come on jerry, everyone knows white is more economical!

wow thats good going for a bighorn at 1.64 per litre that of $170 diesel thats only 104 Litres meaning you got near on 10KM/L..... did you fill it up before an after you left to get the $170? and to add something of use to fuelly... intercooled surf 1999 kzn185 12L/KM averaged over 45,000kms [81-127 ...

I get 500k on my kzj95 on 3/4 of a tank, have you run some injector cleaner thru it lately? Come on Jerry! your xyz from 3/4 tank means as much to fuel consumption as me getting a box of beers on the way home an driving passed a gas station an having a look at the price of milk! L per KM KM per L ...

Small amount of wiring, small amount of fabrication, you could have a SAS 2.8 intercooled turbo wagon and make a bit of money on it selling off left overs. Buy ethans solid axle bighorn. have some photos of a surf conversion if interested

Look I think a simple economics 101 might do you a world of favours. Ill save you a google an really simplify it for you. Great to know your personal opinion on your financial borrowings though. Basing your theory of cars currently for sale "concedes the point" KZN185's SELL when priced at 6-7 at ...

Sorry to thread jack mate, but a kzn185 will normally have between 280-320,000 kms on the clock at the price you are quoting. A kzn130 at $6000 would have between 180,000 and 220,000km. Taitan - Not sure how long you have been out of the country or if you know the current market. . Ok simple ...

Depends if you want to sell it or relist it for 6 months lowering your price every month til it gets back down to 4500? I'm sure you understand how a market works, at 4500 you'd think it would sell quickly. If you are comparing it to other surf's on trademe, your comparing it to cars that have not ...

800?? You were goign to spend a 1000 on a engine. How about 800 on a solid axle surf with a intercooled 2.8 turbo? You now have a answer to a] your surf's IFS, cracked head and underpowered engine and I think you will come out with money from selling off parts from both that are unused! I can help ...

new price $7000 that a better price? Depends if you want to sell it or relist it for 6 months lowering your price every month til it gets back down to 4500? I'm sure you understand how a market works, at 4500 you'd think it would sell quickly. If you are comparing it to other surf's on trademe ...

how about sorting your mu out proper and buying ethans bighorn with solid axle hilux up front, swapping bits over, parting out the rest and you'll probably make money out of it and get some spare parts and an intercooler....

that big bolt 17mm? in the middle is part of the two piece mount, leave it done up.
maybe drop the wheels off it and lower it onto some blocks?
as it is quite a tall engine and if your already worried abotu space,,,

Also if you are tight for lifting height, strop down the suspension so when the weight comes off the truck it doesn't follow you up. Learnt that one when I pulled the 1KZTE from my Prado. Sometimes a lift can cause issues.... If its an auto, leave the torque converter on the box, just get ...

undo the nuts from underneath with a 14mm spanner?
edit as in dont actually remove the mount from the block. 2 14mm bolts with nuts underneath running north / south with engine.

in what way is the speedo not compatible mate? it is to short? wrong fitting?

have you just bought it? have you had a look underneath to see if its all plugged in? pick a part for the win, go pull out a mechanical sender uni

We have had a 3.1 for 6years and have done 170,oookm in it (275000 total) so farand its great. yes we cracked the head but it was working really hard off rod on a stinking hot day in hill country with what turned out to be a clogged radiator. I would buy another 3.1 if I had to. They are alot more ...

yeh what i meant was the wagon itself. honda bought rights to rebadge light isuzu vehicles, same as honda bought rights to rebadge a land rover discovery as a honda cross road. isuzu bighorn - honda horizon isuzu mu - honda jazz but only for 3.1s. not 2.8s also of interest the isuzu bighorn was ...

both 2.8 and 3.1 are from isuzu's light truck range, not honda engines, honda bought some rights to re badge the 3.1's i would go 2.8 LWB bighorn as they are more widely available in manual (my preference), most 3.1s are autos and ugly looking green LWB wagones and parts are cheaper for the 2.8 (my ...

From my point of view: If we sue the club as Defendant on the court,(yes,coz club name on the contract) then the club will sue someone unless they don't care to be convicted. you dont "sue" the club, well not as such anyway. you inform the police if you havent already and the police decide whether ...
