Hello all, i have just joined your forum, i'm looking for advice straight from the horses mouth as it were
with regard to what class my 90 might end up in at the Mendips.
When i got it, it sat quite high thanks to HD springs that were fitted from new, added to the fact that i
don;t think it's ever carried anything heavy, (ex NT), I then
proceeded to fit a D44 standard size but HD front bumper, and homke made winch tray with winch, and steering gaurd....
Well, as you can imagine the front sagged a little, so i fitted 1 inch longer front springs, and Range Rover classic
rear springs to try and gain back the lost height at the front,
and softer back end for better use of the articulation, i have fitted what are proported to be standard length
Shocks....i am hoping that this will result in my being in the standard class, it has 235 85 insa turbo sahara's fitted on modulars...

I would appreciate anyones input as to what class i'd be in.... i do compete in local club trials, but am aware that the mendips is
quite strict when it comes to such things....

Yours in anticipation of lots of replies...

Ron.

Ron,

as long as it hasn't had too much of a lift (2 inches is the
max I think). Then it sounds like it would probably be Class 4,
but without actually seeing the vehicle it is hard to be certain.

Thanks George.......... it sits on wheels that are of a 'legal offset and suitable tyres, so should be ok.... nothing has been trimmed off the arches etc..... one other thing i'm interested in though, from what i can make out, the alrc rules state that 'the exhaust may be modified'...... i have removed the cat, and centre silencer..... but was considering removing a chunk of the rear exit pipe to make it les vulnerable to getting caught on stuff..... not sure if that sort of mod is allowed though.....

Sounds like it should be ok, as far as the exhaust goes, as long as it is MOT legal then it should be ok.

Best bet is to bring it along to the next trial (Goosemoor) and have one of our scrutineers look it over.
