I recently bought a pov pack 80 series (split rims, vinly trim etc.)
Can anyone tell me more about it?
mine's 1997
eg.
-does it have a lsd? is there a way to tell lsd's from non-lsd's?
-can I replace the instrument cluster with one that has a tacho without too much bother? (I know I can't put a petrol one in and
mine being electronic it would be a pain to put a cable one in)
-being originally from the mines in western aus (I think) are any of the gear/transfer/diff ratios different from normal? (it feels awfully low geared, by my estimates doing at least 3k in fifth at 100kph) If so, is there a cheap way of reversing this...
My guess is it may have a limited slip diff because today it just got up a crazy slope that my friend's troopy can't (he doesn't have a lsd but his prob may also be that his
suspension is very stiff i.e. on undulating ground I think his wheels come off the ground easier).
With regard to wheels I've already made the mistake of buying 15x7 sunraysia's and seeing my rear calipers scape the inside of the rims... Now have a set of 80series GXL standard rims (16x8) Are these illegal for me cause I don't have solid flares? (it has rubber things) Also did I pay too much for the gxl rims? (I paid $650 for four rims and almost unroadworthy tyres .. the wrecker could tell I really wanted them...!)
Now that I have 4 16x8's and a split as a spare, how bad is it to use the split (I'm guessing different diameter) on the back if I have a flat (if I have a lsd)
Has anyone put a turbo on one like this? is it worth it (performance vs. increased fuel consumption) maybe cause
mine's not as noisy inside but it feels slower than my friend's 86 troopy...
My vehicle has this red 'dust' everywhere and it's almost impossible to remove (in aircon vents, around headlights, mirrors) From this info can anyone tell what type of
mine it was at and what this red stuff is? Is there an easy way to clean it off...?
Also, where do these vehicles tend to rust first?
Any other suggested modifications?
Wow that's a lot of q's! lol
...any info on any of this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)
