Honda Brio 1.2 i-VTEC MT: Why this should be your next PROJECT CAR! | AutoCulture

- The Honda Brio was a cute little hatchback introduced back in 2011 to take on cars like Hyundai i10, Suzuki Swift etc. The Honda Brio unfortunately never caught on due to its lack of features, high pricing and non-existent bootspace. But now, in 2022, it is slowly catching on in the eyes of enthusiasts to being one of the best project cars ever. The small and compact dimension give it great handling along with a responsive steering and amazing 5-Speed Manual. The tuning capabilities for the Honda Brio are endless! Want to know what they are? Watch the video to find out!

I'm driving it every day to my work. I go for long rides with my friends in it. I make those wheels rotate like hell, and the beautiful sound it makes whenever I hit the RPM..! Man, Trust me I am having lots of fun with my 2012 BRIO i-Vtec MT. It's been 10 years since we had it with us. Even today, It has the same performance, same braking ability, and literally ZERO problems. This thing is something else. I am not selling this car.
Same here ...I have a Red Brio and I just can't stop loving it ❤️
Same here bro driving since 2012 still going smooth, only problem it hits the underbody on speedbreakers so planning to put bigger tyres
@@dchheda999 haha same issue. Ground clearance is too bad. What tyres 🛞 are you planning to put?
@@ShivPappu06 185/70 R14 yokohama earth 1 I'm thinking, original size is 175/65 R14 I guess
@@dchheda999 185/70 R14 will mess with your wheel wells, mainly when you drive over speed breakers. I have 185/65 R14, sometimes I feel I should have picked 185/60 R14.
Do a stage 2 remap, custom headers and downpipe, borla end can.
What is generally a stage 2 map ? and the other stuff you mentioned is basically the exhaust manifold
I got this 2nd this year.. I just love the heavy, sporty steering wheel and excellent controls❤️
Thanks buddy to make such a nice video on this car. Loved it. Do make more videos like this on Honda Brio in future too. Thanks
I am driving Honda Brio MT and Jazz CVT, still loving them.
This and the Honda jazz too..highly underrated, not only here but outside too..even Mugen has a body kit and performance parts for it, and it's been in Spoon too..also the L series engines are compatible, and the L15A has the classic VTEC..but this is for the older gen (2010 one)..the new ones do have a lot of JDM aftermarket support
I drive both Brio MT and Jazz CVT, they both are highly underrated cars
they actually race fits/jazz in the USA and they're competitive
I have been thinking to get one and to replace our decade-old Maruti 800. This should definitely be a good option.
So a Friend worked on his brio and fitted it with a 2012 Honda city engine with a other modifications it turned out really well....That brio was nothing short of a rocket....it can be seen zipping around chennai streets.
I also havung brio in chennai, where can i get city engine and swap into my brio. Please reply
@@aravindhakrishnanr1586 check out team performance racing

Man! I love the Brio . ♥️
It was our first and has been our only car, love how it can move and slice through traffic better than autos & tempos, without thrashing the car.
Totally a baller car to be someone's first.
I currently have 2014 ertiga. But I was looking for a car which can be fun to drive and easy to drive in city. For me Ertiga is long. For how much I can get this baby car? And where should I get this from?
Yep, well said! Working hard to get this car soon!
EDIT : Got the car! 2012 Top-end manual!
how much did it cost
@@darjinandan 2.5 Lakhs!
Which city?
@@VinayKumar-kc3fp Chennai
Yes ofcourse the connectivity between the car and the driver perhaps is excellent and the excel it throws and push the car on highway by the acceleration power is at par 💙💙the typical i-vtec sets the line
the ultimate will be slapping on a k24a series engine from the crv with AWD driivetrain and going FI to pump it to a easy 300WHP
I still own a 2013 first gen amaze 1.5 idtec, omg man what a car for its price. 7 lakhs got you 100bhp 200nm such a bloody good car never let me down
I loved it im going to buy
Could u guys do a project brio because everyone would watch it as it is really cheap
Please do a video of Fiat Grande Punto Multijet about tuning
Just noticed you car key.. How did you changed your master honda key? My key is broken which honda service station guys have broken it while replacing batteries. Do revert on your key I want to have similar one!
Superb
Hey just wanted to know can a Chevrolet beat ( 1.2l 3 cylinder) engine be tuned ?
I do have a 1.5L Brio and it’s a fun car to build with lots a possibilities. May be the next Zen of the current era.
Where you done the swap, could u provide details please
I have plans to do a swap with Honda Civic engine - your thoughts ‼️⁉️
@@aravindhakrishnanr1586 In BLR. The city where I saty.
@@KILLERSPECIALIST R18 is not a great engine to start with mate.
@@yorork which city u are? By the way im from Chennai
Recently bought this pocket rocket from a Used car platform. Mid Range is next level, loving it every time i drive the car. Ground clearance & boot space is a little ache, still very good car for a small family. If you are in the market for a used car, just go for it blindly.
