For sale is
a 2009 Suzuki SX4 sport all-wheel drive that has been converted to a
street-legal Rally look-alike car. It has navigation, keyless entry package so you don’t
need a key to unlock or start the car, seat warmers, nice fog lights, and a 6
disk in dash CD changer. It has the
following features: RRM turbo
kit, dialed in at 11psi. The car was
sent to Road Race Motorsports in LA for conversion. Some years before, this shop was hired by
Suzuki to convert some SX4s for car show display – to check market reaction to
a gussied-up hot-rod SX4. After doing
this work for Suzuki, they decided to make some of these for privateers, since
they had done the development work on the turbo system, suspension, and body
work. I think they have done at least
four cars for customers, mine is the second one they did. RRM is just great on the service aspect, I
would highly recommend contacting the gents there for anything. The body has a
custom-made carbon-fiber-look vented hood and front bumper facia. These parts are light, as is the custom rear
bumper facia. I purchased the rear wing
and had them incorporate it into the finished car. I had them remove the roof rack and paint the
black stripe down the roof, clear to the rear bumper. Suzuki motorcycle mirrors are mounted to the
doors. RRM-designed sill extensions are
mounted beneath the door longitudinals.
I put on the rally mudflaps. Under the
hood is the stock SX4 engine with a RRM-developed turbo system, putting out a
mild 10-11 psi of boost – but way stronger than the stock engine! RRM designed the exhaust manifold and the
intercooler plumbing. The exhaust has a
high-flow catalyst, and ends in a Magnaflow muffler hung under the rear end. The
suspension is a real strong point here. I
told RRM that I wanted it stiffer, but not a teeth-rattling 200% of the stock
rates, but at 115-120% of the spring rate and damping rates of the stock
springs and dampers. They nailed it. With the addition of a fat rear anti-sway
bar, this car handles like a go-cart with suspension. On a snow-packed road, it is heavenly! The car has 4 hardly-used snow tires on it.
All the rotors have been vented. I used
it as a Winter car only, in the off-season it sat garaged with a battery
maintainer on it. The interior
is stock and virtually brand new, with the exception of a NRG Innovations
steering wheel and a boost gauge on the left side. The red button on the left side of the
steering column is the horn. It has
always been garaged. I have mounted an
Odessey 12v battery under the passenger seat.
The car has 28600K miles on it. The air conditioning was removed to save weight since this was a winter car, but I have all the parts needed to put it back. |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Suzuki Baleno set for Frankfurt debut [w/video]
Sat, Aug 8 2015Suzuki is following up the introduction of the compact iK-2 concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show with the debut of a production version called the Baleno at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Beyond some tweaks to the design of the headlights and taillights, the shapes of the chunky, five-door hatchbacks are practically identical. It goes on sale in the UK next summer. The Baleno rides on Suzuki's next-gen platform that's lighter and more rigid than before, and under the hood, there's the Japanese brand's new Boosterjet engine. Despite the high-flying name, it's just a 1.0-liter, direct injected and turbocharged mill. In Geneva, the company also mentioned that a mild hybrid version would be offered. Suzuki is dropping bigger details about the little car in Germany. Until then, the teaser video below provides brief glimpses at the front and rear of the Baleno.

SUZUKI BALENO HATCHBACK TO DEBUT AT THE 66TH IAA FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW The all new Baleno, an ideal hatchback from compact car expert Suzuki is set to make its world premiere at the 66th IAA Frankfurt Motor Show.* The debut of the full production version follows on from the iK-2 Concept seen at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. The Baleno harmoniously combines stylish design, spacious interior and new technologies. These new technologies include the first application of the newly Suzuki developed 1.0-litre BOOSTERJET direct injection turbocharged petrol engine that saves fuel while delivering driving pleasure. Fuel efficiency has been improved by reducing engine displacement; output and torque are boosted by using a turbocharger. In addition to fulfilling fuel efficiency and dynamic performance expectations, the layout has been optimised and various technologies used to reduce weight in order to meet the rigorous size and weight requirements specific to compact cars. The new Baleno will be launched in the UK early next Summer. Further details of the Baleno will be disclosed at the Suzuki press conference at the Frankfurt Motor show. The conference will be held at 1.15pm on Tuesday 15th September. We look forward to welcoming you on stand B12 in Hall 9.0. Learn more at http://www.globalsuzuki.com/iaa2015/, a special Baleno website. *At Messe Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main; press days 15-16 September, public days 17-27 September.
