It is but I will put later stuff in my car if I decide to run 134a. If not I will put r12 in my car. I have a ac machine with both in it so I have a supply of both.

Here is the start of SS for Silver Swift. It is a 1992 Suzuki Swift Ga with a 1.3 Sohc 8 valve engine with a 3:52 final drive ratio transmission.I will be adding pictures soon. I bought car with a rod hanging out side of block the crank was fubared and the head also. I went to cannada a few years ago and picked up a engine to build. At the time I did not have a car to build it for. I have been collecting parts for almost a year so here we go. My 1.3 is .050 mm over GTI bottom end. More to come!
This is a great find Ray. I'm jealous. Question about your bringing parts from Canada. Are there rules about bringing them across the border? I would like to grab some stuff in BC but I don't want to get hassled coming back.

I came Back to border with my metro loaded down with parts. I only had driver seat in it that was it the rest of car was loaded! Guy at border looked over at my car I guess he though wow about how loaded it was.I told him it was all car parts. They sent me thru with no inspection. May be harder now though.

Probably a lot easier for an American to bring parts in to the US than it would be for a Canadian to bring them in to the US. But who knows. Just don't expect to come back with big ticket items (say, a Lambo engine or wheels) without a hassle! Geo parts, I doubt they'd look twice. Esp if you have receipts.

Has any one had a hard time getting the correct cv axles on a 4 cylinder car? I got the passanger side fine but the driver side every time I order one I get a gti driver side and the splines are not the same! Any Idea where to get them? i already ordered from rock auto,Advance Auto and were I work CarQuest all the same.Wrong axle. Rebuilders around here say they can not build axles that small. Any one have any ideas?
