How do you connect the drill to the GPS?

See the event information: Diesel & Sparks. There is a lot of brave talk here so lets see if they have the balls to back it up!

Don't mind these guys with there 4.8 speedsters, they are only good from robot to robot. From Gauteng to Cape town the oil burners wil win. Simply because they dont need to fil up every 300k's
Being alive is a Blessing!!

Another update on how my mods are going
I finally got my rear mud flaps cut and installed....
Boost gauge installed and working perfect
On the way to the ralley event Tinus drove behind me and noted that my Patrol makes ZERO smoke under boost which points to the engine running a bit lean.
So after the boost gauge install I gave the fuel screw another 1/4 turn for more fuel and WOW!! So much more alive!!
The boost now come in at around 1,300rpm and I have 0.7bar at 2,200rpm. EGT seems slightly higher but still way safe and didnt go over 510deg on the highway
