Suzuki Samarai 1986 Tin Top Clean Car on 2040-cars
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. |

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 ending auto sales in Canada, too
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Suzuki of Japan has reportedly made the decision that almost everyone assumed it would make when it announced it was leaving the US market: when the 2014 model year concludes, it will no longer sell cars in Canada. With six employees overseeing its auto business in Canada and a dealer network that has shrunk to 55 outlets in the country, we can't say we're shocked.
At the time of the US announcement, however, the senior VP of sales and marketing in the automotive division of Suzuki Canada said it would be able to survive on its own because, among other reasons, Canadians prefer smaller, more fuel-efficient cars that fit the company's offerings. Five months later, after some time to think about a 30-percent drop in sales to open up 2013 instead of the 1.4-percent increase in sales that Suzuki Canada posted last year, things have evidently changed.
The Globe and Mail reports that as is in the US, Suzuki's motorcycle, ATV and marine divisions in Canada will remain.
Suzuki calls in 26,000 Daewoo-built Veronas for overheating lights
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Suzuki is recalling yet another Daewoo-built model due to possible problems with the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. This time it covers about 25,899 units of the Suzuki Verona from the 2004 through 2006 model years that need fixing. Like the repair campaign of the Forenza and Reno in May, it's possible for the part to overheat, melt and potentially cause a fire.
According to the Chronology of Principal Events section in the defect notice submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, this recall was actually a direct result of the Forenza/Reno campaign. After finding the problem in those vehicles, General Motors Korea started investigating for more affected models and discovered that the Verona was also at risk. However, the report says that no cases of melting or fires have been found in the Verona.
Obviously, Suzuki will be notifying affected owners and will replace the DRL module free of charge. Scroll down to read the recall request or check out the full defect notice in PDF format, here.
