Hello from Madras and Coventry

Hello guys

I'm a thorough petrolhead from Madras, India. I'm currently doing my masters at Coventry University.
I drive a 16 valve SOHC swift sedan back home. Wanted to find fellow swifters in the UK and thats how I got onto this site.
The swift sedan was last produced in 2007 in India. But, it still reigns as the car to win national racing championships with. I'll post a few pictures shot by friends and acquaintances of the championship races.

Nice motor mate I'm after two front driveshafts for a 1600 sedan. Do you no any good websites that sell spares ???

Is it for a G16B?
The G16B came in the Baleno that found limited success in India due to its initial pricing.
Due to the low numbers, Maruti Suzuki decided not to localise a lot of the parts. Hence, a lot of spares are SGP (Suzuki Genuine Parts) mostly imported from Japan. Very expensive and difficult to source.
There are no online motor parts store in India.
I would suggest you try other sources where the car was successful commercially. Japan or South east asia.

Iv found two places that supply the shaft Im just trying to find some more company's that dos them cheaper
