There was a Rally Suzuki Swift, if I remember right.

Bob Anderson also rally's a swift gti currently. He doesn't go to all races though.

The body of Dan's old swift is dead but it's heart beats on. The guy that bought it from Jason pulled out the engine and put it into another swift. That guy is Bob Anderson. He drives the hell out of that car!!! It's prepped and ready to be logged. He has a blast out there with it.

Got any spare parts around?
I just picked up a 94 Metro and was wondering where you got some of your suspension components and such.

Yep. As far as I know the Motor and Rally Suspention are about the only things on Bob's car that used to be in my Swift. Alot of history on that old car.

Here are some pictures from its hayday as a Stage Rally Car.

Before I bought it in 2000 it was a very quick little Improved Touring car and before that when it was brand spankin new it was a factory backed Ice Race car.

I am pretty sure that the Body that Bob has running right now is not a GTi. I think it is a couple of years newer than that and is actually a 91-93 Swift GT.

If I could have found a Suzuki Cultis Drivetrain to import over here I would have never sold the car. (Cultis sold down under, some in Japan and was a Swift only AWD Turbo!)

I can probably send you in the right direction to look for something but I have absolutly nothing left from the swift.

The suspention was custom made and cost over 3k so more than likely not what you are looking for. I will post up a couple of the Swift Fourms and other sites later on so you can at least search for what you want.
