"Hey Dude! You recognize me?! Sure not... I"m the internet star of car racing! Well, perhaps a rising star... I go by the name RM. This is my new car project. I just snapped it from a junkyard. For now, it looks like a piece of junk, but we can make it a gem! I mean, you can. But nobody has to know that right? Are you in with this project?! I hope so. I just want you yo check if it starts up before the first episode... And we"ll think about the rest later! Thanks! We"ll see you on Importube!"

"Good morning. We need an expert opinion. I don"t know what happened. I was planning a family vacation for next week. I started the car yesterday and I was trying to turn on the lights and there was nothing. I thought that maybe the lights were fried. But as it turned out, that wasn"t the problem. Soon after, mu car wasn"t reacting to the key at all. I don"t know what happened. Please check what"s the problem. It would be good if the car was fit for a longer trip. And if it were more reliable. At least the marketed it as such. I"m almost sure that all these indicator lights were lighting up properly. Because they"re supposed to light up, right?"

"Hey. I"m Coming to you with a very sentimental task. This Hellcat is the only piece of my Grandma I have. The condition may not be perfect, but I really care about making it into something that would resemble production condition. Grandpa takes great care of it, but he"s showing he"s age, just like this car. He could use a fresh approach to the subject. I want to surprise him. The condition of exploitation elements should be fine, but the rest... The more difficult to access parts have surpassed the capabilities of Grandpa. Please take care of this classic piece for me. See you."

"Hi. I just got back from a business trip, and you won"t guess what was waiting for me. My beautiful car! I hopped in and set off on an evening ride. From the very start, something caught my attention. The car drove better somewhat. After this lengthy introduction, I will explain. It turned out that my son had a little adventure with my car. I"m impressed by his attitude, because he took matters in his own hands. I must admit that the car never drove better than after your repairs. You"re a wizard! Today, I"ve got my son"s car for you. I want to repay him for making my gem give me even more pleasure from driving. The kid couldn"t afford a renovation. Please make the engine reach perfection and give it some spark. The bodywork also needs some love. Pimp this ride and add a bit more horsepower! Let the kid live a little. See you!"

"Hi! I"m Ana "Sharkee". I"m a professional driver. I got my nickname from the aggressive driving style that I represent. As you may have guessed, the costs are irrelevant to me. At least when it comes to motorsport. The mechanic from my team was overwhelmed by the work and took leave overnight, but the cars won"t prepare themselves. Today I"m coming to you with my private gem. I brought it some time ago, as a sentimental piece. I"m a fan of Asian action films. This Sakura Takumi is a synonym of a Japanese classic to me. It"s a quite rare example, but it"s been through enough. I saved it from a junkyard. Now you have to restore it to working conditions. For now, if I manage to return in it on four wheels, I"ll be satisfied. Then I"ll figure out what to do with it. Thanks, and see you!"

"Good Morning. I"d like someone to take a look at my car. I"m not an automotive fan. The car should serve me to move from point A to point B, or to go fishing. I love fishing trips. And that"s one of the reasons for my visit. Most of all, I beg you, please do something with the car seat and couch. I recently had a whole container with fish tip over in the boot. As far as the smell of fish doesn"t bother me, the amount of water damage is driving me mad. Please take a look under the wood while you"re at it. I know nothing about mechanics, but recently when I was making my way through a back road to the lake, some thingmabob fell off. Since then. the car has been swaying strangely. And do something about the back, when I pack up the whole boot, the wheels are pressing against the wheel arches. Mayber they"re underinflated? Do whatever"s in your power! I"ve got a competition soon!"

"Hey, it"s me again, Johnny! Today I have this... Uhm... Sports Sixon for you! Rust isn"t sparing this model, especially when it"s not kept in the garage. It stood between cactuses, so it looks as if drowned. Even though the bodywork is up for complete renovation, the mechanics don"t look bad. The owner was a fireball who drove it like there was no tomorrow and probably heated up the engine. Of course, he didn"t have the time nor the ambition to take care of it and he abandoned it. Please tidy it up, and I think that we"ll manage to sell it as the perfect example. The mileage will not arouse suspicions. I"m waiting for your call. See you!"

