The Story Of My SJ

Post by Famerbennie » Fri Feb 22, 2013 7:22 pm

About 2 years ago i decided that the standard 970 was lacking in power so brought a 413 of ebay and the engine transplant and breaking began

very nice so far, I was just wondering why you went for the 1.3 instead of the 1.6? I though the difference between 1.0 and 1.3 was so small it's not really worth doing it, but I am more than ready to be told otherwise by someone that knows from experience :D
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

A 1.3 lump really is a vast improvement over the 1.0

I struggled to hit 65 in a 410, got 90 out of a 413!

by the way, I'm not jealous much of the gear and garage you have at hand!
