new to surfs...turbo light question?

[gjay]

hi ..i recently bought myself a 1990 2.4td surf ssr in great condition,but i was wondering about the two turbo lights on the dials..the green one to the left (i know wat its for,shows when turbo is active) and the amber one to the right...wat does this one mean?? it only comes on for a short while before she starts then goes off again ! wat does this represent ?? many thanks gjay

Hi gjay, nice motor, looks like you need new rear springs though, SAS (saggy arse syndrome)

Nice motor GJay

Just joined the Surf owners myself

Love the Surfs shiney bits. Just been trying different polishes on the bumpers.

After some clear lenses for the front bumper







Really like the Chrome tubular bumper as well.

Still looking for some rear quarter Chrome trims to match.

Milner's for the springs.

mmmm shocks or springs ??

Hi gjay, nice motor, looks like you need new rear springs though, SAS (saggy arse syndrome)

wat do you think folk ...should i replace the springs ? or the shocks to fix the ''S.A.S" problem..keeping in mind this surf of mine has the hard or normal switch down at the gear stick,will this be a factor on the price,im not sure on how this works ??

[plumb bob]

I replace my springs with the +20% ones from roughtrax, and also a full set of ES9000 shcks, although I find them a bit firm, so you may want to look at the ES3000's and the hard/soft actuators are just left disconnected and tied up out of the way, cost is about £35 + vat each. and springs are about £70 a pair I think....

See how my surf sits with new springs fitted;http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/toyota...yotaSurf080407

Edit; just checked the details on those springs,and they have the 2" lift, so I think I must have got mine from Milners which are standard height but heavy duty;
