This is my new favorite project thread. You're gonna love that motor dude, revs like crazy. You might want to hit up Calmini, they're a Suzuki aftermarket specialist and they used to sell stuff for the Swift GT, they might have some stuff left over or maybe some of the Samurai/Sidekick stuff can work for you. I bought a header from them back in the day for my Swift. https://www.calmini.com/brand.php?b=2

Wait a minute......The PO spent three figures building the race car and traded it for a lovely VW Golf and a couple grand?

Can't wait to see this car live and see how well the Suzuki motor does in the car. I bet it's going to be a loving blast.

Haha, it's been raining here in FL every day now too, tropical moisture coming in from the Caribbean like clockwork, happens every summer. Kinda hard to plan outside projects with a constant threat of rain. It's great for the lawn and plants tho

Wow great job man, it doesn't have to be perfect tho because race car. The most important thing is getting the experience under your belt, I'd love to be able to take a shot at doing it myself some day it looks like fun actually

Great job man, I hear you about poo poo possibly exploding, every time I did a Miata top (I did a lot) it always felt like poo poo would start ripping apart because it felt way too tight even after heating it up in the sun. Amazingly I never hosed one up.

Kaptainballistik posted:I’m a fan of factory ecu’s as they are generally quite powerful. Especially since the Suzuki he got it out of is a bullet proof little car. I had a brand new Swift GT back in the 90's and the engine in that car was probably the best twin cam four banger I had the pleasure of abusing. Might as well go with what you know is gonna work. [e] but ITBs do sound like a great idea

MonkeyNutZ posted:The real kicker would be discovering with two days left to go before the 13 hour drive to New York that the trailer suspension is completely worn out So the trailer was cheap for a reason then  How does the truck do towing fully loaded? Any towing mods planned? Airlift springs are cheap and work great to level out the load. Super jealous tho man, I really miss my Swift, one of the few cars i regret getting rid of. I bet it's going to make a kick rear end rally car.

Wow, score on that truck it looks great. I've always liked that generation F250. Manual or auto trans? What motor does it have in it? Not the one that shoots spark plugs out of it i hope.

Great deal, post some interior pics when you get a chance. I imagine it has to be a HUGE improvement for towing going from a straight six to a V8. You can tow cross country now if you want to, just get a steering wheel with cruise control buttons on it for plug and play cruise Any mods planned for it? A set of Airlift springs for the rear leafs would be a great addition, I just put some on my brother's Silverado and he loves them.