"Hey, my name is Jessica, but you can call me Jess. My friend mentioned that you"ve taken great care of her green "Wormy", I figured that perhaps my car needed some more attention too. On a day-by-day basis, I don"t have time to deal with the mechanics, I think that"s clear. For a businesswoman, every minute is at a premium, and wasting time on crawling around in oil and grease... well, that"s not for me. Please do a detailed checkup. The car isn"t old, but I"ll be honest with you - besides refueling and weekly washing, I wasn"t really bothered by anything else. I"ve had it for a couple of years, and I am getting the impression that it used to be spryer. Please do what you can to restore its past performance. Great thanks!"

At the top of the engine starts emptying the coolant reservoir, you will have to remove everything leaving only the engine heads, intake manifold and the exhaust manifold, The parts that need to be changed are obvious.

"Hey, hey, it"s RM! it"s time to film another episode from the renovation of my car! this time, we"ll be taking care of a comprehensive renovation of the suspension. I think it"s a good idea for a long episode! Let"s roll!"

"Good morning. I was a victim of a road accident. My beloved sports Sixon must have been severely damaged. A little crate drove out of a side street, and I didn"t even have the chance to react. It all happened so quickly. All I saw was a cloud of smoke flowing from under the hood. When I walked out of the car, the situation turned out to be manageable. The Bumper was a bit lifted and the headlamp was damaged. In spite of the strange sound from the engine compartment, I figured I"d go back home. Unfortunately, my plan, to say the least, didn"t work. After driving 100m, everything shut down. I think the car battery was damaged because the car didn"t start at all. Check what happened and do what you can to get it up and running. The parts don"t have to be new, all that matters is that they are good - good for the wallet."

"Good morning. I"m here with a discreet matter. During a business trip, I had a little accident. After the meeting, we had a little garden party that transformed into a longer meetup... I was on my way back to the hotel with the guys from work, and I left the car by the pub. I return for the car in early morning. I must have been a bit sleep-deprived and a little disoriented. It so happened that I snagged on a pole at the parking lot... and a boom barrier. And to top it all off, there was some boor who was in a hurry and forced the right of way. You see... The car isn"t really expensive, but I"d prefer if the management didn"t know about the condition in which I was driving around the company car or what is now left of it... I"d rather cover the costs out of my own pocket. As if nothing ever happened. Please fix what you need to. My career could depend on it. I made some arrangements with the owner of the other car, but as sales representative, I have to have a clean slate at the pizzeria management... I mean the delivery company. Do what you can, I hope that you will keep our little secret. See you."

"Hey. I just got this little hatch. I brought this car thinking about commuting. I needed something small but something that would give me joy of driving. I bet on Elenti Callope. Small, but agile and fast. Unfortunately. these cars are often victims to young, inexperienced drivers and look bad to say the least. This specific piece must have driven in some races. It has its best times past it, but in general it"s not in the worst condition. You can tap it here and there. You know the drill. I see potential here. Appearance is not key to me. All that matters is that I restore its former driving properties and performance. Good luck."

This work seems easy, looking at the car and the engine does not look like it will give a lot of work, until you remove all the pieces and realize that it still has 6 no discovered and you have no idea what they are, the curse is that they are the rings of the Pistons, not the pistons, only the rings.

"Hello. I"ve been having trouble with driving at night for some time. I"m not sure, but I think that it"s a matter of a weak car battery. The lamps are looking a bit dirty, but it shouldn"t be a problem. Since I"m already here, check if everything"s okay with my car. I"m neither a fan nor an expert. I get the impression sometimes that it starts to lose power on longer rides. Or maybe it"s just this car is already of age. You can also wash it. I park it outside and it"s a bit dusty. Thank. Good luck!"

