In today's episode, we're building a new exhaust, deleting the muffler and resonator, and straight piping my wife's Rallycross Suzuki SX4, Paprika. This thing is LOUD.

It went through suspension components too frequently and a u joint went in the prop went but it was a good drive and had loads of traction in the sloppy stuff, I’d say the best car I’ve ever been in for finding traction off-road, it just didn’t have the ground clearance to do a lot with said traction

  • @GrindhousePerformance

    @GrindhousePerformance

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hello! My best guess is the way you're trying to bleed the brakes is adding air back into the circuit, unless you've got some leak in the system. If your hose on the fitting is a loose fit, or if you don't top off the fluid as you're bleeding it can reintroduce air. When the brake fittings are opened up (with the brake depressed after pumping several times) you shouldn't be seeing any air bubbles in the hose. They'll be present at first but will improve as you keep repeating the process. Start with the brake furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way around the car. Good luck!

    I also live in Vermont, about as far north as you can go in the state (close to Jay Peak, north and east). My dads 08 SX4 he sold with nearly 300k miles last year he’s owned since new outlasted my 08 Impreza by a long shot, didn’t rust out like my Impreza did, never cracked open the engine. Meanwhile my Impreza spun a rod bearing at just over 100k, had really rusty rear 1/4’s and rockers... in terms of long term longevity and maintenance costs it blows Subaru out of the water...

    @@GrindhousePerformance seriously??? I thought the new FB and FA engines were pretty good. I had an older EJ, 2008 was a specific year Subaru had a lot of issues with according to consumer reports, and I was one of those people who had just about every trouble. The crankshaft wasn’t aligned properly from the factory, it ate crank position sensors like once a month, spun a rod bearing, head gaskets started leaking... Car was excellent for northern New England winters though. That little Suzuki though, man that car was good in the snow. Short wheel base, good AWD system. Coupled with some quality hakkapilletas...

    It's a shame that Suzuki left the USA. We have a 2008 FWD/Auto. I wanted to trade it for an AWD/6spd, then install a turbo, skids, and adjustable coilovers that could lower it for rallycross or lift it for offroading. Suzuki shut down here, and so did the aftermarket. These cars could have been an absolute blast on a budget. 200+ boosted WHP and some tiny mudders would be a hoot. My 2016 Crosstrek doesn't have as much fun factor. It's a better commuter, with less noise, better ride, and 40+ MPG if I set the cruise, but it's pricier, nobody really offers performance/rally parts, the center diff doesn't lock, and it's HEAVY for a little car. I also got a somewhat-boring CVT, as the sunroof and fogs weren't available with the 6spd.

    Hey that's awesome! That is one of the downsides of the SX4 honestly, there's hardly any aftermarket for them anymore. The class we race is is pretty heavily limited to stock vehicles, which helps us be more competitive in the class. The only real allowances we have are DOT tires, small wheel size changes, and adding safety provisions for racing. Our biggest challenges are factory turbo AWD cars, but honestly, we do it more to spend time with each other and have fun.
