my hilux has a 4y 2.2 petrol motor in it and i on my learners till july so i can only hav minor illegal things dun 4 the time being.

when where out wheelin ive got 33'' mickey t's on and on the hard hills it struggles to turn the 33's unless ur not shy with the right boot.

so i was hoping there is sum way u giv it a bit more torque without to many stand out pieces.i will eventually b puting a 302 windsor in it but hav to wait till im 21. thnks
