Without the expense of EFI, are turbos or blowers really worth it?

better off with gearing i think...

ah, i didn't know yours was carby......you poor poor man........we need to start a 'Get Gonzo Injection so he can sorta turn his tires' fund in the zuk section like we did with redzook

What options are there for the Vitara Gonzo. Diffs or Hi & low range?

if ur high range is just usuable, how is your low range? (1.8:1 ???)

what about bump steer off road, do you get a lot more? or do you have power steering?

if you go crawler gears in your transfer, you can have a crawl ratio of about 115:1,should be plenty for your 33"s. or twin cases (150:1)?

shelly's gap filla! love your work.

Thats some serious CV angle dude.... keen, very keen.

Looks the goods tho! :armsup:

Post by **Beastmavster** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 11:31 pm

Hmmm..... 3 things of note...

Needs more rear suspension travel.

Needs that exhaust outlet lifted about 6"

Needs a bigger spare.

And of course... not noteworthy... needs some gearing

:finger:

Well done anyway looks great

good stuff , looks great!!!
Now start packing spare cv's with the tools to change them, I had a seperate sack with just the tools i needed so i didn't have to stuff round ,
ya can do it on the track in bout 20mins once ya organised. The last one i changed on the track took an hour cos the dimwit wreckers never seem to take the clip off the shaft and try to hammer it out so i had to sit there and scrape a grinding disk over the shaft and regroove the spline with a hack saw blade till the hub would fit :bad-words:

Also I started snapping the shaft off inside the diff (ds), so i put 2 seals in the diff (aftermarket are thiner on the outer edge) where the stub axle goes in and this seamed to help support it alot more..
Have fun!!!!!!

You could have done better than that, "beer in one hand , tool in the other"

next thing to be saving my pennies for (apart from CV's) is transfer gearing

Looks cool, would you be interested in a kit that replaces your vit transfer with a sierra transfer thus getting high range reduction....

Very Cool Gonzo....nice and chunky :cool:

Us girls (Daffy & I) primed up with a few beers before hacking away at Stimpy...hence one guard is about a cm wider than the others :roll:

Feels good though doesn't it....almost as fun as drilling snorkel holes :twisted:

i got 33's on my old vit, with only 25 mm of lift

When youve taken the accelorator stop off and then bashed the floor and fire wall to that point, you have gone far enough :lol:

managed to get them to not hit anyware.
On the rear i cut as u did(euathane is cool :twisted:

) but i lowerd my bump stops on tube, wich ment i could put compresed up longer shocks on and the tube stoped the coils falling out.
mmm, well they still did fall out till i fixed em to the diff

I think im not right in the head :shock:
