Re: KZ-TE with Colt pump
Sharp thanks Johan, this was my message to Derren Hi Derren I dont have an intercooler, (just a chip and freeflow) SAC says it costs R9000 and at the time the extra cost just did not justify it for me as I first wanted to see if the fuel consumption might not improve if I am back at coast level whe...

Re: KZ-TE with Colt pump
Hi Desert Fox, my feedback. I have a 2001 KZ-TE, a 50mm lift, and 31" Cooper ST Maxx tyres. I also have a chip and an intercooler. If I measure fuel usage using the speedometer then I get 7km/l. However when I driving at 110km/h on the speedo, I am doing 120-122km/h true speed (on the GPS). So ...

Re: Cellphones in the workplace
The stylus gives you options.
No stylus and you will always wonder if you should have got one.
I would agree on no point in getting a stylus unless the phone & software is made for it (e.g. Samsung).

Looking for gear level boot cover for KZ-TE
Hi,
I am looking for this (circled in red). I've got the soft "leather" that covers it.
During a clutch change years ago it went missing. I am hoping that putting it back will cut down (even if a little) on the engine noise inside the cab.
Scrapyards? Toyota?

Have opted to go with Darrell.
Not much cheaper than OME but service was far better and of course the Bilsteins can be regassed so hopefully there will be future savings.
Now for fitment in 11 days time.

I doubt you will get a worthwhile fuel saving (if any).
Given your current driving style you will take advantage of the additional power.
The best method to save fuel is to adapt your driving style.
