The workshop says they can't get it done till the new year and I should drive granny spec.This is a real bummer because I'm going down to summernats with my mate who's just built up his 383 s/c wb Ute. I was just going to cruise round the track (it's only 10-15kph) and maybe do a few little skids where allowed (on small sh*tty tyres). Just little muck around stuff, mainly going to support my mates Ute.Am I definitely likely to do more damage if I go ahead with it? I've been told some guys drive around 20, 000+ kms with rooted diff bushes.Thanks P.s. diff bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willo88 Member 700 Member For: 13y 3d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 20/12/12 06:31 AM Share Posted 20/12/12 06:31 AM I dunno about that, last year on sunday there was plenty of cars smokin it up on the cruise route and security didn't seem to give two sh*ts...mainly because most of the security I saw were scrawny teenagers and the burnouts sent everyone within 20 metres mental.... loved it! might be different on friday or saturday though.oh, and diffbush issue, I'd be more concerned if it was the centre one...she'll be right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are both entered but our focus is mainly on his, mine is just for a bit of fun and so we get the same camp grounds.Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
