Over $6 in Washington state. My JDM vehicle is a diesel. Went up about $1.35.

Delica by chance?

orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 162d (4 replies)

Yep.

Before that, LC 70 Series.

Nice! I have one too. Diesel is 5 here. I haven't gotten it out for the season yet. I don't drive it in the winter due to salt.

It's my mountain car here. We haven't had a winter to speak of this year and Washington does not commonly salt. They use sand.

What year is yours? I have a 94.

Obviously, not this winter.

I have a 95 Space Gear. I love it. Where do you get your parts from? I was getting parts from DelicaUSA but last time ordered I had to do a charge back since I never received them.

Canada, mostly. There are a couple places in Surrey. There's a dude on https://delicaforum.com/ who has stuff, too. I'll get back to you on the name when I'm not buried in work. It's a 2 hour drive to get parts from Surrey / Vancouver for me.

Also, depending on the parts, our vehicles share a lot of drive train and suspension parts with the similar year Montero/Pajero platforms. YMMV. More if you have a gas vehicle.

I really would like to do an intercooler mod to mine at some point, but it's not the easiest in my truck due to the cab-over and routing the pipes to the turbo correctly.

The Space Gear is arguably a better car all around, but I'm such a fucking nerd for boxy and quirky vehicles that the L300 is just a damned dreamboat for me.

America,

It's shit like this why the world outside your borders is so concerned with how your elections turn out.
