well said

oh welcome back

[MacDaddy]

Have you seen one of the new Jimny's up close, we had a new one come on PL trip, just 1 week after leaving the showroom floor, hehe... it went very well offroad for a stocker... and i think the bonnet scoop makes them look a bit tougher... i like it !

i saw them a few months after i bought my brand new december 2011 plated model, i was furious, i thought with the scoop it must be a diesel.
but it wasnt.
i like the look of them.
would be better if the scoop was functional, and not plugged up with plastic.

It is essential to feed the top mount intercooler uleh

I think the bonnet scoop is a vain attempt by suzuki to make the jimny look less gay.

The real question now is, did it work?

If the scoop was open and served a practical function, then i would say it is a step in the right direction, however, as it is closed and is purely cosmetic, it makes it a gay poser similar to the wrangler. At least before the scoop the jimny was a practical butch dyke, but now it is starting to worry about its looks, it makes it less butch and more dainty like a well adjusted gay man.

Went over to see what the guys at top gear had to say about it in their new jimny review:

http://www.topgear.co.za/news/suzukis-jimny-4x4-get-scooped/

Opening statement:

Quote:

Many people don’t get Suzuki’s Jimny.

In Europe it’s seen as the folly of rental agencies. Or the hopelessly camp.

But, in South Africa, where most people have aids from gayness and 4x4s are actually used for their intended broken terrain navigating purpose, the Jimny’s rather well regarded.

There you have it. The new cosmetic scoop, 2 thumbs down.

[atari4x4]

you should totally get a land rover, so less gay than a jimny

[SierraDan]

Make the scoop useful.

[stonedpirate]

Good suggestion.

[droverdave]

I actually first saw the bonnet scoop in new Zealand at a Suzuki dealership, and thought maybe nz got a supercharged version with a top mount intercooler. I figured surely it wasn't a fake scoop and had some use, being own and all. Oh how I was wrong:s

[Dan85]

ive looked into making the scoop on mine usefull and the only hurdle is the electrics ontop of the motor. I believe that rather than make different bonnets for different motor configurations they just gave everyone the diesel bonnet to save costs on multiple parts and the like. but i agree the plugged scoop is just asking for a gay lover. ill make mine useful one day.

[SierraDan]

Why was your first thought supercharged? Haha.
I'd think 660 turbo or a diesel first.

[joel]

who cares about looks though seriously?
show ponies.

if it looks gay... than i am a raging penis loving sword swallower.



also, tari, have you seen the abortion land rover are making the defender into come 2015, have you seen the cost difference between the 2? not even the same sporting arena let alone the same game.

[atari4x4]

have you seen or remember stoned pirates other jimny/suzuki threads, he has homophobia.

don't care on the cost difference... i followed a brand new black def 90 the other day through the city & it made me moist!!!

2015 hey? so there is another 2 years of being able to buy a good one.

[stonedpirate]

when even the totally straight defender turns gay, there is no hope for a better future

good, may be an over statement, the puma engine has had its faults.
also if he is such a homophobe, he wouldnt want a new defender with the PUMA engine (poofter under medical attention)
great suspension and bodies, usual crappy (ish) running gear, and they chew threw swivel hub seals really quickly, even without mud.
also, spares cost a lot!
and not many workshops want to touch them.
but yes they look damn good.
the 2015 model will be the death rattle for the defender icon. its as homo as 10 buff man sensually kissing each others neck.

Late breaking news

[zukenutter]

^^ LOL

I was wondering if the Stoned Pirate would make a return one day.

I've been doing a bit of research lately regarding Defender 90s, Puma doesn't sound good. TATA owning LR can't be a good thing either.
