Id never sell it, as much as i hated the bitch over the last 3 weeks. I invested too much of myself in it. I still own my 1st car that i bought over 10 years ago. and thats a hyundai hairdresser car. I can see the Suzuki love/hate relationship that you all speak of.

Im so glad that i can finally put this behind me and put some more awesomeness on the car.

I think your fuel pressure is fine, thanks for asking.

Did all of the telly track July / August last year as part of a group of 7 Suzukis, one of them being Dave Raeburn in an LJ81 tray (F10A, but otherwise stock). Only issue was rear spring bushes - started out with polly, changed to rubber, still issues. Had fitted aftermarket longer springs for the trip, so changed to longer shackles & that helped. Car was quite weighty though - hard not to be.
Trickled & tricycled over most stuff. Needed a snatch a couple of times - we all did, or winchup.
An LJ is an assault to the senses for that sort of trip - Dave is a fair bit deaf, so just turned his hearing aids off, but you will be eating dust & buzzing as you get out after a decent drive, with all the shaking due to corrugations - definitely a bit wearing.
Have some fun though. Lots of people with big, fancy rigs won't believe their eyes to see you puttering along.
