Feel a bit of a fraud posting this after reading what some of you did to your Jimny today.

I removed and cleaned out my washer bottle, I don't know what was growing in there but it's gone now and I'm pushing clean water through my washers once again.

Next job is to remove and repaint the spare wheel carrier before the rust takes hold and eats the damn thing.

Busy day today-
-Changed spark plugs
-fitted new AVM hubs
-changed oil & filter
-Bought a new air filter but the current one looks brand new so i'll keep it for later
-Changed front and rear diff oil
-Changed transfer oil
-Changed gearbox oil which was a pain in the ass. The filler plug was fine but the drain plug was on solid. Managed to get it off with the help of a lump hammer! Must remember to buy a 10mm square tool thingy to make this easier in the future.

And my ORA order of a transfer guard and fuel tank guard was delivered, should hopefully get to fit them tomorrow. Any tips for this? It looks pretty straight forward I think, but then again most things do until you start them! :laugh:

Use a trolley jack to hold in place while you do up the nuts. A bit heavy holding with one hand and doing the nuts up with the other :-)

I took my Jimny on a DYNO. Since the 1.8L conversion, it's been running lean (not enough fuel in the fuel/air mixture)

First dyno run pulled 48kW - which is slightly more than the 1.3
We flashed the ECU and ran it again
2nd Dyno pulled 65kW - which is more than I was expecting

I also put a deposit down for a supercharge kit. Exciting times.

That's 87bhp at the wheels, that's not at all bad, have you got a bhp/torque graph?. Do you know what parameters they modified in the ECU?

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Fitted my wheel spacers which make it look a lot better even when it's still on the original size tyres. Also took delivery of a CB, mounting kit and antenna and 5 hankook dynapro's atm from camskill.
