Hey Chris,

You can adjust the clutch a little via the adjustment mechanism on the clutch pedal inside the car.

I know what you mean by the mechanical engagement of the gears, thats normal but crunching and grinding doesn't sound normal to me. Make sure you are fully depressing the clutch pedal before changing gear, ie not starting the throw the gear lever before the clutch is fully dis-engaged.

Regarding the Idle speed, well mine used drop ~100-200rpm when the thermo fan kicked in but would return to 800 odd a second or so later. I guess there is a lot of current draw from the fans (Aircon and Thermo). I solved it but adjusting the idle speed screw a little to bring the idle up to 900-950rpm, that way when the fans kicked in it would still drop a little but the felt drop in idle was not as dramatic. You can always buy another stepper motor but it is $$$ and yours is probably still functioning, just not as well as when new.

The Rattle, sounds cat converter related, pretty common it seems.

Hey Chris,

I don't know of any south of the river apart from Crockenberg Motors in Welshpool, but I don't know if they do inspections.

Your best bet is to take it up to Tenagah as they do pre-purchase inspections and will hand you a piece of paper worth a lot more to you than the $300+ one the RAC will give you telling you the seat material is worn, or there is sign of wear on the tyres.

I think Tenagah charge $150-$200 for an inspection that includes a compression check (unsure if leakdown is checked). Either way the RAC do neither of them.

Best of luck :smt023

I had these on my GSR



Toyo Proxes 4

They were around $180 from memory and were fantastic in the wet, dry and on gravel.

I couldn't get them to lock on braking and understeer was only apparent when REALLY pushing in a motorkhana.

I had them for around 10 000km (and sold the car) and they would had worn by maybe 5%.
