Just found this site while looking for a new car. Rust free SJ's anyone? Little bit expensive tho!

Select jimny van in the side box.

They are the same engines that you get in a Suzuki Cappuccino over here, which are really cheap to buy!

And they are definitely a screamer! Those cappuccinos may look rubbish but they're pretty quick :D

You'd have a whole 63HP at your command :lol:

... and a dump valve 8-)

I wouldn't mind trying one of the 660 turbo zukes it would be pretty funny, I bet you'll have to be pedal to the metal everywhere as they can't have much torque.

hahaha I didn't really want to take it above 30mph... not too keen on the whole a-frame towing thing!!!

Your SJ was SO heavy! I mean, I've towed SJs before, and yours was a bit much!

Might've been something to do with the brakes binding :roll:

That was before I fixed my throttle cable as well... now its a screamer on full throttle :twisted:
