i'd be scared to drive on the road.i expected it to be slow,but wow

it won't even powerbrake on grass


stock 100,000mi. 4cyl+auto=no good

Lol my 78 wont do it either I even tried in the gravel on the side of my house and nothing. Its probably the auto trannys that we have which robs alot of power from the little engine.

When my '75 had the four banger and 4 speed I could get them goin pretty good, but now thats a different story with the new drivetrain.

About a year ago I was on vacation for a few days in Ocean Shores, Washington and there was a couple that was also down there goofing off that had a 2wd shortbed with an automatic that had a beefed-up four-banger that could light up it's tires pretty good.

I don't know if they did anything to beef up the automatic tranny...but it was pretty impressive to see a Luv with a four-banger and an automatic tranny that had some serious power.

But without doing what that guy did...that is building a de-smogged g200 motor with a g180 head, adding a custom cam, electronic ignition, offy intake , a weber, and a header with a decent exhaust system...the poor little stock g180 with it's stock POS hitachi carb just isn't packing around enough ponies to get the job done.
