Looks awesome Luke, very similar to the Jimny's MK1 roof, comes off in sections!

Do they say on the instructions never to drive with the side panels off? My manual says I will get Carbon Monoxide Poisoning! XD

Looks like a Bridleway??

Looks smart though, that new roof really lifts the whole look!

Ha, it's just where the bridle way follows the road for a bit, you can't see very well but the bridleway is behind my zook (another sign post points that way) and that cuts through a field, this one points the direction to next bit of bridleway that runs through the next field,

So, a little further on, I found my petrol gauge not reading..... After checking through the circuit, I found my aftermarket white rials peeling off my clocks and catching the needle!!!
So off with the dials, and off with the white dials, I'm quite happy to stick with my old black dials,

On another note, I was investigating my issue with my top speed (60mph max) I had a go at re-tuning my weber by ear, things were better but no real increase in power. Next I checked my timing, the manual says 10degrees, I checked and mine was set at 7degrees! D'oh, I've reset it to 10degrees (using the front pulley) and I'll go try it tomorrow on my commute! Hopefully this will cure my speed issues and I'm hoping for 70mph! Whilst doing this I did notice that the timing marks on my fly wheel only go from 7 - 9 degrees, I know on the older 413 the timing is set at 8, did they just use older flywheels castings on new engines? Are samurai's supposed to have different timing marks?

Bet you are loving having this back on the road!

YOu should also know by now that suzuki just use up whatever stock they have lying around :lol: I'm sure it'll run better with the correct timing, might even get away with 11-12*