I hope you have enjoyed the previous mission because you will repeat part of it here again. One more engine to redo, drain the oil remove the gearbox, drain the coolant and disassemble the entire engine, the parts to be replaced in this engine are very symmetric, with the exception of the manifold exhaust, if you think is more practical use the engine stand.

"Hi, It"s Johnny. One of my employees will drop by with another car. I hope you"ll find a moment for him. Don"t be deceived by external appearances. It"s not without reason that it"s set on a chassis. The engine has been completely destroyed. I bought it from an insurer for peanuts. I don"t know how it happened, but the motor is battered. Restore it to the perfect shape. I think an original mileage like this one will make it a tasty bite. Thanks! We"ll be in touch!"

The problem with this is the engine. Drain the oil, remove the gearbox, remove it from the car, place in the engine stand and disassemble the entire engine, nothing that this rust is useful, it is all below 15%.

"Good morning. I was just on my way back with an accidental acquisition... My wife sent me to finally buy the promised car for my mother-in-law. I got back late from work yesterday. I"d been searching for something since morning, but I ended up on an auction anyway. Unfortunately, fatigue began to have an effect. I nodded off before the console and unintentionally won this BEAUTIFUL car. It"s actually not that bad. Perhaps I"m defending my stupid purchase just a bit... I will pay double for it, because here comes your part. Please check what"s wrong with it and get it up and running. Perhaps we"ll manage to get out clean from this misunderstanding. I"ll be waiting for results. Good luck!"

"Hey y"all. I"ve been dreaming of a car like this since I was a child. Pony Car has been my only choice for the longest time. The opportunity came and I became owner of this Bolt Mosquito. The car is not just a gem, but it seems that it has just minor bodywork issues. It looks as if it has suffered a slight pileup. The front and back area bit damaged. But here souldn"t be any surprises. Please check it. See what needes to be replace and I hope that I"ll see you soon and without any surprises."

"Hey. I bought this pickup for work. I needed a packable reliable car. I wanted the body to be in a resonable condition. The rest can be replaced. This specific car was mishandled. The suspension looks as if somebody trated curbs and rocks as a minor obstacle. The rims and exhaust system have also seen better days. The rest also requires a look to see if any minor repairs are needed. I trust you know what you"re doing. I prefer that the parts be new, so that it doesn"t fail me at the most inopportune time."

"Hello. I"ve just recently purchased a car from a friend of my aunt"s neighbor... It looked alright. At first it drove quite nicely. At some point, something cracked... There was smoke and everything shutdown. I was assured that it was all in great condition and the car didn"t require any additional input. It was supposed to be ready and up for driving for a couple more years... It seems that somebody played an unfunny joke on me. I need this car for next week. I must have a functioning means of transport because of my new job. I don"t have time to search for something new now because I"m moving houses soon. Please do what you can so I can drive this car without fear..."

"Hey. I"m Stopping by with a unconventional job, I found this car on an auction. It"s new and at first glance you can wonder what could be wrong with a vehicle like this. The problem is that it was a "donor" car. New, just bought. Without an engine. I tried to get a complete drive unit somewhere, but it seems that this specific model is highly desirable. And that"s how I found myself at your door. Please rebuild the heart of my new acquisition. I know it"s tedious work, but this case it"s profitable. Thank you and see you soon!"

Basically the car was purchased without engine and you need to assemble one for it. It uses the V8 DOHC Supercharged, go to the engine stand. When install the new engine, first remove the place holder (you can sell it for $15) that is in the vehicle and then install the new engine.

"Hi. I heard that you"re a decent professional. I found this car at my great grandpas in an old toolshed. Buried under old things and other trash. I have no idea how long it stood there. I know it from old photos from my grandparents. The once beautiful Salem 1500 needs some love and attention from somebody experienced. From what I remember, it wasn"t really spared by the previous users... In spite of it all, I think that it"s not the worst base for rebuilding this classic piece. Seems a shame to waste such a car. Apparently, it"s a rather rare configuration. Please do what you can to make it look like raw. If all goes well, maybe I will manager to sell it to a museum? We"ll see. Let me know wheen you"re done!"

