Gen Posted November 20, 2018 Share My double cab saved my life the other day..(or at least prevented what could've been a big crash) When you hit something in the road and go bounce and still stay on course then you know the car and fat tekkies handle well. coppi, gummibear, BSG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted November 20, 2018 Share This is my daughter's Suzuki, Nissan 1400 motor conversion. Sorry for the pic being turned wrong way.Awesome car for a student. How does it run with the Nissan motor? My old man had one many moons ago that had a Colt Galant 2.5 ( I think) motor in. He bought it like that. It was constantly breaking down, so he eventually sold it. The power to weight on the original small engine was quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSG Posted November 21, 2018 Share Awesome car for a student. How does it run with the Nissan motor? My old man had one many moons ago that had a Colt Galant 2.5 ( I think) motor in. He bought it like that. It was constantly breaking down, so he eventually sold it. The power to weight on the original small engine was quite nice.It's not too light on fuel, in town about 8km/L and on highway about 10km/L. At 120km/h it sounds as if it's over reffing so the best cruising speed is at about 100km/h. Pulls very well, had some carburetor problems but that was due to a faulty new carburetor. Changed it with another new one and since then it's fine. No power steering but the car is so light, 750kg, so it steers very easily. Because it's an old car, you get some gremlins which one has difficulty sorting out because most of the mechanics today can't work on cars without computers to tell them via diagnostics what or where the problem lies.The best engine for this car I think is still the original one it came out with. The 1000 (could be 1100) Suzuki motor. Edited November 21, 2018 by BSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
