dieselrolla Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 i saw on the forums that these are kind of rare! ;D they're pretty much ke70's with a higher roof and the 1C diesel engine pic is when i first got it and still had L plates :lolcry: has an auto gearbox but i'm going to convert it to manual when i find a decent gearbox/pedal set etc. for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-KE Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cool. I love that front end. Where are you located? Got any plans for it other than manual conversion? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselrolla Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 thanks man! well, i was going to get blocks for the back and some super low king springs for the front but then i had a quick look today and the suspension in the front doesn't look like it has springs (looks kind of hydraulic?) i'll have a proper look tommorow though. i'm from Christchurch in New Zealand so it gets really dirty all the time from the liquefaction from the earthquakes lying round xD other than that so far i've chucked some tints on, jvc head unit, speakers 800w sub etc. painted the dash and interior of the doors red and white with vynal spray which looks kinda cool, i'll get some more pictures up tommorow!

abbott Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Could be a torsion bar setup? This makes for an easy lowering but not sure of performance with lowering them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Adding LPG seems to be the best bang for buck with a diesel. Cheaper than a turbo, simpler & has similar power increase (20-25%) According to a comparison in a 4WD magazine between turbo/LPG/re-chipping for Landcruisers and Patrols.

abbott Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's a mixture of LPG and diesel so when it combusts it burns better, cleaner and more efficiently it's pretty awesome actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
