Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Bolted my oil pump with reimax gears on my block tonight. Next step is to fit the nitto oil drain to the head and start looking at doing valve springs. Anyone know of a decent brand that does springs for neo heads?

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

Looks good except for that weirdo reflection thing going on there.

Today, I drove the 31 and the 33 and didn't put a spanner to either of them.

My Free 27mm Sway bar bushes arrived too.

Maybe spanners tomorrow...

A lot of DIYérs - all doing great stuff

Well I have a Suziki Swift GA (1992) with a listed power level of 39kws at the fly. (1litre and 3 Cylinders)

This is seriously a NO frills car. No PS, A/C, Radio (with only 1litre it cant really power headlights - LOL)

Asked my neighbour yesterday if it ran and what he was doing with it as it hadn't moved since July last year.

He responded it wasn't running and he was quoted $1000 to fix. So he de-registered it as these aren't worth much more running.

Asked him how much he wanted and he said take it !, as even the wreckers said they would charge him to tow it away.

So I pushed it up to mine and checked it out

Found the Cat had collapsed (hence why he said it had no "power" before it stopped, Air filter was full of chaff ! , dead battery, Windscreen crack right across the screen and the kicker .............................. No fuel

The paint work is all oxidised badly (not hard to clean up).

So went to try start it with the jump pack. Main fuse blew while trying to turn it over and I realised the fuel gauge didn't move off Empty.

Today on the way home I got some fuel and a new 60amp relay fuse. Now she runs (the lawn mower sounds better and has more grunt too)

Shame it wasn't a GTi (1.3ltr). They came out with forged internals and are easily turbo'd.

None the less a small project to tinker with
