Nice I like it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Got my 2" spacers today (many thanks Dennis!!). That'll be a mini-project for my next set of off days... SAAS pod filter and air scoop already in, instant improvement in power and MPG. (and very pleasant induction roar at full throttle). Throttlebody clean and port to follow <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

cool thanks i found it on ebay but im trying to find out what model sportage its for but i will let u know.

just a thought...

a stock motor with an Eaton blower will net you nearly 200. might be cheaper.

hey dave ..........so far its has cost me just on $1000 to get all the gear to turbo my beastie.....it comes in handy when you are a mechanic......hehe <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

$1000.00

Wow...To much!

Nice ...... is there a Tub lift there?

How big do You really wanna go is a good question = This is what I started with = Brand new 02 two door.

Within 2 months this is how what became = sitting on 31" boggers with a 1 3/8" body lift & a custom 4" suspension lift.

After 17 k miles this is what I did = 35's with air lockers and a complete 86 of all the stock suspension.

The reason I am putting this out there = is to the question of how far do You want to go, if your goal is to end up with a extreme off road machine, dont do like I did & spend alot of time & $$$.$$ building & building just to torch it all off and build it big. I thought I would be happy with the 1st customization, what I am saying is look at the final of what You want the rig to do, then plan your build.

The Rokia build has transformed into all but a Krawler due to lower T-Case gears are not available & we cannot get enough interest / for somebody to build lower gears for us. They wanna build 1'000 pieces so they can profit. Personally I know of about 6 of us that are willing to spend whatever it cost's in cash to achieve that. If we could find somebody to build even a 4:1 T-Case gear this would bring the older Sportages into allmost equil to the Samurias.

So back to the how big do You wanna build it, is the best question
