Yeah but it gave me the excuse to build a new one.
Me too . I know people over the years have said go V8 but I have no interest in going down that path with my bus. The old V6 is putting out 124kw at the wheels at the moment and if it gets 140kw that would be enough for me. I can get a couple of spare engines for next to nix and swap all my performance parts over if I ever blew my current donk or it started to burn oil. I love that I get 11kph with AC running. V8 would be a fair bit more fuel than that and when the price goes back up to $1.65 - $1.70 a litre in a few months time economy will be really important thing over massive torque gains. My current fuel bill is $80-$90 a week. When fuel goes back up it will be closer to $100 a week, depending how much I drive and if I had V8 it would be over $130 a week.
