Hello, I just Love Toyotas, My dear Mother gave me her 2011 Corolla Ascent w/ only 45,000 kms and I just Love having a car with No Issues as in Fixing things up and things going Wrong as they Do with other Well Know cars(Its an Easy Guess what Brands we are talking about here) But to have and drive a car that Nothing Goes Wrong is a seeing Miracle and a Return to Sanity. Now I have purchased a 1996 Hilux 2.4 carby one owner, 205,000 kms new tyres in a Pretty Condition country car. Now I've checked the coolant overflow tank and it is'nt green or red but a murky black which has got me concerned as I checked the radiator contents after a big drive before buying and did'nt see any Bubbles.It has'nt overheated on a big run.The previous owner spent close to $1800.00 on serviceing etc about 6 months ago. Now I'll do a radiator flush proper But what type of Coolant and what Brand do you People recommend and anything else for that matter. Thank You for your time and advice. Mark W S. -

I have a GR-S with a JMACX 4200 GVM - the key component to answer your question is the electronic version of the alpha dampers. its a bit of a double edged sword - the drive mode wheel now only controls throttle response and transmission/streering gremlins, as the Toyota dampers are gone, however the replacement supersedes function quite nicely. You get a cute little panel that can operate the shocks in different ways. You can set your baseline firmness for each shock, and either lock this in ORRRR turn it to adaptive mode and feel the outside dampers firm up around corners, front ones firm whilst braking etc. It presumably uses a 2-axis accelerometer to tell which corner to do what. You can even get to display the data it’s utilising to make the realtime changes. so… this seems to work like the Toyota system - in my opinion, it feels less ponderous than the factory suspension, but the relatively inconsequential issue of the drive mode not controlling the shocks can trigger the OCD amongst us. I’ve only had OME suspension prior to JMACX - I must say I’m overwhelmed with how much engineering has gone into the system. Driving the vehicle around, it feels like it’s dominating the road, rather than timidly subbing. Coming from a 200 that felt like As mine is black with an ARB bar and BFG 35’s, it’s also somewhat intimidating - which has its advantages at the school drop off - and its disadvantages as I’m pretty sure most drivers just think I’m another obnoxious black monster truck driver with a loud snorkel and exhaust. im actually not that obnoxious. have I even answered your question? I know of no system that fully integrates that knob. oliver - very tired IMG_4387.dng IMG_4391.dng
