My AWD Swift GTI

Just had a look at that Nippon challenge, with 250 BHP at the flywheel the car has to weigh more than 1010kg, I don't think I could fit enough cement in the back

lol can't you tune it down to be eligable? and i bought my first stainless system of a guy he raced a swift turbo in it and you could check the 750mc they have a few weird and wonderful series

plus just had alook and on the nippon challenge site super gt class

Will do the Sprinting / Hill climb this year & see how that goes, also some trips to the Pod

My new seats turned up today

Think I need to hide this months credit card statement, bloody red wine

Nice one, carbon kevlar???.

They are Kevlar/GRP, on the bottom it says they weigh 7.6kg each

7.6 kg fuckin hell thats heavy should have bought my old blue ones 5kg each lol

They are about the lightest seats with padding money can buy, I like some comfort

my carbon kevlar Recaro seats have 2.5kg stamped on the side but ive weighed them and there nearly 3kg

Spent all weekend working on him, so update:

Cultus Cams fitted:



Set about putting him on a diet, managed 20kg from sound proofing & unwanted bits, add the 15kg saving on the seats & he is now 35kg lighter.


Nitrous install started



External cutout fitted & plumbed in fire extinguisher



Added the 16v stickers, he now looks like this:

looking goog jerry but whats with the stickers lol starting to look more race car than subtle modded mini

It is becoming a race car

My new light weight heater turned up today, only weighs 1150g


Cut the fuel tank in half, should save another 5kg:)

thats gunna leak like a bitch

Weekend update, new seats fitted, changed dash for MattG's old one, new heater fitted, gearstick raised by 5" to suite my driving position & loads of other bits:











Cut down petrol tank painted, will fit this next week:

Little update:
Bulkhead has been re-done, wiper motor moved etc


Dash coming along nicely with the Haltech Racepack dash:)

how much fuel fits in the fuel tank now its chopped?

surely a new gear knob would reduce a bit of weight ? i cant stand the original, just doesnt feel right in my hand so i went for a cheapo metal one from poundstretcher i think it was. cheap but effective. I've been watchin this thread for a few weeks now, im suprised how much a swift can change into a racing swini (swift-mini) big thumbs up for the hard work

well since he cut the tank in HALF i'd say it fits roughly HALF of what normal justy's tank fits, of course i could be wrong...

The tank takes just under half the amount of fuel, it will hold more than enough for my needs. I like the standard gear stick especially in its new position

well i know its half!! but how many litres? i dont know what a justy tank holds

I would guess about £20.00 worth, so not much, but then I will be carrying far less weight

£20 worth you mean 1 gallon

Hi,

I think Swift/Justy tank is 31 litre tank.
So it will be 15 litres... so not far off £20.
