Hi Guys. :) Been a bit quiet on here of late - I've had an incredibly busy 6 months or so just gone, and late in August - about 5 weeks before we were due to go away on a 6 week vacation, the 'Boy 's motor shit itself for the third time. :x I always said if it ever went again, it would come out and ...

So. I have a fair collection of bits and pieces: Have: * My car - complete and running but with a very sick F5a in it, about to come out - bog standard & manual. * A complete and sweetly running Suzuki 800 Auto donor. * Another F8b motor (from a manual) extracted about three years ago - complete...

Colour-wise I like the original dark blue (metallic I hope). Would look nice with those mags.

Could also be the carby icing up. I had issues with this - Be driving for well over an hour and the car would slowly get 'constipated' until it would just stop and die. Sit there for 5 minutes, and it'd start up again and run fine for another 10 minutes or so, and then same again. I live in Melbourn...

Having said that, I do also believe there are a FEW cars in Australia that have had aircon fitted. No Dasboa...

Yeah, nice.. How's your dad getting on with #1? - Gonna be able to coax him into bringing it to Albury 2015?

Nice. Looks pretty stock. and personalised plates too...

And so now might be a good time to read this article...:

IIRC
The block doesn't have 'suzuki' cast into it anywhere - it does have 'F5A'.
The only place you might find the work 'Suzuki' on a complete engine will be embossed into the rocker cover.

Cheers

There's one on Ebay right Now...

Welcome Ty & Jordan. :thumbup2: Mighty Boys make excellent first-car-projects and hopefully, someone on the forum should be able to help with most things. If you're planning to make a project of the car, perhaps you could start a thread specific to the project Under "Suzuki Projects" w...
