| Post subject: | I just bought a Jimny! |
I guess this is the place to start. I just purchased a 2000 Jimny and now the Fun starts! The purpose of this car will be to take me to the mountains and get me into the backcountry. I do a fair bit of snowboarding outside of resorts and some of the approaches can be difficult in winter. I guess I have a fair few questions and am very new to the 4x4 thing. My plans for the little beast are this:
either Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 or BFG All Terrain A/T KO tyres 215/75/15 new exhaust system with extractors lift kit So to the questions
What would be a good lift kit that will not require to many modifications? Will i be able to put the 215/75/15 tyres on before the lift kit? Any recommendations on a muffler that will give it a good sound would be great. also and finally Any recommendations for a good suzuki mechanic/ workshop in Melbourne. I am on the northside but do not mind travelling for a good guy who knows what their doing. So there it is, first post done. Thanks in Advance from the zook noob cheers Andy |

congratulations on the new ride! k&n filters are a gimic and i wouldn't recommend using one. their fiddely to get oiled and if you stuff it up you dont get popper filtration. they do not filter as well as a paper filter. never having driven on snow i dont know much about it other then its similar to sand, so less agressive stops you sinking, along with surface area, so get a good compressor to air back up a lot of us have exhausts. they dont typically make much difrence without extractors so your going the right way about that. just make usre its up out of the way. i have a 48mm ss exhaust, lots of people have 2". on a 1.3 the 48mm is great, and a lot more torquey. very happy with it. on lift, low is better, but stock springs are really really soft. my time again i wouldnt go 3", id go 2"(to get a aftermarket spring this as as low as you can go) with a 2" body lift. i have way to much lift but thats to keep the body high and out of the water as much as i can on creek crossings. 215/75s will fit without lift on stock 5.5" rims from what i have seen /heard. |

I have 215 dynapro mt's and they fit fine with no lift in. they scrubbed for a week at full steering lock in reverse on some lumpy ground so no problems in my book lol but are now fine. |

Andy Before you spend too much money why not come along to a Vic Suzuki Club meeting and talk to a few people. http://www.vic.suzuki4wd.com If you are after a good mechanic I have used Cammo Offroad but he is on the opposite side of town to you. http://www.cammoffroad.com.au/ He was recommended to me and I was pretty happy with his work.
