p.s... you still got them old roof bars? haha

[sam16v]

lol thanks again thats my favourite comment yet (looks like it could invade a small country) cracked me up. As for wheels and lift etc there 33-12.5-15 on 10 inch rims. Suspension lift is a SPOA with llama Add a leafs, nothing special.

Oh sorry no the roof bars went to the scrap yard in the sky thought nobody would want them.

Magnificent.

Is there much work in changing an engine, Id love to mine one day. For something with injection.
Are there things to look out for? Mounts etc.

Thanks

No engine wasnt to bad at all, i made mounts as i didn't have the original 1.3 ones.
Wiring took a little bit of head scratching as it was out of a late (99) vitara which had an Immobilser etc, but once i got hold of a decent wiring diagram it all made sense. just make sure u get alll the wiring out of the donor car ! and the clocks for the VSS.
If you need any help dont hesitate to ask.
Will be changing the engine in the not so distant future as a low mileage 16v engine came my way, am thinking of a full rebuild and possibly supercharging using a bmw mini charger.

[ScottieJ]

oooooo thats what we liek to hear! I keep getting tempted by a supercharged 1.6 16v or a V6 GV lump for mine

I presume thats an Eaton M45 charger you are going for then?

I presume you have seen this thread on Difflock?
