What's the turbo 4A-GE in currently? And didn't you have some truck sized turbo that'll be useless on a 4A-GE anyway??? I thought your biggest concern was getting a correctly sized turbo first.

Well... I'm in cairns so everything rusts within minutes up here... I assume you'd have the same problem. I lived in Darwin for a bit actually... nice spot for a holiday if you can avoid being beaten up.

 

Anyhoo.... back on topic... the wreckers up here don't bother with older stuff so pretty much everything I need for my pre-1990 cars I have to source from the filthy filthy southerners and pay extortionate amounts of money to be freighted up here... ie: AE70's seats I purchased not long ago cost me $130 to get here from brissy. A bonnet is over 100, fenders 50, pair of tail lights 30 etc etc... so there's a price to pay for living somewhere with green vegetation and more than enough water.

 

So as far as crazy road trips go, yeah I'll be doing one shortly. Flying to brissy with my toolbox, raiding the wreckers and halfcut suppliers, renting a pantec and bringing back a whoooole truckload o stuff.

 

Oh and quite often when find a car for sale which may have a few good bits on it I'll hook the trailer up and quite happily drive to Townsville or somewhere out in the sticks like hours and hours away to go pick it up...
