Do you have a Toyota for when the Offender is broken ?

Do you have a Toyota for when the Offender is broken ?

Hahaha. Hmmm... No but I have a couple of E30s...

Not sure which is worse
It's generally been pretty reliable though apart from some previous bodged repairs in its previous life (gearbox that shit itself within a year of it being rebuilt, few electrical issues from badly repaired wiring... Worst one was a bare live starter feed cable over te gearbox that was obviously damaged from the gearbox rebuild and refitting )


Other stud then has just been a warped exhaust manifold which is understandable when it now has over double its original power.
Replaced wheel bearings as the 33s on ET-32 15x10s are hard on them.
Injector washers burnt out but they were only a 10 quid fix.


Have done about 30K with it and half of it has been towing the drift cars and other work with the farm and the other half has been offroading and driving the stones out of it so it has behaved fairly well for a Landrover I reckon


It's very comfy and nice to drive even on long spins with the seats, sound deadening and longer gearin but still looking forward to getting my Touring finished so can use the 110 for work and crap roads and the Touring for smooth roads and long spins when not towing anything.
