when you change the plugs on the 4G18..do you have to re-gap the clearance in the plug or does it come pre-set meaning if the NGK factory clearance is the spec for a 4G18...

Better performance. The previous owner of the vehicle said it increases speed a little bit. And i paid 200tt for them from a connection the previous owner has.

Once it reach a certain mileage i change them.

How long a power steering belt does last? I installed a gates belt about 8 months ago and it making noise, the mech tried to adjust it but siad that it needed changing.

Gates is good stuff

surprised that it stretch on you

all my belts in teh L200 (except A/C) are Gates - timing, balance shaft, 2 alternator, power steering

odd

whats the number for the gates timing belt on the 4G18....i changed it las yr and put an OEM timing belt but it still makes a kinda humming noise kinda similar to feedback on speakers from ur alternator when yuh have music but not so high pitched ...afterwards when i changed the tensioner (i know i was supposed to change it when i changed the belt but didnt) the mechanic backed off a lil tension and the noise got a lil quieter....he didnt want to go any slacker and he say is d belt makin that noise....any body ever heard bout that problem? mind you its an OEM belt from DM eh....

^ ^ ^ whatever u say pal

didn't get any hum when I did the 100k service on Blondie - used all OEM parts from DM (all belts, tensioners and seals), but I not anal, thaz strictly SHO

Prob you got a bad belt

I had NGK Irridiums in my CK for 3 years, ~ 60,000km and they were still good

Running V-Power in Blondie and regular in Silver (she getting irridiums next tune up)

has anyone here tried using the KYB GR-2 Shocks on their CS's (front and rear)
i want to change out these dotish bumpy riding KYB Excel G's that i have one...
what do you all recommend...OEM or the KYB GR-2 as they claim it gives a smooth ride like OEM with a more solid and sturdy feel to it...also thinking of puttin on some lowering springs to give d car a lil 1.5 inch drop or so....

excel G and GR 2 are the same buddy
