Small build up ideas.

Post by Guy »

I am getting me another Zuk. a litter red softtop (with a fibreglass top on it currently )
About 12 months ago I put a 1.6 in it for the owner (very hurried install one night only with limited tools ... it's awesome :oops: ) and called it good.
He has owed me money for some time now so is giving me the Zuk to cover his debt.

Will be a very small build, already has a 1.6, but I want to redo the install using one of BenT's kits and add a 2 inch bodylift to help with some clearnace issues as well as lifting the T/case to give it a flat belly pan.

Headlight loom upgrade.

235's or small 31's and will keep an eye out for a old 4.16 tcase. Power steering using parts I have, 1.6 PS pump and dudlux IFS steering box.

Once I track down some gears I will lock it up and just bomb about in it for a while.


Any other neat cheap idea's people have had to generally improve their Zukin lives.

Not just for off road ability, already has a not bad stero in it (good enough for me anyway)

Seats. Prelude/ GTI seats or similar are a worthwhile upgrade if you'll be driving it for any extended length of time IMO.




And don't forget the chequerplate rear corners. :D

i know alot of people hate em, but i've got a hand sized squish right on the driver rear corner which i'm sure i could have avoided with a little bit of re-inforcement.


depending on the type of driving you do, maybe.

cage?

EFI?

compressor, air-locker front, secondairs? (prob not all that cheap though).

or what about goin a 1" bodylift, (clear lifted transfer, 1.6 etc... roctoy ring?) & then run some stock RUF & some 2" ome's in the rear...?
All the gear, No idea...

Remove the roof = free

Remove floor bungs = free

Massage the guards = free

Weld the rear diff = not much

Go drive it.

Congrats on the new toy.

Are the threads on the IFS hilux box the same as on a Vitara one for the power steer lines?

Does this really have any effect (bar negative) with stock springs and shackles?

Bit of firewall clearnace and slighty improved ride due to the extended wheelbase.

Firewall clearance is something I want. How hard is this mod? What else has to be altered? relocate shock mounts? steering? relocate bumpstops?

Thanks :D
