    thought i'd pop in and say hi to the biggest minitruck forum that ive found.
    i am planning on getting a daihatsu dump or a carry dump scisor in srping 2013

    awesome vehicles. but there arent any eary HP adders.


    has anyone tried better fuel? ie. 89, 91 or 94 octane? notice any difference in response besides better fuel mileage?

    looking for a scisor lift/dump kit and its cost.

    any help appreciated.

    the higher octane wont really give you a difference

    damn... i was hoping it might.
    finally bought a minicab yesterday, just have to go pick it up.
    in need of repair, paint..... it'll be a nice project at 2200$ for the vehicle and probably 1000$ in parts and paint.

    head gasket, full repaint to white from military green. not sure if i soulld buy the dump conversion kit out of the states or a snow blade(we get lots here)(prince george), remove cab, clean everything. between myself (automation technician/ medium mechanic) and my friend, (long time back yard mechanic/ parts guy/ Nurse), just need a paint guy..
    will hve it in my insulated shop, just need heat.
    pics of before, and will have progress pics as we go. 1st teardown/inspection, next ordering and paint(while waiting) (LUNCH INCLUDED) 3rd re-install.

    should have it ready to go, just around the time (HST)Harmonized sales tax 12% changes to (PST+GST)provincial+government sales tax "only 1 for vehicles"@7% in april... Blah this is getting long.
