Doubt it, My 110 Hicap was completely invisible when on a road, I have a mate with a bright yellow Series II forward control and that is invisible too :pinch:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Don't say that. I'm tired of being entirely invisible.

Many doing 1.6 now :)
I changed the very narrow insulated double wall exhaust pipe between cat 1 and cat 2 for a 51mm pipe 30 degree bend.
I even managed to convince myself it gave me a noticeable performance improvement!
Also changed the transfer mounts to beefy ones.

Changed all the steering and track-rod ends - the blighters had seized up, and were an utter pig to get undone. Locking nuts had wrecked the threads in spite of soaking them for the last week. Reassembled greased to within an inch of their lives :evil:
Booked in for tracking tomorrow


IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Roof rack now assembled and ready to fit. Just need to fit the lower LED lights. The screws they provided were not long enough, so thats the only downside so far.

Are you assembling it on a mini-golf course there? :laugh:

I like the shape of the rack, still undecided about the front lower bit tho.

That roof rack pic should come with a NSFW warning.
I'm in love !!!! Can't wait to see it on the car. Beautiful.

Can you give a breakdown of all costs ?

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Checked that the front & back diffs in my Gen4 have the same ratio :huh:

Some rumour on t'interweb about a few getting out with an auto diff at one end and manual at the other. Mine are both the same, 10 turns of the back wheel and the front is still exactly in synch. Looks like they got it right :)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
