Well let's see...
 
Bought an 05 CTS-V
 
Modded the Legacy pretty heavily. May be selling it on Monday for $17k. Probably will try to find a 07-09 Spec B to replace it, or was thinking C5 Z06.
 
Been busy trying to get AZP Installs rolling along a bit more.
 
Lots of track events.
 
That's about it.

Re: 2010 Toyota 4-Runner "Trail Grade" [rsholland] by grahampeters

G'day
 
I am not 100% sure but think there is a differnce between the Prado which is part of the Landcruiser lineup and the 4Runner which was originally derived from the Hi-Lux.
 
The Prado sold in Australia is a serious 4WD, although less truck like than the full size Landcruiser. \The 2010 modle was launched a week or so ago, actually being launched in Ausrtalia before Japan

The 4-Runner has not been sold in Australia for many years, probably because it would overlap with the Prado market segment.
 
Cheers

Graham,
 
As you probably know the Prado is sold here in Lexus dealerships, badged as the GX 470, which with the new soon-to-be-released model, will become the the GX 460. All they did was change the grille, and move the door-mounted spare to under the vehicle. I believe the chassis and running gear is the same as a full-boogie 4-Runner.

Oil puddled around sparkplug wells by raybud

Greetings. I am changing the spark plugs on my 2002 Outback, 2.5 ltr engine. I found oil puddled in the space at the top of there sparkpug wells where there appears to be gaskets. The plugs are not oil fouled and there is no oil running down the outside of the engine. Is this something I should be concerned about?
 
Thanks

Will make do
 
Their present V6 has very little better performance than their present four. The DI four probably has both more HP and torque than the present six.
 
Now let's see a DI four in the Forester!

This simply means that you have a bad gasket in the valve cover. It will likely not affect your vehicle's performance, but you should plan, at some point, to pull the covers and replace the gaskets. I suspect the leak is not bad at this point if it is not leaking from the boot area.
