Very nice indeed. Finally another FJ car on the forum besides mine and Defdes.

What type of HP are you getting out of her ? I bet she is a handfull to drive when at peak boost. :shock:

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of exhaust muffler you are running and it's size? I searched and searched for something of quality in that style and could not find anything. They are mostly the coffee canisters available now days. I ended up with a Borla canister...the smallest/narrowest I could find.

If you don't mind.....I may have a few questions in regards to FJ's here in the near future. I will try to keep them to a minimum.

Thanks in advance

the tune isnt finished yet as i need to upgrade fuel system and plum the screamer pipe back into the exhaust. It made 335rwhp on a dyno dynamics dyno.
Its definitely fun to drive.

It was the best money i spent on the exhaust as it eliminated the drone while cruising at 2500-3500rpm

After 12 rego's on the datto, it was time to replace the worn suspension parts. The front shocks were gone, springs had sagged and the bushes
were flogged out.
I have now replaced all the balljoints, tie-rod ends, castor rod bushes and the sway bar link and d bushes with
some nolathane ones.
While this was apart i got Baz from Datsport to send me a pair of 200B coilover struts with KYB inserts and King springs.
With any luck tomorrow i will be aligning it and taking it a drive
