#The62 MudRunnerTD's New Wheels

[Sprock]

Looks good Daz , definitely needs a lift or all you’ll be doing is driving around a golf course

Well she's in the shed!!!

Some surgery to the exhaust is required.




Ghee it's big and a completely different car to lift on the hoist.





#the62 is coming to life.

I did play with the exhaust on mine. And honestly the only time it sounded proper was when I did the full system.
I did a muffler delete with the long large muffler about mid car. This did make it louder but at a certain rpm sounded like somebody was slapping thongs together and shit. With the full system it had a proper deep v8 rumble and sounded awesome all the way through the rpm range. Fuel economy may have been better but was negated by the right boot going in deeper to hear the noise ��

[MudRunnerTD]

Well some of that was frustrating but it's all bolted up....











Test drive tomorrow

Oh there was more to it lol.

Thats the easy part. The headers take a good part of a day to change. They are a bastard.

Good to see you are becoming an expert on mods on Y62.
When I get one I will drop it off at your place to get sorted.

Yeah I just went Cat back at the moment. Yeah the only real drama was getting some of the hooks out of the brand new rubber hangers alone. I swore at a couple and then hit them with my purse and they capitulated. I had to drop the spare out to get the last section on too. Looks pretty good. I'm hoping it will sound nice.

I just fully paid attention to this thread!
Congrats Darren & Co. ! They're an awesome bit of kit.
When you took me for a spin in your BorgWarner driven TeeDee, the giggling excitement on your face while both of us were pinned to the back of the seats was unreal!! But here you are breaking those barriers again mate. Well done!!!

I get to put a boot down on one here and there. I park next to 3 of them at work almost daily and 2 of those have spent more time at OnTrack then on the road. Every single bit of the car was modded there aint much of Y62 left.

I'll reconfirm what Nissannewby said. Both of these guys have added bits and pieces of the exhaust here and there and the sound wasn't right. Some made no difference at all unless you rev the guts out of it and then it sounded like a Victa mower vegging for life !!
The real hard-on sound was when full system was fitted and then it sounded like a proper 8 that hits you in the face...

3 generations of the mighty Patrol at your possession now mate. Awesome!!!

Well I went for a drive today and.... Holy Bat Shit. I was super keen to avoid the thong slap and think I have but I think I need to get out of thr car and let the wife thrash it to be sure.

Hodge mate. I'm giggling every time I put the foot down. I have not had a V8 for over 30 years and they are a fair bit more car than the HZ Prem with the 308 with a 4 barrel. This thing is a Beast.

The GUIV has gone to a new home. Was a sad day. I was sad for weeks but I reckon I'm back in a happy place. Damn! This thing! Just Wow!!
