91 Swift GT (**Need info Fast**)
« on: October 24, 2007, 06:55:08 AM »
can someone give me some info on this ride. I found one cheap and am thinking about grabbing it.

my big question: Is this the Swift that was actually swift, and got good gas mileage, or is it just a good mileage ride.

Thanks,
Zig

Yes, It is still a Zuki
Does it have the 4 banger 1.3l?
Is it the GT or GTI?
Only the first few years were Suzuki 87-93 I do believe.

I loved My Swift GT (until my now ex wife ran it into a truck) What a sweet little ride, 100hp high rpm duel cam Hemi engine, with a close ratio 5 speed, excellent suspension and handling, and 35 mpg it doesn't get much better. and with mods I have heard that the engine will put out a easy 200hp. met a guy with a hopped up swift gt. When he got on it I swear the only thing keeping the front tires on the ground was that it was FWD

I think the GT was the sporty model and the GTi was the screamer.

The GTI was made in 89 at which time Volkswagen had a fit. Starting in 90 they changed the name to GT All the HP numbers were the same for all years.

as said the GTI and GT are the same but the GTI is slightly lighter. any GT is a fun car! I've had two. they scream to 7000 RPM easily and if you put some 15" rims and low pro tires 195-45-15 I had it will corner unreal. I picked up a header and it helped as well. check out www.teamswift.net

There was a suzuki swift 1.3 parked behind my tracker at the college the other day. It looks like a fun car, but right now I only have room to park one car, so I cant have 2 cars right now ::)
Runnin' it stock with 225/75R15s and an unmodified 8valve TBI motor (I need a doug thoroley header and a cam) (more power) (1.6 liters of madness) (vroom + sewing machine sounds)

Go for it Zig! I had one new back in 91 - added urethane bushings, springs, strut bars etc. The thing handled like it was on rails. Nice and quick off the line too.
