oh dear oh dear another boy racer turned offroader why do u need 300bhp?

i bet ur car looks at a puddle and conks out what a fool

davidlandy:
go for ARB - they are much better than detroit lockers. You can switch them in and out. I wouldnt compare a locker to having a winch either as they both do very different things. A locker will get you further into trouble and  the winch is there to get you out!

Mr 300bhp V8 man, I am a little sceptical about what you say, I know that they have come along way but I do fail to see how you can pop down Halfords and simply buy the bits to give you 300bhp - why dont you prove it and post the scan of your rolling road print out?

 :roll: :roll: isnt the new supercharged 4.2 v8 gonna be 500 hp and electronic stuff as well  :-k times have move on from oiler burner of the 60s   :twisted:

seeing some advanced hybrid builds coming with hdc / tc / esc and other aids too.

besides underdrive units our here now .


lockers work if a wheel touchs the ground to make progress next steep long travel indenpendant suspension  came before locker  :-k

secondly the arb i have heard great reports about it but then the cost goes up and it has to be fitted by someone else correct?


comments from anyone who has either

i am swayed towards the detroit due to cost

Still cant see how you got 300 ponies out of a 3.5 v8?!?!?

I can remember years ago seeing a e30 bmw with a 4.0 rover v8 with quad 48mm throttle bodies, twin turbos, forged low comp pistons and a stand alone ecu and that made 400 bhp so im at a loss as to how you only have 100 bhp less?

My 3.9 v8 is meant to have 180bhp but i dare bet it puts out less than 150bhp!

Also you have a high rev cam?! So you have plenty of top end power which is brilliant for low rpm off roading!

I think you need to chop your disco in for a saxo 1.1 or something  :lol:

Anyway back on track, i would say arb's all day long! A friend runs these with 35" simex's and standard halfshafts and cv's and they run fine! Its not what you've got (300bhp etc!) its how you use it!

Gavin.
