Vehicles (17 Jan 2019)

You can now add the vehicles you own to your profile as little icons that appear in your profile and alongside your posts.
This is a bit of an experiment. Take a look under the "REWARDS" menu across the top of the screen for the vehicles "ADD/MODIFY" option.
Let me know how you get on.

× Are you building a Mud Monster or a Pavement Princess??
If so you can have your own thread in this section.
This section on other websites has led to arguments and contention. People are posting pictures of their pride and joy and therefore CONSTRUCTIVE comments only please!

Turbo Jimny was created by Keithy
Some may recall me scrounging/acquiring a Silver Jimny from Steve in Tenby with a view to modifying it a little....Turbo, Lift, Big tyres, body kit....maybe some other stuff :D

So I've made a start this weekend.....manifold on turbo on just needs lots of pipes and stuff to arrive this week.

How's the rest of the car? All solid?

Go bang...hush your mouth! :D

The cars not too bad....later I'll look at the rear floor and see how I feel....It's been "welded" previously, might just fit a new one so it can be more spacious inside....and a level load space is always nice.

How much boost are you looking at? Will you be getting the fensport turbo head gasket and their other goodies for a few extra horses and more reliability?
It's not a Jimny. It's my Jimny

Oh damn the £310 head gasket is out of stock.... I could just about buy a Megasquirt and control the fuelling for that :D

This is a low budget low boost project....not chasing power that's for the younger generation.....just a little extra for the big motorway hills.

Would just be concerned it may run lean under boost

It needs to have a large user base for it to be do-able for me....I'm determined not to get too deeply involved with new projects.

Do you need to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors ?
