Well after seeing Vato Loco's rig with the clear tails I have to have some for mine. So can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my hands on a set???
I reckon they would look sweet on my dark blue rig

Jason B could probably hook you up. Not sure though.

They stopped making them about a year or so because they aren't legal for road use in the US. You can sometimes find them on Ebay.

Are the car modification laws strict in Ireland?

All mods are "supposed" to be declared to your insurer. But rarely are... The cops usually turn a blind eye to mainstream motors but the "boy racer style boys" get a lot of hassle.

Lights and stuff dont get much attention

That's about the same as in Holland.
They mostly pick on ricerockets and the smaller german cars.

The big boys are mostly left alone. I've got stopped several times before and it turned out that they were only interested in my car instead off my driving skills (or lack off)

I have seen some crazy videos from Europe. What's with all the guys the push on the front of a car, while the driver floors it, and does a huge smokey burnout?

Know what I mean? I think I saw it on Real TV or something. It was crazy.

Of course, we all know American youth are little angels.

We call that: FUN

Ha Ha its only the underpowered ricers that need lads pushing the car back. Not enough power to spin the wheels. What you need is big bhp rwd cars..... something like the mkiv toyora supra I used to own

But anyway, back to the clear rears. I keep an eye on eBay for them, anywhere else I can look?

Yep, your absolutely right. About the horsepower I mean.
That's exactly the reason I swapped my V6 for a 24V supra engine.
Hope to have it running this weekend.

Oops, I forgot.
try: http://www.autodynamic.com
I have found several on the net, but none for a '90 4Runner. I'm not sure about yours.
O, and that reminds me. How many horsepower and torque has your 3.0 TDI? I've found an adress for a larger intercooler and electronic mod that should provide some 40 extra horses. They claim 165hp and 340 Nm with 1.05 bar turbo pressure.

The power on the 3.0tdi is 126hp and 290Nm, so that mod sounds very nice. Whats the link to the site?

Check out this link for info on the Surf I have...

I've got a German off-road magazine where there's a whole page about the mod.
I believe their website is http://www.orc.de.

Vato Loco

I found an ebay auction for anyone who is interested:
