Outer Limits 4x4 Board

That's called gearing and torque multiplication.... Oh and having sticky 40" tyres You might doubt gturbo, but just chat to him, he'll give you the time of day. You'll also see his genuine passion, he gets very excited about the work he does. He finally tuned mine the other day, had the turbo for 9 ...

Would only go that far if you are driving an old beat up bunky with questionable parts.

A car with good quality equip should just need a thorough wash down / degrease and then during servicing inspect the above.

On paper the differences in power are minimal, in the real world its chalk and cheese

Hardware wise they again are different kettles of fish

Not worth the premium to those that can't afford them, definitely worth the premium for those that can.

Keep looking, its a pov pack 1HZ, nothing to write home about. It's got a basic bar, small wheels and suspension height looks pretty standard. There was an EOI for a highly modified petrol gxl with similar mms, 96 model, 37s, lift, bar work, diff gears, lockers, crawler gears etc for 12.5k 1HZ is ...

I question that last video about how clean the exhaust was. Seems like there was a HUGE puff of smoke when chaning gear or giving it a slight tap on the throttle and then the revs climbed very slowly, so ofcourse its not going to puff if you don't kick it in the guts. Take a movie of it being worked ...

Even at over 3 tonnes, the old 1H-FT if tuned right, especially with a nice Safari intercooler, should really fly. I have driven a manual one that had the same kit, was only running 10psi and once the revs got up it really flew. I am in Perth so you are more than welcome to organise a time to come ...

Well you could always donate one of your turbos to me and we can show everyone on the forum how good they might actually be.

Drag race a 5spd 1HD-FT that weighs well over 3t just sitting there. Would loose against a pushbike!

I have a design for what I reckon is an excellent dump for the CT26 and it uses a separate tube for the waste. I machine the back of the turbo to fit a 2.5" to 3" concentric reducer then 3" 90. the tube goes right to back of turbo so theory being you dont get turbulent flow on exit of the turbine ...

Around town, nothing but a screw driver. Own a Toyota, don't need tools as it doesnt break down

Touring I have a full sidchrome toolkit of about 150 bits and bobs with other random shite in. Doesn't get opened, as its a Toyota

I like the magazine, but mostly get it now days for the DVD so rarely read any articles on tests and what not and if your anything like me you take several opinions and facts on products before buying... However I have only just recently seen TJM advertise in the magazine, maybe they had small ...

Did you only fit the hubs, or did you pull down the centre diff and fit the required parts in there too? If you haven't done the centre diff, then its not a proper part time kit.

After sales service is where money is at, ongoing maintenance pays the bills. Alternatively if you are purely a product sales business, then repeat business with a high turnover of products will give you the money you need for business expenses. Low margins, high turnover = profit. If you have a ...

I don't go to the store and ask for the best price, then walk to the next one. That's what the phone is for, so you take your car down, and they damage it, not because you have been a grump to them, its because they are incompetent (well atleast the ones I have had the misfortune of using, and I can ...

You obviously don't grasp the simple concept of Needs vs Wants... I don't go to those establishments, I source my wants from alternate locations, and get the best price. Buy from a smaller shop (still a franchise of a bigger group) and they will give you a better price than sticker each and every ...

A shop can choose to drop there price, if they don't then most of us go elsewhere. Being that the business is there to make money they will generally drop the price to make the sale and to get future sales through word of mouth. So you dont ask for a better price for TV's, white goods, furniture ...

305/70/16 cost me $369ea about 2 months ago, in Perth. Someone asked would you haggle for your grocery prices, the answer is NO because you need to eat, so you put up with it. You don't need to pay RRP for tyres or any products, RRP is BS, if you want your business to succeed then you sell the ...

Mickey uses a soft compound so will wear fast. Cooper make a hard compound so will wear slowly but the offset is cutting... Unsure of BFG but the KM2 reports of good wearing.

I think you will find its 15mm not 1.5x

How does it compare to BP Ultimate Diesel, if you have used it?

Ultimate Diesel is out of action in WA, so need a replacement

Any chance on getting these prices on the headlights too? I've got an 80 series and want HIDs for low and high, I've got HID spots already.

Hey All, I'm looking for a powder coater to do 4 alloy rims, they will need to be blasted and I want a smooth shiny job. I'm deciding between getting them polished (as they were originally shiny) or coated, depending on the price so am hoping the coating is ~$50 a rim as the polish is not much more ...

Mate, I have found the first few mm wear stupidly fast, and then they get to the hard spot and the wear rate slows dramatically! I did a 10,000 km Perth to Kimberley to Perth trip and lost about 3mm and then the tyres lasted to about 78k kms with still about 20% tread left before sold with the car ...

Before we sold our 96 DOHC I has stuff all power for about 6 months, but economy was the same, I pulled the fuel pump and it was just full of muck, replaced it and she came back to life and then sold 2 weeks later

NJ Pajero 3.5L DOHC manual 31s 15L/100 regardless of town, country, empty or loaded, always the same. 80 Series 1HDFT manual 285s and all the fruit and weight town + country = 11L/100 towing = 14L/100 05 XR6t auto with 400hp town = 15L/100 country = 8.5L/100 WQ Fiesta 1.6L manual town + country = 7 ...

Running the DOHC on regular shows a massive decrease in performance. Economy will increase by 1 to 2L per 100kms. Premium fuels will clean fuel systems and improve economy, so you are saving money by running the 'more expensive' fuels. Even Ultimate Diesel shows an increase in performance and ...

Where abouts should the black bit that runs down the side of the globe go, on the top, on the sides or at the bottom, or does it not matter at all?

We just sold our Pajero that I fitted Cooper ST 31x10.5x15 at 178k kms, its sold at 256k kms with the same coopers on them, with a good 20k kms left of tread. Never got a puncture, they aren't chipped, wear very even. In summary, they are the best All Terrain tyre in our experience. I will be ...

Car is Sold, pending payment

I would say your aiming a bit too high there... Wages are probably around 12-15/hr for a chump and maybe a couple of dollars more for someone slightly more skilled. Company car had its 15k km service done by Ultra Rip offs, service that should of cost $120-$150 cost the company $350 and all they did ...

Price drop to $9500 ono

Its just taking up space now...