Which model and how much u spent to get it.. i also want to.
@@Avenger_Shiv 2012 Brio V MT for 3.4L through Spinny
Should I go for this or jazz or city?? I'm a new driver. And what about the chances of audio modification?
@@achyutkeshinisudan4942 Really depends on your commute/need & budget. Go for Brio if your family is small & can compromise on boot space.
Hey bro, anything on spinny's buying experience. How transparent are they? Are they genuine. How bout rc transfer process.. coz I'm also about to visit them
That gens amaze is also nice. Pretty much the same car just a bit heavier.
I have white color at present..good car
4 cylinder... Recent SUV's - 3 cylinder 😂
Does installing free flow muffler or end can affect engine life?
I don't think itll much...at the end of the day its a reliable honda...but it can damage the economy definitely
Does anyone know the best shop in Delhi to get the after market body parts for Honda Brio! Nowadays it's hard to find.
Can anyone suggest the good air filter for this brio and where to buy after market airfilter because these days there lots of fake k&n branded filters are circulation
Polo MPI 1.0 tuning video please
Any thoughts on Chevy Optra magnum 2.0 diesel !
Wow, the chevy optra is a masterpiece
Now when Honda is planning to lunch it’s facelift version?
I still own one, its really fun especially in twisties
I guess he is the only person who said i-vtec engines are not that special. He has to rethink himself.
Well I guess by looking at the structure and ergonomics and the mannerism which the car behaves is very nimble to drive while manuevering on highway and yes it is well sorted and mix and match between city and highway .
Is it available in showrooms? please reply, I want to purchase one.
Will insurance companies provide insurance with this types of mod, i.e. swapping L12A with L15A ? Is it legal to do so ?
noo
INSANE
yea we saw what you did there... Amazed us 😂😂.
Yes bro. Brio is an excellent car, only for it's size otherwise the car is amazing.
My fevo hatchback without polo , Fabia and swift ❤️💪
Bhai ye car meri first car h or bht maja ata chalane mai
My brio 2nd gear is little bit tight while shift down from 3rd to 2nd. Is it normal or my car gear box problem please reply
change GEAR oil 75w85 only, not more than 1.5 liter
Maybe I'm a little old fashioned but I thought the brio, as good of a car it is, was way too light and lacked stability. But then after my punto, i almost feel like the polo lacks stability sometimes
The punto is soo stable man🔥 we have a 2014 evo diesel!
@@stickshift13 ikr, nowadays it’s pointless to talk just about outright speed. Electric can beat any ic car out there. Cars should be more about drive feel than stats imo
Is it not automatic?
Cars like these, brio, ZEN, Alto are getting lost in this decade of SUV craze. I'm sure if they bring back the brio, zen and more compact cars, ppl would buy it, instead of space hogging SUVs and fake SUVs.
We have the Brio automatic (the new shape one 2017 onwards) and the Jazz CVT (the paddleshifter one). Both are very hassle free vehicles. The Brio is sharp, clean, and crisp and a lovely city hatchback. Only problem is the 8 kmpl fuel efficiency in city running. Nothing over 11 on the highway. Tiny fuel tank too. 27 litres I think. The Jazz is very very underpowered and highway drives can be very slow and taxing. Comfortable car though. I also had the 2003 1.5 Honda City with a raceconcepts intake and exhaust swap etc. Lots of fun. Sold it for a BMW 320i. I love all these cars :)
Perhaps FE has something to do with your driving style and of course how you plan the drive. I have been driving a manual one since 7 years and not once has the FE dropped below 11 in Pune City and daily commute in stop-go traffic and on highways, depending on roads and speeds, I have always got been between 17 and 22kmpl.
@@jayapreethvasisthamj5970 yes the automatic one comes with a torque convertor which is well known for single digit FE.
I drive a manual jazz and it does feel uneasy during in gear accelerations but never felt it is underpowered on highways it pulls great past 2000 rpm, maybe the cvt is the reason in your case
Still running my Crio. Drives like it's new!
I too want to convert my brio to crio where can i get L15 Engine and do the swap, please reply
How about a swap with a Honda Civic Engine ?
Where are you from brother ??
Next project car😇😇😇😇a discontinued one…how🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Can we swap the Engine of Renault Kwid with bigger Duster's...????
Bro would like to know your height... just to know how would the ergonomics for a 6ft driver. Thanks
I am 5'11. I still own my honda brio 2014. No issues with ergonomics. Hope this helps
my uncle is 6.1 and weigs 110Kg, he feels more comfortable in Brio than in Duster. its front seats are brilliantly designed, very ergonomic, your knees wouldn't touch centre console, leg space is good, back support is very high, steering position, gear knob position etc.. It is most comfortable as a 2 seater whatever be your height or build.
@@paraggupta9562 Thanks for the reply!
