Hi all !! Never been on a forum so bear with!!
Just brought myself a new ride ain't picked it up yet but got big plans!
I don't no what model it is??
Think it's a 1.3 want it to be 1.6 is it possible?
It's taxed and mot and full off mud !!
How much should of paid for my new ride??
It's got su carb ( don't no wot this is?)
Remote winch
Twin battery convention
Cobra seats
New tires and four spare wheels and tiers (off road)

Welcome to scuk it is a 1.3 yes u can fit a 1.6 8v vitara engine
I would say its worth about 1200 thats if it comes with the winch

welcome that is a Suzuki samurai 1988-1989, also you can just dump a 1.6 in with a few modifcations here and there

Ahh thanks guys! Well I paid ?1100 and yes the winch comes with it, it has a remote lead, what is su carb all about ?? I'm now on the prowl for the 1.6 dose it make much difference in your expert knowledge ?? At least I now no what model it is!
Never drivin one so am intreeged - oh I can't spell!
Got many a questions for you's
But a screening one year old in the background
Thanks for my welcome !

not a bad price for a bag of sand! , Su carb they say is the best carb you can get for the 413/1.6 vitara 8v as it has good perfomance and they are good for reliability, although you need to change the inlet manifold/get your one modified. there a good carbs once set up right ,though the standard 8v carb is good anyway i never had any problems with mine

Welcome to the club

to the club .

Thanks for that ,
I've only ever changed an engine in a mk2 escort so let's hope it's as straight forward changing this 13 to a 16!!!?? How much would you think I'd pay for a 1.6 lump and you say a vitara with mods is that the engine mounts?? I've had a look on this forum at engine change and seen some great pic and info
But it makes it sound easy !! I'm no mechanic but gonna give it ago!
The guy I got it from says it dose 60/65 comfortable will the 1.6 make it do 70/80 or
Just more power in the mud !
I'm after a full cargo roof rack for camping gear any ideas n don't wanna pay loads ??!!!
Thanks again

Hi looks good

hope you will enjoy your new rig, looks awesome as it stands, how's the rust in it?
about the cargo rack, just weld one yourself that bolts onto the existing roof rails
