| That rear diff is a tad bit pricey in the Pound-Yen conversion rate. I've read that there is a member here who swapped in a Swift GTI engine, but I've not been able to find a picture thread or more information about it. As much as I'd like a Busa swap here in Japan (I still haven't found out if its street legal to do a bike engine swap or not), I am thinking that a Swift GTI turbo swap may be more practical. I will now join the ranks of the legion of others here who are awaiting new YouTube videos the whet our dreams. |

I think Kei has a reverse for sale if you still consider a Busa conversion
For the swift GTI turbo video you'll have to be patient, the roads are too wet nowadays

| Sadly, here too. Luckily though, the rain held off over the weekend at Tsukuba's track day. Wonder what a 1.2L turbo Capp could pull around the track. Sub-1min is the magic mark. |

Haha look at he background - the blue pattern, Imagewheels can't do 16's as a deep dish so will try rotiform, as they have some similar stuff.
The thing in the picture is called the 'Devel 16' - powered by a V16 claimed 5000bhp.

| Some good news today, the Elite diff MX200IL was tested and uprated from 270Nm to 340Nm - so a diff swap is not necessary, just a re-map!!! |

Bringing this awesome thread back from the dead. I wanted to ask if anyone knew about the possibility of using a newer Suzuki WagonR Stingray's/Kizashi flappy paddle for use on a bike powered car.
Does one have to use a custom setup like half-9 or can one just modify parts off a wrecked car?
I'm probably wasting my time, but I sent an enquiry to Monster Sport about working a deal to use the car for marketing purposes to help defray my costs. We'll see if I get a follow up response and if anything can happen.

Update:
I've had to have a Gen 2 gearbox installed following the demise of the gearbox that came with the engine. I am told the failure had nothing to with the power output or the geartroinics install. the particular component which failed is unrelated.
There is a new propshaft going in which will hopefully have less vibrations associated to it compared to the last two.
I will take photos of the underneath of the car and post them here - and as much detail I can get on them. This is the biggest drawback/challenge associated to this conversion, so anyone doing the conversion needs to consider this before proceeding.
My theory - which is wholly mine and I'm not an engineer - is that the virbations from the propshaft caused the gearbox failure. I can't say for certain and the info I have been given doesn't support my theory. I think the angle the propshaft runs betwen gearbox & rear diff is just too sharp, but anyway that's just my theory and little can be done about it now.
I'm really hoping the car is sorted when I get back - summer 2015. I've asked Zcars to do a video on it so I can see it in action before I take delivery.
The guys there are supportive, and I hope they test the n*ts off it before giving it back to me, as its been a long and very expensive road.
If you're part way through doing the conversion I would encourage you to take a trip up to Zcars and take a look at the cappo, and speak to them to see what lessons can be learned.

The best solution for big angle is a 3 parts prop. I have 2 parts prop but if I found a competent person that's what I'll do
Before decembre I'll test a 2 parts equilibrated |

I've been told I am getting a 'rubberised propshaft'.

The builder of my Swift 1300 GTI-turbo cappuccino also experimented with a bike engine (fireblade) but cancelled the project because the vibrations and constant high revs made driving unbearable. He then installed a 1600 Swift GTI which was too powerful, after the dowgrade made the car the agile and balanced ride which it is today. I expect to have the cappuccino road legal mid August.

Balance is so important. Making power is easy but handling is where the real skill is required. |

WOW! I retract my previous statement about there never being too much power. 380hp is more than sufficient for that size car....street car. I'd be super happy to have a K12b turbo making 300hp at the crank.
I go back to my earlier inquiry because I honestly don't know - can a Wagon-R/Kizashi (or other Suzuki) flappy paddle set-up be made to work in a Cappuccino or is going with a Geartronics the only way?
I ask because it looks far cheaper on Yahoo Japan Auctions to get a used flappy out of a wrecked car and a transmission from a Jimny (both AT and manual depending on what the flappy paddle would require - I'm not an engineer.....obviously). |

OK.
First, thanks for all the comments and apologies as I've not replied, I haven't logged in for a long time.
Every summer I return to the UK in the hope that I will be able to draw a line under this project and drive the car to my heart's content.
I have the same hope now. So please wish me luck and maybe, just maybe I can have that drive this summer.

I was reading the article on pistonheads (again), its an inspiring performance car what surprises me is that with all the 330 BHP's its max is 145MPH.
I have tried to max mine in its current state (approx 170 BHP as its downtuned for emission testing) and although it still accellerates ridiculous, I measured max speed with GPS to be 200 km/h. In such a light small car it's both hands on the wheel. |
