1988 Suzuki Samurai Turbo Diesel 4x4 manual 5 speed
This is our second Samurai we've had they are blast to drive. We bought this one last year and tow barred it from Georgia here to Michigan Its been a great little vehicle this past year. My husband has driven it to work everyday which is 40 mile round trip. The only problem it had is that the wipers didn't work but we just bought one here on eBay he just hasn't installed it. He did put on a new door handle, but other than that it's been great. The fuel mileage is excellent he said at least 30 mpg which is better mileage the the gas engine we had. We love this little truck but husband is selling this and his ford truck to buy a vintage truck. The engine is from a mid 80's Volkswagon Jetta. We did not put it in but previous owner said it came out of his buddys wrecked Jetta . The owner said that he put in the hobbs meter which reads somewhere over 300 hours I don't know that that tells a story. It has a mechanical injector pump. Husband put a cold air intake in it it helps the turbo breathe and supposed to boost mpg. It has dual batteries and a new glow plug relay and fuel cutoff solenoid. We just got the hard top it has the rear hatch door on it much better for our Michigan wintertime. Two people can easily remove and put it on its not that heavy. The soft top is in pretty good shape it has some loose stitching in one of the corners. Big difference in the way the two look on it. The body is solid, the paint is poor, the tub and under carriage has been rhino lined. The doors are easily removable. We put on Rock Sliders and a Brush guard. There is a dent in the center if the tailgate, It has the Rocky Road Outfitters suspension and adapter kit so that lifts it 4 inches. There are 4 inch lift shackles on the front. It has a soft type ride to it. The previous owner did a good job on the conversion. The brand of matching tires is Buckshot Maxxis Mudders the size is 30 x 9 50 R 15. They have about 5,000 miles on them. We did get a spare for it I don't know size or brand, but its a spare. It has a mechanical injector pump Its a manual 5 speed and shifts perfect. The transfer case shifts perfectly 4x4 works perfectfly shift nicely and smooth. manual lockout hubs. Top speed is about 55 because of stock gearing. So its not a freeway flyer but will get you where you're going. It got all the perfect characteristics of a Sammi only with a Vw Turbo diesel engine.

Suzuki Jimny transforms into an adorable tiny Ford Bronco
Tue, Jan 7 2020The Suzuki Jimny may be impossibly cute as-is, but there's also something about the baby SUV that begs to be dressed up to look like other vehicles. Suzuki has decked out the Jimny in Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen kit, a theme the aftermarket did one better, creating a mini G63 AMG. Now, Japanese tuner Dream Automotive Design and Development (DAMD) has unveiled a body kit that gives the diminutive off-roader the appearance of a vintage Ford Bronco – called, cheekily enough, the DAMD Dronco. The retro baby-blue exterior is set off by a white roof, white steel bumpers, and white steel wheels. A new headlights-and-grille unit gives the Jimny a Ford family face, and a roof ladder at the rear completes the picture. The Dronco joins the company's other Jimny efforts, the vintage Land Rover Defender-inspired Little D and the baby G-Wagen Little G. We can't wait to see what the chameleon-like SUV turns up as next.

Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]
Thu, 08 May 2014Ugly Moto is a horrible name for a company that makes such wonderful motorcycle art. The creation of artist Francis Ooi, the company's illustrations focus on some of the iconic racing bikes of the 1960s and 1970s.
The artwork has an elegant simplicity that really makes it pop. It would fit just about anywhere from a home office to the bedroom of a young gearhead. Ooi has completed six illustrations so far covering classic cycles from Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and even Harley-Davidson. According to his site, the Suzuki RGB500 ridden by Barry Sheene will be the next one released. All of the prints are priced at $65 and are limited to 100 copies. They are all about 16.53 inches by 23.58 inches in size.
According to his website, these prints are just a hobby for Ooi and his real career is as the creative director at an ad agency. He creates the illustrations on his Mac, and he estimates that each design with about 800 components and layers takes about a month to complete. You can get idea of the process involved in the time-lapse video below.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
