Racing a ute. Pros / Cons

[Froggz]

Hmm so today i got $250 birthday money and 100 repco voucher what to buy.

$100 repco voucher = engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, filters, spark plugs, brake fluid, coolant. Get it running right Then when you upgrade brakes do all the fluid too, with something decent like Motul RBF600.

You think you can get all that for $100? 5L of decent oil is $85.

No,
I was just suggesting things he could buy, so he could take his pick

 

[Froggz]

Yeah thats what i was think my diff is heaps noisy so hopefully some lsd oil will quieten it up.
p.s anyone know where i can get my diff reconditoned or a kit to do it

How did you go spending that voucher mate?

 

[Froggz]

I ended up buying some new headlights a tool box a led conversion for my interior light. nothing special. my pressure plate for my clutch went so theres more money spent.

does anyone know where i could get my diff reco'd or roughly how much

 

[Froggz]

There are classes of racing that don't cost an arm and a leg to run in, near stock cars can be competive and you'll have a ton of fun. Hill climbs and lap sprints are 2 that come to mind first (1 set of semi slicks can last you a whole season of Hill climbing and you can still fill a shelf with trophys lol) there are a few where mods are not allowed and some where only certain things can be done.

There is no reason why a ute can't be raced, they just need a little bit of "assistance" to turn quick lol

Those aren't Holden or HSV wheels mate, they are likely to be cheap Chinese cast wheels
