A bit of background...

I collect catalogues from Suzuki's (not just Swifts) and my collection is moving along pretty quickly and costing a fair bit at the same time. I am now getting hold of catalogues that I have never seen on the net before so I thought I would start to share them with the community so others can enjoy them too.

I am writing a rant here because I have been criticised in the past for getting angry about people taking material of this variety off the site.. and true I don't own it.. but I have paid a lot of money ($270 and counting) to get these catalogues for myself and others to see, so all I ask is that if you do take these from the site (and I know for a fact it will happen), please credit redlinegti.com with supplying them.

If anyone has any other catalogues that they can scan (400dpi+) to share with other people please drop me a line.

Below are thumbnails, but they all open up to full size images so you can read the detail. If you have problems just drop me a PM and I will sort it out.

Enjoy!

-edit-
All images have now been relocated to their own media page

omg! could someone tell me whether those gear ratios in the mk2 catalogue is true? becoz if they were then the 1.0 GA gear ratios are virtually the same as the GTi's except for 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. even the final drive ratio is the same. do they also share the same diff? pardon me if im stating the obvious or this has been discussed before.

if there was an applause emoticon, I'd put in in here...about 100 times.

Excellent work...
It is much appreciated.

I have the 1989 Canadian Catalogue for the Swift GTi. If I can ever get off my ass and find a scanner, you'll be the first one I send it to.

Fine Job,
TGstring

Like those hey TGstring :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

These are looking good too bzchi .. I am still trying to get the MK1 GTi dealer one scanned for you .. we have gotten real busy at work .. but it will happen - (try and get both jpg & pdf versions)

Biggest prob .. they are not A4 or A3 size .. so scanning is not easy .. lot of cut and paste to get them looking right ...

Will also get a colour copy done & sent down (double sided etc) as soon as i have them done

Bump,

Added my latest eBay acquisition:

Suzuki Ignis/Swift Catalogue (Japan)

This may confuse, but the current Ignis is called the Swift in Japan. So the Ignis Sport here is called the Swift Sport in Japan. I also have a 6 page insert for this catalogue with Japanese factory options, which covers cool things like Sat Navs and Stackers that aren't covered in Australian options for the Ignis.

Not everyones cup of tea I know, and it isn't the original swift, but some may find it interesting.

I had a guy at work translate part of it.. it ended up in more broken english, I have no idea what "it's only a swift' is meant to mean.. doesn't sound very good :? :lol:

Have another brochure in the post coming from the UK (finally found one!). I am very seriously looking for a Baleno / Baleno GTX catalogue, if anyone has one please let me know!

I've got the "Rally Good Fun" brochure for the Ignis Sport. You can still pick it up at your local dealer but it might be good to add to the collection.

Yeah, I have 3 current ignis brochures to upload.

I just got schooled on 2 eBay auctions for brochures because I didn't stay up late to watch them.. not happy! ](*,)

He's only in it for the bank. Amazing how easy it is to run a site when someone else does all the ground work for ya ;)

Anyway.. more articles coming soon.. a UK catalogue and MK1 catalogue are in transit atm.. can't wait to get them :D

I got about 6 more catalogues/brochure yesterday so they will all start flodding in.

On tonights menu is:

Suzuki Ignis (not Sport) Genuine Accesories Insert (Australia)
First one is just Australian genuine accessories insert that I picked up, few differences to the sport (fog lights are a key one) and has some interesting addition like underbody skid plates etc.

Suzuki Kei Works (Japan)
When I first saw this I thought it was the cousin of the Ignis, just prepped for Kei class (they look almost identical). After a bit of a debate.. which I of course lost with Brayden, I found that this car is actually smaller than the Ignis (12cm narrower) so does not infact share the same body as the Ignis. I personally think it is an awesome looking variant on the Ignis, and the photos of the darker Kei with dark rims looks pretty awesome. Other things to note are that the interior is almost 100% the same, and the Recaro's are identical except the netting is black not yellow. Last thing of great importance is the photo of the Suzuki Sport race seat *drool*.

Coming up in the near future is the 2 Australian Ignis brochures (scanned but not prepped), Ignis Sport Australian brochure, the UK Swift MK2 brochure arrived today, and I have Suzuki Alto Works, Suzuki Kei (standard), Suzuki Wagon R brochures and MK1 brochure still in transit.

Not sure how many people are interested but I will keep updating because I am getting a fair amount of positive feedback about making these catalogues available.

I think it's also good to see what other Suzuki's are out there! :D
