Hi,

I am looking at buying a Sierra and found this one with a 1.6L in it.
Looks awesome for the price. Does anyone know of it?

Sorry Noob, please explain?

Its a holden drover which were narrow track zooks.

in the add it states sprung over which while it doesnt look overly high, its still too tall for 30s.

its not very wide so it can be a not so good thing. asking to be put on its side

[Shoey]

So does that mean it is more likley to roll? Or is it just a bad set up?

[Shoey]

Sorry missed the last line. Cheers probably just stopped my first roll over.

[tanshi]

IM not saying dont do it.

a few people have SPOA cars and dont have issues.

as long as its done well its fine. but i personally wouldnt have it SPOA unless its on BIG rubber

[pyrohamish]

looks good to me...1.6l is a big advantage, nice seat and looks tidy.
go have a look, if it still has spring perches under the axle you can easily go back to sprung under which is defiantly preferred by most people.

Dont be put off by a SPOA. Done properly they are arguably better.

Still for the price its a bit exxy. Vit motor is a carby job by the look of it.

Yet to one that is.....

IMO SPOA and NT do not belong together. A standard NT sierra is unstable enough...but with 4-5" of lift and no noticable gain in wheel track, wether it has been done properly or not, this thing will be more tippy than the Italian PM after one of his booze, coke and hoes parties.

Nope! They do come out in soft top too! As well as the not so common non-ugly low roof model

[Fatzook]

There were even a few drover tin top utes.

[Zook_Fan]

And soft top with soft half doors

I have contacted the bloke and might trek to perth on the weekend for a look. Do the Sierra do 110km/hr with the vit 1.6L or do they still lag at high speed?

[hooki]

seems like an alright price but if you wait something better will probably come up. I managed to get my 95' sierra with 130,000 for $3000....if you see one driving on the street go and ask if they want to sell it, thats what i did with mine.

As for speed this thing should be able to sit on 100 with the 1.6. Just remember that spring over is illegal in WA so if you get a yellow it may be a pain to return it back to stock so you can pass the pits.

[Shoey]

Cheers hooki, didn't know that. It's going to be a daily driver so Ithink I will skip it.

[SSSIERA]

i had a look at the pics of this the other day, i could be wrong but the engine pic dont look like a vitara engine, it looks like my 1.3.

[zooky08]

only clue i see that its a carby 1.6 vitara engine is that a 1.6 timing belt cover hasnt got suzuki written on it and sierra engine has

[Shansh]

i like my high top, its different, i know most blokes dont like em but that kinda makes me like em more................
