The following tutorial shows you how to fit the JR Filters induction kit to your Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC31S). The kit should also fit the UK 1.3L and 1.5L non-sport Swifts too.
JR Filters are the only filters that will protect your engine against particles as small as 2.8 microns, giving 99% filtration.
With these filters fitted, power is increased and fuel consumption reduced.
JR Filters are TUV approved and come with a lifetime guarantee to the first owner.
The filters are washable, which means they are always reusable; no more changing and no need for disposal.
You can purchase the Swift Induction Kit from our PartBox online shop.
Please Notes: Cable Ties are packed into the filter head – check before fitting
Tools Required to Fit:
- Ratchet
- 10mm deep socket
- 13mm socket
- Phillips screwdriver

HKS have launched a new controller designed especially for driving games, featuring a thumb-controlled steering wheel, mini brake and accelerator pedals and a speedometer. This revolutionary racing product for gamers was unveiled at the E3 electronic entertainment expo.
HKS have had the analogue sticks removed from a typical PS3 pad and replaced them with a ‘thumb-controlled steering wheel, leaving just the required left and right movements for steering. This will aid those finding their thumbs slip off the sticks during races on the standard controller.

We’ve been so busy developing various parts, that we’ve totally neglected to bring you up to date with our Suzuki Project cars – sorry! Our current aim is to develop 2 x initial cars, based on the ZC31S Swift Sport with M16A engine. A fast road car, and other a super-fast track car.
These cars will be developed over different stages of tuning, gradually perfecting them into super fast and well handling top performers.
Initial testing of the track car’s 1.9litre engine will be carried out at the Nurburgring by our good friends at Rent4Ring. They now have RHD and LHD cars on their fleet of 10 x cars. Read the rest of this entry »

We’re always getting asked which oils and how much to use in Evo’s.Our sister company X-treme UK, who are a high performance vehicle specialist based in the West Midlands, recommend the following:
Lubricant quantities as follows:
- 5 and 6 speed gearboxes: approx 3 litres of oil (this feeds front diff. part of transfer box, as they are inter-connected)
- Transfer box: approx 0.6 litres of oil (this oil is for the transfer gear CWP)
- Rear diff: approx 1 litre of oil

The following procedure is for PFC (Performance Friction Corporation) Carbon Metallic pads and PFC discs.
Due to PFC’s race proven technology, unlike other manufacturer’s brake products, it is recommended that new discs be bedded with new pads (only applicable to PFC discs). This will ensure that two flat surfaces are bedded, thus providing the optimum braking solution.
During the bedding process the driver must not drag the brakes by applying continuous pedal effort with his left foot to induce heat into the braking system. This will cause heat build up too quickly and result in glazed pads.

Below are excepts relating to a test of Performance Friction Brakes (amongst others), featured in the April 2007 edition of the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (www.lancerregister.com) quarterly magazine, reproduced with permission.
The test was carried out on a White Evo 9 GT at the Bruntingthorpe.
First impressions count, and PF have well and truly embraced this point. Full marks for the superb packaging, it not only protects the contents but looks first class too. I accept that these boxes will go straight to the bin in most cases, but it does demonstrate PF’s approach to the overall package. They are clearly pitching their kit as a premium product.
Premium without the premium cost that is when you consider the retail price of £704.89 incl Vat based on their .11 pad compound. As with the AP strap drive kit, it’s a significant saving over a big brake kit. We’re talking half the cost, so you have to take these options seriously.
Performance Friction is an American company with a European office based in Brackley, Northamptonshire. The American influence is evident; there is a genuine belief that they have the best product, and a real determination to prove that belief. The confidence stems from a kit designed to work together, a PF pad to work with a PF rotor. This compatibility is something that PF rely on to achieve the total performance they strive for. Out and out braking performance is all well and good, but if that results in unacceptable wear or failure of another component it can’t be hailed as a success. Read the rest of this entry »

We recently received an e-mail from a customer experiencing problems after installing a KAAZ LSD (DBW3010) on his BMW E30.
He says after installation he has “found some vibration when taking a slow turn on the right and left” and asked us what might be the cause of these vibrations.
We explained to the customer that sometimes because the LSD tightens everything up, it just highlights other problems which already existed on car, but were not affected by a relaxed open diff. So the problem could be a worn bush, a bent arm or something.
We also highlighted a similar problem we have experienced where an Impreza pulled to one side after an LSD was fitted. It turned out that the car was twisted at the rear where the diff mounted onto the body of the car! Yet it didn’t show up so bad when the OE open diff was fitted.
Had a similar experience? Share it with us.
Need a limited slip differential for your car? Contact us today and we can help you find the right LSD for your needs, whether it is for fast road, track or rally. Alternatively, buy online from our PartBox online shop. We are official distributors and dealers of Cusco, KAAZ and Wavetrac high performance LSDs.

Car manufacturers are constantly improving and refining their cars and the parts that make them up. There can be some benefits for owners to fit the later parts to their earlier cars. Or sometimes this happens, when the earlier part fails and the easily available replacement is a later part, which may even be a used one from a car that is broken up for parts.
The AYC rear diffs on Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions 4~9 are a classic example of this. These parts do fail and often people make the later parts fit their earlier cars. Which is fine, until you decide to modify or repair the newly fitted assembly – as you may not be ordering the correct parts to match the components now fitted to your car.
