There's no replacement for displacement, except fapping great turbos, but for the best bang for your buck (whilst keeping it reliable) then look for an engine conversion. Plenty of the guys on here have 1.6 fitted, I'm sure they will describe the benefits they have found. I must say though the jimny is never going to be the best car for over takes 
good fun on a wet roundabout with mud tyres though

I'd seriously consider it as a second car and use a more suitable one for daily traffic light drag starts.
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

My view - If you want you and your Jimny to travel long distances with comfort, power, good handling, no death wobble and with a friend or three and their bags.. ... .... Buy a trailer!

I think he means a trailer to put the Jimny on! Our Range Rover is faster towing a 2 ton car on a trailer than the Jimny is on its own...jonesyba420 wrote:
