I spent hours reserching lifting a D40 for a freind and the best lift available is from the states It comes with adjustable coil overs for a lift up to 3 inches and with that and a bodylift im sure you could get the 35's under it.
If you want a link to the site let me know.

I think he has replaced the engine fan with thermo fans to gain power.

I added it for 3 tanks 200/1 .
Better milage , Reduced noise and smoke
As for power i think i got the base modle TD42 Power was an optional extra mine dosent have :) It's hard to notice a 10% increase in 00HP.
I will be continuing to add it.

I have disc rear.
Whats the easy way to check??
Also the bushes are old and probably worn but how would this make a squealing noise??
Also should have mentioned noise changes with speed (kmh not rpm)
Thanks for your help..

Sounds kinda like a stone in the brakes but ive replaced all the roters and pads and given it a good clean and found nothing. Starting to think it might be the wheel bearings but im not sure. ...
