Oh, for crying out loud

and slobbering down the sink! :)

I've created another monster :) ...I left the numbers blank because there is nothing to hate..

(except maybe the lack of cruise control)

My wife warned me this would happen...but then when do I ever listen to her... :laugh:

1. lack of drivers legroom

2. lack of drivers headroom

3. lack of backseat legroom once drives seatrail extended to make up for deficit #1

4. should have come stnd with a higher flowing turbocharger

WTF were you expecting?

If everyone loved their stag unconditionally, this forum would be a pretty damn boring place with everyone talking about how they AREN'T modifying their car because it is perfect just the way it is.... :)

The thing that I love about the car modifying culture is that everyone has their own ideas and perceptions on how things should be done.

Oh, and ALWAYS listen to She Who Must Be Obeyed....... :)

Just to piss everyone off

- I have a tow bar

- I have cruise control

- I have the gauges mounted nicely

- I have enough leg room

- I have a highflow turbo

- I have decent fuel consumption (10L hwy, 14L city)

- I have found the upgrade kit (Bilstein/Whiteline) excellent, double wishbones are the bomb

- I have wheels that look great, fit well and don't rub at all

- I have found aftermarket support pretty great, I've gotten every replacement part pretty easily. Just had to use my brain in some cases

BUT, what annoys me

- auto, 4wd and heavy (not AS fun, cant drift/skid it, chews tyres/fuel when on the fang)

So then my question, why isnt someone buying my reasonably priced, well equipped, well performing wagon?

1. I don't drive it enough to enjoy the superior handling from the double wishbone suspension all round :laugh:

2. I don't have enough time to fit all the parts I have for it in the garage

3. The fuel tank isn't big enough when towing the race car (which also has double wishbone suspension all round)

4. People keep wanting to borrow it, fast waggons are not exactly common

5. I keep thinking what it would be like if I just slipped an RB31DET into it :rofl:

:laugh: cheers :P

excuse my nOObness (again) but WTF is a RB31DET??

I have read up on the RB30 upgrade (and am currently in negotiations for my left testicle :rofl: )

as I think the torque gain makes it the most viable mod for the ol' family truckster but what is the 31 bit?

Overbore perhaps?

    • 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!
