Hey guys, i dont know if its just me but my zook is struggling to stay on 110kmph on the high way.

If its not just me, how the hell do you guys go traveling to go wheeling a few hrs away from home, i went to newcastle today and damn that was a slow trip lol.

Any pointers guys ...... except an engine change hahahaha.

oh and she is really gets blown around on the road at 100+ is that usual?

1 How healthy is your engine, what tyres,what gearing
2 How healthy is your engine, Get some patience
3 Need more information why you are slow
4 It is a very light brick, pushing wind, and wind will push you. What do you expect? 33's fixed my problem in the wind. But i needed 6.5's and my 1.3 was dieing so i had a 1.6efi. Even still, in the wind, you feel it.

So you're on stock 205/70/15 tyres? Hmm... Shouldn't have any troubles then...

On another note, why the 2 inch body lift for stock tyres...?

My 1L LWb would do 140 with stock tyres. Something must be wrong for you to struggle at 100

well the body lift was the start of my project to get her up on 33's but the thing is so painful to drive on the highway im seriously thinking about buying a cruiser, dont get me wrong i love the zook but i cant handle being the slowest prick on the road, going up a hill that my forester doesnt even flinch at the zook is back to 3rd doing 70kmph f$%^ that lol

Less than changing to a cruiser..... $4K or less. Depends how much you can do yourself, and how cheap you get the motor etc. Can and has been done for less than $2k.

My X-90 conv owes me $600 :wink:

DIY conversion? Or at a workshop...

Workshop= = 1000s....

DIY, I'd still be budgeting $1k...

For now, give it a good service, new plugs and leads, fresh oil, set the timing etc etc... Then take it from there...
