“Great basis for a surprise car, the body is ugly but...”

written by José Clopatofsky. on 09/07/2003

Good Points
The engine is brilliant. I prepared a car on full race spec, fiitng a T25 .60 Garret turbo on the 1.000 c,c, engine. Is intercooled, twin water radiator, oil cooler, shorter gears (3t, 4th and 5th)tyeres 185/60x13 on 7 inches wheels, special springs and shocks. We are currentlyy beating the Swift GTI 1.3 (full race) in our track near Bogot . It points 145 hp at the wheels with 12 psi of boost. I still have standar brakes and the work just in the limit. Planning bigger callipers and discs.

Bad Points
For street use, rear suspension is very bumpy and unconfortable.
If you tune the engine, be aware that you can not repair it because there are not oversise bearings avalaible. You need to change the crankshaft.
Front wheel hubs are very weak and break frequently.

General Comments
Great basis for a surprise car, the body is ugly but performance on all conditions is great.
