karl

so this "sucking action" as you describe gave you more power and economy and yet u put back things to how they were initially.....

i guess i really lost in this world yes.

karl

yes the 3zz has power steering unlike the electric steering in the 1nz

the 3zz also has a timing chain like the 1nz
