gettin there!

Post by suzukisteve » Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:03 pm

hey everyone!

had a fairly productive weekend.

managed to prime and paint the inside of me zuke, only problem is the seats are welded to the floor so i couldnt get to all of it. but now its coated in some nice thick black hammerite to give it some protection ;)

gettin some 215/80r15 kumho kl78s for the rear to go with my 215/80r15 general grabber tr's up front.
should be collecting em this afteernoon an fittin this week some time. not that aggressive but i use the zuke as a daily so ill be buyin some mts when i can for play time :brows:

also got an ammo box which im gonna bolt into the rear for much needed storage :thumbup:

the other week:

removed the front bumper and mounted the headlights where the bumper used to mount onto.
had the fuel filler area welded inside the boot and a couple other areas too.

need a wing mirror, has anyone mounted motor bike mirrors on the wings at all for doors off action?
if so is it fairly easy to do?

i will get round to taking pics soon. jus bad at remembering to do it lol

if i forget just gimme a :poke:

cheers

There are tyre calculators on the internet that'll tell you the change as a percentage I think. How accurate was your speedo to start with? At low speeds mine's pretty optimistic but seems to get more accurate the faster I go.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

yours is a 410?

So stock tyre is 195x15 yours are 215x15 so your speedo will read about 5% slower

So now when its showing 95 on the speedo you're really doing 100 :hahaha:

the only way it'll ever reach 100 is if its on the back of a recovery truck... going downhill... with the wind behind it. :hahaha:

to be fair the speedo just jumps all over the place anyways :hahaha:

they are being fitted as we speak :rockin:
