Awesome.

Reckon there is anyway an A/C system could be adapted Dan? I reckon if anyone could do it, it would be you. And if anyone were to copy it, it would be me. :lol:

So, no problems with the boot mounted radiator? No temp rising in the stop-start?

I guess I'll get the BBQ sauce out & eat my words.... :oops:


My one excuse for not doin' a JC and trading up to the 4EFTE conversion has just evaporated.

Mokesta,

No probs with the radiator at the moment. On my way home i was enjoying the feeling of the turbo boosting and wheels spinning 8) and no real movement in temp gauge. The computer has been switching the fan on and off as required and all seems well so far.

My biggest complaint is that i spent $68 buying a new genuine toyota rear main seal and Murphy's Law its leaking :x . I don't won't to pull it apart at the moment but i know it will piss me off and i will end up doing it.
