Getting ready to be a first time buyer

[Polie]

Wow. Are you really pushing all that rubber around with 81 cubic inches of raw power???

I had a Sammi for years & never even considered running that much rubber.

BTW, you're only gonna be able to get about 3" of lift but that is enough to run 33x12.50. You'll have to trim the cladding on the front.

Also, be prepared to replace the CV boots on a regular basis after you lift. Use the search function on CV boots to read all about it. Also search on diff drop for more reading.

Nope I have a 1.6 8v of pure raw squirrel power. I had a very high performance motor built. It has about 12:1 compression and revs up to about 10k RPM's. I took the 4.9:1 t-case out for a stocker but have left the 5.38's in the diffs for around town. She drives 70mph with no problems, granted she screams like a banshee with those gears. When I had everything still stock but the motor, I was cruising between Cali and WA up through the pass at over 90mph. The little thing really dose fly.

About the CV's that what I would expect. I was looking at the L4x cv boot last night. I might as well order a couple until I figure out a solid axle. I am thinking now maybe just a simpler lift and start looking at a solid front axle with a 3 or 4 link on both ends, but that is then starting to get away from the gloried grocery getter idea I had at first.


EDIT:

This is the VX I am about to buy
