By the way are you guys changing you struts at the same time???

I'm not changing the shocks. I prefer to change them when they've worn out so that they can be thrown out rather than taking valuable real estate in the garage.

Got my whiteline control springs installed today and I'm extremely happy with it. First impressions were that I thought that it was only going to lower the car by 30mm, but it looks like it's lowered it even further. The fronts are lower than the rears. Handling has improved so much and has significantly minimised that irritating body roll when turning. Also when changing lanes, I get more responsive steering rather than that floating feeling.

At long last, I'm going to start enjoy driving this car around the bends.

:lol:

Hey Daz,

I've called all the midas in the sydney Metro area for quotes their prices vary significantly as they are franchise.

I'm a bit sus with the quote the guy at rockdale gave me because it's just to cheap.

I spoke to a guy at Peakhurst and he gave whiteline springs a real baging.

I think he quoted $180 for fiting and align.

I'm going to try these two guys tommorrow.

You got some good prices there that put what I paid to shame. Most places in Sydney that I called wanted $250 installed and aligned. They even told me that the rear wheel alignment was necessary !

Ever since I got my whiteline springs, I have to take speed humps and parking with care - the side skirts can easily be scratched on the footpath/gutter.

Yes

There is no point in making suspension changes if your wheels aren't pointing in the correct direction. The handling may in fact become worse afterwards, not to mention you risk premature wear on your tyres.

Lowering/raising McPherson strut layout (and other types) causes the camber angles to change as well as the toe angles, this is due to the inherent dynamic changes that are designed into the suspension.

Plus it only costs around $30-40 for an alignment...

      Fuel gauge wander

      Hi guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Coaster and have changed my fuel tank sender and when I drive the fuel gage needle moves up and down about 1/8th of a tank depending on if I am accelerating or decelerating. I can’t personally remember if it used to do this before I changed the faulty sender or not. Just today I removed the instrument cluster and changed out the caps on the two boards for the fuel/temp and the tachometer gauge sets and reinstalled but no difference. I checked the orientation of the sender, however it can only go in one way or the screws don’t line up. Not sure if this slosh wander of the gauge is normal for the Coaster as it doesn’t do it in my Hiace. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions?

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
