@JCD,i admire your gall and ill watch with interest to see how far up thier noses it gets!! cheers Liam

I bought a suzuki sj 413 a coup[le of years ago as i wanted a change from fast cars and track days . I took it off road once and then commenced ripping all the suspension,wheels,carbs,starter motor,seats ,propshaft,transfer boxes to name just a bit and uprating everything. I didnt have a clue...

Aha,i stand corrected:cheesy:

Best way to learn is to just get stuck in,once youve messed it up you wont get it wrong twice!!!!! Oh and pick the brains out of forums,there usually a lot of people with the necesary smarts on them:bigsmile:

Dude,i appreciate the amount of time and effort youve put into the car,but whats the point of having it so low,one slight bump and youll lose half of it unless your doing 5 mph!!

Would this make it breath better as imho diesels do tend to run out of puff way to quickly!!

I was ,i rang the insurance company and they informed me i was covered 3rd party as long as i was in the vehicle!!!!! I ran a track car company hiring cars out so eventually got a traders policy as i was tired of ducking and diving!!!!

Had me once like that but uncannily of me i registered the car in my 2 year old daughters name so i could drive it home as my insurance covered me 3rd party to drive someone elses car. When i got the letter i binned it and waited for the court date. I strolled into court on my way to work,saw...
