My latest Suzuki Alto - 660cc 4wd turbo

[gilly]

I brought this home a couple of weeks ago after spending a fair bit of time and money on it getting it running. It hadnt been started for 2 years so it took a bit of work to get it running.

Once we got it running though, runs quite nice! The sound of the pod filter is amazing! Has electric windows, air con, power steering - all the luxury items!

My plan was to get it registered, and then either sell this one or my white one - but after some initial enquiries it looks like I wont be able to get it re-complied (given that its a 91 model, and there are no RAWS that offer compliance on this type of car). I am pretty certain it wasnt a personal import, as it doesnt have a yellow plate.

It has previously been registered in SA, but after being defected it hasnt been registered since (2 years ago). I am thinking I might make some enquiries with Transport SA, and see what info I can find out about the car.

Anyway, heres some photos:

And yes I still own my other Alto - thats still sitting in the shed awaiting a gearbox transplant. This is it here: http://ozvr4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=538

Haha i love the rear view shot next to the VR-4 - the Alto looks so small compared.

What's the 0-100 on it? :bigsmile:

Your obsession with these little cars is amusing Simon
- Sidetrack - you coming to the cruise on Sunday?

 

[Tom]

Haha looks like itd be a little go kart

that you can pack in to your legnum and take to an actual go kart track hehe

 

[ygoslo]

HELL YES! Awesome.

Slam it on 13" Superlights with bolt on flares and you have one of my dream cars.

It makes the legnum look huge

I bags the White Suzuki Alto Works

 

[gilly]

both will be for sale soon Gav!
I just got engaged, and were looking at buying a house soon, so the fiance has told me its all gotta go! (not the legnum, she wont let me sell that!).

Lee, wont be at the cruise sunday. Still just dont have time for anything, or the funds to go driving.

The black Alto would make a perfect track car - it cant be registered, but being 4WD makes it very useful on the track. It will be for sale for around $2500.
The FWD white alto is getting a new gearbox in the coming weeks and will be back on the road very soon. Looking for offers above $4500.

I will post official for sale threads when they are both ready for sale.

Someone buy it and convert it to RWD. There would not be a more fun (or funny) drift car in Australia!

 

[gilly]

thats actually been done before! apparantly its not that hard.

 

[ygoslo]

Yeah there are some great pics of Subaru Rexes (no, not WRXs) drifting at last year's "Tokyo Drift" D1 round. Looks like huge fun!

Just found this thread. I'm in love Gilly!! If only the business wasn't struggling I'd buy the RSR in a flash. So you say it has been previously registered? Surely it could be re registered and not required any sort of sev's compliance. Be a great little runaround car for my business.:bigsmile:

 

[Tom]

Damn it if you could register the black one that'd be so fun I'd be tempted haha

 

[gilly]

the black one has been registered before, but possibly not as a suzuki alto. I think it was registered as a swift, so may not have even had compliance done on it. So looks like stictly a track car.
