Do I have any thing to worry about.

[Paul Freemantle]

Some rs in a suzuki swift wants to race. It looks modded from the out side.

What engine/ bhp/ 0.60 etc is on this motor?

 

[bigmoose]

It is a 1300cc car so hopefully you wont.

 

[Tom]

be scared them things are quick for 1300cc

 

[Paul Freemantle]

but does any one know the 0-60 time

do i need to make my excuses or just go out and show him the back of my motor

 

[Adams_16v]

i wouldnt worry mate. 1300cc. quite fast for the engine but Craggy wasted a non standard one in his VTS a couple of weeks back. There is a vid on here somewhere!

 

[Will16V]

I nailed one, suppose theyre pretty quick of the mark for what they are, but seem to top out at 110mph...youll kill it in a 172 i reckon

 

[Mikey16vClio]

A walk in the park, a 172 need not worry against a 1.3, never back down either cause any hatch would have to be special to beat a 172 mate, and if it did then, itd be no shame.

I raced a Scooby WRX last week, a 16vs first gear is very close to a Scooby Turbos (in a rolling start anyway).

lol Swift GTis 1.3 16v twin cam... about 105 bhp standard but they are very very light and flimsy... I think 0-60 is pretty quick but a 172 will kill it. unless its running highly modded... only way to know is to try... if you lose then mod your car lol

 

[Paul Freemantle]

Thanks lads

Swift killing here I go.

 

[mikeherts]

Its 8.9 I think - good luck, although I doubt youll need it

Paul you pussy ( ).. you shouldnt just race cars youre pretty sure you can beat!

 

[JillyB]

Paul, be gentle!

Apart from that you can get a 270bhp turbo conversion from a company called AVO.

Theyre not too hard to get to 150bhp (forged pistons, blueprinting, cam etc). Many owners use small HKS/Garrett turbos for 250bhp-300bhp.

Id be scared, very scared.

 

[Tom]

Lol 270bhp!!

in a car made from paper and bike parts!!

 

[RobFenn]

lol

Theyre popular in Oz, some have 400bhp, out of a 1.3!!!

 

[RobFenn]

Heres one by GRD (circa 400bhp)
