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 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.

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.

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.

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. They ended up with the stock as it works better.

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'm in the process of building a Daihatsu Cuore with a stock YRV 1.3 turbo engine, which through engine to weight ratio, will put out 185 bhp. It's within the charms of the original Mighty Car Mods "Make Your Slow Car Fast" video from 12 years ago. I'm building it for under £1500, which is roughly the price of Moogs Suzuki Swift', Tein coilovers. I'm a little shocked at how expensive the Suzuki Swift is to copy, compared to the original Daihatsu Cuore.

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.

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 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).

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.
