i know its been a while but having no idea what has become of the team and effects.
what has happened to the cars i mean are they some where in Japan or have they been sold off to privateers some where in the world?

[Bigroza]

I doubt they sold them on, they'd be a little like the BX4TC's of 86', an embarrassment. Id say they dismantled them but who knows, interesting question though... Didnt Mitsubishi destroy most of their WRC's in Japan after pulling out?

[Heclailia]

It's a pity, the car lacked engine power but it was nice to see/hear (already in Monte 2008 - I was there) and very stable (as we have seen from PJ performance in Wales)

I hope they aren't destroying them like Mitsu evil minds.

[VYholden]

Do they have S2000 plans with the car? They could recycle a lot of the car in a S2000 configuration.

[jyhugikuhih]

i remember they have a s2000 plan let me search it i'll be back

[jyhugikuhih]

Yeah here it is. but it has been a lie i think. i have never heard of such thing again.

A guy I know that is involved with Suzuki said the cars went back to Japan to be scrapped

what, oh no. This car looked so fabulous and could be doing great in national championships like the Mitsubishi in Hungary!!

If it's true that SX4's got already scrapped, it's really a shame. SX4 wasn't competitive enough but I liked its appearance.

I heard Suzuki is one of the manufacturers who is pushing 1600cc turbo car format because they want to use their best selling car, Swift, at the top level.

Urmo Aava says that Suzuki are currently building an S2000 car for WRC

MML Sports took over the lancers and run them for privaters now

[Bigroza]

I think that 2002 Lancer WRC looked pretty sweet

One of the SX4s is heading to Barbados in the fall. Rallying in Barbados is really getting interesting. We have S9s, S12s, a Corolla and Escort WRC and now an SX4!

guys if u want to come to barbados to see the car in action the next big event in barbados is the rally sun and stars september 12th.

only two international drivers ever won rallies in barbados kenny mckinstry and kris meeke both won rally barbados twice.

paul bird came 2nd twice. mark higgins crash out after leading in the rally sun and stars in 2007. so only irish drivers had luck in barbados.

i heard the sx4wrc would be in barbados for this event.it is the next big rally after rally barbados.

[ringtonesmannq]

please send some pictures of the SX4! would like to see those little bugs again!

[AK47rulz]

Why would Suzuki want to destroy its own cars?
It would be nice to have seen them sold in the UK.

[Rugda]

They are not destroyed. After a long wait and delays, at least one, maybe both, will be in Barbados competing soon. I am sure there will be pics posted here when the SX4s show up.

[Quonuttott]

Holy thread ressurection batman?

[Discus]

I have been in contact with Monster Tajima last week about doing an article for a magazine about Monster and Suzuki Sport. He has invited me to his Yokohama base (just working on a time now) and I have a feeling the cars might be there.

Will be able to let you all know when I head there.

[ringtonesmannq]
