Newbie aahhhh

Post by drz400 »

Hi just joined up tonight. found this site when trying to find some info on intercooling my terrano.
Ive had a few 4x4s from suzuki's to landrovers and used to be in a local 4x4 club.
I love 4x4ing havnt done much in the last few years only just got one again after having a 2wd ute for a while. my main pashion is trail riding on my Suzuki drz400 nothing beats being on the back wheel.

Im a stainless steel fabricator and am allways doing perc jobs for mates.
Just about to start doing a heap of sheet meatal work on ford jail bar from fabriating the fire wall, floor welldeck, grill and other bits im sure the list will go on.

Cheers chris :D

Welcome to the site, from another Terrano fan.

Keep us posted on how you get on with your intercooling project and what differences it makes.
It's something I have tought about on mine too, but the space it takes up is a concern as I am wanting to put in a 2nd battery.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.
