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. Cash only

Suzuki details 2019 Jimny engine and safety specs

Thu, Jul 5 2018

Last month, we were able to publish official images of the upcoming new generation Suzuki Jimny SUV. Now, Suzuki has released a detailed mega-gallery of the boxy 2019 Jimny and some essential information on its powertrain and safety tech. The big news is that the Jimny's introductory engine choice will be bigger than anticipated, as it will be the 1.5-liter, 100-horsepower four-cylinder gasoline engine producing 96 pound-feet of torque. For the time being, no other powertrain options are available, and there's no word yet of a hybrid variant. The offered transmissions are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, and 4WD mode is switchable from a separate gear lever with high and low range. Curb weight is mentioned to be as low as 2400 pounds. As for the Jimny's safety, there's now automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning combined with "Weaving Alert," and also traffic sign detection — certainly high tech for a very small SUV. But it's outside the reach of any road signage where the Jimny is designed to shine, as the image gallery shows with photos of the vehicle off-road. The Jimny's approach angle is 37 degrees, the ramp breakover angle is 28 degrees and the departure angle a nice 49 degrees. The minimum ground clearance is mentioned to be roughly 8.3 inches.

Suzuki iK-2 and iM-4 concepts suggest future style

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Suzuki might no longer sell cars in the US, but the Japanese brand is showing that it's still vibrant in the rest of the world by unveiling two concepts at the Geneva Motor Show. The models also debut some the company's future technology and preview the look of upcoming production vehicles. The iK-2 Concept (top) foreshadows a future compact hatchback, and Suzuki is clear that a production version is due to arrive in Europe in 2016. Its styling is a flowing take on the traditional five-door hatchback, especially around the front fenders. More importantly, the model also rides on the Japanese brand's next-gen platform that promises to be lighter, more rigid, offer better efficiency and improve safety. Power comes from the new Boosterjet engine, but despite the speedy name, it's a 1.0-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged three-cylinder. A mild hybrid system is also going to be offered on the iK-2, but outputs for the powertrains aren't specified yet. The more interesting of the pair visually is the Suzuki iM-4 Concept (pictured inset) that imagines a simple, mini offroader, possibly a replacement for the Jimny. It's on the same platform as the iK-2 but with a much higher ride height and quirky styling. The grille and headlight configuration take inspiration from a pair of sunglasses, Suzuki claims. The model also features broad, fairly unadorned surfaces and short overhangs. The whole look just gives the impression of a little mountain goat ready to go anywhere. Power goes to all four-wheels thanks to a 1.2-liter engine and mild hybrid system. With Suzuki long gone from the US, your best chance to look at the brand's latest concepts might be to check out our live galleries from the Geneva show. iK-2 – SUZUKI'S NEW COMPACT HATCHBACK CONCEPT The smartest compact car developed by pursuit of compact hatchback ideals to a new even higher level for Suzuki Excellent design and utility integrated into a single package Design theme of "Liquid Flow", elegant design with flowing lines suggestive of an energetic movement of liquid Built around a new-generation platform and equipped with BOOSTERJET engine Production model to be released in Europe in 2016 Making its global debut at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, Suzuki Motor Corporationreveals its new compact hatchback concept car, the iK-2. The iK-2, the smartest compact car, offers all the elements expected in a car of this size.

Remembering Suzuki of America... in commercials

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

American Suzuki Motors is leaving us, but as long as the lights are on at YouTube, its commercials will stay behind to remind of the times we shared. We dug up nine commercials - sort of like a Time Life infomercial for an entire brand - and among the starring actors are the X-90 improving the 90s with the help of a Pez dispenser, the Peter Pan-ish Sidekick, Optimus Prime getting his pipes all smoked up over the 1987 Samurai and an XL7 that would have sold in the millions if its commercial were even half true.
We've also included a remarkably oddball eight-minute featurette/commercial about a giant Suzuki Swift. You'll find the retrospective in the videos below. Enjoy.
