It does have vac assisted front discs, but we've been looking at rear disc setups and larger front calipers if it needs them (which I suspect it will!).
Once shes running nice I'll post some video |

In standard form these motors are: Maximum power: 125 kW @ 4800 rpm
Maximum torque: 292 Nm @ 3200 rpm, and consumption is approx: City-12.5l/100km Highway-8.0l/100km. |

*Quick bit of maths*
168 hp
22 mpg city
35 mpg highway
That's good send me one please (my EJ20 NA, 2 litre bus box in bus) gets around 22 city and 28-30 on highway. 33mpg if I keep her around 50 mph (80 clicks) _________________ The advice you receive on here is worth the paper it's written on.

It's not a limit, it's a target
ta, I hadn't actually realised that
Out of interest, are Aussie gallons US gallons (3.8 litre) or UK gallons (4.5 litre) ? _________________ The advice you receive on here is worth the paper it's written on.

according to the 'Aust. National Measurement Institute' 1 gallon = 4.5lt.
We converted to metric in the early '70s so there's not alot of people that still
measure in gallons. |
