Or Chaguanas to Rio, then back to Debe for doubles? Mr. Green

The Chag - Rio is about 1:15 - 1:30 hrs. I think Chaguanas is a good start off point. KFC in Montrose?

Cool scene... some of the guys could link up there....

wagon r · Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 2:55 pm Post subject:

actually, it would be a great way to meet. rally cars flying through the stages, plenty cane roads to drive thru, plenty cane hills to drive over and bush to go through.....

two days, great motorsport and plenty lime.

Wagon R....sounds like a plan. Let's see what the brothers say.

BTW Yesterday I did a 36000 km service on the pickup. I did the basics and changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter and cleaned the air filter. I'm using SAKURA for the time being. Van pulling nice again. I'm using mobile delvac1 full synthetic, changed at <7000km.

I let it drained for at least 30 mins to get out most of what was in there. There oil was really dirty and inside the fuel filter (12000km) was brown. Didn't have any amsoil to put into the new fuel filter, but when I get again, I'll put it in the tank. The way the fuel filter is placed makes it really difficult to bleed it.

I'm also considering using an original Toyota washable air filter which should last a while. Haven't been able to get the K&N yet.

I've been reading about the full synthetic Mobile Delvac and considering running it for 9 000 - 10 000km and changing the filter at every 5000km. It would be good if there was anywhere locally where I could get oil samples tested. I know we've been through this but I'm still open to suggestions.
