Looks the job alright jack, can I hit you with a few questions that might help me choose mine,

What sort of change did you get when fitted?

Did your torque band move further in the rev range?

Do you run a cat? if so what?

Are you happy with the changes over standard?

Have you mapped since fitting?

Sorry to dribble on but I'm considering options from cheap Chinese (£350) to bespoke stainless (£750) and you might help me avoid a costly mistake, done it before and it costs you twice in the end.

Thanks,

sniper

I'll look forward to seeing a review if you could, I've looked at similar styled manifolds but I'm drawn towards one with longer secondary's, I can't upload a picture as its part of a slide show (beyond me). I think your pattern will give more power and a nice torque curve but it would be slightly higher in the rev range.

The longer secondary's (hopefully) would give an earlier entry on the curve and still be close to peak figure, power would be slightly lower I believe.

The only guys who really have a handle on this stuff are very busy (20 week wait) or way beyond my purse.

I want to re-map after fitting the exhaust on standard injection but I also want to fit throttle bodies and will need best part of a day on the rollers, so don't want to waste £500.

Been having a look under the Jimny and I think I need to change a few more suspension bits now that I've started. I'm not lifting really (+25mm max) so don't need fabricated track control arms but I do want adjustability.

Does anybody know of a supplier for standard length arms that are adjustable ?

Do you mean the radius arms, going from the axle back to the chassis? What plane do you want to adjust them in? You can get 'camber corrected' arms which rotate the axle back to correct for a lift but I don't know of any that have adjustment built in. You can also get camber correction bushes which achieve a similar thing with the standard arms.

Or are you meaning the panhards that locate the axle side to side? As far as I am aware there are adjustable ones though they're for bigger lifts and might not be short enough for such a small lift.
