Fancy hilux at work has this but it gets confused by two 10kph signs right next to each other and says your good for 110kph

Bash plate plus custom sump that is wide and high? Mod pickup to sit closer to the crank and add big wings to keep oil capacity up so you get more metal to road clearance?

Did the same with my emission spec import hiace. Got a carb off a NZDM hiace bolted straight on. Blocked off excess vac ports and ripped out all the gubbins/solenoids. Didnt worry about the dizzy. Powered up the auto choke clock spring thing and it worked perfect off the bat. Ran way nicer with better economy, would start and idle fine with the idle dropping back as it warmed up.

Pretty sure the coolant loop for the TB is only for stopping it freezing up in cold temps. Have you cleaned the IASC? Even abit of carbon on the barrel will get it sticking and making it idle high. They dont run a cold start injector like earlier motors so its really up to a wiring problem or a sticking IASC. I remember @Spencer saying they needed a voltage signal after key off to reset the IASC otherwise they did the mischief your talking about or something similar

Adapt the levelers with a bolt on them so you can use a battery drill and a socket for speedy leveling

Theres a guy I see commuting a burgman thing most mornings, hes always across the intersection when the lights go green before the cars have even moved

Strip it down when you get it cause qc is average and so is sealing especially if using it in a marine environment plus they use sfa grease in the gearbox so pack it full of grease and goop it back up with silicone

Dual batteries was a cold weather option or something Had a surf with dual batteries running 12v Was great for parties in the wops could run the stereo all night without going flat

It must be a corolla thing cause my zze122 is the same Anything over half a tank the needle barely moves giving me a sense of max ecom on pertol Get to half tank and can almost see the needle moving

100% make up a bash plate, even a thick alloy one that will grind itself away instead of the gearbox. Had similar clearance issues with my townace and it had a alloy bash plate that I has a cardboard template stashed away for. Was easy to whip up a new one from a sheet of scrap when it got a bit thin Also was the box from a floor shift morse cable linkage van? Id say you need to do some fettling to the adjusters to get the column linkages talking to the box properly or if the swap with the gearbox mount setup has dropped the box down a few mm that can be enough to throw everything out of whack as I found when my gearbox mount collapsed

Lexobarge IS220D sounds like a lush option but they are thin on the ground in NZ
