To all the people in this thread that claim to have seen one, get the pictures and location up so I can go and have a look myself Carlos, wow thats a clean swift ! I like it a lot! Does your engine have G16A cast onto the side of it, near the transmission? I am led to believe even the G16A engines are really g16B in our cars. I am impressed with your individual carbs/itbs, where did you get the manifold for that? Was your car originally a carb? The Swift front bumper was found on some 2door gti. I am not sure where you could get the sideskirts/rear bumper though. What about australia? Regards Mark

Regards Mark Thanks Xchipx, I'm really glad you like it, I'm trying to improve it even more, keeping her as original as possible. 1. Yes, on the block you can see a number with the G16A prefix. Ill take a picture of it and post it, now seems important due the rarity of this babies. 2. Carbs, this was a necessary change. Originally it came with a Stromberg Carb(Factory), but after 17-18 years of great performance it simply completed its vital cicle I'll say. Installing an Original Carb was expensive, and I thought it was not worth it... A very cheap option was to replace it with an old Mazda323 Carb, but it would've lose performance, which I didn't want to lose at all. So I decided to go beyond that and installed this Mikuni Carbs which greatly improved its perfomance, and I love them so far. (Buying and installing the original Carb, would ve cost more than my current 4 Carbs setup) The Mainfold was Custom made, here in Medellin, Colombia. As we speak, this car is running beautifully, and tomorrow is going for an improvement session for the engine. I'm fully replacing its ingnition system with an MSD system. I'm taking it to a basic racing setup....maybe not so basic..
