Nice pics, was the whole event indoors?

 

Really beautiful car!! Well done!

 

Yes sir.

Thanks!

 

No real new updates to share (been focusing on new daily driver since I bougt it) but I finally went ahead and created an Imgur account so here are a few random pics I uploaded that I haven't shared on here yet. As it sits, the SRT-6 has a dead battery, a busted up front lip and a cracked fender (thanks to hitting unmarked roadwork back in November) and hasn't moved in months. I'll get around to bringing it back up to snuff soon hopefully. Until, enjoy these pics from last fall.

I owned a 1993 Suzuki Swift GT for 20+ years (bought it new for just over 11k). Quite a "pocket rocket" back in the day. 1.3 Liter, dohc, 16v motor with a close-ratio 5-speed. 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.

 

Looks awesome, do you have 2 now?

 

No - it's the same car. Had a minor fender-bender and had the car re-painted a metallic gray (Buick color if I remember) when the repairs were made. Took me about 6 weeks to locate the parts and have the parts drop-shipped to the body shop I've used here for over 20 years.

 

I still can't get over how awesome your SRT-6 looks. Truly a unique-looking and professionally executed customization. I really like the shock-tower brace you've got installed. Where did you get it? I can't quite read the label on it.

 

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


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.

 

Sometime in the 90s I bought a new Suzuki Swift GT, it was a really fun car, ran pretty good and was glued to the road, and it was red.

 

Josh, Pictures look great! Car looks amazing and the engine bay looks incredible with the addition of the Strut Bar. Hope to see it in Carlisle again this year.

BTW. The Strut Bar I ordered finally arrived yesterday. Thanks for the info.
