Rides - Suzuki Swift '91

here the short story...one of my ex-wife...a Suzuki Swift '91

been using it for 3years since 2004 while doing my Degree

its a replacement for my mini which been daily abused for 3years

all i need is cheap 4door Jap car...which i have few option in my mind at that time either

a Suzuki Swift...Toyota Starlet...Daihatsu Charade

while lookin for the good condition daily-thrash car 

coincidently....one one my dad fren is lettin go his wife car...a standard Suzuki Swift 1.0cc...

consider it a bargain for me RM4,000 in 2007 for an accident free car....

with the car keys changin hand...my journey began

small facelift been done to the car...convert it to GTi look including the heart transplant

its the interior that i left to convert...

at that time..CULTUS set is rare..little bit pricey for me as student..using the ET seat till i sold the car....

thats where funny things happen...which i came across 1 pair Cultus seat a month after i sold this car...

i ended buying it for the ESCUDO project

here few memories of trouble & glitches along the way

 

  

 

i even rolled on few rims while using for the car....these SSR 3pc splitties are my favourite

trial mode with the 

staggered 2pc-splitties Black Racing & 2pc Advan Rims

the final rim...before i let-go the car...Sprint Hart CF

a lot of memories with this car......really miss it

Project - S a G a - I z z Y

last weekend activity was packed attending openhouse & project.car

and.....i miss coverage for GRA & Autoshow...

started my early saturday morning shopping for new wheels for my fren Izzy

need to update the look...from the steelies to alloy wheels

we went to Klang...and after 3shops...finalise option for this two

not a big fan of cheap.copy wheels...but limited student budget we need to roll in style

settled with the funky-orange wheels...classic look with polished lips

its a fake SPARCO wheel ...a staggered set sizing

Front - 15in x 7in Wide x ET40

Rear - 15in x 7.5in Wide x ET35

 

need to use 1/2inch spacer for clearance for front & rear...we're changing the brake.pad as well

 

while waiting for the rim to be installed...snap some car pics around the shop

most of it own by the shop staff

includin this Honda Civic EK9

other interestin car rolled in for fresh rubber

 here the final look...we need to lower the front...too much gap.......next

the rear arch need to rolled for clearance issue

my fren dumped his ol'swift for this Subaru Impreza....

 main plan is to start this pOcket-rOcket...
a Suzuki Swift....which been abandoned since 2009

 already convert to G13b heart...

 been abandoned so long....someone even consider it for scrap
