Let's face, it's a good looking rig..........

Post by lopar »

after reading many a post, decided to bedliner (duplicolor) the front bars, love the turnout. (after having had the bumper off for 3 months.......)

Got rid of the typical large fog lights and went with some smaller driving lights (looks better IMO)

Started pulling the HHO kit out; found that it only gave back around an extra 30km to a tank (and that may only be my driving style trying to "believe" in the kit) :mrgreen:

Update: cold starting issues are gone, honestly do not know what fixed it for sure, I replaced the injectors with brand new ones and replaced glow plug wiring (4 x 10gauge wires), do not know what fixed it, but starts fast and easy, idles smooth right away and no missing / does not "die" in first minute with white smoke (as others have had problems)

The CY55 that have been in there for last 10 months; tested them all, and they all burn hot <1 sec off battery and charger that have (after researching, same plug as Mitsubishi OEM, < $, your choice, about $150 shipped out of UK)

Likely moving to Quebec and must leave RHD world (until I return to BC)

of course if anybody is interested............ $11800 for my awesome rig, see delica trader for more info / specs. One time, very short notice Christmas special, $10,000 straight up if I can have a buyer next 48 hrs (found a vehicle that I want that I would have to buy now as well, never go this low again) (ends Monday 19 Dec 2011 at noon, lose my other vehicle by then), willing to take couple hundred dollar deposit and meet in Nanaimo for a foot passenger........

As I mentioned in another post, I have to return to LHD world and I am drooling over Quad cab Tacomas right now, is this a mistake? and why?

Very nice looking rig. I don't know if I could sell mine for a truck, I just love the Delica

As do I, it sucks searching for a vehicle without looking at the RHD line up, this was my third one: Had a '91 Mitsubishi J53 Jeep (my personal favorite), '92 LJ71 Landcruiser (mint, very nice rig, would go LJ73 if I had the choice), and my current rig (kids aren't very happy, they love the vantage point for looking around).

probably 3 years......

already thought about storing it at parents place, don't really have the finances to flip another vehicle (also thought about living downtown minus a vehicle)

and the 3 years is only a questimate....... I guess that means I have 3 years to find a loophole in Quebec policy! :mrgreen:

Why not import a LHD diesel rig?

BTW, that is an absolute steal for the amount of work/money that is in that L400. You're going to make someone real happy this Christmas with that rig!