"Hey y"all. I just got a huge injection of cash after a casino trip. I decided to get a sports car. I awlways wanted something fancy that would get attention. Unfortunately. I trusted my neighbor who"s mechanic. The car"s beutiful, I cannot deny, the only thing that bothers me is driving it. I am getting the impression that something"s wrong. On top of that, despite the power that this GTR is supposed to show, it doesn"t exactly scream sophistication. Please check if everything is as it should be, because I don"t know if I"ll manager to spark a bit more power in this engine, because it gives me zero emotions now. Thanks"

In 1909, Michio Suzuki (1887–1982) founded the Suzuki Loom Works in the small seacoast village of Hamamatsu, Japan. Business boomed as Suzuki built weaving looms for Japan"s giant silk industry.

Despite the success of his looms, Suzuki believed that his company would benefit from diversification and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. The project began in 1937, and within two years Suzuki had completed several compact prototype cars. These first Suzuki motor vehicles were powered by a then-innovative, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-cylinder engine. It had a cast aluminum crankcase and gearbox and generated 13 horsepower (9.7 kW) from a displacement of less than 800cc.

With the onset of World War II, production plans for Suzuki"s new vehicles were halted when the government declared civilian passenger cars a "non-essential commodity." At the conclusion of the war, Suzuki went back to producing looms. Loom production was given a boost when the U.S. government approved the shipping of cotton to Japan. Suzuki"s fortunes brightened as orders began to increase from domestic textile manufacturers. But the joy was short-lived as the cotton market collapsed in 1951.

By 1954, Suzuki was producing 6,000 motorcycles per month and his company had officially changed its name to Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. Following the success of his first motorcycles, Suzuki created an even more successful automobile: the 1955 Suzuki Suzulight. The Suzulight sold with front-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, which were not common on cars until three decades later.

The Suzuki Loom Company started in 1909 as a manufacturer of looms for weaving silk and cotton. Michio Suzuki was intent on making better, more user-friendly looms and, for 30 years his focus was on the development of these machines. Michio"s desire to diversify into automotive products was interrupted by World War II.four-stroke engines, Suzuki Motor Corp. was known for its two-stroke engines (for motorcycles and autos).motorized bicycle, but eventually the company would be known for Hayabusa and GSX-R motorcycles, for the QuadRunner, and for dominating racetracks around the world. Even after producing its first car in 1955 the company didn"t have an automobile division until 1961.

Maruti Suzuki was born as a Government of India-led company named Maruti Udyog Limited, with Suzuki as a minor partner, to make lower priced cars for middle class Indians. Over the years, the product range has widened and ownership has changed hands as the customer has evolved.

Maruti Zen, launched in 1993, was the company"s second compact car model. The company went on to launch another compact car Maruti Wagon-R followed by Maruti Baleno in 1999. It was later replaced by the Suzuki SX4. The SX4 further was replaced by Ciaz.

On 14 February 2011, Maruti announced that it had achieved one million total accumulated production volume of the Alto. The Alto has reached the million units mark in just seven years and five months since its launch in September 2000. The last half of the million was achieved in 25 months. The Alto became the third car by Maruti Suzuki stable to cross the million units mark, following the Maruti 800 and the Omni.

In January 2012 at the New Delhi Auto Expo, Maruti presented a new car called the Maruti Suzuki XA Alpha,Vitara Brezza in the Indian Auto Expo 2016 as a contender in the subcompact SUV segment.

Maruti Exports Limited is Maruti"s exporting subsidiary and, as such, does not operate in the domestic Indian market except in its capacity as an exporter for Maruti Suzuki and for the international Suzuki Motor Corporation as well as their other affiliates. The first commercial consignment of 480 cars were sent to Hungary. By sending a consignment of 571 cars to the same country, Maruti crossed the benchmark of 3,000,000 cars. Since its inception export was one of the aspects the government has been keen to encourage.

