    It really isn't the most manly. It can go anywhere though. That's it ace card.

    true.



    I hear they take ditches really well when their owners think they're a rally driver and snap oversteer bites.....!



    :pac:

    Hey the Jimny is RWD too. Sideways on gravel is very easy...

    I can also attest to this.
    I rented one in Zakynthos, very fun cars!

    I really want to buy one, has to be a targa top though!

    Nothing an angle grinder and a 9" disc wouldn't sort. FYI the soft tops were all made in Spain under licence. Not sure how the quality compares to the ones made in the land of the rising sun.

    And that's why you can only handle 92bhp in your RWD car of course....;)

    Rough guesstimate. It's a 23 year old car that's probably had a tough enough life by the sounds of things, I'd not be too surprised if it was dyno'd as standard and hadn't lost 10-15%..;)

    Good point, lucky for you (or me) I will soon be adding my new LSD diff + some other upgrades :) before I start with putting in my new build engine.
    No hurry here :)

    Great craic. Zero f**cks given by the boys renting em either. A bit of gesticulating to indicate not using 4wd on the road unless it rains, leave the key under mat on the last day.

    Perished tyres squealing round the sharp corners.
