Thats what i was looking for!
Thanks for the words Darkhorse, much appreciated. I do like the little vit's and i will buy one if the jeep sells soon.
I suppose its just something to mess around with and enjoy, possibly even turn it into a project oneday. But for now it seems like a good candidate for what im after and if i treat it right it will, hopefully,serve me well.

I'm out the other side in Croydon.
Unlikely to be me.
But we do have members out your side.
Our club goes to Wombat Camping/wheeling,
Firth Park and Lerdederg River mostly.
Club Link is in my signature

Like it has been said before, It comes down to learning on how hard and where you can push the Vit. I broke a few CV's when I first bought my Vit but now I know what it doesn't like. Most of the breakages were from being silly. In the past year or so I've only broken 1 CV and that was only recently and that was because it was already on it's way out.

What ever you do don't waste your time buying a manual. get a auto. on road it will get you off the line no problems and have a lower rpm at 100. I've had both a manual and now the auto. Off road its just so much better its not funny!
My vitara is a 1.6 auto lwb and i had 31's on it for daily duty. I've never broke a cv except when the boots crack then they get full of shit.

its hard enough to find a manual one with a bit of work done to it, let alon an auto, so im gonna take whatever i can get that is in a good condition and at the right price i suppose.

I wouldn't be trying to find one with stuff already done to it. You'll be buying someone else's idea of how to modify a car, and it's 100% going to have been off road, where you don't know how it was treated/driven.
Look for a clean stocker IMHO.

But im waiting on my TJ to sell first before i go forking out the money on a vitara, so i guess this will be gone.
I'll just wait and see whats around when im ready to buy, hopefully within the next few weeks.
