how to lift a pinin?!?!
« on: April 12, 2010, 09:40:42 »
Does anyone here know of a lift kit for a pinin?! my mate has 1 and nearly killed the clutch trying to keep up with me down the lanes yesterday. Just no clearance whatsoever. Cheers?

I had one for a while and they are bloody useless. As far as I know you can't lift them at all.
Back into the fold after 6 months without a 4x4.

Of course it can be lifted !!!

Just make sure you widen the track at the same time, they look pretty unstable at the best of times.

I did have a quick rummage on Google but nobody seems to make a kit. Odd really, given the popularity of the Shogun/Paj/Delica and also that of the little Suzukis for modding and off roading I'd have thought someone would have come up with some goodies for the Pinin (as it's a Mitsubishi about the same size as the Suzukis).

Torsion bar and coil I presume?  Separate chassis?

Take a few measurements, get some spacers run off on a lathe, or speak to a coil spring company and have some custom coils made (about £130 a pair), with a chassis, make a body lift for it, adjust the torsion bars... hardly rocket science.

If it's independent front and back then it's hardly going to stop it being able to lift.


Just because you can't walk into a shop and buy a lift kid doesn't mean you can't lift it !
