from Extreme Zuks in Florida for $6700, and have installed high torque engine by
Extreme Zuks Off Road $2400. (1.3 Flat
top pistons, .040 over, new Weber Carb, new rebuilt transmission, new clutch,
new front end seals in the bearings and new bearings in the rear axles,-the car
is driven by my son and we live on a mountain and we wanted higher torque and
hp for driving up and down Signal Mountain TN).
Installed uphostered seats that are
covered in nice black cloth(seat covers have been on since we did the seats) recovered
and installed rear seat. New Carpet/ Paint is less than a year old. Installed
custom headliner with insulation to reduce heat in the summer, this really
looks good in a tin top. Has the customer shifter knobs on both shifters from Low Range Off-Road. Window cranks, door glass rubbers, and inside
and outside handles are new. Installed the windshield wiper blade support
plates as a preventative measure since these are a stress point, while doing
that we installed a new wiper motor behind the dash and insulated and re-taped
to factory specs all the AC hoses and connecting pipes inside the dash. New Radiator and Hoses. Heater works great(Heater Core and Dash
removed and cleaned, all dash lights work and tac works great from Extreme Zuks
Off road. Exhaust Header from Extreme Zuks.
Samurai has a great sound system by Pioneer that has 6 speakers and is
wired for and additional amp/subs for the back, the sound system sounds great. Installed factory AC on this car and it works
great, blows very cold air and we live where it gets near 100 in the summer and
it provides good AC. Rims have just been powder coated white to original color. New Hankook Optimo tires with less than 1000
miles on them. New brakes and rotors have less than 2000 miles on front and
back. He has recently gone to college
and has put most of his money into another daily driver Sammy and needs the
money. This will be a great vehicle for some lucky person, its eye appeal
is unmatched. This car has 2 defects
that have not been fixed, there is a small dash crack above the digital clock
installed in the dash, and there is a slight and I mean slight leak on the rear
transfer case back seal, I have only added about a half a pint in the last year
it was ran and I have the seal I have just not replaced it as it has not been
an issue. I have always used 50/50 Lucas Oil additive and differential lube in the transmission, transfer case, and front and
rear differentials/pumpkin, and have changed this every 6 months since we had
the car, change oil one a month, I do this on all 3 of my Samarai's I have had. This
will be a great vehicle for some lucky person, its eye appeal is unmatched, it
would make for a great car for a daily driver, it gets about 25-32 miles per
gallon and has passed all emissions testing in TN which is a tough place to
pass. New Catalytic converter and
exhaust system with muffler installed also. |

Suzuki and VW finalize their divorce
Thu, Feb 11 2016The rocky divorce between Suzuki and Volkswagen is finally over after working its way through the International Court of Arbitration since 2011, according to the Japan Times. In the final settlement to end the companies' disputes, Suzuki agreed to pay VW an undisclosed amount for not living up to the agreement to use the German automaker's diesel engines. While they won't disclose the exact sum, Suzuki said in a statement that the money "will not have any significant impact" on its 2015 fiscal year results, which will end in March. The arbitration court took the biggest step to end this transcontinental partnership in August 2015 when the body ruled VW needed sell its 19.9-percent stake in Suzuki. However, the Japanese company wasn't entirely off the hook because VW was still allowed to sue for damages over the diesel engine issue. This latest decision finally clears up that dispute. Like most marriages, the union between VW and Suzuki began with stars in both parties' eyes. The Germans paid $2.8 billion to buy 19.9 percent of the Japanese company in December 2009. VW was supposed to get greater access to the auto market in India, and Suzuki hoped to capitalize on access to its partner's advanced technology. By 2011, rumors started percolating that things were contentious behind closed doors. VW allegedly tried to assert control over Suzuki's operations, and the Japanese company reportedly wasn't happy with its access to the German tech. Suzuki even bought diesel engines from Fiat, rather than VW. Later that year, company CEO Osamu Suzuki announced he would end the alliance, and they started working through arbitration. Notification Concerning Resolution of Arbitration by Settlement As Suzuki has reached a settlement regarding the arbitration that Suzuki filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on 24 November 2011, Suzuki informs you of the following: 1. History from the Request for Arbitration to the Settlement As announced in the "Notification Concerning Arbitration Award" dated 30 August 2015, the Tribunal indicated that it would address the issue of alleged damages arising from Suzuki's breach of the agreement claimed by Volkswagen AG ("VW") in a further stage of the arbitration proceedings. Suzuki reached a settlement with VW in regard to such arbitration proceedings on 10 February 2016. Accordingly, the arbitration proceedings have been concluded. 2.
Are orphan cars better deals?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News.
