It's time to part with my 1987 Suzuki Samurai JX. This is a very nice purpose built rig which call also be daily driven. These Samurai's are getting tough to find in good non-abused condition. Many folks are also buying these up as a cheaper street legal alternative to a side-by-side UTV. This Samurai has been tastefully modified with the best aftermarket Suzuki parts including:   -Doetsch Tech Shocks Front and Rear -Trail Tough Bonz-eye Front leaf springs with missing links -Rancho Rear leaf springs  -Trail Tough Mighty Kong 4.9:1 gears -Trail Tough 2-Lo gear kit -Trail Tough drive line spacer -Trail Tough SJ410 backing plate -Trail Tough Front steering stabilizer -Trail Tough Unbreakable transmission mount -Trail Tough Unbreakable motor mounts -Trail Tough solid transfer case mount -Trail Tough rear disconnect for towing -Trail Tough ford front shock towers -Lock Rite front locker -Rear mini spool(new in box) - 1 1/4 wheel spacers -BFG Mud Terrain tires 31x10.5 -15 inch steel "rock crawler wheels" -Bushwacker fender flares -Sky Offroad crossover steering kit -Sky Offroad Axle Truss -Sky Offroad wiper brace kit -Zuks Offroad My-Side 2CV carb kit with intake and 44mm Harley Davidson Screamin Eagle carb -Dodge Neon Front seats(very comfortable and are a perfect fit) -Onboard air compressor -3,000  pound winch with custom receiver mount -CD player/speakers/amp -CB -Custom made front bumper -Custom made rear bumper with rear tire swing-out/shovel mount/jerry can holder -Custom rock sliders  -Hi-lift Jack mount behind rear seat(jack included) -Fire extinguisher mount behind rear seat(extinguisher also included) -Powder coated valve cover and intake -K&N air filter -Free flow exhaust with high flow muffler -Custom storage box under jack(in the engine bay) -Rampage soft top -LED rock lights in the front wheel wells -Modified Door hinges for easy removal(jeep style) I think that's the majority of upgrades, but I could be forgetting some things. The Samurai runs great, shifts smoothly and gets tons of attention anywhere it goes.  Always garage kept.  Feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like any additional pictures. I also have a couple of videos I can send via email of it running if you'd like. The odometer just rolled over 70,000 miles, and I'm inclined to believe that is accurate, however if you know these rigs then you know that there is no sitxth digit on the odometer so the mileage could be more. It does not burn any oil between changes which were done every 3,000 miles. The mileage may also increase slightly as I continue to drive it occasionally around town. I also have boxes of additional parts(many new in box) and also original take off parts should the winning bidder be willing to pick up in person or pay for shipping separately. This also includes a bikini top , additional soft top, and tow bar. I will not ship the Samurai but, I will make it available for pickup or shipping that you arrange and pay for. Remember, you can tow it home if you choose. I'm an honest ebayer that does his best to describe all items to the best of my abililty.  I am not a business. I am an individual so my feedback is important to me.  I want the new owner to be completely satisfied with this rig. I don't think you will be disappointed. I have a clean and clear Oregon title in hand. (The title will be mailed via certified mail or handed over in person once funds have cleared or cash is in my hand) NO warranty expressed or implied.  All sales final. Down payment of 500.00 due immediately upon placing the winning bid.  PayPal is to only be used for the deposit; the balance is to be paid by Cashiers check or cash only. Please ask all questions prior to bidding and please do not bid if you do not intend to follow through with the purchase. Good luck and Happy Bidding.

Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]

Thu, 08 May 2014

Ugly 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.

Toyota, Daihatsu and Suzuki team up to unbox some fun-size electric kei vans

Thu, May 18 2023

The G7 Summit is happening in Hiroshima, Japan, right now and some automakers have taken the opportunity to announce new projects. Toyota, their wholly owned subsidiary Daihatsu, and Suzuki (of which Toyota owns about 5%) made news with a trio of electric micro-vans built to kei car specifications. The battery-electric vans are part of an industry-wide push toward carbon neutrality. Kei-class vehicles, in addition to limited displacement gasoline engines, have strict dimensional restrictions that allow them to navigate the often narrow streets in dense urban areas. They're also privilege to certain tax breaks and parking benefits.  [gallery ids="2474953,2474954"] The engine size rules obviously don't apply to the electric vans, but they will still conform to the size boundaries. Kei vans are often used to solve the "last mile" problem in logistics since they're able to whiz around crowded streets inaccessible by larger commercial vehicles.  Daihatsu, which specializes in kei cars, will build the vans and name their variant the HiJet Cargo. The HiJet name has been a consistent one in the company's lineup since 1960, but these new versions will be front-wheel-drive in contrast to the rear-wheel-drive gasoline variants. Toyota's version will be called the Pixis Van, while Suzuki will be named the Every, a nameplate that's been around since 1982. Aside from the badges the vans appear identical. Range is said to be approximately 200km (124 miles) on a single charge.  The exhibition was held in conjunction with the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, which former Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda heads. Toyoda stepped down from the top position at the company his grandfather founded in April, but still takes a overseer role as Chairman. Toyoda was criticized for being slow to adopt EVs, and new CEO Koji Sato has emphasized the role of battery-electrics moving forward while still taking a multi-front approach to carbon neutrality with hydrogen and hybrids. These vans were likely in development before Toyoda's retirement, though.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
