This is the kind of car that truly makes you a better driver. No excess power as a crutch, no excess weight so you cannot control the car as well. You really understand how to hit the apexes and follow a line.
+MC1796 This car is really hard to drive at the limit and like you said makes you a better driver for sure.
Very nice build I'm always a sucker for low power but extremely light weight cars.
+khaled webster This thing defines exactly that!
+khaled webster Me too. I especially love 4 cyls that put in huge work. Like the Evo and Sti's. 4 cyls i love em
Do you still have the 1.3 engine and tranny ?
khaled webster I have a 1989 Chevy Sprint. It's pretty much the exact same car, but with a 1.0 3 cylinder that makes 55 hp. And a 3 speed automatic. Wooo.
Yo fam
All I really need to say is.......WOW!
That little 1.3 literature engine was screaming around the track like it had a serious bone to pick with someone. I was also expecting a totally different sound coming front his exhaust.
Damn! That thing sounds pissed! I like the carbon door and lightweight door hinges idea. Freakin sweet!
+jdmcommute I really does sound amazing in there!!
badass ride...the in-car footage gives you a great sense of the raw speed, it looks like fun
+Daniel Tojcic If only Dave had some pants on though... my eyes! :P j/k
+Daniel Tojcic Even a stock one is fucking amazing to throw around...I've got one that I'm driving for a year and then swapping the drivetrain to a new body, and even then since all of the running gear except for the brakes are in mint condition it's an awesome little car to fly around in. (Don't worry, the brake thing is just a front caliper piston that partially drags when it's cold due to being worn out...I'm replacing it soon anyways and going easy on the brakes in the meantime.)
iTheGeek Well, I'm not having problems with mine. Two of my buddies own a Metro and a Sprint respectively, the Metro with a 3-cylinder and the Sprint with a 4-cylinder, both just a model year behind. The Metro has gone through 2 of it's 3-cylinder engines now with only 210,000 km on the body, but the Sprint still has the original engine in it at just shy of 300,000 km on it with a valvetrain rebuild and minor rust repair. Nothing else. I picked up a 4-cylinder as well and my only issue with it so far was a fouled MAP sensor causing overfuelling for a while, and that's it.
It may not be a real car by everyone's standards, but it's cheap as hell to fix and an adventure to drive, so that's why I bought it.
+iTheGeek sucks? mine has over 380.000 kms, and it still does 0-100 in under 7.8s corners like a go-kart, and can get 20 km/l on the highway. ah, also, it has never broken down, ever, and dont worry, i have others, more expensive and newer cars
lucas arteta post it..
in Japan this is the suzuki cultus they were 4 cylinder turbo all wheel drive! somebody built one that was the fastest 4 wheel drive car in the world! it would beat cars in a drag race on dirt while the other car was on pavement. the geo metro was nothing like these cars
There is no cultus turbo
@@josearevalo1765 are you saying the one i saw in Japan was a N/A?
@@PANTYEATR1 yes
You can really tell how light this car is when you guys were hitting them turns, just awsome!! and that clutch does look fun even though my computer screen Lol. Awsome ride! its also cool seeing a Suzuki on the track... something different!
this is my idea of a an ideal car, much props to the builder.
You drive so good man! The amount of carbon fibre that car has it´s just unbelievable, and the owner it´s an artist! Cheers to you and him!
+Alberto Pettine Thank you! Kevin has put in a lot of work into that car. It's remarkable what he has done with it.
Speed Academy Remarkable? Freaking amazing I should add sir. :P
Who needs VTEC when you have this screamer!
Looked super fast, if a K-series is in the question I wouldn't even be able to comprehend how much more power it would be able to put down, great work and thanks for sharing guys. Love from Texas!
Super cool to finally see your footwork. I hope I can get that good
Just found your channel... and it's taking me back to when I had my Swift GTi. Kudos on that build; I wish I'd never sold mine.
+TheOtherDave Awesome! And glad you like our video :)
awesome Man, it's motivation for me to start my project. ..
I've seen this car at TMP before, I absolutely ADORE it. Its just so unique among the boring Honda track cars.
Awesome, real pocket rocket, raw power, great raw driving skills! Appreciate more info about upgrade & add-on. Hot hatch of 90's still rocking.
+wan asma v Wait till this thing is rocking a K-engine, it's going to be even more killer and we'll have a video on it as soon as it's done.
The handling is amazing ,very good setup.
Neat little Suzuki. Also looking forward to some Speed Academy apparel.
+Shakotannn Coming soon! Our e-store will be up by the end of the month.
That looks like so much fun. Such an awesome build.
