Dave, I use my car to drive around day-to-day and to do club motorsport like Kanacrosses and lap dashes etc.. Never been to the strip...sounds like a it'd be good for a laugh though! I don't like the fuel economy of the 4.11 diff, it is like driving around in third gear everywhere. Even now I still try to change into 6th gear more than once a week ;)
In terms of performance though it is great. A fully loaded government bus can out drag me down the 1/4, but there has not been much on the road that has been able to out launch me off the mark in 1st gear - and it surprises me more than it does them! Also there is enough torqe to get it sideways any time you want. I'll get some pics next week Nick ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Costello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 10:32 PM Subject: Re: Hilux Diff > would love some pics > I was interested in converting to rear discs > how do you find those diff ratio's for the strip? or do you only use it for > circuit work?
