^^Technically No. CB and UHF are 2 different frequencies but I think Rockatansky meant UHF. CB has longer range but not too many people use it anymore.
About the only thing you need a manual for is drifting. I'm running 400rwkw through my ZF and I always drive it hard/stall it up at the lights and it's still going strong.
On a side note. My Nitto NT05's arrived from Taleb Tyres today. Hopefully get them fitted this week. Will be interesting to see how much better they hook up compared to the Khumo KU31's.
I got my BA XT wagon alternator reconditioned for $180 including removal/refitting should be the same as XR. Should be able to pick up a reconditioned one for under $200 and fitting isn't that hard. Pretty easy to do yourself in 10-20min.
