We watched another Hilux SFA performing and it was a pretty mean machine, with 32" MT fitted. But the engine beat interested me, the car never seemed to go above an idle. We waited for them to catch up to us and then spoke to the driver, Coen, and he showed us the reason why - a beautiful Lexus V8 engine! Expertly fitted, and using a KZTE radiator with one massive electric fan, the vehicle suffered no overheating problems. Coen explained that he has elected to use the standard drive train although he has the Lexus Auto-box at home. I don't know the EMS he used, I think he mentioned the name as T-Bone (or something to do with a "T"
), apparently also a local development.Nobody seems to know whose land this is, probably Municipal, and no one knows who built the track - it was a very well-kept secret! But it is worth a visit and best thing is, it's only three kilometres from my home :) It is an ideal training track for newbies, but there is one spot where one can lose it if not careful. The V8-powered Hilux managed to tear off its rear bumper on the trail as well, when Coen's better half took the wheel, in spite of the enhanced body-lift it had.

. But as there were only two other 4x4s there, it was no sweat, the other Hilux was also going in the wrong direction and I think the Wrangler driver just gave up and went home again.
, but I need the mounting brackets cut and repositioned. Having said that with any luck Oom Blom can wangle a way to get a spare wheel swingarm on too!
