Hi
I just got my 3.0T SSRX (1995) from a Japanese importer and I am really chuffed with it.
I needed to trade in my old Fiat Bravo HGT- Really nice little car but it did not really suit my build
and was getting a bit knackered.
I did not expect to buy anything when I went out looking but took the surf for a test drive and was hooked. It was a rare manual import so I went for it. I even got Tyre Chains and a breakdown distress flare (required by law in Japan).
Anyhow I had some real fun this weekend. I took it down a green lane near us : Location
Anyhow about halfway along it started getting real challenging with very deep ruts and ditches to go through. I managed to rip of the retro fitted fog lamp and to bend the exhaust pipe (looks much better now) going through this terrain and scared myself silly. In the end I got to a section that was so challenging I was not prepared to go on- I decided to reverse up and turn around. Any how this had led me to wonder is there anywhere I can get information on the condition of these lanes? The entrance to the lane looked fine.
The other question I have is regarding the tyres- I have not yet checked the pressures but there seems to be differing opinions on what pressures should be used. I have the fat arches on mine and BF Goodrich Challengers fitted. I am not sure of the size and will check later. I think they may be 265's. Also it would be handy to know the best pressures for towing as well.
thanks
Chris
