First question is why didn't you just buy one with all those options in the first place?

P/steering and aircon shoudln't be too dificult at all if you're half competent with your hands. Prolly best place to get everything would be off a wrecked vehicle, so OE Suzuki stuff should just bolt straight in.

Sound....do wanna wheel it or pimp it/mall cruise?

Lift kits, etc. LOOK IN THE BIBLE, there's heaps of info in there. Much cheaper if you check out what Sikid_01 has done in the way of coils, etc. Save heaps there and get some decent shocks.

and thoses mods suck as power steering etc are all things i can live with out but thought wat the heck


thanks anyway

you say a 98 model vitara, is it a JX model? is it EFi or Carby?

and again, are you going to wheel this vitara off road? or are you just going to cruise town?

is the lift you want purely cosmetic? or do you want it to actually work?

aircon: you need compressor and all the piping and so on unless all the gear is there already? i'm not too sure with air cons and vits.

power steering: you need to get a pump, a power steer box, and the res for the power steer fluid. i have seen a complete system go for as little as $250, and up to $560 for all the same gear.

how cheap did you get your 98 model for? (if you dont mind me asking?) cos then maybe you can look for a JLX model with all the stuff you want but with a blown motor, and just do an engine swap.

as for the ICE, i have 6" speakers in the doors, and 6"x9"s in the back panels. all my panels are BLING checker plate anyway, so thats good enough. if the original door trims are still good, then you can get some door pods for the 6" speakers. i dont have subs, cos i have no room, and i have a soft top, and my vit is constantly submerged in water.

power windows? is it really that hard just to wind them down?

aircon and power steer will use up a little bit of the engines output, but zooks aren't power house speed machines anyway.

[Try_Me]

its a EFI the lift kit is for looks but need it to do some four wheel driving etc nothing drastic so yeh cosmetic.

air con ive been quoted $400 for the whole thing not installed and bubs is selling a power steering box for $100 so i need a pump and power steering fluid now

i picked it up for $6800 its good inside and out 100,000km's only prob with that engine swap is no more money and parents wont let me lol.

was thinking to remake the panels inside the car retrim them in black vinly and put wat u have in ur vitara 6's and 6X9's with a good set of 4's in the front on top of my dash dont think i need a sub right now maby a bit later.

and ye im not to worried about power in my vitara just get me from a to b

i think king springs do a 2" lifted coil for a vitara, i think it might be about $150/pair, so about $300 you might be able toget some lifted coils.

$400+fitting for air con is a bit too much for me, but i'm tight. depends on if you really need it or not.

power steering, well, usually it would be better buying everything off one car/person, but if you can find a power steer box for cheap get it, and then look around for the lines and res.

i'm not familiar with 96+ model vits, so i cant say whether older model gear will bolt staright up. ie. power steering box.

can you post a pic of you car too? pics are always good.

[Try_Me]

this is my car


do u think i paid alright money for it

[SiKiD_01]

yeah, looks to be in very good condition especially if it has only 100,000 KMs. which is the opposite to mine.

as for the money you paid, i would of said it was a bit much for a vitara, but hey, you got a clean car, low Ks, and EFI, so i wouldnt be complaining.

[12uke]

AT $6800 thats too much but I didn't pay for it Plus only a JX.

When you shop around you can pick them up cheap I picked up JLX Vitara wagon for $8000.





Buts Thats 2 Vitaras not one. Thats $4000 each a 1994 with a 2 inch lift in it. Plus a 1992 with 235 road tyers and alloy rims and a bull bar.

[Try_Me]

oh well wasnt my money my sierra was stolen and got paid out so i upgraded lol


skid_01
do u have speakers in ur dash and how does that sound

hahaha, upgrading to a vit from a sierra? most people think its the other way around.

as for speakers int he dash, i didnt bother. i ripped the old ones out, but they were still good, clarions i think (and factory?)
you can fit a 4" in factory position, but i didnt think i would be able to hear them, or i think they wouldn't have been loud enough over all the noises my vit makes. i didnt bother with the dash speaker, and plus, it gives good access holes to up under the dash.

power steering? i have a 12" steering wheel, with 31" pedes, i got no problems.... most of the time. just dont air the pedes down past 10psi.

and biggest tyres are about a 235/75R15 on stock rims. i had a bit of rubbing on full lock right, where the back of the front right tyre would touch the chassis. i think you should be ok with a 235 on a 15x7 rim.

[Try_Me]

what would i need to run 30's on my vit

[Goatse.AJ]

To run 30's you'll need at least 2" suspension lift, and posibbly rolled guards or small body lift.

Next question, why bother if it's just gunna be a mall cruiser.....get it out and WHEEL it!
