Hey Guys,

This has been a great reliable little car, which i bought with the intention of making it into a road registered track-day car, but as these things go, an investment opportunity has presented itself, and so the Swift needs to go to a new home.

I purchased the car around a year ago with 141000km on the clock, having looked for months for a genuine car in great condition with working a/c (yep: icy cold!) The previous owner had the entire car resprayed about 18 months before I bought it (insurance claim due to vandals key-scratching every panel), and as such the bodywork and paint are in top condition.

The car was mechanically stock, with the exception of an Apexi air filter, and pretty much the entire Suzitech suspension catalogue (front and rear strut braces, front and rear swaybars, various chassis braces, shocks and springs, bushes, etc). Since then, I have purchased and fitted a sports steering wheel, momo gearknob, JVC cd player with bluetooth and full (wired) ipod control, Kicker front 6" split speakers, Pioneer rear 2-way speakers, Kicker amp, Alpine 12" subwoofer, clear front and side indicators, "Strider" front lip, freshly powdercoated 16" Sparco Tarmac rims with new tyres, and a freshly built and strengthened DMW gearbox with LSD.

Basically, the car is a great little unit as-is, and perfectly acceptable as a cheap to run, reliable, great looking daily driver. However, for those like me who like a bit more individuality and performance, I have a bunch of brand new, refurbished, and excellent condition used parts available at additional cost to the buyer: 15" Momo Arrow wheels with 80% tyres, freshly built (never run) forged engine with low compression pistons, Cultus inlet manifold with SR20 Throttle body, S15 T28BB turbo, 380cc fuel injectors, Sard FPR, Walbro fuel pump, Microtech digi1 computer, boost controller, boost guage, alloy twin core radiator and silcone piping, spare timing cover, spare rocker cover, as well as other odd bits and pieces required for a reliable turbo conversion.

Price:

$5000, plus extras (depending on what is wanted)

    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
