[dave_bristol]

Thought i would stick up a post in here showingmy cars from first to current,

Fitsy off my first car, a 1990 mini city, 1litre, absoloutly ace car,

loved it to bits but sold to buy my next car:

not so standard swift gti, had 141BHP proven, brilliant car but i sold it to buy the starlet due to rust underneath

Then i bought myself a project mini,

but quickly lost interest due to the starbo

Yes mate the Swift is feckin sweet, 141bhp? Guaranteed to shift!! was it running on Throttle bodies?

[dave_bristol]

out of the box the starlet was quicker standard v standard but very close, but the swift handled a load better, but mine was a lot quicker, and it loved revving, no throttle bodies, Engine

[dave_bristol]

Gotta love that swift

[Idrees]

My cousins got a Swift GTI, spec list is same as urs apart from the Spark Leads lol. He says he gets a much butter buzz from driving his GTI than his Starlet GT! But the engines gone on the Swift, and some mofos have fucked up all the bodywork, its had a 2 tone paint job but should be back on road soon!

[dave_bristol]
