    Greeting from Finland! New here and beginner with Hilux. My father had 1981 Hilux with 2.4D somewhere between 1988-1991. That was my first experience driving by my self. I was about 10 years then!

    I don't know why but Hilux has been very interesting choise for me. I have old GSX-R Suzuki and I need some hauling equipment for that. Also every day commuter for me is needed.

    Now I finally had a good situation to buy second car for our family. Here she is:

    Year 1989 Hilux Xrta Cab with 1,8 liter 2Y engine. One owner and only 48t km. It's like jump back to the nineties! :eek: Interior is like brand new. There hasn't been radio. Like EVER!

    I just ordered Cragar Soft 8 15x7 ET0 wheels for my old 205/70-15 tires. That is for winter time, maybe another set of those in 15x8 for next summer. I have been looking for Belltech sets also... Lowering 3/3 inch would be nice. :cool:

    Tomorrow I'll make new exhaust. Original exhaust is leaking and it sounds bad. I'm using universal 2" pipes and mufflers to build up something interesting. :shrug:

    You have nice and informative forum here! Thanks! :bowdown::clapping:
