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. :D

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...

Well I have a Suziki Swift GA (1992) with a listed power level of 39kws at the fly. :woot:(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 :w00t: (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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
