Since I just started working on my Wing again I can show what else i like to spend all my money on. I have a thing for small cars, especially Suzuki.
First off its my daily driver, the Jimny. Done alot with it, bigger engine, lift kit, recaro interior, wheels. Waiting on a crawler transerbox now
And my other little toy, an -87 Carry imported from Japan! with a 550cc 3 cylinder engine, smaller than the Goldwing

Re: Moneypits
Love your other money pits.. that is a very nice looking suzuki.
The older suzuki's are very popular around here for woods buggies. Back yard lift kits, big tires, snorkels and away they go.
We used to have an importer that was bringing in the micro trucks from Japan. I tried very hard to convince the wife she needed one but wasn't successful.
I actually wanted one of the vans but those are scarce.

Re: Moneypits
It went from the 1.3 G16BB to the 1.6 G16B, just a thad more horsepower.. 84 to 97hp. But the increase in torque is what i'm after. No need for 4th gear on small climbs anymore, stay in 5th.wingrider wrote:How much of a bigger engine? V-8?MadsV wrote:...snip.....

There’s a Suzuki contingent that rock crawls around here. My buddy has one with the 1.6L “big block”. I think my Westfalia has more power...
