Been a while since ive been on here as my Alto has been parked up for some time due to slipping clutch issue and all the aftermath of the big earthquake here in Christchurch which we are still trying to get over with road works and major home insurance issues 2+ years on. I finally pulled the motor ...

My old post but i thought i would update for any works owners. There is a white 2 pin connector that is capped and sits near the carbon cannister and the coil on the bulkhead. I fitted a small diode across that connector and it happily flashes out any fault codes. My original code ended up being the...

Yea and here's me thinking someone with an Alto Rsr loves me enought to pm me .....
Not into Russiun Brides hehehe

I got one and hit the link to see what the pm was about im not going to use the link as it looked suspicious!
I hope just going to my messages didnt send any of my private info out to the spammers?

The tahco counts ignition pulses so they will work the same for either 3 cylinder engine. I guess it will have a different redline becuse of bore stroke ratio etc but if it still runs up high enough excluding the indicated redline it wont matter at all. You could probably get a good instrement repai...

Thanks for the info no mention of CA71 ?? are yours listed 170mm? I had my cappo clutch relined the biggest problem was the springs in the hub were loose so the reconditioners replaced them with heavier springs. The cover and thrust bearing were still ok at 53,000 kms. The linings were very worn pro...

Hi all does anyone know where the diagnostic socket is on an 87 Works rsr? This car doesnt have a check light on the dash or the normal suzuki diagnostic sockets that i can see. I was looking for the early 4 pin or 6 pin or even the single one that is usually connected near the battery. Without a wi...

That would be interesting, might not work very well at low rpm would probably have heaps of lag and not a very efficient exhaust outlet.
Good fun giving it a go though

My RSR has a 9500 rpm redline when is that not enough
Ive never even had it close to that but doesnt help when the clutch is like jelly wrestlers trying to stand up

My clutch is getting very bad now so will have to come out soon. It looks very easy to take it out the top now ive had time to check it over properly. Is the clutch's you checked 170mm diamter? I think thats the size i read somewhere. Im hoping ill just need to reline it but maybe i will need a whol...

im not sure which way would be easiest to remove the engine and gearbox beacuse of the turbo and the tailshaft housing it may have to go downwards? Perhaps when the front grill and bonett shut panel are removed it will make it come up easier. Im sure when i rebuilt my Cappuccino twincam F6A the gask...

I need to remove the gearbox to replace the clutch and possibly the headgasket. Whats the easiest way to get the engine and gearbox out? the gearbox is sooo close to the left side of the engine bay i dont think it will slide off without hitting the body. Does the complete power train drop out the bo...

I fitted new CV joint to the RSR it was the smalest size of the 3 they measure the spline by diameter in the catalogs. I think it was 18mm dia from memory. Had to cut the old one off those circlips can sure get stiuck in! I also used a rear axle bearing from a Ford cortina to replace the r/h axle su...

Does anyone know if a Swift / Cultis front cv will fit the alto? They appear to be the same size externally including the front hubs and carriers. My local CV shop advised there are 3 different inner spline sizes on the cv that fits onto the axle? I found an earlier Swift but not sure if the inner s...

I had a cappuccino Factory shop manual with all the info ... i sold that with my car to a friend and im trying to track down her son at the moment to borrow the book back. If i can get it back i maybe able to scan the data for you. Because the system is MAP controlled it will not fuel properly, it m...
