Got me a Poojaba

Post by **bundyrum4x4** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 2:08 pm

As some of you guys know, I run a Mav with a few bolt on its.

I've now gone a bought a 96 V6 Poojaba to use as a family wagon come outback tourer.

Got a few plans for it, nothing too wild, but will make sure its costom to some extent.

First job will be clutch, feels like its about stuffed, or the peddle needs adjustment, havn't looked yet as I been too busy keeping the Mav on the road.

Then its bigger tires and an exaust to let it breath.

The inside will cop a full deck out with draws etc so will kepp you updated as we go.

So what your opinion on the clutch, it engages near the end of the peddle. Can it be adjusted of should I get my hands dirty (again) and replace it?

As much as I hate to say it....no adjustment on the clutch.
looks like dirty hands.

its a 3.5 - seems to have plenty of goooooo

I know stuff all about them, will prob be a steep learning curve again.
Previous cars include Jerkapoo, 4runner, Disco, Rangie, Mav,and Subaru's so as you can tell, I like variety :cool:

So how bad are clutches to fit? or, how many cans of bundy will be required

you cant have to many or you'll let something that no-one needs to know slip :finger:

The clutches are not too bad from my experience. A clutch pack from Repco is about $350.

A point of concern is the setup of the starter motor - they face forwards and get easily clogged up in bogholes.

Went out for a claytons run to gemmy last night - too hot at home so figured sleeping under the stars would be cooler :cool:

Man, I had to learn how to drive again! Been spoilt with the mav running big tires and lift, spoon drains require clearance. Went well otherwise but it wont take long before some bigger boots are put on.

Prob run 31/10R15 for the road and touring, 32x9x16 for the mountains etc. Wont wory about suspension lift too much as limited by the front. I have already adjusted the front, seems good so far, will play a little with the back after xmas.

Now gota get that clutch sorted, not slipping yet, but its only a matter of time. :cry:

You can lift the front 2-2.5" and cut the upper bumpstops (x4) down to about 10mm to have some downwards wheel travel. People worry about loosing wheel travel when cranking the front but the extra clearance outweighs any lost downward travel by a million %.
There's not much you can do with the rear except longer shocks and coils and of course ripping off the swayabr.
One tip is a GQ rear coil will fit in the rear of a Paj the GQ has a 18mm wire the Paj is a 17mm.

Cool, got looots of these lying in the shed, will have a play and see what fits best. The main thing is that it will be used for touring so I dont want to go too mad on the lift, I've still got the Mav for the hard stuff :twisted:
