suzuki advice??

(1/3) > >>

JimP:
I am thinking of buying a suzuki for play days adn occasional laning, I'm used to Land Rover's but want something small and cheap while I save the money to modify my Disco how I want it!

I will need something with MOT, I did wantan SJ but seem to be struggling to find a cheap one, so am wondering about a Vitara??

Anyone give me any tips? what should I look for? should I go for an SJ or a Vitara?

Cheers

hi jim
welcome to the zook section
yes you will be struggling to find a cheap sj thats not full of rust in all the wrong places
vits as you say are usually coming in at the right sort of price nower days
if your going to start off with a standard motor look around for rust in
wheel arches
body mounts
rear seatbelt mounts
behind the front seats where the floor level rises

for better offroad performance stick to 8valve version injected if possible if carb best bet is to fit an SU conversion as once the standard carb starts
playing up they only good for paper weights

anything else ask away
