1988 Suzuki Samurai 4.3 V6 Vortec Injection on 2040-cars
Grand Junction, Colorado, United States
We have a 1988 Suzuki Samurai freshly restored and modified up for auction. We started with a clean rust free Colorado truck, then stripped the body and frame down. Starting with the chassis it was modified to accept a fuel injected GM 4.3 Votec engine and 200R4 transmission. The engine was pulled from a low mileage (under 60,000) 2002 Chevy Blazer. We cleaned and inspected the engine before replacing the camshaft to a mild upgrade from Comp Cams. We replaced the water pump and thermostat and replaced the pulleys with polished aluminum ones. The headers are custom built to fit the small chassis and clear the steering linkage. We built a custom cold air intake that pulls from the vents on the side of the hood, it is baffled to keep out hot engine bay air. The radiator is an aluminium unit from Griffin Radiators and runs an electric fan that runs off a thermostat. The transmission is a GM 200R4 that was completely rebuilt including a new torque converter. We used the factory Samurai transfer case after having it cleaned and inspected. The axles were reconditioned with all new bearings, seals, brakes and hardware. We lifted the truck using custom Alcan leaf springs and Rocky Road Outfitter heavy duty shackles. Bringing the total lift over 9 inches. The exhaust is custom built with bungs for O2 sensors and uses a high quality muffler to keep things quiet. We replaced the fuel tank with an extra capacity heavy duty unit from Low Range Off Road. It includes a high volume fuel injection pump and heavy skid plate for protection. We are running BFG Mud Terrain A/T 33/10.5R15 with Mickey Thompson Wheels. The Exterior of this Samurai has been completely restored as well with new white paint inside and out. The floor of the body was bed lined top and bottom for extra protection. The front bumper was replaced with a Warn winch bumper, including a Warn M8000 winch. The rear bumper is a custom unit from Rocky Road Outfitters ready for a spare tire and High Lift jack. The Top is a new from best top. The seats are custom order from Corbeau Seats and ready for your choice of restraints. Shifting is done through a Lokar shifter with led indicator. The transfer case shifter is original but modified and relocated in the body. All gauges are original clean and work accurately. The glass has all been replaced including the windshield and door glass. The door and quarter panel trim is custom from Low Range Off Road as well as window cranks and hardware. A new Kenwood Stereo and Speakers were installed that is blue tooth, I pod and satellite ready. Overall this is one of the cleanest updated Suzuki Samurai's you'll find. This is a vehicle you can jump in, start right up and enjoy driving without worries. Its like driving a new vehicle.

Suzuki reopens India plant post-riot with police outnumbering workers
Fri, 24 Aug 2012Suzuki's plant in Manesar, India builds cars for Australia, specifically its Alto small car. Or at least they were building cars before violent worker riots forced the factory to close. The plant has been idled for five weeks as a result of worker violence that led to the death of one manager and 95 injuries. The riot was spurred over a labor dispute - specifically, a gulf in salaries between temporary workers and their salaried counterparts who earn triple the contract workers' wages.
According to reports, on Tuesday, the factory re-opened with more than 1,200 police officers stationed around the plant. The staff of actual workers at the plant numbers just 75 currently, meaning the police force greatly outnumbers Suzuki employees.
The number of employees will eventually grow to 300, and the officers will run in shifts of 100 at a time, but the initial disparity of workers to police is meant as a show of force to the more than 500 permanent and 500 temporary workers who were found to be involved in a July 18 riot.
Suzuki Vitara shows its face ahead of Paris debut
Thu, 28 Aug 2014The death of Suzuki's American automotive operations can be chalked up to many, many things. One thing it cannot be blamed on, however, is the arguable goodness of its products. The company's criminally underrated offerings included the Kizashi sedan, the SX4 compact and your author's personal favorite, the Grand Vitara.
The GV rode on a radically different version of General Motors' Theta platform, which underpins the American manufacturer's current crop of crossovers, like the Chevrolet Equinox. What made the Grand Vitara special, though, was that it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill CUV. Buying the cheapest model meant living with rear-wheel drive rather than the Theta's typical front drive. Spend a bit of money, though, and you'd end up with an honest-to-goodness off-roader, sporting selectable four-wheel drive complete with low-range gearbox. It also comfortably sat five, was reasonably efficient and was quite handsome. We aren't totally sure how it turned into this.
This, of course, being the new Vitara (it replaces the Escudo, the vehicle Americans know as the Grand Vitara), and it will make its global debut at October's Paris Motor Show, which has ditched its four-wheel-drive system for a part-time all-wheel-drive system called Allgrip.
Four seniors to drive around world in pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs for charity
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Plenty of us here at Autoblog have designs for epic drives. Whether it's bouncing around the country in an old International or heading from Alaska to Chile on a bike, we like to think we have big aspirations. Or at least we did until we heard about these four gentlemen. You see, Leslie George Carvall, Alan Butler, Glyn Maher and Charles Scott are all in their 70's, and they plan to pile into a pair of Suzuki Jimny SUVs and drive around the world. Sort of makes a hike across country seem like a trip down the block to the local corner store. They're calling it "The Ultimate Challenge," and they plan to undertake the journey for two reasons.
First, they want to prove that age shouldn't stand in the way of people doing what they want to do. Second, the group hopes to raise funds for the 'Heaven Can Wait I'm Busy' group, which aims to direct money toward worthy charities both in the UK and around the world. Save the Children and Oakhaven Hospice are the two currently designated charities.
The trip gets started in just three days, and you can head over to the effort's site to track their progress. The route should cover some 16,500 road miles and 10,375 sea miles. You can also catch up with the project on Facebook.
