drift_bear Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 For the last 6 months ive been after a decent daily driver and i knew i was wanting a pick up again so was hunting for a well looked after and low mileage expample. I couldnt find one at the time so i got a small 1.6, 57plate focus to use untill i found a pick up that wasnt abused or in a state..................finally my waiting has paid off and the local garage had 1 come in that fitted what i was looking for so went and viewed it. After working out a deal with my focus as P/X i got my hands on her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very nice, always been a fan of that shape and tempted a few times but put off by rep. You got me thinking again tho as my mileage is creeping up on my zed (a whole 1300 miles now) and I need something for the dogs. Do the rear seats come out of those? (i have big dogs).

Robzki Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've checked on the welsh forums and it seems you can easily get 6 sheep in the back after a good night out, so big dogs should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 There was a Big Single 2JZ L200 on ebay a while ago. I assume someone will have linked to it on here! Good work tool the L200! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just a tip for you, remove the EGR valve and cooler as it is known to kill many K74 engines when they fail by causing overheating and headgasket issues (as well as cracked blocks) Very easy to do using this kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EGR-REMOVAL-BLANK-KIT-L200-OUTLANDER-SHOGUN-SPORT-4LIFE-WARRIOR-ANIMAL-K74-/270899982139?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f12e5af3b Also get a decat which dramatically improves throttle response and MPG. Had two of these now and they are definately fun. Had mine out for a play today [GRIN][/GRIN] [ATTACH=CONFIG]145773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]145774[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got a set of HID's and LED sidelights to order aswell this week for her. Where would I get a de-cat pipe for the standard exhaust system or did you upgrade that aswell?

Dave F Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Had a Storm decat on both of mine, great fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mitsubishi-l200-2-5-diesel-stainless-steel-decat-pipe-/250969143099?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a6eed373b The cat will be a nightmare to remove without heat but worth keeping for future MOT's although the first one I took off got me £60 from the scrappys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
