Suzuki Alto Works RS/R Build Date 04/1989
Haven’t really started fixing this car as yet. Ordered a new fuel filter (Z518), Found the system from the other white car – tank, pump, filter and lines; Plan now is to clean out / check these lines and tank and install into RSR550, with the new filter and soft …

Registered, fuelled, driven. Things to do: Swap doors with other white Alto Swap tailgate with other white Alto Get rear ‘seat’ re-trimmed with later style colours Install boost gauge on steering column Rebuild/swap steering rack Install new outer tie-rods (Chinese ones still haven’t left China..)
Ordered 2 sets of outer tie-rods from a Chinese company for possibly both Altos. Total cost delivered matches cost of 2 genuine ones – undelivered. If I’m unimpressed with the quality I’ll only use them on RSR550 and go genuine for RSR660 Update: Enquired about order status; received refund due to parts NLA
Far right pic: New Suzuki Sport for other alto, some local alto, old Suzuki Sport shock, new KYB (342020)
Have now installed the new KYBs,
Managed to chop the stubborn rusty bolt off with a angle grinder, reasonably confident the thread is still decent for the new bolt.
Of course I then realised the springs don’t match each other so will have to replace them with a set from the spare Alto,
