Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Just got in from some milling work. Mate of mine wants to have rear discs on the back of his SJ413 ratgher than the useless drums, been in the brain and thought buckets for a while, and the plan is cunning as to how it done..., but the reason for the post is I am REALLY PI%%ed off with Suzukis now.... HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZES OF THE HALF SHAFTS ! FFS ? There bigger than std Rangerover and they only have 40 BHP through them !..and it weighs slightly more than F all Arggggggggggggggggggggh Much as I am a Landy fan, you just look at the Suzukis and I know now why some of the more "Muppety" of the Suzuki drivers get away with it mechanically !..... If you drove a LR the way some of these Suzuki boys do to their SJs the LR would self destruct ! I have to say I was impressed tonight with the SJ mechancials Mutter mutter grumble grumble Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have seen the Zuks in action, theres no way a LR would take the stick they take, mind you I have seen several Zuk engines die offroad. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I can also tell you that the back diffs don't last long if you put 31x10.50R15 MT's on it and then loosen the nut behind the steering wheel quite considerably "What was that bang?"

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Love that comment. Similar to mine at the Slindon event when he hit a tree hard. Any damage ? he asked. Not too bad, I siad "just a case of a Fit new driver OSF" Something anglosaxon came back but I ignored it over the laughing Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The owner of said Suzuki (purchased for just £300 purely for abuse! plus a few cans of expanding foam and body filler to fill up the holes in the body, Zooki fun is cheap....!) blew up 2 (or was it 3) diffs with the 10.50s on and then "downsized" tyres a bit Also they rubbed "just a bit" on the bodywork! Good in soft ground though ... they are great little things here as they are so light so will go just about anywhere, my father ran one on the farm for years and used to go all over the place in it. Shame about the "ride" though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it everwhere and it stepped up to the plate every time. Not to be laugh at too much. they can go places. Mainly because they are so light.
