man i had a second look at your lux and i think i prefer it more with the 33inch claws over the 35's...just my opinion...looks a bit more in proportion, could just be me...but looks wiked either way

cheers
Dan

Bought a spare overheated 3rz engine for $100 from a guy that was going to turbo.

I stripped it all down to just the block, took the valve cover off to find alot of sludge.

Update

Still waiting on the 1 bowed piston that won't fit to send back to the states. Once done I wont be dealing with paradise racing again. The owner is fig useless with shipping.

Bought slotted rotors for my hilux for a bit more stopping power when the turbo goes in. Still trying to find a set of performance brake pads. Thinking about getting the bendix 4x4 ones but dunno.

I'm picking up a 600x300 intercooler and sard 1000cc injectors next Friday. Then all I need is a computer.

I'll be interested to see what you think of the brake upgrade Andy... something I've considered for mine although for offroad I've heard some say to stay away from slotted rotors and crap getting in them???