@@paraggupta9562 as a bit experience with all honda cars i can say your won't feel lack of space in it surprisingly
We had this one before... it was really agile
Do one on Polo 1.2 TDI! Not much information on the parts...
I don't know how Honda Tuned the Amaze/Jazz in petrol😂😂😅
I have drive over 1lakh km it is one of the best car i had
I have one Red Colour 👍
I m impress ,what a mailage, 29 km/l ,,,on highway with ac speed 60km/h
This channel is Sr moto world lite
Wow didn't know about it can be upgradable it can be underdog
Let me tell you one thing from a "Bonestock" 5 year experience of the BRIO. Very Very poor Kmpl return. I used to get 7kmpl in the city. Hoon it and you'll get a 5er! But that said, it Revs like a true Honda! And as well took whatever i threw at it. few PROs and CONs:
PROs:
1. Kerbweight & Wheelbase
2. Very good A/C Blower. Will knock you away even at single speed!
2. Good storage areas
3. Very good maneuverability
4. Short gear throws
5. Extremely light streering wheel (For city) and picks up good weight over high speeds
6. Very good L12B NA Engine, lasts longer as well.
CONs:
1. The car tends to float at speeds over 110kmph
2. Poor Build quality (Both Interior and Exterior)
2. Bad Resale value
3. Poor Fuel efficiency (Didn't go over 10kmpl on highways despite light foot)
4. Lacks Features
5. Expensive maintenance
6. Lacks boot space
7. Decent comfort but poor under thigh support
Should I buy this or city in a 5L budget?
You should get it checked for the FE thing.
I own and drive a Honda Brio (heavy-footed, always) for the last 7 years now and have never received FE less than 10, worst being 9...
Highway economies I have seen as high as 19.8 (with AC on, ECON light active, speeds ranging between 80 to 110, occasional 120s)
On Highways with AC off in winters, I have witnessed 21kmpl too (same speeds as mentioned above)...
I have a 2012 Brio manual, I get 18 kmpl on highways with AC on, 13-14 kmpl in city...Get it checked for FE, like spark plugs, cylinder misfiring, throttle body cleaning etc.,
Never got that single digit FE on my brio, I always calculate Tank to Tank method and the least i got is 12.6 when i was cruising at 140+ speeds😅
Can someone guide me about how to go about a micra with k9k diesel engine. I see the same engine tuned to higher numbers on duster so naturally I feel I can do that with micra but I have no clue how to go about it. I am looking forward to making micra a bit more sporty and especially the Renault k9k diesel engine is such a nice one.
Contact some good tuners
Hey bro contact engineering exponent where wolfmoto tunes the cars and they are the best tuners for diesel cars especially. Slap a bmc air filter with a stage one tune and your car will do wonders
@@SukritGhate0204 thanks a lot brother. I hope this is the one in bangalore. Ill proceed in time and share it here
it almost looks like a big size go kart
indians didnt want to pay RS6 lakhs for a small car. it is ver good spacious car
What's the average in petrol
My Automatic 2018 model gives around 15 on highways and 12 in City...
Do remapping on Altroz's Revotron petrol engine , You guys got blessings from frustrated Altroz owners 🥲
bruh! swap it with a 1.8ltr vtev
Honda don't sell their critical spare parts over the counter, which is a move that hurts it customers. Don't buy Honda however good it is.
It didn't sell due to the ugly rear section
200 HP!! You are then destroying the Reliability, Balance and safety of that Engine, and then that HP might be not practical for a "Project Car".What do you think a JDM or what this is in India
Honda L12 is all about the economy and frugality.L12 has got outdated now.
I don't trust that turbo, you need something like the GT100R Turbo" package" for a car like Brio...
It's a drag and pure fun built i think the goal was to test the car to the max, they did later do another Brio with a k20type r engine
Only negative in brio is the steering.absolutely zero feel.
Count the number of times he said insane in the video to win a gift
Take a shot everytime Soham says insane! 🤪
my uncle bought it for 2.3 lakh. i was thinking why he bought such a shit car. but now doubt is clear 🙂...
Which year model???
@@chintansindhi9738 2014 or 2015 may be
Excellent car with poor mileage
Ok,if u want mileage ,u buy a Tata Nano or a Hyundai eon for a mileage of 40 to 80 kmpl .
this car bad
And you English good! 😂
I would rather waste my money on a Chevrolet beats instead of brio
Why pls tell
personal preference
Half Pant. lol
MH car
Wanna be English medium
Great that you noticed! I'm actually a TOEFL Top 10 student 😮💨
Wanna be rtard, poda punda
Amaze =super brio =garbage
Rear looks junk and car looks more like a toy lol 🤣
I loved this little car and suggested it to many including my family. Nobody liked the way it looked. I don't know why. Thought I was the wierd one with wierd choice. Now i see there are lot of weirdos like me🫡
