suzuki swift mk1 cabriolet

[tommi]

Well i wasnt going to enter this year as im putting all my money into my BMW 2002 group 2 car im building..... however this came up for £200!!!!



its a 1.3 and reasonably nippy i think. leaf spring rear axle so im sure there are some cheap mods out there to make that very stiff.

so far i have fitted a CD player and a couple of holes in the roof have been sewn up. i have been given a gigantic letterbox exhaust and various other random shite and junk to add to it.

have got some 15x7 centerelines im re-boring out to the right stud pattern and got some sticky(ish) rubber for £50 as there of an old chevy day van and i still got lots of tyres from last year.

So basically i have tons of budget left!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone has a swift gti engine or something simaler then please let me know as would be interested in making her competitive

Well, that's a first Tommi!!

[tommi]

ive just had a very dirty idea.....

getting a mk1 RX7 carb engine and gearbox.

cutting the floor out the suzuki (well down the middle)

mounting up a rwd back axle onto the leaf springs already there and obviously improve the suspension.

lots n lots n lots of nitrous!

hmmmmmmmm will get some ideas together i think

[TeamTotalWankel]

What about a 2nd engine where the back seats used to be?

That looks interesting my saab project was sold as the mate needed the cash asap so im on lookout for a motor I want a coupe and am tempted by cheap corrado with no interior.
How about bike carbs on a gti lump ?
I look forward to your build thread

[Relentless Rob]

Hmmmm, £799 left eh?

Supercharged Vitara V6 on a Baleno box?

Whatever you do that car just look like it's going to be fun.

[tommi]

im tempted to just leave it and enjoy it as its awesome fun driving round town 4 up in it with the tunes banging out. miles of smiles!!!!

if anyone see's a mk1 swift 1.3 come up for sale i would be very interested in dropping another engine into the boot for sure!!!!

[tommi]

found a set of 2" lowering blocks..... fitted.



exhaust is all sorted now and doesnt blow so much,

tape fitted to roof to stop it coming off at speed.

sprayed wheels with stonechip so they look pimp yo!

engine seems to still be holding on for dear life so no change yet and my BMW is sucking money from my pocket so no cash to play with suzukis really

[Steve33]

Maybe cage it and turn it into a roadster type thing take off bootlid and rear interior along with hood and mechanism bend some tubes for a rollbar heypresto lightweight load carrier .

[Treefinder]

Verrrry funky, it looks just as square as the triumph acclaim we ran last year!!! T he triumphs here again this year with its owner i would like to see these up pod side by side

[tommi]

im afraid that im going to have to sell this old goat.... need the money for my BMW. please feel free to make me offers if its of interest to anyone, comes with alloys now aswell

going to have to give 999 challange a miss this year just all the wrong times as its bang on the racing season
