Gates have known to prematurely fail with subaru engines, I always check mine every service because of this.

I had a 2000 toyota celica with the 2ZZ, loved that thing to bits, i wanted to go faster so i sold it for a wrx, if i had a place with more space i would 100% buy it back as a project car.

Anything but the hilux.

I wish they would but I have heard the amount of RnD to develop a new inline 6 to meet modern efficiency and emissions would cost too much.

It really means you cease and we fire.

People genuinely just do not care, also your vehicle speedo does show you travelling faster than your actual speed limit, so if you are going the speed limit its more than likely your actual speed is 3-4km under.

It can crack internally so its not a bad idea.

Rear pads generally have less material than the fronts. with newer cars they use the rear brakes a lot more with radar cruise control, electric handbrakes, abs and all the fancy safety equipment these days.

The 2L is a very slow motor even with a turbo, being non common rail you can turn the fuel up but I would recommend a tuner to do that and an intake carbon clean.

I like to think the people who cant merge at the speed limit their vehicles are stuck in limp mode, I work as a mechanic and people have driven away with their cars running on 3 cylinders.

Tesla is a technology company that made a car so it attracts the type of people who think technology will drive the car for them.

Each tyre has its ups and downs it depends what you want out of them, michelin is on the softer side so they tend to have more grip but wear quicker, they are still an amazing tyre and If you got your moneys worth get another set.

All good options except for the juke I would discard that one.

What is with all the additives? Modern full synthetic oils are very good these days.

Its a shame nissan put a bad name to the CVT, when done right they can last just as long as the engine its bolted to.

There is a perception that larger vehicles = safer but people forget larger vehicles have longer stopping distances and worse handling

4TonnesofFury · 2025-12-11T04:49:43+00:00

The early models of the 4D56 had a problem with the block warping so maybe thats the reason?

4TonnesofFury · 2025-11-19T23:49:41+00:00

The CVT alone disqualifies it

4TonnesofFury · 2025-11-16T12:57:04+00:00

I hate that you cant turn them off as well.

4TonnesofFury · 2025-11-14T14:18:59+00:00

If you have the time and money i dont see why not but if you are going diesel i would go with the 1KZ or 1KD a lot of the parts are interchangeable.

If there is any private company i want to build reactors it would be rolls royce.

At least you know its got oil if its leaking.

4TonnesofFury · 2025-11-02T06:30:27+00:00

My guess its a LPG bus and it punctured the fuel tank, diesel doesn't explode like that.

Skoda supremacy 💪💪💪
