My mum has the sports model, the clutch is so light that I stalled in twice in the first 100m it was embarressing (especially considering her driving school business is advertised all over it).

Once you get some revs into them they are actually quite a zippy little car and fun to drive.

the 'Swine' are getting desparate; the swift is a natty little car but hardly, I reckon, suitable for rough and tumble Police work, perhaps it is only used for administrative chores, ie fetching pies and cakes for 'mornos'!!.

Carefull Changi!!! You may need those "morons" one day!!!!!! They provide a service to the community believe it or not and it's people like you who make their dislike for Jo Blo just that bit worse......

I remember seeing a Z3 Cop car some years ago. I'm pretty sure that companies give these cars to the Police as an advertising thing.. I mean what a better way to get your car noticed. And people would think if it's good enough for the police to drive it must be a good car.....

We are in an economic downturn so all parts of government have to do there part to cut costs.

I have heard that the new hybrid Camry's will be cop cars too? :P

Saw a green Toyota Aurion Sportivo as a highway petrol car with the speed laser gun...

careful RBJET....I wrote 'mornos', common Aussie slang for morning tea/smoko, not 'morons'. as picked up by Samon. the crux of my post was not to have a go at the 'coppers' [slang for police] it was merely to indicate that the suzuki swift is not suitable for police work. unless criminals are using Smarts or Scooters as get- away vehicles, I hardly thing the crims would be overly worried by a Swift pursuit car.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
