.....so..its finally done. Ive lowered the stivo! :D

**Woot** no more 4wd stance and i must say it looks and feels awesome (no bias of course :D )

The car is on G-force coilovers (courtesy of Pippy)

at first the mechanic got it a little to low for day to day driving (looked awesome but jst wasnt practical :unsure: )

After a few adjustments to dampening and ride height the car ended up here:

and i must say the handling is awesome and im very happy with the look. Save for a few alterations to driving, taking speed humps and entering and exiting the driveway, i am very pleased with the result!

PS: they were installed by Midas Rockdale for a very competitive price: $140.00 inc F&R wheel alignment. It pays to compare and bargain! B)

Very nice man, and welcome to low riders club :D. How does it handle ? stiff or soft ride ?

Big Russ

Cheers dude. Handling is pretty good.. can take corners at speed.. handles like a go-kart (as they say)

wouldnt kno how to describe the ride.. i mean its alot stiffer then stock. but has a little bit more bounce on the little bumps?? :blink:

hehe yeh i know. i called plenty of places. Its a funni story coz when i brought my car in to fit them, the guy i left the key with even said id got a really good price. The dud i spoke to on the phone must have misunderstood me when i said coilovers. I think he thought i meant springs.. and only for a front install..

i made sure i was very clear over the phone.. but that was the end result. And being a large company i guess they have to honour such quotes- even if it was by error. :ph34r:

      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?
