Modifying Mitsi

(1/4) > >>

Mutz:
I am now at the point where i need to modify my manual swb for off road use.
Anybody else gone more extreme, and what have you done?
Shocks, springs, axle breathers etc.etc.
where did you get your parts, and are you pleased with the results off road.
Thanks

LandRoger:
I have done a few mods to my 2.5 Auto, Fitted 2.8 LWB rear coils,+2pro-comp es9000 gas shocks ,trimmed the front bump stops in half to give a tad more articulation, turned out the torsion bars by 30mm, front rear axle
breathers ,removed plastic sill covers,fitted tube rock sliders, roof bars with 4 spots ,2 rear work lights + amber warning light,
the suspension mods give 2 i/2 lift approx ,next mod is 16in wheels with 255/85/16 tyres that will give another 1inch or so lift,

Mutz:
Where did you get the es 9000 from.
The rest is obtainable locally, or diy.
Although i am after a safari snorkel from arbil

LandRoger:
The Pro-Comp es9000 gas shocks are from Explorer uk(01925-757588)
cost 35.00 each inc vat, they really sort out the ride /handleing on off road, Dont be tempted to turnout the torsion bars more than 30mm as you will wreck your cv joints , also get the tracking done afterwards,
hope this helps,

Mutz:
Lift at front already done, at 40m/m split rubbers on front shafts, now droped back a bit with new rubbers :oops:
been re tracked all seems ok even after off road pay and play.
Fuel tank now modified for better entry/exit. found after pay and play 8)
tank protector not as strong as i thought :)

read you can remove sway bar at rear for more articulation; your thoughts or have you tried this?
