    It looks like its a mostly stock vehicle other than the engine. I bet the jumps would have been softer with with some bolt-on ish mods like equipe or qt radius arms and coil overs.

    Did you read the engine specs?
    4.8 with 10:1 compression.


    what is a r275 transfercase that the support vehicle had? is that what they call the 1.01:1 lt230?

    maybe, still pretty cool. I wish they had a picture of the nerf damage

    Would you do this to the 109 or the classic? I would think if you could track down a gutted 2 door range rover you could end up with a lighter vehicle that wouldn't be that big of a deal to total compared to a 110.

    look on the lr section on pirate...there is a pic of a 1988 RR that ran this year in the 1000. that's where I found the 110 link. I'm gonna call the phone number in the pic on the RR. Their website is no worky...must be new, nothing works.
    There is no way I would run class 8. the RR is in class 3. Oh, and by the way, I got the 2006-2010 SCORE INTERNATIONAL rule book the other day in the mail.

    I wonder if you could sneak a coiler chassis under there and not consider it a suspension mod

    needs to ditch those front hellas. I can't imagine racing one of these in the desert with something in front of the radiator.

    probably the crappy 10 spline range rover axles, should have bought a disco
