Re: WTB: Honda CT90/110

Dunno about the NZ post ones but I'm told a lot of the aftermarket motors use the same mounting patterns so you can bolt a Lifan 140cc in there for example .

Re: Public Access vs Club Access

signposted 'protected' clearing Where is this protected area? Ive been going up there for the last 20 years and have never seen such a sign? It used to be on the right hand side of the track 1/2 to 2/3's the way up on the Te Aroha side. It was destroyed at least 6-8 years ago now, if not a few more.

Re: Public Access vs Club Access

42nd traverse is an example its closed 2 3rds of the year to 4wds and then people have to organize a clearing party with h&s issues around machinery. Just shove more trucks through on a regular basis and a dozer once a year to flatten it out. Job done. It's closed 2/3's of the year as running t...

WTB Mitsubishi Challenger

Wanting a Mitsi Challenger, can either buy one for $5k ish or swap my '99 2 litre J20 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2dr with 2" suspension lift, 30" muds on steelies and stock road alloys, snorkel, auto rear locker, and higher ratio diffs to account for the larger wheels.

Re: Suzuki SusyQ on Big River trail Reefton

I've added Big River Mine to our database of tracks on 4wdTracksNZ this morning as it was on the list to get done anyway. It looks like Suzy Q is very near the top of the track.

Re: performance and modding 1600 Vitara/Escudo vrs V6 2litre

If you get a 2.0v6 budget a timing chain change, a rear crank seal and removal of the rocker cover to drill oil drain hole in the separator to stop it smoking. Try to find a 2.5v6 version, they are rare but the extra torque is good and they don't suffer from the timing chain issues. You also get mo...

Re: performance and modding 1600 Vitara/Escudo vrs V6 2litre

So best bet is to turbo or supercharge it. Take pictures and make a build thread... :D Haha, any mods I do are going to be on the minor end of the scale. So it looks like ideally I really need a v6 then. I've read lots of threads about lifting and have gotten totally confused. Can you lift a V6 2 i...

Hi folks I'm looking for a Vitara/Escudo for some backroad exploring, safari's and maybe playing at woodhill and the like. I'd also like to do some back road touring/camping out of it. I was thinking a 2" lift so I can run some slightly larger tyres, maybe 30's and the extra clearance that give...
