    Power Steering Pressure?

    Washers are a great solution, bit less hit and miss too. Loving the howe ram too, they do make some lovely kit. No uk dealer for Howe unfortunately so we have to import and wait weeks for delivery. Zuffen, Yeh that sounds about right buuut a 2:1 steering quickener makes the steering twice as...

    Power Steering Pressure?

    I would also like to know this as i am looking to couple my standard 1uz pump to either a standard range rover power steering box with a 2:1 steering quickener (howe or coleman) or an Adwest quick ratio range rover power steering box. With both these setups some people have the problem of...

    Rebuilding a starter motor

    Thanks for that Found a friend of a friend who rebuilds them and says i can watch as it is quite a quick job when you have the bits, apparently the internals do match other toyotas but the starter assembly is engine specific. (gets round the bill for a spit and polish problem) Should learn...

    need wiring diagram for 93 ls400

    I have almost done deriving the 93 wiring diagram, have got almost all the ecu pinouts anyway, it is a weird one but it can be worked out from the 1990 and the 1996 diagrams on here, basically everything except the ecu plugs is as the 1990, (wiring routes and colours) the ecu plugs mostly...

    Rebuilding a starter motor

    Cheers for that, if a rebuild is tricky i'll give that a miss. being in the uk (small and expensive) nobody sells reconned starters on an exchange basis (unless anyone knows different to me) So i would have to take mine in to be rebuilt by someone who probably has never seen one before and...

    Wiring Question

    hi, I am currently rejoining the loom (cut at the bulk head) on a 1993 ls400 1uz. (its the alkward halfway between the two wiring diagrams on here loom, 1990 loom, paired injectors and a kv afm combined with 1996 ecu plugs. Fun!) The engine is being installed in a Tomcat off road racer so i...

    Standalone ECU DTA ECU, Does anyone have any experience of

    thanks for that, sounds like a good solution. i found your website from the link on the toyota owners club and it was your list i was weighing up actually. Keep getting dta as a recommendation but that is probably because a lot of offroad guys run rovers.

    Electric fans

    Some people fit the big ICE capacitors (1 farad+) to minimise surge with the big fan installs on on off roaders in the uk (dunno about anywhere else) cooling is a particular problem offroad as the combination of mud clogging the rads and low driving speeds drastically lower the cooling...

    Standalone ECU DTA ECU, Does anyone have any experience of

    As the title says really, this company offers 3 ecus, one of which looks very promising, heres a link to the specs page. http://www.dtafast.co.uk/compare_ECUs.htm i know they will run a 1uz as this company (see below) puts them on there trucks, unfortunately they are being very cagey with...

    World Best Car?

    There is one problem i see with the ls460, for us europeans anyway is that is is MASSIVE by our standards. Its over 6 inches longer than a current range rover and having driven one of those for a week i can say on uk roads it is a nightmare even with the improved visiblity of being so high up...

    World Best Car?

    yeh definately agree but when the top spec version of the atom is less than half that of the base ls460 you start really considering the two car game, my point being i would rather have two cars that do something specific exceptionally than one that is an exceptional all rounder.

    World Best Car?

    For me it has got to be the Ariel Atom.... i especially like the 0-100mph and back to 0 again time of 10.88 seconds! and 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds! 300bhp supercharged civic type r engine and a 500kg weight, not suprisingly it goes like a space shuttle. The styling is unique and really appeals...
