Just wondering if anyone has the same car ?
87' hilux, duel cab, 4y engine
Main question is what the fuel consumption is like ?
Seems mines pretty poor but ive put that down to it being original engine with poor manifold, well i like to think thats why cause i
wanna put a new engine in it.
I seem to get between 6 and 7.5 kms/ltr... is this bad ? from what ive heard it is.
also considering painting it white 20cans of spray or a proper gun ?
fuel cosumptin don't know much about the 4y never ownerd one or knowen of someone who has but for paint use a gun and do it right, with cans you can see it's dodgy by how the flow is i've seen some done like this and it looks crap maybe if you can't spay get someone a carton or 2 who can makes alot of differance in apperance
yeh i think ill take that advice, only thing making me think i could paint it was m8 and i did such a good job painting our rims
(we even used primer ) lol i hope i end up with a better job than i have
ya rckn clear coat is worth it ?
I just put in a 4y about 8 months ago, she is better on fuel than the 3y was, but the most i have got from the tank is only 270 ks, and thats babying the thing! the worst i have had was 180 ks from $75 of fuel.
the economy is even worse now that it dosen't have a snorkel. I HAVE changed everything, including brand new carby.
YN65 X-Tra cab, 33's, 3" body lift otherwise stock. (the brumby got stolen)
50 litre tank ? mines only a 40 litre and i get around the 250 mark "babying it" as you say lol
does the snorkel make that much of a difference to economy does it ?
I dont have a snorkel yet but will in a few weeks would be good to see an increase
but yeh, mines had a few heavy services as well.
I think this must be normal for a 4y i havent read what they are rated at so i dont know but sounds like it,
wonder if age makes a diff, how many kms urs done ? mines nearing 400k :(
Have you only ever used the 4y with ur 33's ? wonder if that makes a diff.
20cans of spray or a proper gun ?
) lol i hope i end up with a better job than i have
