Santana Fusebox

Hi guys. I've had loads of electrical problems with my '89 Santana over the lest few weeks. Everything from headlights occasionally working and the ignition just stopping whilst driving. I found the problem was the fuse box. A passenger has at some point put their foot against it, and it has cracked...

Re: More 'Umft' out of a SJ 410 engine.

Heavy duty bumpers are on the list (quite close to the bottom). I've been having a read about what modifications that need doing but I have some questions. 1) My SJ has a 2" Shackle lift. Does this mean that I won't need to put in extended bump stops or modify the sump on the 1.6 engine? 2) I c...

Re: More 'Umft' out of a SJ 410 engine.

I guess that 1.6 it is then, better wait for the bank balance to come up a bit first! Luckily, I already have a 1.3 Gearbox :D Slamming on the brakes wouldn't be the best of ideas, there's a chance of them hitting me... I just adjusted the brake light switch so it lights up before any braking force ...

Re: Do not use 4 wheel drive on tarmac.

"The image above is the transfer case of my anus Grand Cherokee after accidentally driving for about 150 miles in part time 4WD on the freeway. It exploded at about 70 mph."

Hmm.. I bet that the transfer box wasn't the only thing he had to change if he was doing 70mph!

More 'Umft' out of a SJ 410 engine.

Hi guys, After finishing the bodywork on my donor body, I'm toying with the idea of putting in a 1.6 Vitara engine into my SJ. Main reason is that I'm fed up of crawling up hills at 30mph with some complete cunt driving only 3" away from my bumper. But, before spending beer tokens on a 1.6 engi...

Copper Fuel Pipe

I've been meaning to replace the fuel line under my SJ for a while now. It's getting a bit crusty in places. What size pipe are they meant to be? It's corroded so much I cant figure out what size it should be. My SJ is a 410 Santana.
Many Thanks

Is it just me, or would a SJ covered with that armour mesh look awesome?
