SV420G- Any prob's.

[Dave_STR]

I am thinking a getting one of these as a second car.

I know that the mag had a article this month. What the mag doesn't tell me is how they to live with for a couple of years and what everyday drivers of these have experienced in problems wise.

Cheers Dave.

You should know Tim, you owned one. It's the 2.0

yeah, you cant beat them! nearly 100kw out of a 4cylinder in a light weight 4wd.

I owned 1 for 5 years and used it every second saturday and during the week would out drag local ricers :D

only did 2 stater motors, 1 pulley, 1 rear main seal and 1 CV and i was young and stupid plus i drove it hard, all but the cv could have been prevented if i knew any better back then!!

dam photobucket is not up so i will post pics later.

it think atari4x4 on here has a j20a vitara, it looks tuff as!

J20A is the engine designation, SV420G is the model designation. I have one of these in my Vit collection (it's a sickness) and it's the basis for my new build. The more I drive it, the more I like it.

i've always had a soft spot for the zooks, i think the SV420G was the best comprimise as it still can be still be modified & is also a reasonable road car.

i found this thread on zukiworld atari4x4 build up:waycool:

I was thinking of getting a SWB GQ Safari, but the Navara costs enough to run.

How are they on fuel, I do 120-200km's a day, I wanna share the Km's with the Navara. I bought the Navara last july and have clock up 50,000km's since. So yeah I drive alot.

It will pretty much only see stockton, for off road fun. I wont be doing anything extreme.

Fuel was good, i cant remember the tank size but i will fill the tank in bris-morayfield on friday and drive down to black duck 4wd park with a fully loaded zuk, do 2 days solid 4wding then drive home with 530ks and still have 50ks to go before i needed to fill up again, it was stock tyres with 40mm lift

the last 2 show it with 225/75/16s that did slow it but i added extractors and problem solved

stock the 2L has 39% more torque and 39 % more power than the 1.6, i dont know another 4b that can smoke the tyres of the show room floor
( thats under $90,00 )

my 2c is if you can get your hands on one go for it!!

Righto a big thank you to the Suzuki boys on this forum.

I am waiting for a new contract to come through in a few days, so then the searching will begin.

Cheers Dave.