I used to own two of those, one n/a and one turbo.
Eventually i kept the turboed one, but both where fun!
I decided to keep the turboed one, once i got the hang of it's snappy nature!
It was turboed since 1997 and i sold it in 2011, same stock engine besides baleno pistons and thicker headgasket.
Daily beaten and driven, never missed a beat!
Back when I was 21 I had a swift GT with the factory recaro seats and steering wheel it was blue with minor bolt-ons such a fun car to drive on logging roads
Really nice build, big respect for staying NA and lightweight.
For the swift fans, check out the twincharged AWD swift from Croatia. Nothing off the shelf also. Search for "skradin 2010 badurina".
You sir have a new subscriber!! Perfectly done video
projects like that you don't see every day, very well done
+David Kornrumpf II No sir! It's incredible that this was originally a 100hp economy car.
Wow, that thing is very quick for 140hp! Love lightweight race cars, lotus would be proud. I cant wait to see another vid after that k20 goes in. Also love the way he was holding that custom carbon door like it was a toothpick lol. Great build and great driving.
+Mike Hendricks 140 Whp, that is more than 140 hp
+Mike Hendricks i am waiting to see the huge difference, but i am afraid of being disappointed, because of the extra weight that the k20 will bring to the nose of such a light car. hopefully they will make a video with dramatic results, or they will have to bite their tong.
I'd rather have a Lotus Elan with that awesome Isuzu 4XE1WT motor.
Clean work man!
That car looks like its a blast to drive. Its like badass go-cart for the road.
AWESOME build! Will that dogbox fit into a 1987 Sprint? Its got the 1.0 Turbo engine but the 1.3 supposedly bolts right in as well which I plan on building as a backup motor. Did you have to fab your own transmission mounts?Does it need a bell housing adapter or do they have a dogbox that will bolt right up? I have no power steering in my MK1 so it should be really crazy to rip in with a dogbox!
Very nice build. I would like to see a build video of that car along with suspension tips.
Wow,this guy really did go a lot of steps further than i did with my Swift. :-O Awesome work done and ill bet it feels awesome to race with all that weight loss and the upgraded brakes.
In for k20! I really like the foot work camera angle.
+Joshua B We are too! The moment its done we'll shoot a video.
Looks like an absolute tonne of fun to drive!
Honestly I feel we all can agree this would be a fun car in general to have/learn on. I think he can definitely benefit from this video & open a market based on demand for these aero parts.
Woohoo 20k!! you're on the up :) keep it going guys :D
+Bubbleraider Thanks! Tell all your car friends, we're shooting for 25K by the end of October.
Thank You Very Much for The Video and Información. From Argentina
Woah that's impressive. What an awesome build!
+Jon Kat It really is, the attention to detail that Kevin put into the Swift is amazing.
awesome little speed machine,i love it
I had a 1993 Swift GT with a Cultus swap. Loved it. Miss it.
seems like a blast to drive wow would love a spin on that thing
Amazing little car. Never thought a swift could be so cool or fast!
+ZohanLohan Neither did we until we met Kevin. It's super cool though right?
That looks so much fun to drive!
The sound is amazing! i would daily this!
Which hotbit coilovers did u use? Which model? I have a 91 geo metro and I cant find any that will fit.
Absolute blast to watch!
that itb induction soundtrack never gets old.
You've got that 1300 suzuki sounding like it came right out of a Hayabusa!
The sound is like Hayabusa, Trust me. Im owner of Swift Gti 30 years ...and after 5000rpm sounds like hayabusa. And its factory setting .Dont forget that the motor ( G13B) developed by suzuki motorbike team
it sounds so nice when its on the throttle a very good track build
+1DoPeS14 ITB's sound incredible. Kevin knows how to build a fast track car.
damn, love it.. the subtle race styling is perfect..
+cyz44 We also love how clean it looks.
Did ive heard Kalmar Motorsport dogbox? They are from our country (Czech republic). We have few very fast Swifts over here and this ove is awesome too.
Hoping you guys are having a great time at the Ontario 1500!!
Is there anyway I can get in touch with you guys about the process of your build? I have a 1.3 geo metro that I want to build similar to this. It has the same 1.3 as the suzuki swift.
I have a GTi fro the track, and a justy 4wd for everyday, god i love those cars, and just the sound mmmmmmm
was that an oil accumulator bolted to the floor? I'm guessing it was a wet sump? how can I get in touch with the owner? Thanks
This is amazing, awesome car I bet it me a blast to drive! Also great to see some other Ontario friends on here! I'm from London
+CarPhonix CarAudio It's a handful but it's going to be even crazier with the K20 engine swap!
Protip: a basic EQ (or looking at which of your two stereo mics has the less windy feed) can nuke a lot of wind noise. I learned this the hard way myself ;D Though you may have already tried this, of course.
does anyone know the willwood brake/ caliper part no. so i can purchase them for my swift? cheers
is there a place where we can find more about this build? is there a youtube channel or website?
That sound !
loving mine at 15 pounds of boost with almost stock bottom , only the piston where machined to lower compression this engine is rock solid .
+Robert Audette Very cool! What kind of power does it make?
Did not dynoed it ,a friend did made 229 at wheel with 15lbs forged .
Future goals!
Very cool sound. Love the swift GTi. Would be cool to see a Cultus in the US.
Now I really miss my swift. Had an imported cultus engine in mine.
doesnt rain water or from windshield squirter gets into itbs?
how good is that time on that track? can we get a compare or list of the times on the track?
that ITB sound.
What did you do with the dogbox once you mounted the K20!?!?
Sounds like its got a bike engine in it!! Gotta be one of the best sounding car I've ever heard!! love it
I've got a swift and i'm looking for parts, can you post some info on where you got some of your race parts, what you're using for an ecu, etc? Thanks
He used Suzukird.com. He did not say it but on a magazine article it states it!
it's like music to my ears!😍😍😍
Where do you get the body kit for the geo metro???
that thing shreds!
Looks like you need to input a lot of wheel angle to get it round those corners, Upgrading the rack any time soon?
+John Higgins yes, Kevin is looking into a new column and rack from Unisteer.
the best sounding four cylinder next to the sr20det right there
How do I get ahold of C3 composites? looking to have some custom prices made local to me.
+Daniel Gardner (Danielism) Search C3 Composites on Facebook, you should be able to track Kevin down that way.
Where did you get that bumpers and sideskirt?😁
Don't know if aresdy posted, but what's the weight of the car?
Pretty sick car, I wouldn't swap it though, seems like it has good balance as is
Hot damn diggity damn dog. Dat dere has got to be the cleanest damn engine bay I done seen.
Just wondering what kind of dash is in the car, because my friend has a swift too and the dash doesn't look anything like it
# Mr. Christmas this dash is fitt into the mk2 gti your friends might be mk3 or mk4 gti
The itb induction sound scrumptious.
+Karl Marx It sounds unbelievable in person!
One question, what parameters does one use to tune ITBs with no plenum? Obviously air temp, manifold pressure or mass air flow sensors can't be used, so what is it used? TPS, RPM, exhaust temp, oxygen sensors?
Tps, rpm, lambda, map. You make a vacuum manifold. Take vacuum from each inlet and connect it to the separate manifold, also need that for vacuum assisted brakes.
This is the same chassis as a geo metro right?
Wow...that was great. Awesome sound too.
Nice shirt by the way. Under hard acceleration it almost sounds like the hachiroku
+Chase Diaz It totally does! We were saying its like an ITB 4AGE!
Car sound absolutely monstrous for a 1.3L
where they buy that front lip ?
Looks like a fun little car..... How about sending me a Speed Academy shirt. Keep up the good work
+jorges2000 You can support us and buy one soon from our e-store. :)
+Speed Academy Most definitely. when will the store be up and running?
+jorges2000 We're shooting for the end of the month!
Love the shirt dude
Those shorts though..... show some leg! haha Awesome video and great footage from in car. The swift sounds mean!
+bergi85 We love rocking shorts haha.
Love the car! And I'm digging his shirt.
ハチロく.
Hachi Roku
八六
86
+Ross Hines You can buy that shirt from whatmonstersdo.com
What brand are the pistons?
dude that's so cool.
looks hella fun
i just love this omg
Don't know if I missed it but how much does it weigh? Also sounds like an e30 m3 dtm car.
Weight is 1400 lbs without driver
Dude I hate fwd but man this car is just cool. Super light weight go cart right there. I always had a soft spot for the gti.
Can you tell me ,what transmission fit's on suzuki 1.3 gti twin cam, i want a short transmission so my car can take the speed ,mor fast than the original ,Wich car transmission can fit a sigure that on my suzuki gti .Pleasee answer to me. i downt now wich won ,for that im asking you . Im From Kosovo.Have a great time

Would a busa motor work?
My idol dream car! Building one right now as we speak 🗣️ 🏎️🛻♟️🖤🕊️🔮💍🎱🏁™️®️✨
6:30
I have two questions,
1. Does the speed-o-meter work?
2. Smart on the track? Really?
Is this in Canada?
