Hodge's new 4.2

[threedogs]

Well folks, I finally have an additional 1.2L sitting in my drive way. Very clean outside and inside 2005 4.2 turbo intercooled ST, in white, very low Ks !
Drove it from Adelaide yesterday and pulls like a freight train! Took me a but of getting use to going from 3L to 4.2 in terms of power and clutch but I had 750km to do just that ... Couple of issues to address, but no dramas. Now to get RWC, book it in with Vicroads getting transferred and regoed and off we go.
As soon as that is done first thing shes going in for a Snorkel and 3" pipe to let her breathe a bit better.

Oh yeah no more to say, well done

This fine specimen came up in Adelaide, my mate put me onto it. For the price, condition and super low Ks for a 2005 4.2, I couldn't resist.

There are some beauty's here if you look hard enough... I got a 2003 GU Auto ZD30 with only 140,000km on it a couple of months ago.. Totally stock and unmolested and in mint condition!

Yes that is exactly what I found! Around town the CRD got me places quicker, and was very zippy. But on the freeway (and I had 750km of it to experience it), even at 110km/h + the 4.2 ate the 3L for breakfast it just wanted more. Even hills were nothing for it in 5th.

I picked mine up in Melbourne and drove it home to Sydney. Got on the freeway, set cruise for 110 in 5th and never touched it until I got to Sydney (or a nature stop). Before this I drove my CRD auto down for a High Country weekend and while it got me there and back with no problems what so ever, it was hunting through gears on the hills and dropping back to 90-95 a number of times. I have not regretted getting the 4.2 at all and I'm sure you'll also be suitably impressed with yours. How many kms on it?

[Hodge]

90,000 mate. Very low compared to most 2005 4.2s out there.
And yeah you are right my 3L got me everywhere no dramas, but this on the freeway wins hands down. It ate dukes highway and western freeway for breakfast.

Just gotta jump through the SA to VIC rego hoops. A lot of conflicting info out there. Anybody went from SA to VIC in regards to rego before ?
