How's the ride? Firm or really firm? How big was the drop? And was the height drop adjustable? Sorry for all the questions, I'm considering getting these..haha thanks.

The ride isn't too firm, but it can be a bit uncomfortable on fairly rough roads. Max. drop is approx. 2" front and 2.5" rear (where they're presently set at), but can be adjusted higher.

Jesse how are the coilovers going? any probs or complaints?

also i dont like raised boot spoilers but i really like this :whistling:

The only issue i've encountered so far is that the rear springs knock over some bumps, but i'm pretty sure it's because i had to leave out the rubber upper spring mount during installation, since the stock mounts won't fit over the adjustment thread.

Also, i've currently got my sights set on this... :spiteful:

Thanks for the feedback on coils Jesse, do you have Tanabe GF or NF? that carbon spoiler will suit your ride to the ground.

Saw you today then before i left i couldnt find you to say Hi... Car looks hot as usual ;)

Do you mean the black rubber that the red arrow is pointing to below?

And also, how are the back adjustable? Aren't the tanabe coilover set just springs and shocks at the rear? :huh: Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply guys (computer troubles :( ).

The coilovers i got are the GF model. From what i've managed to decipher from the Tanabe site, they're stiffer and more track focused than the NF (thankfully not back-breaking though).

For the rear height adjustment, the spring perch and locking ring are fitted to a threaded sleeve (gold coloured bit in the pic). :)

How does it sound mate?

It sounds great! It starts out as a deep rumble at low revs, then becomes a loud roar from about 3500rpm onwards. :D

no prob with the maf sensor jesse ?

No problems at all. Everything went in pretty smoothly. :)

I also randomly decided to remove the engine cover and the front panel.

Thanks Charlie, i'll be at the annual meet for sure! Fingers crossed for good weather.

At the moment i'm finding the exhaust to be very loud and droney, but the guy who installed it said if it gives me any troubles he will redo it and try to make it quieter.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
