SUZUKI GTi CAR CLUB#
Preserving the Suzuki Swift GTi legacy

The Suzuki Swift GTi in numbers#
Why this archive exists#
In 8 years our club went from ~50 cars to fewer than 15 in good condition. Parts are getting scarce, mechanics who know the G13B engine are retiring, and the knowledge is being lost.
This site gathers everything we've learned over years keeping these little Japanese monsters alive: factory manuals, repair tutorials, proven modifications, parts sources by country, and the worldwide community that preserves them.
If you own a Swift GTi, a JDM Cultus, a Forsa, a Canadian/USA Swift GT, or a Geo Metro with conversion — this site is yours.
