Re: Coiled turqoise samurai
Finally back home. Though I'm not overly happy with how the rear is sat. It's actually sat level but it looks like the rear is down. I prefer the rear up abit. It's abit difficult with it being custom and ligh, there's no off the shelf parts that will work, all trial and error
Re: Coiled turqoise samurai
Looks great mind! Could always add a small coil spring spacer to adjust the height.
Either that or it’s coilover time![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Coiled turqoise samurai
Sometimes I just wish I had something standard that you could just buy off the shelf parts.................... Oh wait
I do plan on buying some new rear springs anyway so might just get some spring seat rubbers and see if that picks it up abit.
I'm feeling a 16v now though I won't lie, especially after driving my green one about, keep the blue one for some road and non damaging green lanes

Re: Coiled turqoise samurai
The 16v is a good swap. It’s the way I’m going with Blue now.
What springs are you running? We have some pretty much new Gen4 Jimny springs in the workshop as we fitted a 2” lift to my Dads.

Standard jimny fronts all round
I think now the green one is ready to be used I'm going to properly look into the 16v swap

Re: Coiled turqoise samurai
So another year and half goes by and I though time for some TLC. Gearbox out and rebuilt, transfer box rebuilt, new rear wheel bearings and break pads, rear diff rebuilt. Should be good as new.
