Just wondering what the benefits of putting a vitara engine in a sammi are.Does it improve the MPG and does the top end speed increase by much.I'm having second thoughts about selling my sammi now,its running pretty good now and i even got 70mph out of it on the m42 today,its mainly the fuel consump...

More little problems,my rocker cover gasket seems to have disintegrated after a few short weeks it was a cork type one so i've ordered one from japarts but i also need a carburettor gasket and bolts as the previous mechanic has the carb held on with threaded rod with 2 nuts missing and the others no...

That was the way i was going to go but people who know more than me have suggested stripping it first and having a look at what needs doing.There's a cheap rough looking one on ebay thats just up the road from me which i may get any way just in case, and if mine's not that bad I've got some'art to p...

Yes i'll do that dan,I'm hoping to do most of it myself under close supervision,First job is to clear space in the shed.
