 Time has come to sell my 98 Z28 Camaro, I've had the car over 10 years now. Purchased out of Florida from an older gentlemen with 99k miles. So you can see the car has averaged 2400 miles a year.Although i doubt i've put 5k miles on in the last 5 years. Would love to keep but a new addition to the family comes the need for more space.


H/C/I car with a truck manifold front mount turbo. Have about 800 miles on turbo build just making sure any bugs were worked out before final tune. Car has a decent base street tune with HP tuners (2 bar SD), conservitive 4lbs at 13 degrees timing. Never made it to a dyno (not alot of tuners to choose from here in Utah)
Car made 400+ All motor so it should be fairly stout with boost. 

Motor is a stock internal LS1 with ARP rod bolts, 123000 miles. Checked compression when i started the turbo build last winter and 6 were 180+ and the other 2 were 177 and 176.

Manifolds have been coated as well
2.5" hotside coated and DEI titanium wrapped
76mm ON3 turbo w/96 AR with lava blanket
ON3 50mm BOV
44 mm wastegate with 4# spring (also have a 10#)

AEM Failsafe Wideband- super cool product http://aemelectronics.com/?q=product...failsafe-gauge

VFN 3" SS hood
Sitting on custom cut 17" Centerline wheels with Toyo Proxes tires
275 rear and 245 front.

 
New interior right before turbo build, was originally a tan leather car now its ebony, no rips or tears. Dash was nice until i got it back from the interior shop that did the headliner, now its cracked.
Exterior is in really good condition, (i think for the year) always garage kept, typical chips and whatnot from driving, no dents or big dings. Has a couple spots where the last owner tried touching up some chips that don't match .

Now time for what needs done,
Obviously a final tune- I have HP Tuners Pro w/4 credits i'll include for the right price. Used the other 4 on this car
Pinion angle needs adjusting, has a slight vibration at freeway after the i installed the lowering springs.
Pinion seal and output shaft seal leak after driving awhile i'd assume from the vibration wobbling the seals
Car has no power steering currently,I have all the parts just removed it. It need new lines, i was going to do this but the rack had a leak and torn boot so i didn't want power steering fluid spewing all over the hotside.

I would clean up the engine bay a little, clean up and loom the power wires, fab a battery hold down, etc.

UPDATE 9-19. Forgot to mention the rear end may need a new clutch disk pack, doesn't spin both tires all the time. also i just pulled plugs to check them over and two of the drivers plugs were a little wet so i think the valve guide seals are wearing, car has NO smoke on start up or under acceleration.

And here is a short idle vid.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi SE

Sun, Aug 29 2021

American Suzuki Motor Corporation filed for bankruptcy in 2012, and new Suzuki-badged cars stopped being sold here the following year (meanwhile, Suzuki went on to create one of the biggest-selling cars in its home market). While many of the United States-market Suzukis of the previous decade had been Daewoos beneath the emblems, the Kizashi sedan was designed and manufactured entirely by Suzuki. There were high hopes – at first – that it would revive the brand's American fortunes. Here's a first-model-year example, found in a San Francsico Bay Area self-service yard a few months back. The word Kizashi means "something great is coming" in Japanese, but the Great Recession and the decreasing popularity of non-truck-shaped new vehicles in the United States kept sales of these cars low (even as Monster Tajima broke the ten-minute barrier in a Suzuki at Pikes Peak). You could buy a new Kizashi here until American Suzuki folded its tent and left in 2013, leaving just two-wheeled Suzukis available here for highway use. That was unfortunate because the Kizashi provided a lot of value for the price. This Kizashi SE had an MSRP starting at $21,499 (about $27,085 in 2021 dollars), and it had a pleasant interior and a bunch of unexpected standard features. You got keyless ignition, power seats with memory, 17" alloy wheels and a pretty decent seven-speaker audio system with USB and Bluetooth inputs (both of which were still uncommon in lower-priced cars at the time). If you upgraded to the GTS or SLS trim levels ($22,499 and $24,399, respectively), you got goodies including a thumping 10-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system, a power sunroof and 18-inch wheels. But unless you were selling Hayabusas or KingQuads, 2010 wasn't a great time to have a Suzuki sign in front of your American showroom. The days of Geo- and Chevrolet-badged Suzukis roaming every American road ended with the Metro and Tracker; by the end, only the Kizashi, SX4 and Grand Vitara remained here. It appears that a Ford dealership in Pennsylvania sold this car at some point prior to its migration west. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder made 185 horsepower, better than its four-cylinder Mazda6 and Altima rivals. Smaller-displacement versions of the J24B engine went into the Aerio, Esteem, Sidekick, Tracker, and Vitara; the Grand Vitara got the 2.4. A six-speed manual transmission was available in the Kizashi's other trim levels, but SE buyers had to take the CVT. This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.

Here's the new Suzuki Jimny in official photos

Mon, Jun 18 2018

Finally! The new generation Suzuki Jimny has been officially revealed, ready to replace the old model built since 1998. Or rather, Suzuki has at least l aunched a microsite dedicated to the small SUV's latest iteration, complete with color palette. The signature Kinetic Yellow launch color gets a similarly noticeable Brisk Blue alternative; the rest of the colors are more muted. Previously, photos of undisguised Jimnys had started coming out of the woodwork. Now we can have an official look at the neatly designed little Suzuki. It's not retro, but completely functional; these shots also show the fender flares missing from the JDM cars. When it comes to vehicles this small, the Jimny might be the boxiest thing produced since the original Fiat Panda ceased to be made in 2003. The rear hatch is the width of the entire rear, making cargo loading easy — the only hindrance we can see is that even on a left-hand-drive vehicle, the hinges are on the right, complicating things a little when one is street-parked. The interior has also survived transition into production quite nicely, with the big infotainment screen placed as high on the dash as possible. The materials on the dash look hard-wearing even in the official render, and the switchgear looks like it can be handled with gloves on. Engine specifications have not yet been announced on Suzuki's site at the time of writing, with the only technical photo a shot of the longitudinal engine perched on the ladder frame, accompanied by a mention of a three-link rigid axle suspension and part-time 4WD complete with low range. There are rumors of optional hybrid tech. Suzuki also says 2.85 million Jimnys have been sold through March 2018: If the pricing (about $18,500 for the old model in Europe) remains affordable, that number is sure to rise nicely.
