Suzuki underdog build

[Pauluzz]

The project’s been quiet for a while. I’ve been in a break-up (after 6 years), a lot of time and energy wasted on that sh*t. Now a lot of time, energy en money gets wasted on other girls. I just love being single again hah!
Been collecting some parts to continue the engineswap. It will resume in January, deadline is April.

Nice to hear that, enjoy your time

I've converted the volume knob to bass remote

[Pauluzz]

Updates!! Couldn't keep my hands of the daily. Did some maintenance work on the rear strut:










And rolled the arches, put DZ exklusif wheels on it (front 7,5J, rear 9J), and lowered it a bit more (could go lower, but it's still my daily)

[Pauluzz]

And done some more work on the project Swift mk1:

Taken apart the carbs


Ultrasonic cleaned them:




New gaskets and new filters:




Took apart the SSR rims (factory 3-piece and factory welded) well, not anymore!


Drilled some extra boltholes:


Painted the inner lips:



And painted the centers:


Need to order wider outerlips now

Zo die was rot

Daily staat leuk op zijn wielen, maar die getrokken banden en dan nog wat wheelgap...

Maar ik snap het wel .... als daily, maar zou dan zelf niet zo getrokken gaan als ik niet zo laag kon om het te laten tucken

[Pauluzz]

@Suburuuh: Hij is nog wel wat verder ingezakt hoor

After a lot of work today the car finally started! Still needs more finetuning and an exhaust
Most of the not-starting related problems where timing and no fuel from the carbs.

anyone still active in this thread just got a 2002 suzuki esteem and i want mine to look like that! where do i buy the parts i live in the US and cant find shit for parts besides oem.

[Pauluzz]

Yep, still own the Baleno/Esteem


You'll need BC-Racing coilovers for starters! Plenty of suppliers in the US I think. http://www.bcracing-na.com/br-type/#

The mk1 Swift is gettin' there. Still some little things to do. Right now making plugs for the injectors, then some more adjusting to the carbs. Connecting the power windows en power doors, etc.

[Suziwagon]

your wagon is so good looking! cant wait to have mine looking that great!

[Suziwagon]

what size wheels do u have and where can i find a front bumper like yours? in the US theres no lip like yours

[Pauluzz]

The bumperlip is rare OEM. Wheels are 16x7,5 and 16x9, I don't know the ET. Bought them from a friend who had them under his hatch.
