Thought ide put a bit of a speal about my daily, and its long list of backyard modifications. I just cant help myself! A mate of mine first aquired this around 3-4yrs ago off an old lady, who couldnt afford to pay for its service, so she offered the car as payment, Win! He cleaned it up a bit and gave it the extreme initialD paint scheme, then had to move to woolongong. So i bought it off hime for what it owed him and it was mine! quick run down; - car weighs 550kg's - original motor is a 543cc 3cyl, 2 speed(no)powerglide - 19kw at the flywheel - carrying capacity is 350kg's - 20L tank, gets me nearly 400 k's - factory upgraded 12" rims, 145x70's - top speed (with originaly motor) was 110kph, doesnt have a tacho but it did not sound good! haha despite its size, and can haul alot of shit! then came the fun parts, first mod was lowering it. first was the back with 3" lowering blocks, then the front with 2" lowereed king springs; the standard 543cc motor eventually died (didnt like driving on the freeway everyday to work). I bought a Donor car, a suzuki hatch with the massive 796cc motor, and went to work swaping engine the entire running gears from both cars. standard the mightyboys come with a single leaf spring rear, the hatch a triple so that gave the boy a bit less bounce in the rear. the running gear from that hatch had a massive 220,000k's less than the gear i pulled off the boy! Just recently i found some brand new springs/shocks laying on the ground at pick-a-part in woolongongoff a newer suzuki, got them home and modified them to fit which lowered the front another 1.5" at first i dropped it an extr 2" in the front, but then i couldnt turn, ha. so had to raise the spring seat up 1/2" to how it sits now;

I want one. Is all I can say.

LOL rocko so tuff

Epic, love it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I then Decided to rebuild the motor, about a year after i originally put it in, it was getting a bit tired, so out that came decided i should degrease the engine bay cos it was a bit of a mess, which turned into this; cut out the battery tray and any unused brackets, welded up all unused holes, flattened/welded the firewall, relocated all wiring under the guards, smoothed it all off etc; When i got the motor back, began putting it all back together; and how it sits today! with the new motor its got about 500% more torque! speedo only goes to 120, and it pulls hard past that . engine work; - cleaned up and shaved the head, comp ratio is approx 9.5:1 - new pistons, valves - Reground cam - rebuilt carby now ive gotta fix up the rest of the body and itll be mint! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I can't imagine that a suzuki cruise would be hugely entertaining lol. Engine bay looks so good!

love the mightyboys, great work buddy!

lolol this is a giant waste of time and money, but a very entertaining read!

I spend all my spare time on my cars, hardly a waste of time and costs me stuff-all. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
