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.

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.

Renault appoints Dacia Logan creator to head its Nano-rival program in India

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

After watching the Tata Nano post sales numbers smaller than its engine displacement, Renault gave up on its much publicized intention to build a truly inexpensive car to rival it. Then, a month ago, reports emerged that Renault was resuming work on a couple of low-priced cars for emerging markets, but this time it would work with its in-house partner, Nissan. That plan envisions an offering for €3,000 ($3,888 US) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 US), both of which would be more spendy than the Nano but might avoid the charge of being cheap - and nasty - and instead be considered affordable.
A report in Reuters talks to the man in charge, Gerard Detourbet, who has been in Chennai, India since at least August working on the program. Detourbet led the Dacia Logan project and is considered "Renault's low-cost car specialist" and "the father of entry-car programs." This one is reportedly codenamed A-Entry and will create a "'sub-entry' architecture" that will provide roominess beyond the vehicle's price and class, and use an engine with a displacement of 800 cubic centimeters.
It isn't aimed at the Nano, though - it means to take on the products that make up 45-50 percent of India's car market, like the Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Eon. According to Reuters, out of the 2.6-million-strong Indian car market the Maruti Suzuki line-up alone nabs one million registrations annually. The Alto 800 begins at 244,000 rupees ($4,440 US), the Eon at 300,000 rupees ($5,559 US), the Chevrolet Spark at about 316,000 ($5,750 US); if Renault can nail its price targets it will just about bracket those three and be right in the game.

Which automaker's 84-year-old CEO is making investors nervous?

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

We haven't heard much about Suzuki since it decided to leave the US market in 2012, but things are going well for the little automaker these days with the recent announcement of record annual profits. It would seem that investors should be ecstatic, but they are starting to question the man at the helm. Company president and chairman Osamu Suzuki is now 84 years old and is guaranteed at least one more year as the leader, but shareholders want to know who is taking his place when the inevitable happens.
We're not being ageist, here. As long as the Suzuki can run the company to the satisfaction of investors, he absolutely deserves the top spot. According to Bloomberg, the issue making shareholders so edgy is that the business doesn't have a transition plan in place. The president obviously isn't a young man, and folks are worried that if something happens suddenly, there could be chaos deciding a successor and a free-falling stock price.
Suzuki's tenure at the company is somewhat astounding. He married the granddaughter of the founder and took her name because the family had no male heirs. In world where many people hope to retire as soon as possible, he's worked for the same automaker for the last 50 years, including stints as company president from 1978 to 2000 and 2008 to the present. Investors aren't questioning the president's ability as a business leader; they just want a clearer understanding of the automaker's future direction.
