So I put some wheels on a couple SX4's the other day. Nothing too fancy. I think +38 ish with 225/50/17. Hopefully I have a spoiler in the back to put on one of them.
Im going to have one of these sx4's and a 2012 Kizashi SX with 20's at the spring meet if anyone wants to see
I also figured I'd post a Suzuki Cappuccino. For all you lovers?
**NOT my car**
But similar to how I want to make it look. This guy has a Rocky Road Outfitters lift kit and 15" wheels with Yokohama Geolanders all terrain tires.
All this car is missing is the mud flaps.
Seen this car a couple hrs ago.

That car was a 6 speed std from memory. The silver rails means it is a JLX. The JX comes with the black rails. Things that make em different are the fog lights, smartpass key fob, heated seats, sub, auto climate control and the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
I'll be in on Sat all day. If you come in, find me. My name is Allen.
I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner of that car. So I'm not sure what flaps they were. I figured they were homemade at first glance. It was that heavy duty recycled rubber.
Didn't even know there was a suzuki section here. I've had a few suzukis and have used orca bay for parts many times. I would recommend them.
This is my current suzuki. 94 sidekick 4 door with 1.6L turbodiesel from a volkswagen.
Previous sidekick, drove down to oregon dunefest and made it all the way home with a blown headgasket and temp in the red from seattle. Still ran after that.

I'll breathe some more life back into this thread. (Not my SX4)

My platform was a 2009 SX4 Crossover, 5-speed, base model. Here are the current mods:
ENGINE: RRM SRI, RRM underdrive pulley, custom 2.25" straight back exhaust, Suzuki Sport oil cap and radiator cap, Samco radiator hoses, Sard coolant hoses, Braille B2015 battery, Suzuki Sport ground kit.
SUSPENSION: TEIN Basic coilovers, RRM front sway, RRM rear sway, Ultra Racing rear strut brace.
WHEEL/BRAKE: 17x7.5 Rota Slipstreams, 225/45/17 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec, Suzuki Sport lug nuts, RRM Stage II brake kit, RRM ss brake lines.
In my garage, I have all the bits and pieces for my turbo build. Initially I was going to sell the kit. But, I guess I'll go ahead and see how she takes boost. I have already mounted the FMIC, b/c I was sick of that big empty hole in the bumper. I'll begin working on the install over the next two months.
For me, one of the most fun things about owning an off-road-capable vehicle is going places most people won't ever get to see. Whether it's four wheeling in Moab, Utah or simply exploring some back country dirty roads locally, there's a feeling of freedom, excitement, and wanderlust when I get to actually use my four-wheel or all-wheel drive system.
There are some really amazing places off the beaten path; places that a lot of vehicles won't be able to go—or at least places most people aren't willing to take their vehicle. You don't necessarily need a hardcore 4x4 to venture off the pavement. Some might argue you don't even need four-wheel drive in many instances. However, it's a nice feature to have if and when things get a bit tricky.
Apparently, Eric Davis feels the same way. He's made a few off-road videos of his outfitted Suzuki SX4 exploring destinations off the beaten path. Case in point is this video he filmed using his GoPro. The areas include a couple of ghost towns around Greenough, Montana. This kind of adventure isn't all about the four-wheeling; it's also about the exploration, the history, and getting out.
Eric's SX4 has a lift on it as well as Rocky Road Outfitters rock sliders, slightly bigger-than-stock BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, Primitive Racing skid plates, auxiliary lighting, and a host of other modifications. It's a pretty trick ride that helps the SX4 more capable when the pavement ends.
I love this kind of stuff, and am fortunate to have a Suzuki Sidekick and Subaru Forestser for a bit of back country exploration of my own. Eric's video, however, really captures the essence of getting out there and exploring, if only for a day.
My old Suzuki Swift GTi that I'm selling now, was really fun to drive, cheap on gas, and quick for such a small motor. I chipped the ecu, put cams in and switched the exhaust to 2-1/4". Whenever people road in it, they would be quite surprised when I punched it, not expecting it out of a small 1.3L swift :-P
