The car was sent to Road Race Motorsports in LA for conversion.  Some years before, this shop was hired by Suzuki to convert some SX4s for car show display – to check market reaction to a gussied-up hot-rod SX4.  After doing this work for Suzuki, they decided to make some of these for privateers, since they had done the development work on the turbo system, suspension, and body work.  I think they have done at least four cars for customers, mine is the second one they did.  RRM is just great on the service aspect, I would highly recommend contacting the gents there for anything. The body has a custom-made carbon-fiber-look vented hood and front bumper facia.  These parts are light, as is the custom rear bumper facia.  I purchased the rear wing and had them incorporate it into the finished car.  I had them remove the roof rack and paint the black stripe down the roof, clear to the rear bumper.  Suzuki motorcycle mirrors are mounted to the doors.  RRM-designed sill extensions are mounted beneath the door longitudinals.  I put on the rally mudflaps.

Under the hood is the stock SX4 engine with a RRM-developed turbo system, putting out a mild 10-11 psi of boost – but way stronger than the stock engine!  RRM designed the exhaust manifold and the intercooler plumbing.  The exhaust has a high-flow catalyst, and ends in a Magnaflow muffler hung under the rear end.

The suspension is a real strong point here.  I told RRM that I wanted it stiffer, but not a teeth-rattling 200% of the stock rates, but at 115-120% of the spring rate and damping rates of the stock springs and dampers.  They nailed it.  With the addition of a fat rear anti-sway bar, this car handles like a go-cart with suspension.  On a snow-packed road, it is heavenly!  The car has 4 hardly-used snow tires on it. All the rotors have been vented.  I used it as a Winter car only, in the off-season it sat garaged with a battery maintainer on it.

The interior is stock and virtually brand new, with the exception of a NRG Innovations steering wheel and a boost gauge on the left side.  The red button on the left side of the steering column is the horn.  It has always been garaged.  I have mounted an Odessey 12v battery under the passenger seat.    The car has 28600K miles on it. The air conditioning was removed to save weight since this was a winter car, but I have all the parts needed to put it back.
