YUL 00Z runs very happily around town with 9-14psi which surprised me too, I
dont like the wheels much and the rest of the car is OK but it photographs far
better than it looks in the flesh (as most cars do). I think huge wheels on a
1600 look crap (IMHO), it's still got finned drums as the boys had a look at
the rearend of my 1600 a couple of months back an wanted to know the secret to
the disc rear end. They used all brand new bits for the front brakes and it
cost around $1000 plus pads (they're using Ultimates up from and porterfields
in the rear). It's the noisiest FJ20turbo i have ever heard and it's not a
particularly nice note, i think it has fabricated headers and a very open
muffler.
