Hello to all,
i have just purchased my first ever X90. I havnt even driven it yet (was on ebay)
Anyway my intention is to use it for my drive to work (20 odd miles) and some light off roading.
So i would love to know what mods people would advise,how much they gonna cost and where can i get the parts. I can spend about £500 and i obviously want to lift it and get bigger wheels and tyres,what else can i do.
Many thanks.

It could be worse, me and the missus were gifted a
purple Micra some years ago from a relative, so had to keep for some time

Welcome to the forum,the X90 does look like it has potential and infact i rather like the styling of them,the jury is still out about the colour though,not sure if the X90 was 4 or 2WD or both option,if yours is the 4WD option then you dont need to worry.
Good luck with the new truck and keep us updated on how it goes.

As yours is the 4WD version then half the battle is one,must admit i just keep my old Vitara totally bog standard interms of off road equipment etc,i do use mine on muddy boggy ground conditions when i detect on farms every weekend and have never got stuck,bogged down and the old gal just keeps plodding along,i dont even have off road tyres on mine if i recall they are the cheapest van tyres remoulds that i could get.
Something must be right as it just keeps coming back for more.
Once again well done on the new set of wheels.
