1988 Suzuki Samurai 4x4 Hard top/Tintop. It was just inspected on 7/29/14. Clean title in hand. Just got out of the shop with a fresh motor from a 84 VW rabbit. New water pump, timing chain, tensioner, oil pressure sensor, coolant temp sensor, and new set of guages (oil, temp, and boost). Have receipt for $2500 spent this july to get this vehicle in tip top shape.

This is a rare machine and is in excellent condition for its age with a lot of custom modifications. Most notably is the swap to a 1.6L VW intercooled turbo diesel engine. Plenty of power and we have averaged over 30mpg on our mountain roads. Also has spring over axle conversion lift, alloy wheels, full size spare on matching alloy wheel, custom mossy oak interior, custom steel rock rails, Yakima Roof Rack system, nice (pioneer & alpine) stereo system, rear third jumpseat, custom front bumper with grill for intercooler and foglights, recent paintjob, recent clutch 10k ago, and probably more. Won't find too many like this one.

We have owned it 2 years and it was our regular drive to town car. 30-35mpg on our mountain roads and the power to run 55 uphill. I have owned a stock motor samurai and it was painfully underpowered. We looked long and hard for this vehicle and have yet to see another one as nice. It turns heads and gets waves on a daily basis.

Ok, so now that your drooling, here's the less great stuff. There are a few small spots where the paint is starting to bubble a bit. Mind you this is a 1988 and finding one without major rust damage is becoming very difficult. This sammy is sound with zero structural issues or frame rust problems. Drips a few drops of oil when parked for several days and smokes a bit on cold starts (it's an old school diesel). Lets see......The springs are stock and well, it's a SPOA sammy with 5 inches of lift. Get going 60+ on winding road and it can get squirrelly. It can drive anywhere but is more happy on backroads than the interstate. The full size spare is too large for the stock tire carrier. I made an adapter and had it on there for a few months but it rattled the rear door more than I like, so we removed it. Really will need a beefier tire carrier or smaller spare. Other than that, this thing is awesomesauce. Dont miss this one.

Contact me with any questions. Thanks.

It's a hard knock life for a N"urburgring rental car

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

Rental cars get no respect. They're abused, misused and flogged mercilessly as athletes in Rental Car Olympics. And that's just at your everyday airport rental counter. The torture gets extreme for rental cars thrashed around Germany's infamous Nürburgring.
Rent4Ring expects its customers to drive its cars around the 'Ring with enthusiasm and, in some cases, less skill than the pros. Rent4Ring just recently retired its Suzuki Swift Sport from its fleet and shared the car's two-year-plus lifetime highlights.
The little hatchback made more than 2,800 laps of the 'Ring over three seasons amounting to more than 310,000 miles driven by 457 different drivers. "Some were fast, some were slow. Some were nice to the car, a few were frankly awful," says a Rent4Ring rep.

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo

Fri, Oct 27 2023

The 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). Enjoy!

Suzuki calls in 26,000 Daewoo-built Veronas for overheating lights

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Suzuki is recalling yet another Daewoo-built model due to possible problems with the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. This time it covers about 25,899 units of the Suzuki Verona from the 2004 through 2006 model years that need fixing. Like the repair campaign of the Forenza and Reno in May, it's possible for the part to overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire.
According to the Chronology of Principal Events section in the defect notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this recall was actually a direct result of the Forenza/Reno campaign. After finding the problem in those vehicles, General Motors Korea started investigating for more affected models and discovered that the Verona was also at risk. However, the report says that no cases of melting or fires have been found in the Verona.
Obviously, Suzuki will be notifying affected owners and will replace the DRL module free of charge. Scroll down to read the recall request or check out the full defect notice in PDF format, here.
