have all the details
soon

Anyway, just so everyone knows this car has a lot more developed than what you have seen.As I get time I will update it more.

late 2012 after driving the car and loving its awesome ability, I decided to take the next big step S.A.S (solid axle swap)
I installed a ln106 hilux rear diff with 5.71 ratio gears

Being one of the most extreme Sporties in Oz (and the world I guess!), I'd love to hear any updates or see some video of this awesome beast!!
