HEY! the AMISH know WTF they are doing, you try putting up a barn like that.

*sad* putting everything on hold for the time being, I need to fix the family vehicles the van needs new head gaskets 200.00 for the studs and another 40 for the gaskets plus I still have to figure out the exhaust leak??? and the suzuki/daewoo needs new struts "special order from indonesia" another 200+ dollars ugh! all outta dough.  Time to go through the garage and sort out what can be sold and what can't.  Times like this I wish I had a second job.  

that sucks, really black hole sucks. Do you have a PN on the old struts for the daewoo? I might be able to get them up here in Canada cheaper and save you some $$.

[NintendoKD]

no, but I can tell you they were marketed as the
Buick Excelle
Buick Excelle HRV
Chevrolet Lacetti
Chevrolet Nubira
Chevrolet Optra
Chevrolet SRV
Holden Viva
Suzuki Forenza
Suzuki Reno

I don't know if I can get a part no. as it is a dealer only part.

thanks for offering,

Kevin

I can get optra struts up here, what year? Also did you check NHTSA for the brake recall?

When was It put out?  I bought the car from a Japanese cat, working at Bakersfield airport.  I have had the car as the second owner for a little over two years now.  I am also on suzuki-forums.com but most of the guys that used to be on there or even aftermarket vendors have slid into the shadows, it's kinda creepy really.  I'm on daewootech forums too, haven't snooped around in my car's section but I suspect the same there as well.  Thanks for keeping  up with me on this, It means a lot, to know that knowing that I find the answers that I need are on a diesel site "for a daewoo car"

thanks,

Kevin

yea when did it come off the assembly line? 2000? 2005? Our company parts guy in CT is willing to see if they are cross referenced to other vehicles in his system. He said if he had a year and make of daewoo, he can see if our suppliers have them here in North America.

Thanks,

I know that I keep going back and forth on this thing, but I need to get rid of her, what is the pert no of the I/P rebuild kit I need to rebuild her?  I will need new fuel hose, fuel filter's, fuel line's to the I/P, new injector bushings, 11mm head gasket arp studs, return lines, and a reseal kit, and while I'm at it I 'll go ahead and splurge on some tools, I'll need the feeler guages and timing kit, as well as getting a new tensioner, and belt.  Anything else I'm forgetting?  I gotta get this thing running, and sell it fast.  Where can I get this stuff the cheapest? and I know it's a pain, but it would really help me out tremendously.

thanks,

Kevin

this thing is fine, I need new fuel lines "inside the engine bay" fuel filters, and the injection pump needs to be resealed as well as a rebuild on the 1.5 injectors. She'll run great after all of that. May even opt to add the garret turbo I have from a JDM sr20 for some extra fun, and experience.
