I bought this about a year ago. Since then I have replaced the stock carb with a Weber conversion, powdercoated a few engine parts, and installed a tach. Also has a new battery and exhaust. The carb has a manual choke routed to the left of the steering wheel. Since installing the Weber I have consistently hit 27-30MPG. This thing is a blast to drive. Chances are if you are looking at this you know what it is. Other than the above listed, it is stock. No suspension lift or larger wheels and tires. Everything works! Hubs lock, 4x4 works. Even the wiper squirters work. Motor: stock 1.3L with the Weber carb. New exhaust is minus the cat. converter. I was told by the previous owner that the motor was freshened up but I have no proof. I will state that the alternator and water pump look new. Fires right up and runs great. It is CLEAN as far as rust goes. The underside is solid. Rockers are solid. You will notice surface rust near the hinges, around the battery box, and a few spots under the rear windows (see pics). The bottoms of the doors are completely solid but have a few surface rust spots. I have had this garaged since I bought it and refused to drive it during the winter due to how rust free it is. The paint is not show quality but still looks good and appears to be original. There is a dent on the drivers rear corner (see pic). The interior is stock and seats have small tears. Back seat included but removed as I transport my dog in the back. Glove box door hinge is broken but door stays in place. Now for the bad: oil leak from bottom end (either pan or rear main), second gear synchro is starting to go. Still shifts fine if you are used to it, but if not second will grind. The interior floor looks bad and carpet is shot. If I were going to keep it I would Linex the inside, fix the leak, and deal with the trans until I had the time to pull it. I am trying to be as honest as possible and have therefore pointed out as much negative as I can. These are all easy fixes for most. This sammy is not all cut up and beat on. It would make an excellent starting point for a new build or simply a great driver to tool around in. Feel free to contact me. Come by for a look and test drive. Mileage currently at 90,000.

Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules
Thu, Jan 23 2020AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Osamu Suzuki names son Toshihiro president and COO
Wed, Jul 1 2015The old guard is slowly changing at Suzuki. The Japanese automaker controlled by its namesake family has appointed its scion, Toshihiro Suzuki, as its new president and chief operating officer. However, his aging father, Osamu Suzuki, now 85 years old, will continue to serve as chairman and CEO. The promotion was announced as part of a new board of directors revealed by Suzuki on Tuesday, confirming several executive and board appointments. They include the nomination of Yasuhito Harayama as vice chairman and Osamu Honda as chief technology officer. The eldest son of longtime chairman Osamu Suzuki, 56-year-old Toshihiro was named an executive vice president of the company in 2011. He's been widely regarded as the heir apparent, especially since his brother-in-law Hirotaka Ono died in 2007. Another president & COO, Hiroshi Tsuda, resigned in 2008, leaving Osamu Suzuki firmly in charge. Toshihiro is anticipated to eventually take over from his father, but it remains unclear when that transition might finally take place. 30 June 2015 Change of Representative Directors and Appointment of Executives At the Board of Directors held on 30 June 2015, Suzuki Motor Corporation has made the change of Representative Directors as follows.
