Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Jimbo's : Suzuki Samurai sport 4x4

My first car was a 1992 K reg Suzuki Samurai sport. I bought it for launching the boat my bro and I share. It came with the standard 1.3l Petrol engine. It had twin carbs so accelerated off the mark pretty well, and sounded good too.

I quickly got into the off roading game (What's the point in having a 4x4 if you're not gonna use it?!!). Soon I was hooked and the modding bug began, but not the kind of modding bug people usually get!

This is my baby after a few minor mods, including front fogs, side steps, and bigger all terrain tyres:



And here's some more recent pics:











List of mods (there is more just can't remember it!):
1.7D engine Transplant
Opel Manta gearbox
Performance clutch
Fully custom designed free flow exhaust
Induction kit
Lowered ratios
Braided brake hoses
3.5" of suspension lift
Drop Shackles for better articulation off road
15x8 Weller 8 spoke rims
31"x10.5" Cooper Discoverer STT Tyres
Side steps/bars
Roof lights wired to main beam
Steel tubular front bumper
Ongoing paint job
Clarion CD head unit
Kenwood uprated speakers and rears fitted
2x200w subs

looks smart jimbo
its came along nice

sounds quality! i'm well into that! take ya bird 4x4'in for the day!

I do all the time mate, she loves it! It's not bad as a first date idea, lol.

Looks like a lot of fun. Bet you couldn't do that in an X5!

As the sticker says on the back jim, "You can follow me... but its gonna hurt"! I think il pass on that dude, iv been in your jeep,only one word for it - bruises! Nice one pretty good list you have got going on there!!

nice one mate its looking great, i like the jeep ill have to come out with you one day see what its like.

keep up the good work

Cheers people

I should hope not, or I've bought the wrong friggin vehicle!

Forgot to mention the most recent mod, it's a nicely curved back door, after being pulled backwards into a tree on the end of a rope! Will pull one off a scrapper soon, but the other repairs to get it roadworthy again will come first. (Needs a new engine throwing in as this one's been drowned several times, and both axles have severe oil leaks! I have spares, so will get them fitted asap).

Two more mods I've just remembered:

3/4" Wheel spacers
Plastic wing mirror glass (It bends rather than smashes when the jeep lands on it)

Stripped interior (to be chequer plated in time)
Removed rear seats
Removable fibreglass hard top that I never use any more
Wide arches (to be fitted when I get time)
and not forgetting the removeable doors!





...4 posts in a row, I must be obsessed, lol :rolleyes:

thats sweet matey a well looked after one at that
keep up th goos work jimbo matey can't wait to see the wide arches

Finally got hold of an engine today, £50 from an ice cream man in Liverpool Just need a decent starter motor, then I can get in touch with a good mechanic friend of mine and see if he's up for the challenge of fitting it... along with the new axles <img border="0" alt="[cool / shades]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions067.gif" />
