Toyota Surfs,Hilux and 4X4s.

^^hmm. but for the intercooler, would a vent or scoop make more sense?

since the Evo and GT4 has FMIC, are the vents just to remove heat?

[rippitt]

rippitt,
Did you try this yourself?

I am thinking about installing a scoop.

I myself i dont have a surf but got the advice from my uncle who did it with his surf. He has his about 5 years now with the scoop turned backways and no cracked windscreen.

[SNIPER 3000]

I think i will go that way....did he had any issues with the windscreen?

Thanks for your input.

[aidan]

Darn intercoolers. I need one with inlet and outlet on the same side! and small enough to fit arrrgh.

SNIPER 3000,how tings goin?

[SNIPER 3000]

aidan,
You called Toyota about the recall?


I will be installing that scoop, i will have room on mines. You have any idea where i can get one that will look good on the surf?


On the recall note did you check to see if yours was changed?

[aidan]

^^didn't get time today, i got my new batteries today, and had to go pick em up . I'll call them tomorrow yes. I see Duplicolor get new paints, thinkin about ricin up my engine bay a lil bit

if you doing a reverse scoop i think this might look good


or the STI scoop.

I also saw this kind which is pretty cool. Dunno if it will fit on the bump on the surf bonnet.


Has a foward facing part for the Intercooler and reverse part for extracting hot air.



I got one from a jimny turbo, it fits pretty good in the middle of the hump.but its pretty small and lookin kinda dotish.is like this





but one like this mounted around the middle of the bonnet will definately look awesome!!




I need to find a place that has a few so I can try and see yes. And get my bloody cam up and running to document what I doing lol.

[AllTrac]

get a scoop for the intercooler

[SNIPER 3000]

The last pic. is the look i am going for, let me know if you get any.

The fender trims, do you know where i will get the rubber seal that goes on, to seal it on to the body of the car?

[aidan]

get a scoop for the intercooler

reverse or foward?

[SNIPER 3000]

aidan,

Today i changed the sway bar links, the surf handles alot better.

One was shorter that the other, is your like that?

I replaced them both the same lenght, paid 170 for one..........cannot under stand how something so small is almost the price of a shock

[AllTrac]

get a scoop for the intercooler

reverse or foward?

forward, to ram air into the intercooler.

nutting wrong with asking, we have to remember that we were all there once in our lives, nutting is 2nd nature, while this might be simple for you Hayden, im SURE aidan coudl take your ass to school on offroading, 4x4's and suzuki's

[aidan]

haydn28, buh i jus ask a simple question.

AllTrac,thanks dude.ah takin off that dark tint too boy.

SNIPER 3000, nah boy, the both are the same size, they easy to change though, but important lol especially for highway/roads. You could disconnect them if you offroading though to get a bit more suspension travel in the rear and better articulation of the diff. Make sure and have them bolted up properly for onroad use!

[SNIPER 3000]

aidan,
Thanks for telling me about the panhard rod.

GRAND BAZAAR i saw a PCM surf SSR-X LN130 in best condition same model as ours, i spoke to the guy he said he was a returning resident, oh it came with a scoop looked good.
If i keep mines i will place the rear facing one, my engine donot need the forward facing.

[aidan]

^^hmmm, i was in penal about 3 weeks ago and i saw 2 PC* i sure they are not returning residents lol. how they getting them licensed? A LN130 and a KZN130! was the PCM you saw was it a blue and silver? i saw one fitting that description in curepe recently.

[aidan]

what yall think of the 2010 model?

[AllTrac]

that have vigo chassis orrr??

[SNIPER 3000]

aidan,

Yep blue and sliver........

2010 MODLE looks good.

[aidan]

^^me inno wa chassis it have nah lol, but it lookin odd lol, still better than a prado in looks. it have a trail version that supposed to be built for offroad.......but with all them electronics

[SNIPER 3000]

You feel the LN130 could handle like that off road?

aidan, You plan on doing any off roading with yours?

[SNIPER 3000]

aidan,If i keep the surf this is the look i going for......mines has the toyota bull bar.

[aidan]

SNIPER 3000,that lookin cool.missing a scoop but those vents lookin real wicked lol.

I dunno about the rock climbing with the LN130, but i think it can handle the same stuff as the 2010. Even though the 2010 one has dual barrel shocks and thing.

I did some offroading already, but i accustomed to smaller suzukis lol, so i wasnt able to hit my usual areas, the surf a bit more difficult to turn in smaller spaces. My pops went up in a quarry with it the other day, he say it handling nice up there. ill look for a safe place to take a quick run and let u know, but for now i not planning on roughin it up, cuz unlike the suzukis parts more expensive lol!

BTW, if you planning on doing a look like that get a separate set of rims for your mud tires and keep allterrain tires for everyday use, unless you put free wheeling hubs in front,cuz u gonna eat up your nice mud/offroad tires lol. And u mite cuss for tire noise on the highway. Had some interesting experiences with that on a samurai.

Finally got a chance to take a pic today. I took off the visor tingys from over the windows. A bit dirty, darn rain + valencia old road

[SNIPER 3000]

Hey, why did you take the visor off?
I looking for a set....i like them

Did you buy your tyres yet?
I have to get a set month end......off roading nice but i will not do it, i pet my rides.
Aidan you living in an estate?

[aidan]

^^one of the visors cracked and another got damaged when my garage gate got blown in thank goodness though, they saved the door/glass from damage, and the clips were getting a bit rusty,so i didnt want it to get my doors rusty. Ill keep an eye out for them,if i get a new set for a good price ill put them on.

No tires yet nah. Will get a set of ATs or SUV tires for the while, and put on a set of Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels (or something that looks like it lol) in april/may with some good AT/Trail tires.

MT Classic II