The Samurai was also introduced in 1985 for the 1986 model year and was the first car introduced to the United States by the newly created American Suzuki Corp. No other Japanese company sold more cars in the United States in its first year than Suzuki. The Samurai was available as a convertible or hardtop and the company slogan was Never a Dull Moment. The Samurai was successful until Consumer Reports alleged the Samurai of being susceptible to roll over in a 1988 test. This led to a much publicized 1996 lawsuit, not settled until 2004.

In 1995, American Suzuki introduced the Esteem and redesigned the Swift. The Swift GT was dropped and this version Swift was specific only to North America where it was built at CAMI. These models were the first Suzuki vehicles to be marketed in North America with dual front airbags. A station wagon version of the Esteem was introduced in 1996. Worldwide Suzuki production reached more than 975,000 cars this

The new company assumed the assets including production facilities of Awami Autos Limited. PSMCL started commercial operations in January 1984 with the primary objective of passenger cars, pick ups, vans and 4x4 vehicles.

On completion of first phase of this plant in early 1990, in-house assembly Suzuki engines started. The new plant was completed in 1992, and Suzuki production was transferred to new plant – and three-box 1,300 cc Margalla car was also added to its range of production.

1973 – 1 June, Suzuki Canada Ltd. was incorporated with offices at North York, Ontario. Product lines included motorcycles, parts and accessories to Suzuki dealers throughout Canada.

In 2013, Suzuki Canada announced that it would follow the US division and stop selling automobiles in Canada after the 2014 model year. Suzuki Canada will continue to provide parts and services to vehicles through dealer network, as well as selling motorcycles, ATV and outboard motors.

Suzuki GB PLC are the manufacturer"s agent and distributor of automobiles, motorcycles, ATV"s and Marine engines in the United Kingdom with a head office based in Milton Keynes. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Suzuki Motor Corporation operates as Suzuki Cars (Ireland) Limited in Ireland.

Their first product was the ST20 Carry (introduced in 1978), it saw extensive use as an Angkot.onomatopoetic word for the sound made by the Carry"s two-stroke engine.

In 2011, the company invested $800 million for producing Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) in Indonesia. In 2013, Suzuki opened another plant in Cikarang with a total investment of $1 billion.

GSX-R/4 concept car was presented in 2001. It is fitted with a 1,300 cm3 (79 cu in) engine taken from the GSX1300R Hayabusa motorcycle in an attempt to split the difference, merging the posture of an automobile and the disposition of a sportbike (Suzuki had been particularly successful selling motorcycles in the United States). Its high-revving inline-four engine supplied about 175 hp to a bare-bones, two-seat roadster weighing less than 1500 pounds.

Pixy + SSC concept was introduced at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The Pixy is an enclosed three-wheel, single-seat personal transport pod, similar to the Toyota i-unit, and i-REAL, but dissimilar in that two Pixies can dock inside the SSC (aka Suzuki Sharing Coach) for highway driving. Electric power is generated by a hydrogen fuel cell and solar panels to drive the SSC carrier van, and to recharge the Pixy at the same time.

G70 appeared at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show as the Regina, but was renamed before the 2012 Salon International de l"AutoAuto Chinacarbon dioxide (CO2) emissions no higher than 70g/km (and perhaps that Regina as a model name would be a marketing fiasco). The G70 is a concept for the next-generation global compact car, possibly replacing the Alto, and at 3,550 millimetres (140 in) long and 1,630 mm (64 in) wide with a weight of 730 kilograms (1,610 lb), the G70 is smaller and lighter than the Alto. It has an extremely economical 800 cubic centimetres (49 cu in), direct-injection turbo gasoline engine mated to a continuously variable transmission, and a claimed fuel mileage of 3.1 litres per 100 kilometres (91 mpg‑imp; 76 mpg‑US).

Q-concept, first shown at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, is a bubble car like the MIT CityCar, Nissan Pivo or Toyota PM. Just 2,500 millimetres (98 in) in length, the Q-concept has its driver and one passenger riding in tandem but is more comfortable than a motorcycle, being enclosed and having seats instead of a saddle. Intended primarily for short trips (within 10 kilometres (6.2 mi)) it ought to be able to park in nearly any available space.

