Hi Richard
Thanks for the response and the truck looks good, however I'm defiantly looking for a TD5 or V8, I've always found the tdi's lacking in power - I currently run a tuned TD5 ( flashed / VV turbo / intercooler etc etc ) and I couldn't go back to a tdi - sorry! |

Better spec than mine I think ? It's about a dozen posts below this post Thanks |

Did see that, still not a Td5 - and before I get verbally abused about how good the 2.8 is ( still a tdi  ) you can't run a auto off it with compushift - which is something I'm keen doing. I also know TD5's pretty well and you can tune the hell out of them |

thanks for the link in. compushift and td5 i saw as added complication on something i wanted to be ultra reliable but i understand your reasons for wanting both i have raced (Croatia twice) with td5 compushift vehicle, they do go well 
If your tunning the nuts out of it just take spare lumps with you to events. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

sounds like you want a race truck rather than a challenge truck Cheers

'sounds like you want a race truck rather than a challenge truck'
Not at all, ran a tricked up 90 300 tdi ( Simex/arbs/shafts/ome/giggled 8274s - u get the idea) but always found the tdi lacking, bogged down she had nothing left, even though she had a aftermarket intercooler / tweaked pump / no egr etc. My current td5 (very similar off-road spec) will light its tyres up if and when required - but it's not a challenge truck ( trees and body work don't mix lol ) Click image to enlarge Last edited by Phantom on 24th Nov 2016 10:29pm.

for challenge vehicles really the engine is just running the alternators to charge the winch batts in my experience as its all about punches and technicality of winching.
for navigation, special stage events where the V8s and more grunt come in to play then its time related and less challenge spec. what diffs were you running on the tdi? 4.11s? Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

not meaning to argue the toss, know you run the Island4x4 there, was just looking into what you were after and what you said you were after Cheers

with respect to the td5, my other tgv will chirp its 33s on an auto so they can all do it. Cheers

A TD5 challenge truck.........lol It's not just my experience, got a few friends running 200 and 300 tdi tricked defenders - all complain about power especially after watching my 90 in action. I do understand the skills involved in comps ( I have competed nationally) and still believe that every now and again a little throttle is needed 
Did u sell the red 90. |
