My exhaust had a great escrape the last time I took the stagea on a bush trail. Apart from the ground clearance issues, the ATTESA works fantastically. No need to even use the 50/50 split button, the computer sorts it out.

Away with the wife and my two daughters for 10 days, I need some serious shed time! :wacko2:

Merry Christmas. :santa:

Had to haul up 50 packs of flooring at 15kg each up a steep wet curved driveway.

So put a half a dozen in the car for a bit more traction, the rest in a trailer.

Stuck it in Syncro mode in 1st, was expecting to have to rev the shit out of it and fight slippage, went up like a dream with no effort at all.

f**k I love this car..

Gee look at your springs!! Is that lowered or is something else in those boxes ;)

That's standard autech axis height with around 35-40 slabs of soft drinks in the back. All behind the back seat. I have had around 65 slabs in there before with the seats down and there was room for more. It looks worse than what it is in the pic coz of uneven ground but it is extremely on its arse. Poor springs.

...and then went looking for more stuff to put in so everything wouldn't slide around.

<3 that boot.

Fit a refrigerator and washer in the back with no problem, unfortunately only got a picture with the fridge in there.

luckily there was another chance to put a washer in there, a long with a chair and various other furniture my buddy picked up from a sayonara sale

Little late to the party,

we went over to SA end of last year with 2 suitcases and a cooler.

Way back was a little different, both our families loaded us with stuff to take back.

Does not look like much.

A sofa bed (Worlds ugliest fabric, but it was free!), and yes the boot actually closed.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
