    off topic but those swifts are fast. one of my younger mates who is yet to turn 17 said about one and i laughed and then he showed me some vids of turbo'd 13000's pulling 13s. i soon shut up.

    back on topic why not try and get the corsa sprint injection. ther the european version of the sport iirc 1300 mpi then proper mangement etc look at glens sri in the features although it is a 1400 it shows massive power is achievable. but i think his was bored out?

    finding the 1300 sprint injection system will be like finding rocking horse turds.... and wont really unleash a competative engine...

    i had a Suzuki swift gti for a while and have to say it gave me quite a suprise performance wise, was marginally quicker than two of my mates 205 1.6 gti's from a rolling start, wasn't quite as quick off the mark as couldn't get the traction down (they only way about 4 kg's total i think)

    just a shame the body work rusts on them is worse than that of nova's

    If it has the Nova gearbox. YES it will be the std Nova shafts.

    I saw a pic of a swift lump in a Nova the other day. Had different mountings obviously.

    vaux 1400 16v is the other way to go
    most events are now run upto 1400
    the last time out with my engine the only car in the class that beat us was a full spec gpA car ( we went off on ss1 and dropped 15s so we didnt bother chasing him then ) we beat 3rd in class by over a min and the last in class by 9 mins......suzuki conversion is a good bang for bucks conversion
    are u serious? the last loose event i done, the quickest time set my a friends vti civic was just 3 secs quicker than mine, i na 1300 8v. now im sure it could win a 1400 class
