......and it isn't that quick.....
A six cylinder Land Cruiser will blow it into the weeds, let alone a V8 Cruiser
Oh, and I'm fed up with fixing the damned thing.
My 130 is used as a truck so it will be getting a real truck engine in the medium term to replace the car engine that has needed a bottom end rebuild as the bearings can't take the load of the relatively mild state of tune it has and it will more than likely need a head gasket soon too as it's at that age when 300Tdi's let go and it's due another timing belt and I really should replace the water pump and P gasket just in case....at about 1/4 the km a Suzi would need repairs. ;)
Next to break will be the R380 behind a 4BD1T.....:(
