Suzuki Swift Sport ZC31 Track Whip

[Coog]

These are sort of half way between a proper harness and the standard belts. CG lock went out of business years ago, so they’re hard to find and tend to sell for stupid money as well.

Had a holiday hiatus there so progress halted for a bit. Booked trackskills for next weekend so really needed to get a move on and not be screwing the thing together midnight Saturday night.

First up was finish the brakes. Dot 5.1 fluid, stainless braided hoses and black diamond predator pads. I really hope the pads are alright, they were recommended to me but I've not seen much information about them online and was kind of stuck with little option given a complete lack of stock anywhere.

Bleeder set up with the new fluid.

Letting the bubbles out

Cheerio old crappy rubber hoses

Pads next. These were done about 3 months ago so I figured it would be handy enough done. Wrong.

Slider isn't going to do much sliding.

Never mind. Can't argue if your almost liquid

Halfords freeze & release spray. It's great. Try it!

And out she came. With some persuasion.

Same story on the lower caliper slider pin on the other side. Nice hard pedal now, no leaks. All seems good.

Next job was change the oil & filter, get the wheels on (finally) and getting it on the ground.

Went for some Millers track day oil for it. Hopefully does it well and will probably change it every other track day anyway.

Last job was check over suspension and fire the wheels on to get it rolling again.

Pretty happy with the height to be honest. Not sure if it'll settle or what. I'll get it a good run out next week to make sure everything's OK before taking it for alignment ahead of Sunday.

Number of other jobs required too. Busy busy! More to come...

'Track day' alignment sorted, which is basically give her as much camber as she'll suffer on the front and dial in the other settings per Suzuki.

Then a chance for a good stage round the countryside to see how things are. So far so good. Proper riot to throw down a back road, absolutely brilliant craic. Looking forward to the first track day on Sunday. Can sense a vibration from the (completely standard) rear brakes after a hot supper so that'll be next on the list and while I'm in there I'll fit a set of Greddy rear camber plates to complete the project.

All set and ready to go.

Absolutely class!

Looks magnificent Craig!

 

[RevT]

Smart looking wee car, wheels look tiny but they’re obviously perfect sizing for what you’re after.

 

[Dan]

I cannot wait to see this on track. These mods are excellent

 

[micko]

Very cool. Looks like a proper little Go-Kart!

 

[PaulYDP]

Looks assume, enjoy the track day!

 

[Boydie]

That is very cool!

 

[Lyons]

Looks superb but the wheels really do look minute! I assume that’s the optimum set up for track purposes?

 

[VOB0]

Very purposeful looking! Just looks ready to be staged.

Yeah pretty much. Light and cheap to replace and stick tyres on. It’s what all the rental companies use too.

 

[DavyC]

Awesome looking wee thing!

 

[bennn]

class looking. bin the rear wiper and motor/wiring for added lightness!

 

[FM155]

Looks the ticket alright and plenty of fun potential for the track days.

 

[Daniel]

As what @bennn said above... I had one if these on my ZC32S but apparently they fit 31s also.

I done a drive up to Spelga and Silent Valley today in the other halfs wee Swift. Completely standard and still brilliant fun wee car. Sharp corner? Don't brake, plant it. They love it. I'm supposed to be looking for a new daily atm but I'm actually trying to find her one so I can take the Swift off her hands

Car is looking purposeful!

The guy doing the work seemed proper excited to be doing your car next he mentioned it about 4 times lol. Had a feeling it was you!

 

[acsmyth]

He spoke very highly of the Swift as well! See you Sunday?

 

[Coog]

Yep looking forward to it!

 

[Todd]
