Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Turns out Mark's sold the g/box :(

Thanks guys

How much would an auto g/box cost? Would there be any modifications needed to be done to ensure that it fits into a Sierra?

Has anyone put an auto in a zook?

Which auto g/box is best with a G16A engine?

I'm looking at having auto in my zook.

Hi there,

I've got a G13B engine for my zook, however, I was wondering if it was possible to covert it from carby to EFI?

Has anyone done it before? What are the costs of the conversion?

Thanks in advance.

Will take some pictures tomorrow... just purchased WT diffs and G13B motor - arrived yesterday

I was thinking of taking the ugly dashboard out of my 85 sierra and putting in a new one.

Is it possible to do this? If so, have you done it?

Pictures would be cool.

Am looking for a vitara EFI engine to put into my zook... am a tightarse... found one in Brisbane for 1450 bucks

I saw this in a mag the other day about factory 4wd, did have a roza spec in it, not much but..

it said "city driving... 9.5L/100km" "highway driving..... 6.0L/100km

Hope it helps ya out a bit

I'm researching on which engine is suitable for a zook...

At the moment, I'm unsure on...

- 1.6L motor out of a Daihatsu Feroza (with EFI)
- Suzuki Vitara 1.6L with EFI
- Toyota 4AGZE out of a Corolla.

What other engines would you recommend?

My roza used to "drink" a lot, rumble fairly a bit at the gearstick. i was worried about all that fuel disappearing, i sent my roza to a pro mechanic to do a real good tune up, did a good job and it did improve a lot, less fuel, less rumbling of the gearstick when idle.

Well, for now I'm taking steps by steps... so that way I dont stuff up.

My Plans for the Zook

- 1.6L Vitara motor with EFI
- 1.3 Suzuki Sierra gearbox (5 speed)
- Rollover panel and bar
- Doors
- New windscreen
- Tyres (preferably Goodyear Wrangler 30x9.5)
- New headlights
- 2 inch Body lift
- 2 inch spring lift
- Rocksliders
- Bullbar
- Rear bumper
- To paint the body ...

At least no cops pulled us over

Have had no problems with braking - just gotta brake a bit harder, thus giving the feroza and trailer with the zook on it more braking room.

Yep, we got home safely

Next step is to do some research on what I need to get for the zook, and to get some funds to do it up

The Feroza did well when it towed the zook being on the car trailer for 3 days straight. No stress on the towbar at all... you just have to know what you're doing... when going up a hill with a heavy load attached, best to go into 2nd or 3rd gear...

if you lose power whilst in 3rd gear, go into ...

Here's the proof...

Ferozas are reliable!

We recently went on a road trip to Sydney (from Toowoomba) in our Feroza with a car trailer attached.

The Feroza did remarkably well, especially with the towing. The trailer had a 85 Suzuki Sierra on it with a couple of tires.

We had the heater going the ...

FINALLY GOT MY ZOOK HERE!

Thanks to markil for selling the zook - couldn't be happier

We just got home about half an hour ago from Sydney.

What a trip! The Feroza survived, yay!

Thanks

Lol, well I'll see if I want the seats. I might get new ones. Will have a look first.

If there's any left overs, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

A few weeks ago, i had to replace my engine mounts and gearbox mount as well, due to a rough climb at Landcrusier Mountain Park, ripped itself off the left side engine and torn up the gearbox mount, Lucky the right side still hang on just like normal. :x

Cost me about 180 bucks for all mount from ...

Dont know... if there are any leftovers, I'll be sure to let you know.

- engine
- gearbox and transfer
- doors

Will list more when I've had a good look at it after picking it up

Whats left of it for $500?

Let's see...

- 1985 model swb soft top
- clean, very straight body (like blue in colour, clear paint flaking off on some parts)
- has a little rust on left rear wheel arch, and very small spot just under windscreen frame on left also.

Lol, thanks everyone.

flyinwall - will let you know if I need some help

I plan to do some of the work myself, but with mechanical stuff I'll have my partner to help me, and as well as maybe a friend or two.

Thanks for the recommendation on air lockers, alwayszookin...

I've been deadset on air lockers, but I plan on getting them later on when money allows me to.

Thanks, nicbear.

Am going to keep the paint on, for the time being - till it starts falling off or whatever.

Tyre sizes - am thinking either 30" or 31" - more likely Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's

Gearing - :shock: I know jackshit about gearing - will have to research on that or would you guys care to ...
