LePaj:
.... as a second off roader for laning and was wondering what the capabilities are off road - I know with leaf springs the articulation is limited but if I got coils fitted how would this compare to a 90? There's no difflock (I presume) so that's a downer but reason for considering a S3 is the low insurance and tax exempt keeping costs down to a minimum for a 2nd toy.
some help to sway me either way please  :D

stratie:
A tax exempt S3.......Good luck in finding one.
My old S2a would go any where that my mate's 90 would go, i wish i still had her. Such a laugh.

stratie:
I allso had an S2 that was so much fun to drive, even tho it was a tad bumpy.

stratie:
She was a bit lazy at time's. She would offten roll over on her side and have a 10 minute kip.

Lucy1978:
Don't try sticking coils on a tax exempt leafer. if you do it legally you'll loose the original registration and tax exemption.

Parabolics work well and 88" is a very capable beast.  They don't need a difflock cause they aren't permenant 4wb so don't have a centre diff. They're just either in 2wd or 4wd (with the two props turning at the same speed).
