I get better fuel economy towing with my Ranger Wildtrak than I did driving around town in my ss ute :P

Yeah I take it that it does a better job too, even if the radical is nice and light....

Was at 90 degrees that trailer

thats after I drove a car back on it to flatten it ouT

snapped at the drawbar due to old age and rust

 

tyre rack was holding it together

 

fully rebuilt now with extra tie downs 

new pain 

and 3 x 5mm reo bars along the full length ( stock trailer rail is 2mm) image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

Hmm I just bought a new tow car myself.....after all this time I still get impatient waiting for shipping and compliance....

How boring are you blokes, who gives a shit about some fat flogs 4 ring circus suv with wow 240 kays and his shitty old trailer.

I think that we are all very intrigued wondering what Duncan's new tow car will be considering that it will be a JDM variety.

Could it be a Cima, Gloria, Cedric or even a President in all wheel drive configuration?

You know me too well Charles, actually I recently gave up on a 4wd Cima after Iron Chef couldn't find a good one in 12 months of auctions. The Cima I drive to work has been awesome and I think would make a good tow car in 4wd. Anyway this so this is what I'm going for instead

or something similar anyway.

No need to tow, fit your pedal, err 'race' car in the back lol.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
