The larger turbo has muffled the exhaust more than the old turbo, so it is loud, but not as loud as it was before.
Now has a flange cut into the exhaust, and a straight through pipe replacing the muffler.
Goes quite a bit harder, next stop boost controller (that I already have) and wide band (which I don't have).Įxhaust side with my girly hands to give you a size comparison. Including fabbing up some new components, and butchering a few intake manifolds and such to make it fit.
SUZUKI CAPPUCCINO DRIVERS
In the long run I want to respray the car, something like a Lotus Elise/Exige green, it would look awesome in black, but after almost getting squished twice by idiotic SUV drivers I think a bright colour is better or get a orange flag on a pole like those cyclists.Ĭappo-front.jpg cappo-rear.jpg cappo-side.jpgĪwesome mechanic mate of a friend of mine, installed the new 'larger' turbo (all things relative) in a mad session from 8pm to 2am friday night. Anyway now has a muffler installed and is much quieter but no more flames :'( How the previous owner got a RWC I do not know (must of been matey with the garage I guess). Took it to the exhaust shop and was over 100 db. Basically it had a straight threw pipe from front to rear with only a hot dog in the whole exhaust system. Although kinda expected as it was very loud, and after the Injector and N1 ecu change it blew flames at times. I also have a larger turbo to put on it, but need to get a new manifold made up as it has different flanges to the stock turbo.Īfter about the 3rd time I drove it, I got a noise complaint issued by the EPA. Fit a new head unit, not some crazy DVD player that blocks access to all climate controls, and is just stupid. So next thing on the todo list is take the dash out, centre console and hunt down all the squeaks and rattles you get in an almost 20 year old car. A totally heterosexual Cappuccino decal down the side.Carbon fibre cannards to help with the aerodynamics and give me more kilowatts.A foam/rubber rear spoiler so you don't hurt your head when you open the boot.The ability to tell MX-5 owners their cars are fat.Half ripped out to be replaced and done properly. An aftermarket DVD player with wiring that would make Marty cry.Honda (Integra?) Wheels - 195/50/15 with really horrid Champion tyres soon to be relegated to Motorcross duty.When I saw the MCM episode I laughed so hard. Yes, it has red brake calipers, that easily add 25 kilowatts and make me stop faster. So I have a 1993 Suzuki Cappuccino, here is a picture of it: It meant that Cappuccinos were on sale in the UK for just two years.įans have been calling for a replacement ever since, and despite Suzuzi teasing with motor show concepts, it remains the firm's only sports car.Hey all, I recently joined up to post up my game I am working on, but after incessantly watching MCM I thought I better post up some stuff about my car. This model had a new chain-driven lighter engine and increased torque, but the cost of making the changes required for the European market were prohibitive. New emissions regulations across the EU meant that the UK never saw the re-enginneered Cappuccino that was introduced in Japan in 1995. Limited numbers helped – a total of just 1110 official cars made it over here 888 in red and 222 in silver, though there are a number of grey imports. Its modern take on the classic roadster means it's one of the few Suzukis sold in the UK to pick up cult status and go on to become a classic. As such it's very small, just 3295mm long, 1395 wide and weighs just 725kg. The Suzuki Cappuccino is a rev-happy small roadster originally built to comply with Japan's strict Kei-car regulations.
