Modifying Mitsi
LandRoger:
Yes have tied it -makes for a very unpredictible drive on road,and as its my daily ride couldnt put up with it,dont think the Insurance company would be too gripped with it either -any excuse not to pay out!
The stiffer springs on the rear and extended +2gas shocks give all the articulation i need and the on road handling is great, i dont do Play-n Break only laning,
Mutz:
Well having 2, the black one in the avatar is the daily driver (mainly SWMBO) and when we went to an event in that SWMBO suggested not to ruin her's and to buy another.
Hence the manual swb is more for off road use, so not to bothered about damage, although prefer to keep it fairly good for MOT purposes, plus it was cheap. Was looking for a cheap 90 at the time but condition for same amount of cash is unreal, Paj is solid no rust anywhere and quite a capable little 4x4, and the only thing that doesnt seem to work is the adjustable shocks, which fo a "91" is pretty damn good.
So think the ES9000+3 is the route to go but found they do 2 types of uprated rear spring, if the swb springs give 2" of extra lift wondering about fitting uprated LWB maybe get another 1" on top of that or it could just make it very stiff?
Or could just get 2.8 lwb springs, which would probably be cheaper?
LandRoger:
Think the uprated LWB colis would make it too stiff and make the truck sit unlevel ,i got the LWB spings from a breaker for 20 pounds the fact that they had been used makes for a nice supple ride,dont forget the es9000s
are the stiffest of the range and take a few trips off road to find themselves,
Im glad too have the Auto much much better off road , more controlable,
no handbrake starts halfway up a climb after running out of steam,allways in the correct gear for the situation, no burnt out clutches,
in short exellent,
Mutz:
Rear air locker on auto makes it almost unstoppable with full M/T's,
although the 2.5 is not the fastest thing on the road, it is very powerfull off road in low gears and i have never got stuck anywhere in the auto.
Now the manual is another story!!!!
But yep would change the manual for another auto if i could.
LandRoger:
Mutz, have you driven a Paj auto with (rear air locker)? only that is one of the
mods i would like in the near future, wondered what it would be like,
