Lada on the Snow trip maybe? It would feel right at home and at least it has a heated rear window to keep your hands warm when pushing it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Might be more towards "light weight - jumps and speed for this one" so i hear :)

Think I want to set it up so I can do Class 8, Awesome car exept for the vibrations :roll: But I think I have that sorted and I got given a factory service manuel with the car 8-) 8-) Bonus! which tells you how to align the transfer properly.

When I say class 8, It wont be a full on build for that, Im not wanting to spend heaps of coin. Will build the cage and install all the safty stuff, and new slightly lifted springs with a better rate in the back, and better full sick shocks on all the corners ;), there aint much more you can do for class 8, and I only want to do the occasional race, the rest of the time it will be used for trips and Im going to deck it out for my camera gear and chargers for when I go to shoot some offroad racing 8-)

Want to run full 31-32 in tyres for trips.

Found vacuum Diff locks front and rear for Niva, from OS 8-)

Anyways, happy with the car, its got to be the best 4x4 I have driven on fast dirt and on the road, it goes where you point it and sticks like Sh@t to a blanket :lol: front IFS works really well to.

And its got a heated rear window for when your pushing it :roll:

Cool :D

I thought class 8 was "modified 4WD" and allowed lots of mods, Class 7 was "production"

I have heard from a few sources they are good to drive on dirt.

Look forward to pushing oh, I mean seeing it :mrgreen:

I thought the same. Class 8 is for modified and is pretty open but this sounds more like a Class 7 build from the description.
