Looking for the nicest Samurai that you could find? You just found it!! In many ways this Samurai is better now than when it was new...better, more powerful engine; better brakes; better tires; better transmission and transfer case shift lever urethane bushings; better clutch; better soft top; better stereo; better seats. This Samurai comes with the premium Rampage black soft top with tinted limo windows. As an option, this soft top can be replaced with a new black Rally insulated one piece hard top (as shown on yellow Samurai). This Samurai has a clean, current Iowa title and is titled under Rod's Auto Sales (previously titled in Georgia). We have run a Car Fax that shows this SUV as never being wrecked. Rod's Auto Sales (also known as SamuraiSalvage)(Google to find our website), is offering this super nice, restored/reconditioned Samurai. This Samurai has never seen a salty road and is 100% rust free, even under the plastic rocker panels, as shown. It had zero rust before the restoration. We have undercoated the entire under carriage. Restoration included: new original color red paint, new front and rear bumpers and new bumper end caps, new front and rear light assemblies, new windshield and gasket, new rubber door glass seals, new premium Rampage top with limo tint windows, new black spare tire cover. We installed the largest tire possible without installing a lift kit. New 235x75-R15 A/T tires on Suzuki chrome wheels. One of our "featured product" 100 horse high-performance engines (only a few break-in miles). This engine has the factory electronic fuel injection. Originally the engine put out only 66 hp. You can actually achieve interstate speeds in this Samurai. New heavy duty clutch kit. Rebuilt transmission and transfer case. New bearings and brakes in both axles. All fluids changed. Newer exhaust system. Other upgrades include: new transfer case urethane bushing, new transmission locate bolt and bushing, new motor mounts, new transmission mount, new starter relay, new 195 degree thermostat (heat gets nice and hot). Now for the interior: professionally reupholstered seats in two-tone leather, new black carpet set, dash is perfect with new center section and new cubby door, new ashtray, new glovebox door, new steering column surround, new black diamond plate door panels, new rubber clutch, brake and accelerator pads. Everything on this Samurai works, without exception, and is ready to drive for years to come. Suzuki made many upgrade changes for the 1990-1995 Samurai, which include: electronic fuel injection, better wrap around seats that added two inches of legroom, larger outboard swaybar, larger capacity radiator, more compliant leaf springs with teflon inserts, improved dash and steering wheel, lower and more usable fifth gear ratio. The '90-'95 Samurais are by far the most desirable years. We also sell and install towbars, lift kits, winch bumpers, etc. Send us your Samurai for a custom restoration project. Check out some of our restorations at Facebook/SamuraiSalvage. We also sell new and used OEM Suzuki Samurai, Sidekick and Tracker parts. Google samuraisalvage to find our website. Reasonable transport quotes are available to the potential serious buyer and the Samurai can be delivered to your front door. Or we can pick you up at the Des Moines Airport or at the bus depot or train station. Call Rod with questions at 641-751-2468. This Samurai is also for sale locally at our car lot. We reserve the right to end auction early, but once the reserve is met, it will no longer be for sale locally and the high bidder on auction will own this Samurai.

Toyota and Suzuki are looking at an R&D partnership because they admit they're behind
Wed, Oct 12 2016The Chairman of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Osamu Suzuki, and the President of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, have convened at Toyota's Tokyo offices to declare plans to join hands regarding research and development. According to Toyoda, Toyota "hasn't been good at creating alliances," and its partnership with the small carmaker Daihatsu has been the most well-known collaboration so far. Perhaps the comment has a tinge of regret from Toyota and GM's NUMMI days in Fremont, especially as the statement released by Toyota says that "Toyota is conscious of the fact that it may be behind competitors in North America and Europe when it comes to the establishment of standardizations and partnership with other companies." But as different technologies advance at breakneck speed and it is difficult for companies both big and small to stay competitive, let alone ahead of the game, Toyota is accepting the need for collaboration. Toyoda referred to passenger safety, environmental issues, automated driving, and hydrogen technology, all of which are key challenges for any carmaker looking to stay relevant, and all expensive to experiment with. Spreading the cost over more vehicles should help. "We received an offer from Suzuki regarding collaboration possibilities on advanced and future technologies such as in information technology. Suzuki made a frank proposal to us, and in understanding that Toyota is facing the challenges which I had mentioned earlier, we thought that with the relationship between both companies, there is an opportunity for a business partnership to help solve such challenges. As such, we decided to explore such possibilities together," said Toyoda. In the future, Daihatsu will still be Toyota's tool in emerging markets, but now Toyota could have access to Suzuki's small-car know-how. Osamu Suzuki acknowledges that "Suzuki's current business focuses on minivehicles in Japan and India," as Suzuki withdrew from the US and Canada in 2013. A joint effort will help Suzuki remain relevant, and as a manufacturer of predominantly small vehicles it has been focusing on competitive pricing more than cutting edge technology. Related Video:
Japanese motorcycles moving into forced induction
Sat, 30 Nov 2013While turbocharging and supercharging may be nothing new in the automotive industry, motorcycle engines are almost always naturally aspirated. But even that's beginning to change. At the Tokyo Motor Show last week, two major Japanese companies showed off new forced-induction motorbike engines.
Kawasaki rolled in with a supercharged four-cylinder motorbike engine. It offered little in the way of details, disclosing only that the turbine blades were developed in-house to withstand the heat and vibration of spooling up at motorbike speeds.
Suzuki is taking a different approach, however. Its Recursion concept bike packs a turbocharged 588cc two-cylinder engine with a turbocharger and intercooler. The compact package churns out just under 100 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque, packaged into a motorbike that weighs just 384 pounds dry.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
