alright

im new to the swift not even picked it up, but im after some jdm style alloys, NO HALFORDS SPECIALS ETC...
the swift is a 1997 1.3 gls 3 door bought as a runabout while my st205 gt4 has some serious engine modifications,

im interested to know what other cars are the same fitment and wheather the gls is the same fitment as the gti... hope to stick around hopefully i wont spend too much on this as im meant to be using to save the money to have the gt4 engine forged, bigger turbo, stand alone etc etc....as i want to make the 400bhp mark.

but considering i fully enjoyed my saxo vts which had been tuned and 150bhp i t probably wont take long untill i start looking what fits in a swift.

cheers anyway
jim

alrite daymoon!!
hows your 3cyl going btw?


welcome to the forum mate, hope you`v got deep pockets mate coz 400 hp aint cheap
and nothing from the vts will fit the swift

cheers for the welcomes i seem to of confused some of you lol,

im after to get the gt4 to 400bhp its currently running 300bhp would of been around the 330bhp mark but i had to sell my hks fcon piggyback and gcc because of work and ive not fitted my fmic, but for that the fully forged engines that have already been done pop up for £1000-£2000 then theres your turbo which again £1000 or so id like to get my own engine forged so that in know everythings been done but we will see, a few guys on gt4oc are aiming for the 380bhp mark on stock internals to see how far they can go which will be interesting, but all in all i estimate about 5k or so to get it close. which is the reason for it coming off the road and getting a cheap run about.

also when i meant my vts i meant i enjoyed how fast it was and that it wont take long untill i start looking at whats involved in an engine conversion and whats worth doing to it, main bit for now though is im after some alloys which i signed up here for, by no means am i a gti wannabe i just wanted to find somewhere to get a nice set of wheels ive got the gt4 when its finnished for fun at trackdays.

that`l teach me for speed reading

sell the vts get a gti dont french cars set on fire everytime you go left and i love it when you speak to someone with a clio or saxo and they say "lowerd on spax springs on the front and 2 clicks on the rear" LMAO get dome pics up of all the cars dude


steve

dont get me started on french cars lol
my m8 has a 306 gti-6 and it doesnt even do a full lock to the right cause the wheel hits the 6speed gearbox,

Id never have a french car unless it was a clio v6 just for the noise and rwd fun lol

i meant gti wannabes as in non gti owners modifying their swift ie. lowering, wheels, gti bodykit etc....

isent that you though
