A lil more progress with some help from some lil friends :-)

GTi build - inside stripped

finally got the inside stripped for replacement of interior carpet and started painting on the repaint of the interior plastic panels in hammered black, but the color is more like charcoal hammer, but im still happy with the outcome of the color.

My new GTI build project

This is my new GTi build. This is a 1990 mk2 GTi with a WRX front bar (looks awesome imo). i obtained this lil beast from a friend of mine who bought my old 2007 M18A swift sport :-( the poor lil car has been sitting in his garage for the last 12 months doing nothing! At the moment im waiting for a TPS to arrive to fix the idling issue and throttle response lag. After i can get it running my aim is to get the interior cleaned up, registered and on the road and after that i will do the engine and engine bay, so this will be a working progress which i will post on as i get things done...... so here are some pics.....

DMW Dave Runs 10.80@135MPH

DMW Motorsport - recommended mechanic

Since being a swift owner since 2006 all my mechanical work if not done by myself has always been done by Dave Homer (proprietor) from DMW Motorsport. Dave had many years in the performance automotive arena, specialising in most  models of 'Suzuki' especially the Swift. Dave currently has the fastest swift in Australia running in the 10's for the quarter mile. Dave has done the conversion of my 2007 swift from the M16a to the M18a engine and also built my current mk3 swift with the M18a Turbo conversion.

For anyone that has the opportunity to get their work done by Dave, that is looking for a reliable mechanic to work on their suzuki, or any spare parts definitely get in touch with Dave from DMW Motorsport. you won't be disappointed!

M18A mk3 GTI Turbo Swift

Now this car is a one of a kind and only one ever done as far as i'm aware. This mk3 Swift GTI was converted to run a 1.8 ltr VVT engine with a hybrid TD04 Turbo. Also fitted was a XR6 intercooler hidden behind the front bar, stand alone engine management ECU, 2.5" exhaust, BOV, larger injectors, heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel, forged internals. At the moment i am only running 10psi but am looking at running 15psi once i upgrade the inlet manifold (standard manifold is too restrictive). currently it is a pretty quick car to drive coming on boost at round 2300rpm pulling hard till about 6000rpm. she has more torque than an standard Evo 9 at 4000rpm (340nm) all in a car that weighs a smidge more than 800kgs, so she wheelspins quite easily in 1st 2nd and 3rd.

I just wanna say thanks to Dave (a.k.a the mad scientist) from DMW Motorsport for building this lil pocket rocket, this is truely one awesome lil car!!!!! :-)

...... more to come...... stay tuned

2007 M18A Swift Sport

This had the 1.8 ltr engine from a liana combined with a lightened flywheel, heavy duty clutch, larger injectors, CAI and sprint booster. also fitted were coilovers, 18" rims and aftermarket vented bonnet.
