PEAK PUTTERS

Well I figure it's about time I share my current project. Sorry no pictures yet.

A few months ago a bought a '94 Suzuki Sidekick for $300. It burt a little oil but I was planning on rebuilding the motor anyway.

So after I get home and start looking at what I have here's what I'm looking at. A 16-valve 1.6L 90+ HP motor, Yeah, BIG POWER!!!!
A 4-speed tranny that appears to be hydrolic F N R and electric 1234 so I should be able to start in any gear which makes me feel better about switch from manual to auto. Also it's got an electric torque converter.

The T-case can be modified (cut the front output) and turned into a doubler. So I should end up with 1.?:1, 4:1, and 7.44:1 ratios.

The motor, tranny, T-case are out. Waiting to hear back from machine shops.

I also found a brand new handheld CB.

I may use the seats for my street zuk.

I may use the AC compressor for an air compressor.

In the process I'm going to finally finish my bumpers so I have a front winching bumper and a rear tire swing.

Cherokee springs up front and possibly in the rear to stretch my wheelbase and give me a better ride.

um... That's it for now.

We've used K&U in sunnyside for about 20 years and never had a hiccup, they know their stuff.


You get that thing stripped yet so I can come haul it away?

Just need to get the wiring out.

You still interesting in the rolling body?

YES

Let's talk bacon!

But before I get there, I have a noobie question about wiring harnesses. I've found 3 computers of which I assume one is motor, one is tranny, and the third is AC? Also, I assumed that there would be separate harnesses for the engine, body, tranny etc. However, I just got one hell of a snake of wires I know I don't all need. Any suggestions from the veterans on the board?

OH, just pulled the gas tank since it was dented to crap and only held on by one bolt and the hoses. Despite the gauge reading empty there's quite a bit of gas left in it. Anyone interested in 2 year old gas, you can have it!

The wife won't left me pour it in the pond to try and have a fish fry!

+12vdc to the coil. All the rest is foo foo.

Used gas? Heck yea I'll take it! Thats what I burn in my shop heater mixed with used oil.


As far as the harness it'll need to be thinned or just swap the whole thing into the sami body.

I've got some of that too. I guess you'll have more reasons to make your wife stop here this weekend

Perfect

Found a few more computers!

So now I've got
2 in metal enclosures
1 larger plastic enclosure
1 for the security system
1 hooked up to the AC
1 other one.

Also, I can't figure out how to get the key switch off the steering column. I know I don't really need it, but I want to be 100% sure I don't kick myself having to research what wire does what.
