New Article
Engine Performance

Thanks to a group effort from a number of site users, this article looks at why engine performance is a key issue for 4WD owners. We discuss your options when looking to increase engine performance such as adding turbos, superchargers, exhaust systems, extractors, and engine management chips, plus we discuss the basic pros and cons of running petrol vs diesel motors and even a little about custom conversions...

 

This article is the first of more to come on the new Topic "Service and Mods". 


New Trek note

Winton to Innamincka

Another of our Members, has recently come back from a great tour through the Channel Country in outback Queensland through to South Australia and has supplied us with a number of new Trek Notes and plot files.

In this newsletter, we launch the first of these  - a Winton to Innamincka trek, which includes Opalton & Haddon Corner.


ExplorOz Trips/Gatherings 

To assist in the planning of ExplorOz Gatherings and Trips, we have created a wonderful new system (external to the Forum) that enables the coordination of people, venue and timing as well as enabling post-event reporting with photos.

Note - the WA Gathering to Mawson Park last weekend was the first trip completed using this system - see report and photos here)
