I've surprised a few people, my favorite would have to be a gen III commy ute Smile

She pulled around 200hp at the wheels when i had it dyno tuned, but the clutch started slipping something fierce on the dyno.

So i should be good for more than that once i can get the power down Smile

I've got the new clutch on the way, finally. Might get a better idea on what she'll do down the quarter mile now, also what power figures i'm actually getting.

Getting the clutch custom made by direct clutch in albion, should be good for around 400hp apparently Smile

Just got to do that hilux 4 spot/pug disc conversion now and start investigating a LSD disc brake rear end and i'll be sweet Smile

New clutch is in, my god did it make a difference. I must have been losing a fair amount of power. Just got to bed it in and then i might think about doing some drag work in it Smile

Negative, i'm gonna sort out some traction issues before i bother. Hilux LSD disc brake rear-end would be nice Smile

Haven't had much time though, having a house built and doing renovations at the same time Sad

siiiik sleeper wagon!! Shocked
Had anyone interested in purchasing your beast as yet??
Some 1/4mile times may help to impress buyers. Engine looks tidy.. you'll surprise a lot of people on an open road!!
Gotta love it!

Good luck with the sale - hope it goes to a good home!! Smile

Cheers mate, It definately gets a few suprised looks Smile I've got a guy coming to have a look at it so who knows.

As for the quarter mile times, i estimate low 13s Smile I can't really be bothered doing a run in it at the moment. If any buyers want to know it's potential they can come for a drive Smile

I've spent a couple of grand on the suspension, so it handles pretty good for what it is Smile
