Greets dudes and dudettes. A mate bought a Jimny that fell over from the auctions and he is gunna lop the top off it for a farm hack. He is a mechanical wizard that could put an F1-11 engine in a mini if he put his mind to it so I have no doubt he will have no trouble bunging a 13b into a Jimny (Would be 20b if he could find / afford one)
So he has some steep hills and lots of gravel tracks to play on (Harvey area) but im just wondering how he will go with the rotary. I love the rotors myself (a 20b at full song just makes my pecker hard) but cant imagine what a Zook would be like with rotoary it in ???
should be alright, still a relatively light vehicle being made even lighter so should go ok. probably be pretty thirsty but if he can get a cheap engine then why not. if its a farm hack put whatever engine you want into it.
the jimny drive train isn't overly strong that would be the only issue with a more powerful motor

Bye drive train
I was speaking to another member from perth a few weeks ago who was planing on putting a sr20 into his jimny. But he;s not going to go any more cus of the whole weak drive train thing.

I was gonna jump onto the no torque train but if it is just a farm hack I reckon do it, its not like your tryin to win TT 2012. Would be so much fun on gravel roads.
