introduce your self

hi all welcome to uk-ssgti hope you enjoy the forum introduce yourself why not post some pics of your ride as well

hey steve, you may know me from Teamswift as (G10) as i've seen you there a bit aswell.
what made you start another forum? (with suzuki4u etc)

Good to be here..we'll have to recruit a few more heads!!!

Good luck!

dont really like suzuki 4u i wanted to recreate ukswift like the old days plus e need a uk based gti forum as lets face it it was the bsest ever suzuki if ya ask me

Heya steve, its good to see a new forum, theres always plenty of room for more in th suzuki brotherhood.
Id like to say that it would be nice to attract some of th international swift modifiers to the table...in particular th columbian drag racers and th denmark hevily modified street cars.
ill see what i can do by emailling th ones i know of, but yea, there are some very different adaptations of the modifying discipline shown in these countires...always nice to see something fresh
Bewitched Gti, im on Relinegti.com, suzuki-forums,Teamswift..and i once frequented Ukswift....back in th day.
my gti is constantly evolving (im up to my third gti now) ill eventually get one completed the way ive set out to do, but yea, fundage and time constraints have hampered y efforts so far...but id like to think im building something different fromt h rest of th world....a fully chromed enginebay....nice paint, a one off bodykit and a car that well integrated, all th modifications work in unison to improve th basic suzuki design, without losing that 90s GTi flavour...
Thats th plan anyhow
Ive learnt a lot over th years by doing it myself, and ive been advised by some of th best informed people i could find...not to mention stuck up a lot of longlasting frendships along th way
I may never actually meet all th swift owners in person...but i enjoy introducing myself to anyone interested in our little cult car all th same.
If I can pass on any pearls of wisdon, make it a little easier for others (ive done most of my work ALONE) then im happy to oblige....
im no guru, but im working on it
bewitched as im commonly known, or B to friends...
my real name is Steve Cormie.....
Thanks for th invite steve, i look foward to browsing this forum as i have many others.
Attached is a pic of me recently with my daughter, shes a budding mechanic....hopefuklly one day she`ll be steering a nice GTi too....although it`ll be a classic by th time shes old enough to drive


-Bewitched
Browse th forum, when ive got "presentable" pics fo my gti (a work in progress...lol)ill post them here for all to see.....

Hi, I'm Edd and i've owned my gti for nearly four years. previously i've owned mini's and an austin 1300GT among other things. I'm a builder/stonemason and live near Hereford and am at the moment trying to form a club for gti's in my area. any takers?. sorry about the plug
cheers.

hi my names Ben ive got a mrk2 phase1 in white, i live live in leominster, Herefordshire so im pretty close to iain j from shrewsbury and Ed from Hereford, maybe we should meet up for a burn down the A49 haha. any way ive had my swift for about a year, the head gasket went a month after i bought it, cost me £1300 in parts to rebuild, im constantly fighting to keep it out of the scrap yard. scared the shell is going to rot from beneath me.

Hi im jack 20 from Hereford. Used to have a phase 1 gti, sold that a couple of months ago and now the proud of a phase 2! Hello Edd sory i havent been in contact mate! Used to be a member of UKswift and using suzuki4u too.
Think were having a meet this weekend in Hereford if anyones interested not sure when and were exactly.

hi Jack, good to hear from you again. I've seen your swift about, looks a nice one mate! Regarding the meet I was thinking of sunday afternoon in leominster because Ian's traveling down from Shrewsbury and it saves him a few miles. can you make that? regards edd.

Alright boys My names Ben Had swifts since i was 16. I a curently driving a f reg black gti. Bit of a change to the white ones i usually have. I live near Aberystwyth. Nice to have a new site to talk on.

Hi m8 and wlecome to the forum

Another Welshie here, Dan from Bangor North Wales!

Currently driving my Second MK2 PH2 and wouldn't have it any other way (until I can afford to insure an ITR anyway )

my name is wez
i bought my first swift gti 2 months ago. 91 mk2 in white. was in the body shop for 5 weeks for SOME welding. now just tarting it up on the outside and having some new wings put on, and the second respray of the year. while the car is having that done iam working on my second engine which is going turbo.
good to have another forum......

Hello all.
My name's Can. I have owned my 90 gti for over 10 years now. Its become a part of me and i wouldnt have it any other way. Man i love these cars. Yes its a bit tatty now, and yes the doors creek and yes the windows wont wind up properly but boy dose it have soul! 18 years old and still going strong. I have allways dreamed/promised myself that i would one day fix her up like new but lack of funds and expertese (hense fear) has always been stopping me. Well i still have neither but i am seriousley thinking about making a start soon.
I think its great to have a UK based site for like minded people to meet and exchange ideas/wisdom. I have been on Teamswift for years and love the site but its difficult to really feel a part of the comunity when its mainly US/Canada based.
Its nice to think that there are like minded people who share my passion in the UK.

Thanks guys
