Man, that Zook looks shiney :shock:

(must be the light) Cool truck, and "finished" is a relative term. :lol:

I read up on a cheap brake master cylinder upgrade for our wee trucks on an overseas forum. PM me if you're interested. Not that I'm trying to spend your cash or anything

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:02 pm

about time for an update..... A while ago i said my zuk was almost finished?? worse thing i ever said!!! After finding out i have two cylinders way down on compression i decided to replace the motor and Chris (rotazuk) just happened to have a 1600 carbed vitara motor sitting in his garage, so deals were done and the motor will be a work tomorrow!!!

next post will have pics etc....
swap will be started next week sometime...

Dont forget to pop the head off the old motor to see what caused the drop in compression? :?:
