    We were reminded just how fun a little nugget hatchback can be when we borrowed some cars at a circuit in Japan last year. As soon as we got home we started hunting for something similar, turning a bog standard Swift into a track day thrasher. Hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching!

      I'm pretty sure there is a version of the Swift that has a proper six-speed full sequential g'box. I'd be looking at that mod at some point. And then maybe an electric super charger from TorqAmp.

      I dont see any passion in the build here. Buying super expensive rims and seats while that money could be invested in improving the engine, brakes, suspenison and possibly transmission. The air intake part just demonstrates this perfectly. Buying expensive parts rather than trusting physics is what this build was about.

    ZC32S driver here (fiancée owns it). I've been into Hondas and old Nissans for years, and quite honestly the Swifts are one of those cars that give you the same kind of connected feel and playfulness that so many modern cars lack. It's not scarily quick, but it's quick enough to get you to pace very easily, and keep you at a level you can really learn at. Driving one hard reminds me a lot of old EK4 Civics.

    I got a 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport as my first car last summer, I took it on a 2000km roadtrip through Germany and had an absolute blast.
    But if it wouldn't have been for the videos you guys made about these I would have scrolled past it on the market place on my quest for a fun first car, I thought it was kinda boring at first but I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I sat down in it and later realized it was probably the best thing I could have gotten with my budget.

    I just fixed that exact same oil leak on my little nugget. There is a trick so thought I'd share it. You don't have to remove the ac compressor or the exhaust, instead remove the front bumper and you can access the bolts front on & it gives you heaps of room due to the swift having a small radiator. I used a 1/4" drive ratchet with flexi and a ratchet spanner. No need to drain the coolant either just move the housing to the side with the line still connected and pull the gasket out.

    wow honestly i watched this video with pure happiness in my eyes. the swift was my first car and i still have her. did all the same mods u guys did but on a cheap budget so im up to £4000 so far. this car is so fun even tho it doesnt make a lot of power always puts a smile on ur face. with the right tyre setup it grips too and its quiet oversteer happy rather than understeer. was so happy when i saw the manifold i have the same one and it really makes the car sounds so good. tad raspy but if u keep a res or a sport backbox doesnt sound a bad raspy. i always send it in this thing and pretend like im in rally. thank you for showing everyone else what a fun little build the swifty can be.

      A total rip off, and the trade-off as Moog says, more flow=less filtration with K&N. Plus it’s now a hot air intake, losing pretty much any gains, and except for the intake borp noise that’s it.

    Yup, for better chassis stiffness I would add Beatrush fender bars. To reduce the roll summit RARB and a cusco FARB. Intake, one can go crazy with a suzuki sport ITBs or for me a trust intake. Exhaust same but with a Sunline single endcan. The factory bonnet is quite heavy stock so a CF one will help reduce weight. At higher speed track, a greddy sump guard helps to smooth the air flow under the engine creating 0 lift. For better grip out the corners a LSD will help it tons. Finally, just for the engine sake, a monster sports oil sump baffle plate... due to the oil pick up location, at certain Gs in a corner, it can't pick up oil and can cause premature failure.

    I recently drove one when I went to French Polynesia. We really don’t have them in the US so it was the first time even seeing one, and it was extremely gutless but super nimble. It hates straights but chewed up the corners. I can definitely see how it would be a crazy fun car with the mods on a windy track.

  • @murrieteacher
    @murrieteacher 11 місяців тому +4

    Yes, wheels tyres, seats and a must have, full race harness. Out of all the mods I used for hillclimbs, my race harness gave me almost 2 seconds. Sure my R spec rubber also gave me 2 seconds, but the harness gave me that for 30% of the cost of rubber. And do them in stages, and take notes and see if you can get videos or pictures in corners so you can see what happens when the car is loaded. You need data like entry and exit speeds, tyre temp and suspension changes. That may sound like "over the top" , but if you want to go as fast as the vehicle is capable of, then you must collect data. And get a track app that allows you to see what happened.

    I have the 2nd gen Swift Sport, it's such a fun little car. I changed from the original 17" wheels to 16" though, since it gives the option for wider tires and a bigger sidewall allows the tire to work a little better. The rolling diameter of the tires is also a little smaller, which makes the car even more punchy. An exhaust change is a must on these cars, they are way too muted with the stock exhaust. Next on my list is brake pads and coilovers (if the TÜV plays nicely).

    If you ever go to the Nurburgring Nordschleife, by far the smartest thing you can do is hire a track-prepped Swift the whole time. It's cheap, and a lot of fun. Because there is nothing less fun than driving a fast car slowly at a track, and practically nothing more fun than thrashing the rings out of a slow car at a track. Plus, if you rent a 911 at the 'Ring you will have to pay the first 15,000 Euros of damage when you crash it. :P
    So, while a properly specified and prepared Swift won't be setting any lap times you want to tell your friends, well... anywhere, it most certainly WILL provide you with a lot of smiles. And because we know there isn't a car in this world that Moog can set a decent lap time in, it makes absolute and total sense!

    Just to mention, it's worth checking the thermostat on these engines, they fail which is very common causing headlift because the car is running hot (temp gauge is very slow and may not even move).
    Go for a long drive getting the car warm, and check the lower rad hose which is near the gearbox, the hose must be warm or hot - this means the thermostat is opening up.
    My thermostat didn't open up which was causung my engine to run hot without even telling me.

    It's so frustrating that the U.S. car market is so ridiculous right now. There are more or less zero small, fun, practical cars. No Jimnies, no Swifts, etc. Just $30K+ hybrid/electric SUVs, etc. They recently stopped selling Golfs, Fiestas, Focuses, etc. Our car market is absolute trash right now.

    I have a 2002 WRX that I bought new. In 2012 after 170,000 miles of modifications and driving it like I stole it the engine started knocking. Car sat in garage. In 2019 I bought a 2009 Forester X 2.5 to daily while I fixed the WRX. Bought a replacement JDM engine for the WRX and got to work....sort of. I started the while I am in there with the WRX. Bigger turbo, higher flow fuel pump......etc. Meanwhile I cant drive a stock Forester so I put my Prodrive PFF7s from the WRX on. Nice but to high. Bought a set of ISC coilovers and lowered it 3 inches. Wow looks good and handles. Next went on ISC adjustable lower control arms, a Perrin 25mm rear swaybar. Endlinks and adjustable lateral arms to alow more adjustment for the rear. Next was wider 18x9.5 wheels with sticky Falken Azenis RT615K+ tires a Nameless axleback exhaust and a Sparco seat. My Forester is slow as crap but my goodness does it handle. My workmate has a 2022 Civic Type R and cannot keep up with me in the corners. Next I am buying a wrecked GV STi. Swapping over brakes, axles, R180 and 6speed then selling everything else. Then a EZ30. Keeping it naturaly aspirated. Maybe one day I will finish the WRX.

    When I watched a few UA-cam recordings of this car they all said that the steering is a bit poor if it was updated it might be as good like a mini!?
