I hope to find a good LSE Soft Dash with shot running gear for my next Rangie. It will get the 4BD1 or Similar treatment if I can get away with it for engineering. Wont be able to body lift it unless can take the SRS out:(

I know Matt is a youngster and hasn't approached mid life yet, (But hes had more crisis's than us in his jam packed life so far I reckon:o) but after he drove my 4BD1T RR he immediately went home and took the supercharged 3.9V8 OUT and put a 4bd1T IN. Are you seeing where I am going here...?:D

Painfull tho ;)

:)

I feel the 35s will put an end to the 4.11 advantage. When I have to tow I will put the 31s back on:twisted:

I can assure you it was pain full. The floor got so hot from the exhaust pipe the rubber sound dampening has melted over the ECU wiring harness:eek:

Your not far wrong with full time mechanic as now have more to do here than I can cope with:o
Hence why my projects are not progressing well:mad:
