-signed up on a suzuki forum but not good for classifieds is it is a national one.
-google turned up too many aftermarket pieces and one crappy forum.
-aftermarket4x4.com is my best option with info and for sale section.
i appreciate the concern but ive tried most of what you suggested, and supprisingly a good amount of members on here currently own a sami or at one point have.
im really looking for someone to point me in the right direction to pick one of these up, as well as average gas mileage as it will be a beater, pros/cons of the 1.3L. Miles on a stock motor before it needs a rebuild, FI or carb? etc etc
once again, any reply will help
the stock 1.3 is carbed. go fuel injected if you can, namely the 16V motor... HUGE difference. mine had the 16V, a 6.1 ratio t case, and 31's on it and i think i got about 16-17 miles to the gallon with a tope speed of ABOUT 80, depending on conditions, which is awesome in a sami
you don't have to go FI. i know people with the stock motor and they are running just fine and performing likewise
