Its common for the JDM ones we get here to have an extra single mirror there. Except mines a modded one from a 100 series which has the twin mirror design for front and side views.

Extra mirror...lol needed repainting then.... Done now :)

So I've owned my Tanzanian FJ80 for a little over 3 months and finally have it prepped and ready for offroading.... only to realize that there isn't a single club in my area.:bang: If you're out there in East Africa and want to join a group of like minded people with the plan to take up...

Thanks will get a hold of one here....

Disable the EGR and love for the 3fe keeps growing. Alot smoother and torqier today thanks to all the extensive guides from the MUD crew. On to the smog pump removal now :) Are there any other equivalents of the Gates belt? We dont get those kinda parts here...perhaps something in Denso?

You're absolutely right about the higher usage of diesel 80s here but im really a big fan of the 3fe and its reliability Anyways I tried post #24 looping method and it seems to work quite well. Just did my first drive and it feels smoother and has alot more pep. Hopefully nothing should go...

Does Post #24 really work. I live in a country where we have no BB guns or BB pellets and would really like to enjoy a piece of the EGR disable pie

It changed over to the FZE in 1993. The last 3FEs were seen in 1992 and I think had a vane type airflow meter. Just look at the plate under your hood near your firewall. It should specify what your 80 is being powered by.

So I finally threw out the cats and replaced them with straight pipes and did an o2 sensor refresh as well... ....and the results are phenomenal! Much more noticeable low end torque Improvement in gas mileage by about 3-4 mpg and I feel she's running cooler too. Next: EGR disable Later...

With alot of the mods suggested on here the 3fe can also have a certain sweet spot that makes it feel just right. I was skeptical when I purchased mine, but the 3FE grows on you. There's nothing like that ancient grunt that this engine bellows from under the hood. With 80s it truly all does...

Try going over your vacuum system very carefully. In my case the same problem turned out to be leaks... Runs great now!

The end result!! :)

Finally ready to check in to the 3FE clan! Bought this rig with really low miles but very badly maintained rig. Deep Blue was left to rot under the African Sun simply because its a gasoline powered LC. Being fond of the 80 series and always wanting to own one I took the plunge and turned it...

So I'm finally done with all the repairs and flipping. My LC is finally pic worthy and ive attached both before and after pics. Loving driving it! 3FE powah!
