Re: Vitara 1.6 into Samurai 413

i did dongnuts frequently on the gravel yard with the old engine in the anus, there as a feeling i could do with a bit more power but it did them ok and it wasnt too scary.
I tried it in the vitara and all it did was leaned over and understeered, that was scary.

Re: Vitara 1.6 into Samurai 413

thanks thats great about the altenator

btw i forgot to say, the key barrel was jammed in the anus, i just ripped out the wires from the back and crossed them over until it started usually involving sparks until something happened, any way i can have a switch to start it up.
