You mean low car friendly?

I have coilovers but it's not ridiculously low so I don't scrape shit, have no dramas with the carpark at Perth station. Throw a button clutch and a 2way into the mix though, and carparks are always an exciting adventure :(

last time i drove a car with a button clutch was a hire car nissan pulsar i think about 2yrs ago, that thing was a disgrace haha dropped a good skid tho especially when u were just trying to take off normally.

yeah didnt even leave first gear, had about 10 cars waiting behind me last night, was good times.

excellent feed back. cheers for ur input guys.

*Note to self, never go in there again.

my car is pretty damn low, have GAB Sports adjustable coilovers and always seem to be able to park at ROE ST CPP all the time no problems, just have to go sideways at every turn... suspension has always been okay

"go sideways at every turn" -- so that was you in Tokyo drift? :)

with lowered suspension and a body kit you're always going to scrape on things

with practice you will learn exactly where the front of your car is and how much of an angle you need to take to get up certain ramps etc

i have also found the car park under the library to be quite friendly

"Go sideways at every turn" I think he just means take the hill at an angle and very slowly.

The Alexander Lib carpark is def more friendly if you can get a park there. Less level changes and still close to everything in Nthbridge.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
