The Suzuki Alto Works RSR is the Best 90s Kei Car

I made this since there's a serious lack of Alto related content on the internet. I'm sure I missed a lot of information or even got things wrong so feel free to reach out. I've had this Suzuki Alto Works RSR for about a year. His name is Stanley.

Love those JDMs. Drove a Cube in Okinawa. Later in Fussa, just west of Tokyo, had an Altezza. 3 yrs in each place as I am in the Air Force. Hope to get one more assignment to Japan before I retire.

Sweet ride dude, I never had a Suzuki in my life, always been other Japanese models other than Suzuki. However, I had to buy a car for my wife and I came across a 2015 Suzuki Alto RS Turbo. Man I fell in love with these small cars. Its still pretty stock having 5 speed AGS tiptronic gear box with peddle shifters and laser auto breaking with ESP/ABS and other abbreviations that makes my head spin. But this is has a very nice torque. Love this little car. Love the KEI Alto's. Nice ride man, take care of it.

[@Waybeforethefame]

one of my dream kei cars!!!!!

[@ZomBSnatcher4671]

I saw one of these at a repair shop in Connecticut and fell in love with it. It was parked between 2 Daihatsu mini trucks and looked tiny compared to them. Excellent video thanks for sharing

[@collinweik9341]

What shop? Pls respond lol

[@joshuamelton7311]

Dude! Sounds so good on the inside!

[@Gravengaard]

Good job Matt! Sounds sick - more potent than Mr. Sparkle ;)

[@user-ou9xi9tr2v]

今、見てもカッコイイ。日本でも大切に乗ってる人がいます。

[@seankagan5720]

Beautiful car bro. I'd love to import one when I move to new zealand

[@happi6969]

i love how it looks

[@allenplant1702]

Sweet Alto! I'm looking to get a '97 this week 🤙

[@Bobex63]

Sweet video! You gotta make an upgrade kit or parts list for us lame old farts - I haven’t found a thing for mine yet. I’m motivated now, tho! (Jealous about the A/C, too!!). Take care, buddy - Schoolbus Bob...

[@sobirateljp2087]

I want this car so bad,gonna buy it next year.

[@markbroad119]

It's a Suzuki so I think a busa or gsxr would be awesome. I'd really like to have one for a daily driver. 100 miles one way. Great mpg

[@jacprendo]

I wonder If the upgraded parts and awd gearbox would fit on a eu block (1l +)

[@user-ub4zf1ij6h]

私の世界一愛している可愛い車です、海外でこんなに愛され、大切にされ、綺麗に乗ってもらって、感激します。 これからも愛してやって下さい。

[@patogee]

Actualmente quedan de estos suzukis para venta y en precio se pueden conseguir salydos desde Chile

[@vintagerust7723]

Bro that is sick!!

[@gafrers]

Amazing. Kei cars are so good

[@MrWillT]

Nice video man! 😁

[@Tad0785]

Love it, if you ever decide to sell it let me know. Also, if you happen to make it to the Houston area I'd love to check it out and I can bring on of my cars

[@dipstiksubaru3246]

My 1996 altoworks rsz with the suzukisport stage 1 ecu would spin to 11,000rpm. But mine being newer had the k6a all aluminium engine.

[@Detah_]

Where did you source the monster sport ecu from? I’m building out a wagon r with the same f6a motor and might need it for when I put on a bigger turbo. Also hypothetically how would you go about putting an external wastegate on the car if you could? Or is the engine bay to tiny. Also what exhaust is that? Or did it come with the car.

[@muffin4600]

How do you even find any info on these kei cars, like what parts will fit or which modifications are safe? My current car, Mazdaspeed3, is known for blowing its engine with even small mods like just an intake or just an exhaust, so I'm a little apprehensive of just throwing parts on a car. And was there any reason you chose the Suzuki over similar cars like Subaru vivio, Daihatsu Mira? Or was this just what was available near you?

[@Australienxo]

such a cool car

[@connory6741]

It’s looks so cute in America as everything there is so big and unhealthy. U could park 2 of those in a space there.

[@vic.u_u]

where did you get the rims?

[@glovester]

Now _that's_ a car.

[@kekethetoad]

What's with the checkered mats and cooler? Mason?

[@steverandall5814]

Cool ride! What does the bar across the back hatch opening do? Somehow I don't think you use it to hang up your dry cleaning, so I'm guessing it's used for stiffening up the body under hard cornering???

[@texastoastr]

supposedly adds stiffness, i just think it looks cool 😎

[@atlasgrey]

Love it

[@AtomicCheesegod]

I have two Turbo Kei vans, a RSR Alto Works is my next purchase

[@user-qc5rg2rp5y]

Very cool

[@user-mt9rt3zm7n]

この頃のワークス最高やで😮

[@richr161]

Who do you use for parts supplier? I have a couple of kei cars jimny, autozam, sambar and cappuccino. This is definitely on the list. Also how is the Monster kit and turbo. Out of the box it seems these things are set up to extract torque in terms of turbo tuning and mapping. They pretty much fall on their face if you rev them and end up just making noise.

[@texastoastr]

Parts I find on Megazip, Buyee, or from other owners. I have a HT07 turbo and Monster Sport N1 Ecu. I think it really wakes it up!

[@vincentcastellano2079]

dude great video! Obsessed with these, my buddy Dustin has one, and I love it so much. How much hp now?!?!?!?!?

[@texastoastr]

I really don't know. I'd estimate 90ish?

[@happi6969]

im guessing you imported it from japan? what do they go for in japan? im thinking about getting one but i dont really know what they cost.

[@texastoastr]

I found it in Houston already imported. In Japan they sell cheaper than here. Overall range would be 2000-8000

[@barsaf9989]

Really cool. Do you still have it? How difficult was it to rebuild the engine? Internals hard to come by? How about other parts?

[@texastoastr]

still have it, 5 years now! engine rebuild just took time and patience, some parts are easy and others are very hard.

[@GRANT.MONTGOMERY]

Anything to lookout for when buying one of these cars ? Like rust and what not

[@texastoastr]

i wont say these are 100% rust free, but MOST ones I've seen don't have any issues with rust. Headgaskets, seals, leaking, and turbo issues are what to look for. Generally though, these are in decent shape.

[@GarageKei]

Nice!

[@texastoastr]

Thanks! Looking forward to making more content. Might ask for advice :)

[@jp7489]

Nice👍

[@redlofi9210]

so these didn't come from factory with a sound system or radio?

[@texastoastr]

they did :D

[@hunterfermil7084]

Where did you get the roof spoiler??

[@texastoastr]

came with the car, its a "take-off cross" brand

[@nicrankins5048]

how expensive are these to maintain? i’m looking into buying one

[@texastoastr]

Be ready to to spend thousands if really doing a lot of work.

[@425flex]

Hey cool build! Is it hard to find parts for this thing?

[@mdkwatson1850]

I own one in Japan, and it isn't great when it comes to finding parts. Gotta hunt a little bit

[@MyralDesigns]

Just curious where do you find parts for this? Mind exchanging numbers?

[@texastoastr]

Megazip, Buyee, Instagram

[@huck69]

@@texastoastr who on Instagram do you go to?

[@texastoastr]

@@huck69 GarageKei, Jesse Streeter, and a random asortment of people who just happen to find wheels and the like

[@noahking3785]

Hey Matt, I just picked up a 95 Alto Works and would love to talk shop with you. Get your thoughts on wheels/tires, part sources, etc. I'm in Austin, would be down to meet up at some point too. Cheers!
