2nd iz good, az nark said! Not as much slammage going on by the time you're going for third [+ I miss the darn thing half the time]. This may be my downfall at the drags will have to wait and see...is it just me or does your cars gearbox get tighter when you are driving hard? I find third gear needs to forced a bit - but only at high load / revs? hmmm

3rd has the best range though from 25 / 30 all the way up to 150+ in mine :P [on the track that is].

oh yeah i like corn chips :)

yeah when i drive hard, 5 gear crunches in

otherwise normally it just slots in

and yeah 3rd is a bitch to get in when flooring it

i always get huge gear crunch when i take off at the lights

very embarrasing

not that i speed or anything....

well i like 5th gear the most, COS THAT'S THE F*CKEN ONE I'M IN THE MOST!!!! (5th @ 60 so the car isn't too stressed) :)

EDIT: i find that 2nd does not like to change smoothly after reving 1st a bit. But going to 3rd and 4th i can change real quick.

But then again i have a TOTALLY different car to u guys.

Let's just say it's shy of a few litres and turbos :P

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
