Has anyone changed their externally regulated alternator for an internal one? If so what did you use? I've got a beach buggy with a 4K and really want to tidy up the wiring and if I can ...

I have 205/60/15 on mine currently. Was thinking of going to 215/40/18 and free springs from mag and turbo but dont wanna have to deal with tyre rubbing etc... Anyone know what offset ill need to avoid it?? And if they only give you one sort of spring etc... or which is better if they have a couple ...

My Caldina is shocking on gas. I get like 270-300ks for $70 around town and that doesnt really change for open road driving... And thats not boostn everywhere either... Oh well, the price of boost i spose...

$22G does sound quite high to me for a 2001. I got mine (just over a year ago) for $15500.

I managed to get a 3 year unlimited km warrantly from NZ Drive for $1G ...

Hey peeps

Am now the proud owner of a 1998 GTT Caldina and i must say that im very impressed with how it goes. No prblems with passing on the open road.

or a hour to some snow

rock on new plymouth

One of the few other places... Been to New Plymouth and must ...

Yea, Himiz is 20 mins from Maxwells Line to the first judder bar and often less... But like you said thats from the outskirts almost. But it is very easy to do it under 20... And probably will be a whole lot easier in the new Caldina...

Just another quick question. Any Caldina owners know what the computer thing above the airvents does?? Its all in Japanese on the one i looked at??

Hey peeps

Well ive been reading the forums on all the caldina topics for a while now but the comparison doesnt seem to have been made with what type of Caldina to get and the pros and cons of both. Yes i have searched.
