ok i was doing a gasket change on my G10 and was looking for torque specs but apparently the guide on redlinegti was only for g13 since g10 only came in sprints and metros so i came across this engine manual for the g10, so if anyone needed any info mechanically on the g10 engine here's a link to a manual for u guys..

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had to do over my entire suspension and parts real hard. But Mathuras in St. James had parts. But you don't know of any scrap yards that scrapping any swifts dred? Or and do you know of any reasonable a/c men, I rellllll needing a/c.

The swift a/c system may be very similar to that in the baleno....why don’t you give it a check out and see?

Thanks alot fellas. A man say that he can do over the entire AC for 1k. It sounds good to me. Anyone did any mods recently to their swift?

recent mods....
Super pro Poly bushings....
ACT clutch an PP
Ronaldo.. $1k is a good price for the AC.. You could also check Neils Cool art in the bamboo (just opposite the savannah)... they did my AC and so far no complaints... ( i did my own electrical, so i cant vouch for their electrical installation abilities)

I would try to check them. We should make a 97' suzuki swift lime dred. Make a day so that we could see each other swift.

boy aparrently that is the toughest thing to get, but i found someone in the bamboo that had one powered for $800 -ish
didnt buy it cuz mines was a manual and the engine didn't have space for a pump.i think it was bicks.but look around not too far from car city and you'll find the place.
i repaired my old one by sending it to a machine shop to rebush..dunno how long it would last tho but its been about 7 months now and no problems..just one damaged tooth on the rack so the pinion gear skips that one on heavy lock turns..some machine shops may not wanna do the job seeing it as a tough job so if u have a good mechanic with a machine shop link i'd recommend it otherwise try a baleno rack conversion, someone asked me about trying a pride steering rack but i'm unsure to if it'll work..
