Signal Mountain, Tennessee, United States

Purchased 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.

It's a hard knock life for a N"urburgring rental car

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

Rental cars get no respect. They're abused, misused and flogged mercilessly as athletes in Rental Car Olympics. And that's just at your everyday airport rental counter. The torture gets extreme for rental cars thrashed around Germany's infamous Nürburgring.
Rent4Ring expects its customers to drive its cars around the 'Ring with enthusiasm and, in some cases, less skill than the pros. Rent4Ring just recently retired its Suzuki Swift Sport from its fleet and shared the car's two-year-plus lifetime highlights.
The little hatchback made more than 2,800 laps of the 'Ring over three seasons amounting to more than 310,000 miles driven by 457 different drivers. "Some were fast, some were slow. Some were nice to the car, a few were frankly awful," says a Rent4Ring rep.

Suzuki bringing compact iV-4 to Frankfurt

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Even though American Suzuki Motor Corporation filed for bankruptcy last year and stopped selling cars in the US and Canada as part of its reorganization, there are still plenty of countries around the world where Suzuki continues to sell autos. For those markets, the automaker is working on a compact sport-utility vehicle, called the iV-4, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Suzuki says the iV-4 "embodies the basic ruggedness of an SUV," and that its styling is modern and innovative. We'll have to take Suzuki's word on that one, though the teaser above certainly looks the part, with the grille reminding us of the one found on the Jeep Grand Cherokee (minus a few slats, of course).
Scroll down for the short-and-sweet press release, and expect the full brace of information to be revealed in September.

Suzuki reopens India plant post-riot with police outnumbering workers

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Suzuki'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.
