hey everyone

hey everyone im so glad i found this forum i have been looking for a uk based swift group for time now! im hobo 20 from norfolk had my 1994 mk2 phase2 for about 6 months which i paid £300 bargain!!! since then i have lowered by 40mm suzukird 4 branch mainfold handmade scorpion stainless system and pipercross induction and team dynamics pro race 1.0 in white,but unfortunately my cambelt snapped yesterday so im not going to be able to drive it for a little while bad times!!

Hi and welcome!


upload some pics of your car and good luck with sorting out cambelt!

this is before i lowered it.
this is the day i got it.
and again

Looks tidy


Many plans?

yeah to make it move again lol! then i have a remap chip put that on see where that gets me, its running 111.3 bhp at the wheels which isn't to bad considering its near enough stock, but in the long run i want to rebuild from ground up completely strip it and rebuild hopefully with a nice turbo engine!!! but i think im in it for the long haul coz i got the swift bug bad lol.

Well seeing as cambelt snapped it is likely u will need new valves. If i were you i'd get the head Ported and polished now as its got to be taken off.

i haven't had a look yet but im hoping/praying everything is ok inside i know little to nothing about how engines work but i was literally under 2000 rpm when it snapped and it didn't go with a bang so im hoping i can get away with re timing and changing the belt as money is an issue atm due to being made redundant but if not i think your right thats what i would do if i had to take the head off.

thats unlucky mate, i hope you declutched as soon as you realised it had gone or you will defo need some valves
