Light went out by itself. Definitely a batch of BAD gas. Changed gas station, good to go now. wish we could get 98 at the pump.... a dream in the Caribbean lol.

SuzukiMan365

Thanks Pete. Im using the stock filter. I think the problem was bad gas. The octane booster fixed the hesitation/sluggishness. Ill be thinking twice before going back to that gas station....

SuzukiMan365

Asked my mechanic about it the same day. He was suggesting the O2 sensor or cat being clogged. Our 95 octane fuel isnt the best for these cars either. Needless to say, the light turned off by itself later the same day. Gonna get the car serviced soon (to help sluggishness?), but in the mean time im ...

Today the emissions warning light came on as I was flooring it in second gear (felt sluggish by the way) with three ppl in the car. Car has been using 95 octane for most of its life (except for a few times i threw in some octane booster), as its the only fuel we get. Any one has any thoughts on how ...

In case you have not seen this video before, its from best motoring 1990. Watch and see how the Cultus gti performs against its rivals. Tell me what you guys think.

Has anyone here every used one of these to check car performance? Im using Ulysse Speedometer. In addition to the speedometer, it can tell you your 0 - 60 and 1/4mile times. Most reviewers say its pretty accurate. (dont expect 100%) Try it out and let us know what you think!

SuzukiMan365

it bess?? Could someone expound on the power delivery or driving feel with the chip plz?

SuzukiMan365

Badly want the chip!! How does the chip compare to the stock ecu(on a near stock gti) on caribbean fuel(95 octane)? anyone here chipped their gti?

I NOW have Power Windows!! :D Created my own circuit using 2 DPDT switches, Cigarette lighter adapter, 20A fuse, wires and electrical tape lol. Its temporary(ish) (twist and tape) but IT WORKS!! Breeze in the cabin feels nice 8-) Those two empty slots left of the steering wheel come in real handy!

Some interesting ideas here.

SuzukiMan365

What material is best for the intake hose? metal, rubber, pvc pipe? Got to try my friends window switch and it didnt work. so switch is not the problem. Im really stumped now. Can anyone tell me which fuse (where its located) is for the power windows? I have half a mind just to wire up my own DPDT s...

SuzukiMan365

At present i have a stock throttle body and intake hose. Took it for a drive and loved the induction noise after 4000 rpm :wink: . Cant tell if its any faster lol. I got the idea after reading the teamswift thread above 8-) . Today i took off my door panels to see if the power window motors work. Ho...

Another question. How restrictive is the gti's factory airbox and snorkel? Today im performing an experiment where ill take off the front of the airbox and use some duct tape to keep the drop-in k&n filter in place. Taking it for a drive tonight. What you guys think?

SuzukiMan365

Thanks for the info. This week been having trouble starting the car, battery issues i think. The other day a bus cut me off at the traffic lights and i stalled out. When trying to start there wasnt enough power to turn over the engine. Thankfully a man helped me out by pushing so i could jump-start ...

SuzukiMan365

Well i patched the hole....not pretty but it works. Mechanic who changed seals used honda parts. Took it for a drive today and reved to near 7000rpm. Still be needing replacement though. Here are some pics.

Does the swift gs have the same distributor?

SuzukiMan365

i dont know i didnt touch it. just wrapped it with the electrical tape

SuzukiMan365

is this the same rtv silicone?

SuzukiMan365

Thanks alot man!! Went for a spirited drive last night....and this is what i saw this morning :shock: What could have caused this damage?? The car still starts up without problems, I put some electrical tape around the distributor to seal the hole.... but a new distributor is now on my list of thing...

SuzukiMan365

500 rpm i think. Distributor seal and oilpan seal fixed today. Mechanic says it needs gearbox seal(s) where the shaft enters the gearbox. What do these look like? Where to buy? pics if any.

SuzukiMan365

Thanks for the info. Question: is it possible for rev-counter to "slip"? Ive noticed it once or twice now...say im in 2nd gear then i slowly press the pedal to the floor, at 5000rpm the needle drops down slightly (sound of revs continues to climb) then the fuel cut comes in at around 6500r...

SuzukiMan365

Alrite cool. Can the rtv silicone be used for other seals? And since my friend looking for a windshield, will the windsheild from a swift gs fit?

SuzukiMan365

ok cool. Can i use the rtv on other engine seals? In other news...........I ran into a friend today whose fixing up his gti. Bodywork need alot of work, need a new windshield etc. He says hes got a g13 head on a G16 block. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this setup? (more torque but less re...

SuzukiMan365

Thanks for the info on oil pressure sensor. Concerning the injectors, no injector flush only a bottle of injector cleaner. The local dealership does not have a service department. The parts department doesnt even have parts. (i dont even think those guys that work there now even know what the engine...

SuzukiMan365

Thanks for the info. One more question....Whats the sensor just above the oil filter? Oxygen sensor maybe? it doesnt appear to be in the exhaust stream. Concerning the timing advance, the arrows dont quite line up, it about a mm advance already. (toward the rear of the car im asuming) No problem wit...

SuzukiMan365

Thanks man. Does advancing the timing change the power band?

SuzukiMan365

Can someone tell me what these wires/sensors are? Is this timing too far advanced? see pics.

SuzukiMan365

yep. Wet kit is the best way to go.

SuzukiMan365

I have a 35 shot on my SSS. I use it very rarely, but when i do it surprises those honda civic guys. Changes it into a mid 15 sec car. May up it to a 50 shot but not anytime soon. Lots of fun as is. Use sparingly.

SuzukiMan365

I hear u. but nitrous is not just for drag racing. Maybe it can help get u out of trouble, like passing a truck on roads with few passing opportunities.....Any thoughts?
