Baie welkom Fanie!

My skoonma bly in Humansdorp, so ek kom darem so af en toe in daardie deel van die wereld!
Sal 'n plan moet maak om bymekaar uit te kom. My ander ernstige belangstelling is ook fotografie - Canon man!

Cheers

Hallo Fanie

Sal net graag wil hoor hoe groot verskil is daar tussen die 4.2 en die 4.5 wat jy tans ry. Ek het ook n 4.2 en geniet hom erg baie, sal graag wil weet in terme van brandstof verbruik , ry gerief , het jy op die 4.2 ook n OME suspensie of iets dergliks gehad. So af en toe spring n 4.5 te koop maar dan wonder ek is daar werklik so groot verskil om mens nou weer bietjie in die skuld te dryf of moet ek eerder wag vir n goeie 4.8 en myself nog dieper innie skuld dompel

Groete
Jules

4.2 vs 4.5 ?

Post by Fanie1 »

Hallo Jules,

Beide die 4.2 en 4.5 is puik voertuie. Die 4.2 is "carburator" en 4.5 petrol inspuiting, soos jy weet. Ja die 4.5 het meer krag, ek het onlangs 'n dyno instelling laat doen en hy staan tans op 141Kw. Die stap 1 Van der Linde Conversion is daarvoor verantwoordelik.

Wat rygerief betref is die 4.5 ook beter, al is daar nie dramatiese versille in die onderstel nie. Jy kan OME ook op die 4.2 sit, ek het dit gedoen en dit was 'n wenner.

Wat brandstof betref kan ek nie groot onderskeid sien nie, dit hang maar af hoe swaar jou regter voet is. Ek dink tog die 4.5 is 'n rapsie ligter in my geval. As jy nie te haastig raak nie en nie vinniger as 110 km/u ry nie gaan jy redelik goeie resultate kry. Die "lift" en dakrak het ook 'n invloed.

Groete

Fanie
