Kiwi's Do It Better... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I've been looking at cars and engine set ups from all over the world through TN and other sites and forums... I've come to realise us New Zealander's seem to have tidier set ups, it's just a weird observation I thought I'd share.

There's many AE's on "tradme.co.nz" that just seem a lot tidier than ones I've seen floating around in cyber space.

Next point, I pulled the motor out of my car to do clutch and cam belt during the weekend... Screw doing that again, I'm buying something rear wheel drive after that lol. KP60 or KE70, GZE/GTE and T50 of course though.

why did you pull the whole motor for the belt and clutch? I would've done one thing first, then the other. If I'm pulling a motor out of anything, except my r/c car, it must be getting a replacement motor...

Don't they have more access to parts than the US?

Diesel, damn near impossible to do it in-place.

Yes, we have A LOT more access to parts, I'm meaning more in the custom sense of things, I don't know what it is, was just something I thought I'd bring up... Guys, I'm sure (depending on cost etc) the Kiwi guys would send parts over, I know I would.

I send JDM parts overseas very frequently. I've got 3 boxes waiting to be shipped tomorrow morning to the US, Canada and Australia
