Wasn't someone here looking for something like this.
I'm close, have a trailer and a lift.
I cannot bring two AWD Suzukis home this weekend...or can I.

So, theoretically, if you bought this and got it squared away, how much would you have to have for it? (Looking for a Kazoo Jr car)
Come on up and help me put a clutch in it. As as long as a make a few hundred I'm happy. I'll call on it later today, I just happen to have the afternoon off today. I plan to offer $500 that I just happen to have in my pocket.
I'd be all over that for $500. I've always liked those cars but have yet to drive one.
If it's cleanish I would go as far as $800.
Lets add it up, ten years old, over 150k miles, orphan brand, broken, winter.
Why I like it, AWD, manual, cheap, broken, maybe make money on it.
I'm going to look at it this afternoon. Sounds like the clutch just went out all at once????? You can press the clutch pedal down and move through the gears so its not just a slave/master problem.
great cars!

I hope you want this, it’s clean with black cloth, everything works. Just got it for $700.
And heated seats. New BFG Advantage T/A’s.
Pearl white paint. It even has a built in GPS, a little hatch on the dash pops up and has an old school Garmin unit in it.
They are very capable little off road machines. Something Suzuki has always been pretty good at.
I would be very tempted if you weren't 1000 miles away.

Going to show it to Kazoo Jr. as soon as I get home (around 5:30 E.S.T). Shoot me a PM and I'll let you know where we stand when I get home.
Ive always wondered about those, although i didnt know they ever came in a manual.
In reply to kazoospec :
Google "Suzuki SX4 rally car" , then show him the ad.
In reply to DeadSkunk :
Already done! It pretty much worked on both of us.
In reply to DeadSkunk :
Yes please!
No build thread from me on this one, just a catch and release.
Kazoospec saved me from an uncertain fate. In reality my wife kind of understood, she has come to grips with my affliction.
I keep having to remind myself this will be KazooJr's car. Pretty sure it's gonna end up being more fun than my Yaris.
17 x 9, 255/40
Not a build thread. Just wanted to see what it would look like.
So far I have broken exactly zero 6mm under tray fasteners. I’m starting to think that this has not been in the rust belt its whole life.
This thing has the opposite of a cold air intake. What looks like an engine cover is actually a big air box, sitting right on top of the cam cover.
If the intake elbow from the filter box was turned 180 degrees it would have a straight shot to the front of the car. That’s got to be worth at least some better sound. Lots of room for a small snail right there too.
In reply to akylekoz :
We've still got these wheels left over from the Protege. 
Has it turned out that the Suzuki is a simple clutch replacement as hoped?
In reply to John Welsh :
Simple no, a clutch replacement yes.
The transfer case goes through the cross member so it needs to come off, possibly lower at least one side of the subframe and or engine to get the trans out. There is however plenty of room to work so that's good. Just nuts and bolts, but a few more than a standard clutch job. Parts are not cheap, mostly due to the hydraulic throwout bearing, that will get changed while in there.
I popped the wheels and splash guard off last night, The drivers side has some new parts, probably a wheel bearing or axle.
In reply to kazoospec :
Those will look nice, just need taller tires.
In reply to akylekoz :
If memory serves, they're 16's, so I may be able to transfer over the tires that came with the Suzuki. That would leave the OEM rims for snow tires down the road.
Moving on to Kazoospec now, this poor little orphan was only spared due to its 4WD, without it would have suffered a fate worse than Lemons.
