Suzuki Jimny??
« on: August 08, 2007, 05:05:35 PM »
I was just looking around on E-bay and somehow found this site:
http://www.0123go.com/stock/detail.php?Buying_Manage_No=GT07060291&srh_type=0&#detail

This little truck looks like it shares alot with the Trackers/Sidekicks, but looks waaaayyyy different. It has a 660cc turbocharged engine. It would get awesome gas mileage and it has A/C, PS, 4WD, and airbags. What (if anything) do yall know about them??

I believe the 660 Turbo is a Japan/Asian model only. Most of them are a develeopment of the 1.3 Samurai engine with either SOHC or DOHC, newest models ae VVT. There is also a 1.5? diesel model. Physical size is similar to a Track/Kick, drive train is all different with coil sprung live axles and vacuum operated FWHs.

i'd get rid of my tracker in a second if the monkeys at suzuki would give us a jimny in the states.  if i could get a diesel, i might throw in a kidney, also. they could even resurrect the samurai name

Yeah A diesel would be pimpin'. I just wondered how one would get it to be legal in TN? I could swap something from a Tracker onto it, swap over the VIN number, and title it as a kit??

I've seen them in the BVI (British Virgin Islands).

I'm pretty sure Canada never got them.

I've never seen one in Canada, and I've lived here the last 18 years.

Pretty sure the Canuks don't have them or I would have gotten a grey market unit already. If I make it out to England next year for a study abroad I'll send pics of matching Capicino and Jimny.  8) Also check out   http://www.carmag.co.jp/apio/JImigi.html make sure to google it so they will translate the japanees for you.    NMc
