Sounds to me like the poor guy's daddy either didn't hug him enough or hugged him too much. Nobody flips out like that unless they are have "I'm sad and have to be a dick to compensate" issues. If he really didn't care he would have just let it go and not bothered to post up. Every once in a...

Seriously do you think that it is that impressive you are a doctor? You really sound like an ass when you are unable to get a post out without mentioning it. Maybe get over yourself a little and a few problems at RR7 won't seem like such a life ending experience. They are raffle tickets...

There is an old racer's adige; "Speeds costs money. How fast can you afford to go?" There are a lot of ways to get more power, but what sort of investment are you looking to make? If you are looking to make a substantial improvement then I would start with the exhaust. No matter what you do...

I haven't heard good things about the Goodyears and I know for a fact the Nitto's wear very quickly. Check out the General Grabber AT2. I've been very impressed with mine. The are a bit hard to find ( which can be a pain), but The Tire Rack carries them online.

Not to pick on ONCR (really not even close to a "worst offender"), but I have noticed something that either amuses or depresses me depending on my mood. I live in Los Angeles. Land of the snobs and superficiality. I haven't bothered to lift my Disco yet because even the mud here is shallow...

Does anyone know if that can legally be done in the People's Republic of California? I'd love to switch to a TDI and slip the V8 into my MG. I was thinking puting the TDI in the MG would be great for torque, but I might be a lot of funny looks from pureists :drool:

Without going into things like weight transfer and polar moment of inertia, you basically will want greater tire pressure where there is more weight. In just about every car and truck (Rovers included. The numbers on the inside of your door are what your Rover [I]CAN[I] carry, not what it...

General Grabber AT2 255/55/18 I run about 43 up front and about 38 in the rear unless I'm heavily loaded. Then I'll add about 2 or 3 lbs (depending on outside temp) in the rear for every 100-200 lbs of extra weight. I know that is counter to the factory recomended pressures, but I've spent...

That reminds me. No offense, but what is it with some Rover driver's running significantly lower pressure in the front tires than the back. I had one guy insist that the best way to go is the factory recomended 28 front/low 40-something rear. That is .. a really bad idea. I understand why...

Make sure to stay out of puddles if they are hot! Drilled rotors are fragile.

I don't have any photos as of yet, but I am going to document it well and make the plans available to whoever wants them. I just haven't found any products or plans out there that do what I want and the stuff out there is WAY over priced.

Avoid the Nittos. i know a Nitto rep. and he fully admits they wear really quickly. Go for General's Grabber AT2. I've had them all over and have been really impressed. In Colorado on very wet trails with lots of mud I had no problem keeping up with BFG shod tires. They have been great in...

I just started buying supplies for building my storage unit. I'm going to have the typical drawers and whatnot, but I'll also have a roll-out kitchen in the rear so I don't have to pack plates, stove, etc. where they will be in the way as well as a flexible water bladder in one of the side...

I'm getting ready to go OME but am a little confused on where set-up to go with. I want to lift my DII about 2 inches or so. I am more into the very backcountry camping as opposed to rock crawling. I do carry a fair amount of camping gear (250lbs total?) so I know I guess I need heavy-ish...

I was actually wondering the other day why people were putting drilled rotors on their rovers? Originally rotors were drilled to increase cooling and give hot gases a place to go under heavy (read: high speed) braking. I know that a drilled rotor will go through pads more quickly as well as...