A large factor in Suzuki"s success in two-stroke competition was the East German Grand Prix racer Ernst Degner, who defected to the West in 1961,MZ. The secrets Degner brought with him were three crucial technologies: the boost port,expansion chamber, and the rotary valve.Walter Kaaden of MZ was the first engineer to combine these three crucial technologies.

Suzuki continued to compete in MotoGP and last won the title in the 2000 season. From 2006 to 2011, the team was sponsored by Rizla and was known as Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team. On 18 November 2011, Suzuki announced that the GP racing was suspended, partly due to natural disasters and recession, until 2014.

T500 Titan (aka T500 Cobra, GT500) had a 500 cc air-cooled parallel-twin engine which overcame problems with durability, overheating and vibration. With an output of 47 metric horsepower (35 kW) at 6,500 rpm and top speed of 180 kilometres per hour (110 mph), it became Suzuki"s flagship machine in 1968, and remains popular with collectors and café racers.

Suzuki GSF1200 Bandit - Released in 1996 after the fully-faired RF900, the big, GSXR-powered Bandit offered stunning performance with real-world ergonomics and capabilities, and has become something of a "cult" model. These units have been used widely from road-race to Open Road Touring, were renowned for their versatility, robustness and massive torque production. Many are still in operation. The carbureted, air (and oil)-cooled design ran from 1996 to 2002; afterward Suzuki moved into fuel injection and liquid cooling on subsequent models. The last of the series was the GSX1250Fa. Though not technically labeled as a "Bandit", it was obviously the last in the long, popular line. Black, with a full-fairing, the GSX/Fa sold for only two years, between 2010 and 2011. Critics praised the model, like the earlier GSF, for its ergonomics and practical, "Do-It-All" capabilities; but market desire sagged due to the final model"s heavy weight and relatively low power output.

Burgman 650 (AN650) was the largest of a series of urban scooters produced in Japan (marketed as Skywave domestically) as well as in Italy and Spain with engine capacities of 125cc and up. When it appeared in 2002 the 650 was the largest-displacement scooter in the world, and first two-wheel vehicle to have an electrically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission.Japan Institute of Design Promotion awarded the G Mark Good Design Award to the Skywave 650 in 2003, to the entire Skywave series in 2006 and to the updated Skywave 650LX in 2013.Choinori was a lightweight, inexpensive, 50cc scooter and the antithesis of the Skywave 650, but they were introduced at the same time in an effort to increase domestic sales in response to shrinking motorcycle exports.JSAE 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.G Mark Good Design Award in 2003.

Boulevard M109R (VZR1800) V-twin, dubbed the Intruder M1800R in Europe, arrived in 2006 boasting a 112 mm (4.4 in) bore with a 90.5 mm (3.56 in) stroke, amongst the largest gasoline engine pistons ever used in any production motorcycle (or passenger car).

Burgman Fuel-Cell Scooter uses electric-motor propulsion, powered by an air-cooled hydrogen fuel cell; its only emission is water. Following on a concept model at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, in 2011 the Burgman Fuel-Cell Scooter became the world"s first fuel-cell vehicle to earn Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) in the European Union, enabling the vehicle to be sold in all member states.

The Suzuki Choinori was developed to be mainly used for short journeys for commuting and shopping. The appropriate engine output, body structure, and required functions were reviewed from the basic design phase in pursuit of mass reduction, rationalization of parts, and high quality. It achieved mass reduction of about 40% compared with a conventional scooter by reducing the size of parts, the application of a new engine, a newly designed frame, and by careful reduction of the number of plastic parts. Such rationalization, including a reduction in the number of parts tightened by nuts and bolts, enabled the Choinori to be sold at the low price of 59,800 yen. Colored resin was used for plastic parts to provide 6 body colors without the need for painting. A new high-speed cylinder plating technology was introduced for the newly developed 4-stroke engine to enable high-speed processing at low cost. This reduced the weight of the engine by about 40% compared with a conventional 50 cc engine.
