Questions from a Newbie???

My father just bought me a GREEN jimmy. It's really nice! I want to know, what are the biggest TYRES I can put on it without doing any other modification? It's just for the look, and I don't want to soil my hands. I wanted a two wheel drive for better MPG. I'd also want 10-20 people to tell me what is the best place to buy an airfilter? Also which brand? I'm trying tO get the best MPG and airflow is a good way! I don't want to fabricate parts so everything has to be out of a box, so the shop can put it on for me, that's what I love about this forum, everyone keeps it simple. If the gas mileage doesnt get better I'm going to buy a Landrover.

My dad bought me a GOLD Jimny! I think you should go with 31 inch TYRES. Have your shop install a three inch lift kit! It looks good like that! The best filter to buy is the K and N filter, it took the shop an hour to install it but it adds lots of power! I went up a hill and didn't downshift! You should also look into a tube on the side,snorkel maybe? It lets you drive thru almost 6 feet of water, without any other modifications! I saw a video about it on YouTube!

Save yourself a lot of hassle, get a 200Tdi defender they will easily achieve more mpg than a jimny with larger tyres ever will.

As to air filters, the usual motor factor suspects: Fram, Champion etc are fine.

:laugh: Ohh I loved the GOLD colour! Yes, I've already looked at a snorkel, because it acts like ram air and gives better mileage! Also been looking at a wing on the back because at the speed I'm driving it will push the car down for better handling, but I don't think it will flip, even with a lift and big TYRES. Has anyone looked into the hood scoops with the adhesive backing? I don't want to cut a hole in the metal, and might be good for more power!

It came with an electric turbo, the dealer said it gives me 10-15 more bhp, and 7 more mpg. You should think about one! Do you know where I can get some stickers for the side windows? I want it to look like a rally truck!

Mine shakes really my hands off the wheel when I go over 50mph! I think it's the engine mounts! I would go with K and N filters because they give you a free sticker!
