Also found with the 1600 engine fitted and mud tyres I can do very nice power slides round slippery roundabouts
Made a mental note not to touch the exhaust pipe when it's hot.
Also decided I'm not painting anything gold on my jimny :laugh:

You think the vibration is been amplified through the mount ?
Yeah I think it's to do with the guard because it didn't vibrate until I refitted the guard but it also didn't vibrate when the guard was fitted with the 410 box I'll have a look at it next week, it's not a bad vibration and its only at low speed.
I recon you'll be ok with 235/75's with the 1.6 engine but you might need a bigger lift or trim your arches.
Yeah defiantly need a trip out you should be able to lead a group now looks like you've been out loads in yours. I haven't been out for ages in mine because Smoggy's thinking about selling his and Croc's is off the road so I've got no one to go laning with.
Yea i think id get the grinder/air saw out for that rather than go higher.think i could come up with some form of route mate im starting to get my head round it.did smoggy get an engine back in his ? Id like to do more lanes on the north york moors loved our first outing out.
Trimmed the front wheel arches, just got the rear to do, also trested out the new rocklobster . Check engine light has come on so prob have to change a emissions sensor

No he hasn't fitted an engine yet I've offered to do it for him but he's thinking of selling up and it's probably worth more if he breaks it than if he repaired it and sold it as a complete car.
