Err I drove a 2.4 Surf when I got my first one in Welly NZ and got 280 to a tank as there are hills.. big hills... mountains if you will. Aside from where I am writing this I have a 1UZ powered Surf that gets given death, Wifey has a 2.4 TD 2 door surf that cost $50. Both do almost 500 to a tank. You can ask Red what the "Bitch" goes like, I wont let him drive it as I know I won't get her back _________________ Petrol and Diesel...

Halfway through the waiting of the tank. I have bought rear coils: Kings 2" lifted progressive. Picked them up early this week, they were used only for one year as he went for 100 series coils. I am still not sure which exhaust I want: 2.5" or 3". Is it worth the additional money to go to 3"? _________________ 94 SSR-G 3l, 31" ST's, D-Gas, FWH, cargo barrier --------------- To come: 2" suspension lift,...

has anyone else tried these magnet things on a deisel??? it does sound to good to be true but i imagine they wouldnt be very expensive. even if u got 2% increase in economy theyd pay for themselfs prity quick _________________ Fridgy' by way of gas inhaleing 91 2.4lte manuel - custom dint in back bumper

On both of the cut down fans I have used you can not visibly see the difference between the blades but you definitely see a wobble when at revs. The clearance for the vanes/channels in the viscous clutch is very small. By the looks of my old clutch it does not take much of an imbalance for the vanes/channels to make contact and wear. _________________ Why do I keep paying mechanics to break my cars?

ok, I think that the salesman has learnt that we cant be scammed. To me even the thread title sounds like he has read it of the label. If he isnt a salesman pushing this product, he is a really gullable person. _________________ KZN 130, 3litre, Auto, 2" sus lift now has a front mount intercooler

Thanks for the tip Johnny, but I don't have a welder, less a shed to work in. I went to a Toyota, ARB and a diff place for help, but as it was late in the afternoon on a friday, no one could help. I'll probably be fine for the weekend though as I put in the exact amount specified. I've got a new plug now, so next week I'll see if someone can weld on a bolt and get it off.

Busted Speaking of lifting... what's the legalities in QLD of ball joint spacers and diff drop in the front end? Thinking 40mm was not high enough but don't want to compromise the CVs. Thinking I need another 25mm lift with ball joint spacers, diff drop spacers and coil spacers in the back. Anyone sell a kit of all of the above?
