More news to follow

Following on from our Suzuki Swift road and track-day projects, we decided to look at entering the 2012 Nippon Challenge and try our hand at racing. Being beginners and with only a small budget available, we decided to use a Suzuki Swift Ignis Sport. The 1.5 M15A engine is very similar to the SSS 1.6 M16A and the car should be quite light when we’ve finished building it.

After driving the Ignis Sport at the sprint, we were very impressed with the way it drove and it’s great fun, so we had to do more. Now it’s having a roll cage fitted at PP Cages – a bolt in 6 point escape dash, with door bars and harness bar, which will soon be available to order from Co-ordSport/Part-Box.
See pictures below, These show the car in pretty basic/standard formation at Blyton with no roll cage. Also shows the progress of the Roll cage fitment at PP Cages.

Whilst the cage is being installed, we’ll be rebuilding the gearbox and fitting a Cusco LSD. The engine will be re-linered out to 85mm, and fitted with Wiseco forged pistons, ACL Race bearings, Big Valve Head (SuperTech Nitrided valves and lightweight “shim under” followers). Those will be working with Kelford cams, and an MTX clutch and lightened flywheel, amongst many other special parts which are under development!)

The new spec Swift Sport car was only launched by Suzuki in the UK last month, but Cusco in Japan has already designed and produced LSDs for the new MY2012 Suzuki Swift Sport, which has a new 6 speed gearbox.

Available in RS or MZ formats, under reference LSD-619-xxx, depending on spec. (1 or 1.5way, RS with coil-springs for pre-load or MZ with cone-spring plates for serious competition).

Retail price £888.73+VAT.

A dealer recently suffered some issues after fitting a DeatschWerks 300LPH pump to a Subaru Impreza. The dealer explained that it appeared that the pump had drained overnight, and the car wouldn’t start straight away, as it seemed the pump required priming (something he had not experienced with other pumps.

We aim to please whatever, and although we can’t always achieve everything that everyone wants, it’s great to get good and positive feedback. A Part-Box enquirer in Mexico was interested in some Rays wheels for his VW Golf. Biggest problem is the distance – freight is getting so expensive now, big things like wheels are expensive to send, so although we could do it, it ended up too expensive, despite those RAYS wheels looking great!

But what put a big smile on our faces was the gentleman’s response to our follow up:

That made our day, thank you !

We’re always happy to hear from our customers and potential customers/fellow enthusiasts, be it good or bad news. If it’s bad news we hope you’ll tell us first, and allow us the chance to put any issues right, if we can. If it’s good news, we really appreciate it and we hope you’ll tell us and others!
