All true Just a few years old Nowdays there are sub 4sec passes At some big events the distance has been shortened to 300m for safety reason due to the speeds being attained That was about 4 years ago, so no sure if the 300m has become e the standard or been dropped Current standard time to rebuild ...

That would be impressive

Here are the numbers from last fill up

718.5km traveled
Took 36.058L after shacking the little Aygo
Works out to 19.92623km/L or 5.0185108L/100km

Toyota claims 4.7L/100, however it takes a whole different attitude to get those numbers, hence why I only got it once

kfxnando

The power ofa Etios would be nice However There is the fuel consumption of a smaller motor Filled up this week, got just short of 20km/L with plenty of aircon Then if Toyota dosent come to the party, then no way I can support them further My jeep, 200 000km plus, lifters make a little noise when col...

Hi I'm interested in buying a vehicle that has a Lexis motor (4l) fitted already. The seller is a middleman and can’t tell me who has done the conversion.

Maybe take the top of the carb off and see if there is fuel in the fuel boel, and then you might as well see what size jets are in every where
Mains and air correction jets

Know that3.5 is a lot of money
However just think of how long its going to last you then

Other options is trying someone else, like carburator city

Have not heard of barrels going oval before

Or you could look for second hand ones, if you find someone willing to sell

Good luck
