  1. Yea this ones a CR41 2c isnt it? If you tried that with a newer efi/common rail you'll have a mess.
  2. so much for a flaming exhaust!
  3. Yeah, i have quite an interest in the ol' fellas, the pajero, the LJ79 Land Cruiser (old ones ) and the new 4L one , the issue is the family component is up with the whole SUV thingy more or less soft-roader.. As for off road i've had my times with the Landy and the Hilux will soon be ready for a bit of mud
  4. I've heard so, thanks Better stay clear from the Xtrail GT then, if hypermiling got you 6kmpl, i might as well have to sell my house to fill her up.. Thanks for the suggestion, gotta lookout for one..
  5. That happens because the Hilux has a metal/chrome rear buffer, it interferes with the activity of the reverse sensor kit.. there are special kits for metal buffers..
  6. Thanks for the replies guys, had a bit of an idea on the 2008 Sportage, any issues with that? Are there GT versions in SL? sounds very tempting.. Btw none of these vehicles have a pair of fold-able 3rd row seat, anything that does have a set ?
  7. Hi there, Been in the car market lately looking for an SUV with a budget of 4 mil.. Found these Daihatsu Terios/ Toyota Rush (went through the differences on the other thread) Kia sportage (2008 Diesel) Kia Sorento (2004) Suzuki Vitara/Escudo (2006) Honda CR-V RD5 (quoted bit higher) Micro Kyron (Diesel) Subaru Forester (2005) Nissan X-trail (Petrol 1st Gen) If there are anymore please suggest.. Please kindly chuck in your views/recommendations I know the variety in this list is kinda vast; just for clarification my requirements are : Any fuel type is fine, fuel economy is of least concern, no intention of "real" off roading a decent ground clearance would do, need good passenger capacity, good pulling power, reliability/ easy to maintain.. So which is the best one? Thank you..
  8. You are comparing two vehicles that are realms apart mate, suggest you do a thorough readup before you make a move..
  9. Well since its a cheap idea, its gonna be cheap, look cheap, sound cheap and in all make you and your car cheap.. If you still wanna go for it I guess you'll have to fiddle with the wiring, swap the transformer inside and also the jacks need to be changed or a converter must be used.. Also 3000 buck subwoofer will not be good enough to even come close to outwit a real system.. Head units sub out will not work properly with the PC sub unit// My suggestion, be patient, save up and get the real deal..
  10. Yea, my buffers are polyurethane, that's why i can't simply drill and mount two lamps onto em... guess i'll have to stick to the stock ones or upgrade the whole buffer..
  11. Didn't want to clutter the forum with another post, whats the actual legislation with these bullbars and A bars are they legal now? or should they be padded to be legal as in the some countries?? Was planning for the above setup + a pair of lamps --------------------------------------- CORRECTION Did go through these http://www.autolanka...w-in-sri-lanka/ http://www.autolanka...-still-illigal/ http://www.autolanka...whos-in-charge/ -------------------------------------- http://www.police.lk/index.php/traffic-police/55 Question 10- looks like trouble,

    The iPhone unless jailbroken will not connect to a bluetooth OBDII interface, Got the same gear, what app are you gonna use?
  14. Had the same issue when we bought the CR51, a pair of joints lasted only 3months etc.. Well it sorted out after we replaced the entire front end from a recon cut front half (did it since the steering rack started having issues), replaced the front wishbones, front diff bit (4wd), steering rack and ends etc.. might have been another damaged part causing it. so just look into that...
  15. I feel it looks good without em'.. btw those driving lamps look like a decent add-on
  16. Were these from ebay mate? What was the Wattage? H4s i presume?
  17. The hilux also has a common rail injector system therefore low sulphur diesel must be used.
  18. Apparently it was a concept, http://www.hybridcarpictures.com/toyota-hilux-f1-concept-the-pick-up-of-racing.html http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-hilux-f1-concept/#photo-222412
  19. Was it one of these?
  20. Ha ha the usual, like they say 'a land like no other'
