its already regod so unless i get defected it wont matter!!!! ive done a search but it doesnt seem to help me out a great deal! apparently a mazda 323 cap and rotor button solves the proble but it didnt unless i got the wrong one.

There is shitloads of info on here about the GTi conversion.

You probably have the wrong dizzy cap and you will have to do something about the thermostat housing.

Or unless you hit someone and they decide it was because of the higher COG or a change to your handling characteristics and your insurance becomes void...

And a W022A thermostat housing(from what I can recall,mitsubishi housing),or there is the suzuki swift cino thermo housing from the carby SOHC swift(Apparently perfect fit!!!!)

I ended up modifying the original housing and gettin it welded(ripp off!)

I guess it's possible, in which case you're probably going to be on your own because there aren't a lot of people that run a 3" body lift these days. Honestly the best thing you can do is get rid of that bodylift, or at least drop it down to 2".

ditch the body lift sounds like your plan of attack, 3 inch is to big anyways
