Re: HA22s Air Filter Pipework

Can confirm. Air filter does SFA for power, general consensus in Japan seems to be that unless you up the turbo both exhaust and intake do very little. A pod does make very funny sounds though, adds extra fury to your car while going exactly as slow. I found a tiny pod at up garage for 500 yen and t...

Oh, they seem to have a leak prone boot though, after the rainy season mine had accumulated a small puddle in the spare wheel alcove. Throwing a a container of water sucking salt goodness in there kept it dry after that.

Re: new HA22s Works Owner

Seeing as I have one too I will pipe in here. Mine has next to no rust in it compared to some getting around in the mountains (think missing wheel arches), but little brown surface spots on the underbody where stones have nicked the paint. There are a few spots in the doors that seem to have a littl...

Suzuki sure know how to make little cars fun. However, the little critter has a rather nasty rattle that presents itself at id...

Re: new HA22s Works Owner

Hi Axeboy. Nice car, I picked up the same model over here in Japan as a run about and it's the fastest feeling slow car I have ever driven. They sound like all the power and fury on earth is trapped within them, even when just getting up to speed in traffic, and their light weight and tiny tyres mak...
