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

Tony

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

) 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...?

... Before the days of overdrive, All V8's use to do 3000rpm to achieve 110kph

Painfull tho

Mike

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

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

Your not far wrong with full time mechanic as now have more to do here than I can cope with

Hence why my projects are not progressing well

Yet again?

*mumble* that Gruppenfuhrer reall can be an Arshlock when he enforces the torture of driving a 3.5 for a week *mumble mumble*
