Seeing the thread XU1,s on the mountain has motivated me to get this beast on club rego,wheels are off,need some new tyres fitted ,any recommendations on tyres for the sprintmasters will be appreciated.

While the wheels are off better check it that diff is still in it,so i pulled it,oil clean,but wholly shit this has done some gears in its time,also check the wear on the backing plates,with the holes drilled into them, from the brakes being applied. Thought i,d chuck them back on.

Thanks guy,s,

I,ve checked the backing plates for codes,and blow me down,they have been carefully removed with a chainsaw buy the look of things,or the drill holes have eaten everything.Its a bit bodgy but who cares.The studs are a turn out as well.The diff is all back in,and yes the fined drums are on.Gene i had a set of the Yokohama,s 352,s in the shed from when it was last rego,d,but they are rooted.Unfortunately my life has flashed by and that was something like 16years ago SHIT.

It would be great to see you guy,s up this way,this is the best time of year,as its bloody hot soon.

So i need tyres and a battery,opinions please.

Hi m8. Not so long ago i was chatting to a member who knows the bloke who did the lockers for hdt. He said there was 10 centres made and only 3 where used. (i think). I will pm you his user name so he's not bombarded, he said he still has some in his shed you might b able to find out some info on yours. Also so you know the engine mount would of been moded to clear a turbo not a waste gate and thats what the pipe would be for an oil return, Also the oil cooler would of been fitted at the same time as the turbo as the turbo would of been oil cooled so they would of neededto cool the oil some how. The rust mark in the houseing will be from lack of use's as condinsation will still form in there.
.
The backing plates would of been moded to alow for air flow and extra cooling as the drums had a bad habit to over heating and worping. I did a simalar thing to a set i had on a race car for that reason.
I did notice that in the book of the xu1-l34 the info must of had a typo as it says the xu1 had a fuel tank of 180lt lol. Would be a very rare book with all the autographs in it
Thanks Dave
