Thank you, I appreciate that. Lots of time, money and creativity wrapped up in this car. The strut bar is made by Wiechers Sport.

SSGT came with Recaro, cloth-covered buckets seats from the factory. Car was really quick. And it got 29-30 mpg city / 39-40 highway - the entire time I owned it. Probably the most reliable car I ever owned. I eventually installed a performance, cat-back exhaust, repainted the car & installed new alloy rims with upgraded tires (original tire size was no longer produced).


Here are some pics.

Very cool! I've always felt that Suzuki's were underrated cars. At least here in the US (they're seemingly pretty popular in other countries around the world). The SX4 is by no means fast (2.3L, 143hp, 0-60 in 9.1 seconds...lol) but it's nimble and fun to drive no doubt. I'm going with more of a rally style with it anyways so i'm not really concerned with it being more powerful. As it sits it has an intake and a tune and that's plenty good enough for me considering it's my daily driver.
