Cummins Drift Truck a la Dum-Dum

[Dum-Dum]

I love this and I love the plans, I just really hope it actually gets done'

Cheers mate, I promise I'll try.

Love the plan, please do it!

Cheers man, hoping I can persuade you and Poodle to come up with the crane and give me a hand swinging it in.

itll be interesting to see if this actually happens. best of luck...

Cheers mate, I'll definitely get it drive able, whether I ever get enough boost and the 14mm head will be another matter. It's not gonna be fast progress as everything is f*cking expensive. £500 for bigger wheels and tyres, £200+ for a custom prop shaft, £250 for a turbo, £100 intercooler, £100 big rad, £500 for the rear end, £100 to get the shifter sorted, £250 custom starter, £300 to get enough bits to knock up a 3" exhaust (and £500 if I want to go 4" or 5") that alongside everything else, all the sundries and an engine. I was thinking £3-4k but Darren says whatever number you think double it.

would you like to borrow my sand-blaster for 'the bay'?

I think I'm gonna get the worst of it with the wire brush then cover the body with hammerite and the chassis with waxoyl but thanks for the offer.

I so want you to actually do this, I really hope you see it through as it would be epic. As always, give me a shout if you need a hand, I'm not that far away.

Also, seriously, 24v start it ffs... It's not worth the faff as Darren has said.

As per my last post, mathematically it should be perfectly possible to start it on 12v. A custom starter motor is just as cheap as a rewound 24V one or all the extra wiring, batteries, relay and £100 12/24v switch that Darren used.

Also KISS! Keep it simple stupid. I hate wiring so any way I can simplify the wiring will be of great benefit.

And yeah, you know you are always welcome round here, I was probably gonna ask for your help fitting the 4200 gov spring as I break things every time I try taking the top off a pump.

4kw?! f*ck, most psa ones are 1.2kw at the most!

Yeah man 5.5hp starter motor LOL

Thank you

4kw?! f*ck, most psa ones are 1.2kw at the most!

Its a 5.9L long stroked diesel......Hardly a surprise!

Chris what rear end is in these trucks? as the cummins will make mincemeat of most stock rear ends!

The standard rear end is probably shit*, the 3.31 should handle 500lb/ft+ How much exactly I don't think anyone has ever tested.


*When I say shit I mean substantially better than a defender one but not good enough for a tuned cummins.

We're not even half way through the year yet, no way will it last to the end!

Get bent sperm breath.
