time has come to complete my project
so is a 1986 Suzuki samurai with a 12a..... ok so i took over this project if you are going to critique the wheels please dont post i bought it with the wheels i dont know if i like them yet they are 20" wheels here is how i bought it:
So we started by taking out the eng to se what we were working with
after opening up the eng i dont even know how it was running you got to love a 12a
the rotors and housing are no good not even the 3mm apex seals can fix them so if anyone know where i could get a hold of 1 12a housing and the rotors hit me up. i recived all the parts for the sami but there is still much work
this harnest is worth less i bought one from ez wiring
almost all cleaned up getting it ready fro paint
the i removed the dash and all the wires
i am replacing it with an all aluminum one just like this one
this is the set up im going with:
12a half BP all seals replased with atkins (apex, side, and solid corner, 93 corner spring) replacing everything with new
stage 1 exedy clutch
with a holley 600
holley blue fuel pump
all new electronic gauges (found a place that would custom make the speedo sending unit)
the samurai had the rear end replaced with a dana 44 so i bought 4.55 ring and pinion with all new install kit
i will keep up dating the pictures

god I can't wait to get mine going. I'm doing a 4wd one now. Getting ready to get a donor and pull the sami engine. Can you get some pictures of the clutch master so I can see how its mounted on the inside and hooked up?

So I just found out that my lug pattern is 5x5.5 so there goes the idea of weld wheels might have to go with rock crawling wheels and street tires the 20s will have to do till I find a good option

Answer is why not .... And no they do not tip easy if they are lowered plus I'm not racing circuit racing on it .... Do a search on YouTube and u will c why.... Plus any eng is better on a Sami than the stock 60 hp eng ... So why not a rotary
