    Drag Radial

    We have used the Mickey Thompsons only, as they seem to be the best on the track, and we are very happy with them on the street (1200hp 68 Firebird) and also on a Fairmont Ghia (Crown Vic sized car) with 15" and 17" rims. They seem to be the tyre of choice with street radial race guys.... so we...

    LX470 Excess Fuel Consumption

    My friends LX470 gets 16l with him driving, his wife gets 14l. Another friends GXV gets 15l, and 20l towing his 30' boat. No magic, no smoke and mirrors, just plain fact. Anyone ELSE?

    LX470 Excess Fuel Consumption

    I will leave this thread alone now. 20l/100 is not right, I can name 5 others that are getting 15l or therabouts. If others here are getting 20l unladen, and are driving somewhat normally, it is excessive. Obviously there are not enough owners here, but thanks anyway. BTW, V6 commodore will...

    LX470 Excess Fuel Consumption

    Oh, ok. Does anyone have some first hand experience with these? Contrary to the people in Sydney, Melbourne Lexus/Landcruisers tend to get 15l/100 and mine doesn't. Are the tappets adjustable? If so, do they need regular adjustments? It seems quiet enough, but I am running out of things to...

    LX470 Excess Fuel Consumption

    My LX470 gets 20 litres per 100km, which is pretty bad considering everyone else gets about 15 litres. It gets 20 whether you are driving city, country, towing a small trailer in the country, anything! I have fitted a new (genuine Toyota) airfilter, Fuel Filter, and correct Platinum Plugs. It...

    LX470 Hydraulic Suspension speed override?

    I have a LX470, with the Hydraulic Suspension. If you Lower it, and go over 20 km/h, it goes back up to Normal. If you raise it, and go over 30 km/h, it goes down to Normal. Can this be overridden? I want to drive it on the Lowered setting, and get the FWA re-done to suit. Any Help?
