Here's Why I Bought a Suzuki JIMNY!

[@Shmee150]

Lots of you have asked why I decided to buy a Suzuki Jimny and what I plan to do with it, so join me for a Fuel For Thought to take it out and discover why and what's on the cards!

Modern ACs disconnect when you're asking engine for full power causing no loss. Tested on the dyno :)

arekb5 I highly doubt that’s every car, my fiesta is 3 years old now but still not ancient and it definitely doesn’t disconnect the AC depending on throttle input.

[@AnkitSingh-ez5gc]

@@arekb5951 I do feel the AC affected when I ask for more power. Idk if it disconnects or just gets less power. 16 Hyundai Verna

[@arekb5951]

My friend is a tuner and during a remap of my 2010 renault we did a run with AC on and the power output was the same. He said that it's common even in older cars. Maybe it depends on the car, or maybe it only disengages the AC compressor at wide open throttle, I don't know. It could also depend on AC type, automatic, manual etc.

[@antontaylor4530]

As the owner of an offroad Zuki SJ, I can tell you that nothing makes them look cooler than big mud terrain tyres, the more aggressive the better. Make sure you alter the gearing if you go that way though - a 410 transfer box might fit (it was the go-to swap on the outgoing Jimny). 31 or 33 simex style tyres are best looking, and absolutely crush offroad. After that, a winch bumper, maybe bullbars (maybe), some LED spots/lightbar. Be careful not to go too far though, or you'll start looking try-hard if it's not regularly covered in mud.
