Here's a jacked up X90... i knew they were meant to be just a vitara with a different body - but it definately has a different look to it once you put some nice rubber under it:

p.s. Hey Luis - you could get you car looking a fair bit like that :) (except for the ute body of course ;) )

I'd seen that particular page before and even considered an X90 when I was car-hunting, but I travel a lot with both my parents so 2 seats were insufficient and I found no way of convincing dad that the boot was comfortable...

You can find X90's for under a million $ these days! (around 13,000)... much less than a GV on 15"s ;)

As for the suspension work, man, the work on that IFS looks expensive (as do the tyres)... and yes, I'm slowly converting to the dark side... just not a hell of a lot of $$ to do it... :cry:

But yes, it's amazing what big tyres and a lift can do to a car... looks awesome, but even a front-wheel drive Charade would look "half-capable" with that sort of investment on tyres and suspension (I said "look")!

What about a lifted Volkswagen Bora 4-motion?

Did you mean something like this? (excuse the lack of effort in the graphics... it's not meant to look REAL!) :D

looks like about 2-3" of wheel travel before the tyres hit their dead center on the guards. Looks like a bit of rolling of the guards/major panel work would be needed before you could take it anywhere off Toorak Rd.
