2009 Suzuki Sx4 Rally Car on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
|
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. |

Suzuki's next Jimny won't veer too far from The Way Of The Samurai
Sat, Nov 29 2014Suzuki might be gone as an automaker in the US, but the brand is still driving along in other parts of the world. In fact, it even has new products in the pipeline and among them is a replacement for the venerable Jimny compact SUV (better known as the Samurai in America). The last all-new Jimny hit the market back in 1998, but the little SUVs have grown quite a cult following, especially in the UK. Farmers love them because the compact vehicles can go just about anywhere, thanks to a relatively high ground clearance, small size and four-wheel drive. With the new generation due in 2017, according to Top Gear, that's nearly 20 years of hard work for this off-roader. Though, Suzuki refreshed the Jimny slightly for the 2013 model year (pictured above) across the pond with a revised front end. Don't expect the future iteration to go soft, though. Unlike the similarly long-lived Land Rover Defender, which is rumored to be a bit friendlier in its next generation, Suzuki wants keep the model's abilities as capable as possible, while adding some modern assistance systems. "The next Jimny will be an evolution. It will follow the same recipe. When you see it you'll know it's a Jimny," said the automaker's UK sales boss Dale Wyatt to Top Gear. "If you were a sheep farmer in the Scottish hills you'd see the car is perfect; no argument to change it." If all these promises about the future come true, we might get to hear about the Jimny driving around the world or pulling a huge truck out of the snow for many years to come.
Suzuki Swift gets a motorcycle-inspired wide body for Tokyo Auto Salon
Mon, Jan 6 2020Tokyo Auto Salon is just around the corner, and companies such as Daihatsu and Mitsubishi have announced a slew of impressive custom cars. Suzuki has also announced its custom lineup, which is a bit humble this year at just three. They range from the wild Suzuki Swift Sport Katana to the mild Hustler Street Base. The Swift is the most impressive of Suzuki's show cars. Its name, and supposedly its looks, are based on the Katana sports bike. We're not sure they have that much in common beyond the silver and red paint job, but that's all right because this Swift still looks excellent. It features aggressive fender flares and a reworked front fascia. Bigger, wider wheels fit underneath those flares, and it has side-exit exhaust to cap off the extreme design. Next up is the Suzuki Jimny Sierra Marine Edition. Suzuki started with the wider Jimny Sierra model and fitted it with equipment for a day in and around the water. It has storage for fishing rods on either side and an interior covered in wetsuit material. The roof has been raised for extra interior space. The exterior also gets a garnish of visual upgrades such as custom wheels, chrome trim, paint scheme, auxiliary lights and tow rings. The third and final custom vehicle is the Hustler Street Base. It's fairly basic with a matte gray paint scheme, a few decals, and an upgraded audio system inside with some flashy lighting. Apparently it's designed for hip young people who live in the city and might be interested in extreme sports and an active lifestyle. Related Video: Â Â
Buy my Vitara, special-effects pro says in greatest commercial Suzuki never made
Mon, May 8 2017A month ago, Eugene Romanovsky posted an advertisement to sell "my best friend," his 1996 Suzuki Vitara, also known as the Sidekick in the United States, on YouTube. The 2.1 million people who have viewed the commercial so far may not have actually considered taking the car off his hands, but every one of them has had a good laugh. The production values of the video far surpass the production values that went into the making of the car itself. Romanovsky is a special-effects artist at the creative group Gravity in Tel Aviv. For the remaining few million of you who have not yet seen the #BuyMyViara video, it would be a disservice to tell reveal what's in it. Let's just say there's not much that isn't in it. The car's book value of a couple-grand belies the fact that it is truly the most amazing vehicle ever built. It does, after all, boast 96 horsepower and a manual transmission featuring a low gear. Trust us, just watch the video. Related Video: Weird Car News Suzuki SUV Videos viral video
