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.

EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules

Thu, Jan 23 2020

AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Suzuki iV-4 Concept is a personalized 'ute for everyone but US

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

It's with some sadness that we present to you the Suzuki iV-4 Concept - there's absolutely no way we'll ever see a production Suzuki based off this conceptual design in the States, despite the fact that the brand has quite a small-SUV heritage on our shores. Of course, we won't be seeing any new Suzuki passenger cars or trucks in the US at all...
For the rest of the world, Suzuki's push with this concept is personalization. According to the automaker, the name is broken down as such: "i" stands for "individuality," "V" for "vehicle," and "4" for "4 wheel-drive." A tad convoluted, perhaps, but we'll roll with it.
As far as its styling, the iV4 doesn't break any new ground for Suzuki, recalling its past and current production models with details that include a clamshell hood and a five-slot grille. Suzuki promises a production variant of this concept, and the "individuality" part will be accomplished through a selection of exterior components, colors and textures, though we're not clear what exactly that means or how it will differ from the accepted practice of ordering a unique car through a dealership.

Suzuki posts 46% drop in first-quarter profit on slowing India demand

Mon, Aug 5 2019

TOKYO — Suzuki on Monday reported a 46.2% fall in first-quarter operating profit, hurt by lower output at home as it improves its inspection systems, and falling demand in India, its biggest market. Japan's fourth-largest automaker posted an operating profit of 62.7 billion yen (GBP487 million) for the April-June quarter, down from 116.5 billion yen a year earlier and below a mean forecast of 69.09 billion from eight analysts, according to Refinitiv. Suzuki reaffirmed its forecast for full-year operating profit to come in at 330 billion yen, up 1.7% from the year ended March 2019. Suzuki, known for its Swift and Baleno compact models, is bracing for subdued growth this year in India, where roughly one in two cars sold carries its brand. The company stuck to a forecast for vehicle sales to increase slightly on the year, but conceded that it may need to trim its forecasts in the coming months as slowing economic growth and stricter emissions standards could dent sales. Slowing profit growth could hamper its ability to invest in and develop lower-emissions vehicles and on-demand transportation services necessary to survive the technological upheaval currently underway in the global auto industry. The automaker has long acknowledged that it cannot shoulder the costs of developing electric vehicles and self-driving cars on its own, and has turned to Toyota to supply Suzuki vehicles with its gasoline hybrid systems.
