Suzuki help needed

[Ashley]

what would you recommend to be done to a suzuki for off roading ie suspension mods etc and where do you get the bits from

also the clutch has gone can you get uprated replacements or can you only get standard clutches where is the best place to get them from

its an sj 413 by the way

Cheers for the help and advice

Hi Ashley, you don't have to do anything to an SJ to take it off road, take it out 1st then see what you want to do to it. As for clutches you can get uprated ones from various places try

Personally i wouldnt bother with an uprated clutch, use a cheap one as it'll only get destroyed if you fill the bellhousing with muddy water ! I'd take it out as-is as Popeye says, maybe get some cheap mud terrain tyres but nothing else till you've seen what others are doing and decide how you want to use your car - mud plugging at fundays or green lanes etc.

Vitara only needed decent tires, that said she coped with a playday on really bad road tyres :)

She has now had decent AT tyres on now (General grabber AT2) and a Snorkel to stop her drowing. But se was capable without and I'd guess that would apply even more to an SJ

I've got a set of spare muds with rims that you could use if you want Ashley

[Ashley]

well the people who own it bought it off ebay its got some decent mud tyres on a snorkel and i think its a 2" lift on shackles, we already had the mud in bellhousing problem on the 2nd outing at devils pit now the clucth if dead after being fried at whaddon turning over another rolled suzuki, and the coil has past is its best as well, we were just wondering what else can be done and whether its worth doing anymore to it, but where looking at an uprated clutch so we could attemp some more daring stuff in it, that said it did put a lot of landys to shame at devils pit, any advise or help appreciated

Cheers

Just add mud :)

Already done more than we have on the vit, and the only thing the vit cries out for is a bit of lift, which you've done :)

Smother the new coil with either comformamal coating ot mount it in a plastic lunch box to keep it dry and use loads of grease.

before you rip it out check your leads though.

£40 got the vit new plugs, leads, rotor, cap and air filter and it was money well spent.

i'v just been laning in my zook.followed landy's,everywhere they went,i went!there should be some pics on the west yorks laning.have a look on that.

my zook (not the one pictured) is pretty much standard,just has mud tyres.the best advice i can give you would be take it out and scare yourself.you'll give in before the zook will!honest it suprised me earlier!other advice is speak to KAP they give you sound honest advice and are top blokes!

i wouldn't spend loads of money doing spoa and exterme lifts,these zooks just don't need em.spoa alters all the centre of gravity!just a nice simple 2"-3" lift so you can fit decent tyres.
