Thanks Tim
Next couple of jobs are to get the tank off as the gauge is stuck on half and fit an electric fuel pump that arrived today. Tim s making me a nice blanking plate for when the manual pump comes off[8D] Change the heater hoses and flush the rad.
Had a job to get a new rad cap today. I wanted a 15psi mini one and they didn't have one! Ended up getting a 14psi Merc one

One blanking plate for the fuel pump. And seeing as yours is the "high performance model"....................it's magnesium

Hey up Woolfy!
Well, all I can tell you is that on the way up to Tims, I achieved maybe 50mph without straining things and on the way home I achieved 70mph without straining things! ....it is worth mentioning aerodynamics of Tigger compared to a 'normal' van......I don't necessarily think the 'top speed' is the concern, it is how quickly and efficiently that top speed can be reached! ............forgive me rambling! , but whereas before I would have to scream the nuts off to be able to go from 2nd to 3rd and again in 3rd to 4th to maintain motion, now I can change through the gears without any thrashing and it will sufficiently pull sweetly through all gears.......The head skim gives shat loads more torque = power (not necessarily more top speed) .......My speedo head is a factory o/drive part which is a different calibration to standard...so my speedo reads apprx 5mph fast with the Lexus box, a standard speedo head reads apprx 10mph faster with the Lexus box.........all I can say is that according to my speedo, I can reach 60 - 70 mph with extreme ease and as I change through the gears it has plenty of grunt as opposed to feeling a massive 'flat' between gears before!....
I hope that answers your question

Just took the plunge and ordered a set of Munro Toyota Hi-Lux front shockers ...so another job to do when they turn up....me thinks me going to get cold over the next week....why do I always seem to get my enthusiasm bursts at the end of the season? .....

I think it's safe to say that Tigger won't bounce anymore

Any particular year of hi-lux for the shockers? A link would be cool.
