OK well one of my mates brother has just got a Vitara. I think its one of the very last of the carby engines. We have been taking it out for a bit of 4wd fun lately. I think i might have court the 4WDing bug. But who knows it might just be a fad and pass next week. So i found one on ebay its been listed on there a few times now with no bids. EBAY SIERRA What can you guys tell me about this car. should i keep looking is there a better engine i should look out for, is it worth giving him a call and offering him less then a grand. I know things i should look out for include leaking at the back of the engine and rust. is there anything else? |

i dont want something too expensive. dont wanna have to worry about damaging it. Plus i have seem some of the massive holes and stuff some of you guys drive through. seems a little too hard core for me. |

other than the seats and dash being changed at some stage being a 1 litre it means all the driveline is very old and any parts you are gunna get for it are 1985 or older and its expensive really for a 1 litre, try for an 89 onwards, better engine, wider, jsut better all over and starting from $1500 |

how much money do you want to spend? in june 88 the sierras changed from narrow track diffs to wide track diffs ( a little wider ). The NTs are going fairly cheap , but the wide tracks are what people are usualy after. A good NT will keep you happy though and go just as hardcore as the wide tracks. You can achieve the same with with wheel offsets anyway. |

i might give this one a miss. I dont like the idea of the dash being changed over. So NTs are pre 88 with the one liter motor? what are the ones after 88 called? |

it goes about 80 to 84 narrow track, 1 litre engine 84 to 88.5 narrow track, 1.3 engine 88.5 to 95 wide track 1.3 engine (92 on was a facelift model, slightly different engine and grill) 96 to 98 coil spring 1.3 engine a lot of 1.3 parts are interchangable but different enough to be annoying no 1 litre engine or driveline parts interchange with 1.3's re the dash, it is a later 1 litre dash, so its either been changed or its an 84-85 model 1 litre (85 never officially existed, they were just left over 84 that were slow to sell) |
