Dave,
I also do most of my own work. I have two Suzuki 660cc one FI. I get 28k to the Liter! They are great, the fi even runs a AC. and is an autumatic in a Carry Van. The others in a 4X4 pickup Carry. -- Burr From The Gardens Roses & Orchids Guiguinto, Bulacan. Philippines http://www.guiguinto.gov.ph/ And Red Mountain, Ca. USA I'm a member of The Tea Party, I VOTE I do my own tuneups, brakes, body maintenance, etc. There's not much else to do on a 100% made in Japan car. I will need to split the engine in 2 at 100K to replace the timing belts and water pump. But that's the curse of getting 175 HP out of a motor the size of a carryon bag. |
