Just an update....

Filmars was closed due to the long holiday. So I went to Banawe and luckily, Links suzuki parts was open. I had a local mechanic change the kinpin bearings and everything is okay now.

Zuk parts aren't expensive as other people said. They're comparable with the other Jap brands, except Honda

It really helped that I read the net

BTW, has anybody installed OME suspension to their Jimny? Is it good?

i just got my '04 suzuki jimny * 340k, ang sarap niya i-drive. this is my first car & first timer ako mag drive. it is really comfortable using this one rather driving my father's van. any advise paano ko enhance ung car parang kulang sa power? i already complained it with my dad, nasanay daw kasi ako sa powerful car..

bale napakabitan ko lang siya ng slim type sub..i just love this car, gusto ko lang siya enhance..i don't care kung matagtag basta as long as madali siya i-park at ilusot lusot.

it's 1.3 liter so not really built for power, so tama si tatay. pero backread na lang sa thread, meron yatang turbo for the jimny courtesy of speedlab.

The transmission is geared for low speed power not top end power.

On the NLEX, I could only manage around 125kph before running out of road. It may not be speedy but it's damn near unstoppable irregardless of terrain or weather.

For its size, I'm pretty contented with the performance. And I drive a pretty powerful car the rest of the week. Something that can do 160kph on the NLEX during emergencies.

can't wait to see how it looks..

2009 Jimny IV

Around the same time, Suzuki will also introduce a new-generation Jimny.

The fourth-generation Jimny mini-4WD will retain the current vehicle’s off-road abilities and hose-down toughness, but in a slightly larger, more comfortable and far safer package.

Little is known beyond the fact that, as a result, the next Jimny will probably include a separate ladder chassis.

Previous Jimny iterations have been the 1974 LJ, 1981 SJ Sierra and the current model launched here in mid-1998.

SX4-based sedan - First quarter 2008
Mid-sized 4WD - Last quarter 2008
Jimny mini-4WD - Early 2009
Mid-sized AWD sedan - Late 2009
Swift IV - 2010
Swift IV cabriolet - 2011

Hey guys! I just bought a 2nd hand 03 Jimny A/T last Feb 4 and I love it! I am now selling my 06 Civics in favor of my newly accuired jimny. (

). I immediately replace the stock HU (it sucks!) with an Alpine that can play CD, IPod, USB etc. Also replaced the front speakers to 4" MB Quart reference component system and add a set of 5.25 MB Quart component systemat the back. Replaced the horns with a Bosh Benz horns (BING! BING!) And last upgarde I made is a Holiwood Bike rack (Im a Mountain biker) So far thats all I have with my new baby.
