Not normally a fan of 86's but your one definitely deserved some attention, lovely new super charger and an amazingly clean install/engine bay

Need to know more about that smart 4x4, that's my sort of crazy. Shame we didn't get to see the Sky Jag up in the revolve pits, would have loved a detailed look.

Hi, yes this is on a suzuki Jimny chassis, with a 2003 Smart roadster body. The engine is a 1.6 8v vitara with and automatic gearbox. It has a 4 inch lift from the suzuki chassis with uprated shocks and spring. Diff locker in the front and rear axles.
Suzuki Jimny was a 1998 model, the vitara was 1994.
I brought the vehicle as a shell pretty much, it was only intented for off road use. Ive finished it last month, its taken 2 years to completely . Rewired everything, rebiuld the brakes and drive system etc. If you want to look at some build pictures look me up on FB or PM me

Hi Simon,

Your car attracted so much attention (including from me!) - You should definitely do an article for the homepage and / or a build thread. Absolutely crazy car (in a good way!)

Good meet as always, did I see someone filming as we were all leaving? Anyone tracked down the footage?

There was definitely someone filming exits, but who knows when it will see the light of day.
