- Very excited to share my new project car with you. I ended up with this one, but it's a leaky mess so I got a good price. Now I'm going to try and fix it for as cheap as possible.

YOU SHOULDVE GOTTEN THE JAZZ/FIT.... heres praying you guys k20 swap into a fit
Used to own a 2013 sport, turned it into a track car and was sponsored by rsrs japan
Theyre brilliant cars and great on track
Absolutely love the 5 door zc31s swift sport and it’s in the best colour. We only get them in 3 door the uk and they handle so well. I miss mine I had hks forced induction kit, hks jazma exhaust with 421 manifold. Coming fault with them is that the break actuator fails on them and you will have traction control light on. Company here in the uk clcalled ctc are swift specialists and you should check them up. You should be able to get monster sport parts for them which is the business and jdm parts 🔥👌👌 Marty need to buy a Mitsubishi colt version r
Wow you guys own a lot of cars my Nan would like, she also wanted to know when you are going to grow a pair?
I’ve turbo’d this exact model! I’ve sent you an email! Would love to share it with you boys!!!
Boys just wanna say thanks for all the years of content, it’s always a treat when you guys upload new videos!
never trust someone who does oil change wearing flip flops
@@MrOvlov02 mate that’s tradition!
Jandals are the only approved footwear too be worn whilst conducting an Oil change.
@@JonoGeeGee Agreed 💯
Honestly I wouldn’t trust a mechanic that doesn’t wear flip flops while working…
Since you two are both in music industry, you could do an episode of how to properly set up the EQ @7:10 and what modifications are good if you consider audio upgrades.
Yes do it please
I was just about to ask this but decided to check the comments if anyone else was thinking the same. Hope they do
Just upgraded some speakers and would also appreciate some mighty advice on configuring a good setup :)
Best/cheapest thing you can do is get a mate to drive your car down the highway with a mic attached to his face while you take measurements (frequency response), since you're just a hobbyist something cheap like a Dayton Audio iMM-6 will do just fine, after you get your measurements assuming the results aren't horrible you can just adjust your EQ to make iron out any major kinks in the frequency response to get it as flat as you can, if you don't like a completely flat FR (which you probably wont get anyway) you can start adjusting the EQ again, hopefully without going too crazy. You should look up a few videos on youtube on how to measure loudspeakers and how to EQ.
I have some maaad audio setup in a Toyota Crown I imported from Japan... it was EQ'd in Japan but I think it's lost the settings, since it spent 4 months on a boat and the battery died, so I would also love to know this!
I know the meme about scooping the mids but I'd rather be more precise 😂
Finally the swifts are getting the love and attention they deserve
The zc31s is bullet proof. I miss mine, great handling, especially in the wet. Well done for realising it's potential.
I now drive the zc33s SSS, great cars
I did the same thing. Zc33s Is faster, but the zc31s will be always in my heart
Holy shit these are literally one of my fav cars ever. Honestly think they are one of the best daily drivers you can ever get. So excited!
I totally fucking agree
i 2nd that (or 3rd i guess)
Sure, if you're a girl on p plates
Yo, Average, you seem like a big bad boy, huh? You got your driving license yet?
@@Average.1JZ.Enjoyer bruh a swift is a good car no matter what u are saying
This is exactly why this show is amazing. Seeing Marty's reaction as soon as he saw the car the absolute excitement and then the enthusiasm as he went around looking at all the bits and pieces they could do. I have a Suzuki ignis 2020 I thought the Jimny would be as close as I got to seeing them modify a car like mine one step closer! Love it boyz
Great little cars. I’ve owned 3. I currently daily a 2007 zc31s now.
Best mods you can do is a Cusco rear sway bar, decent coilovers (Cusco,tein,etc), and basic maintenance (coil packs can go bad over time, I’ve never had the issue). Don’t bother with intake unless it’s tryforce or Suzuki sport. And full exhaust will make them scream. And don’t worry about the permanent engine light P0420, it’s classic.
If you bought a MY08 - MY11, it’ll rev a bit higher, but there is slight differences between them like ESP. My 2007 doesn’t have traction control/ESP. The shifter assembly and linkage is different as well - I replaced mine with a brand new unit because it wouldn’t go into first.
And monster sport has the best stuff for these cars if you can get it here.
I had the coil issue 😂 I’ve got a Greddy intake and full exhaust done, would love to do the suspension mods. And Yup the engine light 😂👌🏻
Glad to see these are getting some wel deserved attention and good videos about them
What's the fc like ?
Assuming it’s deliberate, love the creative mating of being a back to basics cheap build combined with the more simple camera work - love it. The purity.
Having had each gen swift, they are awesome. You've chosen the best one for the track. Last gen the Zc33s is the tightest chassis and most balanced.
Finally I see my car getting some recognition. You guys are gonna love it!
It's about time a Swift Sport is on the channel. I've owned one for 13years and it was fun. Can't wait to see the mad mods.
There was a modded one of these at a local car show and i had an EK VTIR civic, they switched the dyno to fwd and let us run, the tuned swift with an ecu, intake, exhaust (basically) track car with a roll cage made less than my stock 90's vtir civic with same engine capacity...such a testament to the old days! my civic made 116 to the wheels and the swift 110. Cannot wait to see this modded and see what the chasis can do!
Im so impressed with how these guys keep making so much quality content. How do you guys find the time!! Been watching since modding moogs girlfriends car (his car)!
The Golf, right?
How do they find the time?! This is literally their day job lol. They're not squeezing these projects in after an 8-12 hour shift at a real job lol.
@@michaelallen2501 Well Moog does make music as a job and I think Marty does something else separate but this is definitely their 9 to 5
Time to get swifty!
Also, don't have a Sport but have a 2005 swift & we just replaced the boot rubber to stop the leaking that you see in the boot. :)
This is going to be fun!
Absolutely love the fact you keep the cars relatable, really looking forward to this project 👍👍👍
No one can mistake that yellow paint on a Suzuki! So glad that a Swift Sport finally made its appearance on the channel, as I'm an owner of the newer 'Sport.
The Fake Taxi decal is mad cringe
Lmao that’s what makes the car
The water in the boot is common. Pull the tail lights, they can leak if they’re not lined up immaculately. Also there’s a vent behind the rear bumper that blocks up and water pools into them
I've got two things I wanna say:
I have a 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage which is the most similar car in the Canadian market. Same curb weight, similar gearbox, similar power output... I slapped in some coilovers and it's one of the most fun cars on the road and I love driving it.
The other thing, are you guys ever going to make a full race car and go racing? Roll cage, safety gear, etc. Come on, don't just track day the cars, go racing! I wanna see the process of going racing in Australia and see how similar or different it is compared to Canada.
Nice! I have the second gen one with 6 speeds, it's cheap, super reliable and pretty fun. I have resisted modding it so far, so I'm afraid this series will have me looking at parts online...
This shape Sport only came with 3 doors here interestingly. They are commonly used as track day cars exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
Also interesting, the newest shape Swift is actually lighter than this one, the Sport comes at under a ton with a 1.4 turbo that takes well to a remap!
I've never been so excited for a MCM build. I got to drive a track prepared one from Rent4Ring at the Nurburgring and I've never had a more fun track experience. Please, please, please do a full build and poster for this.
They still limit revs and fine ya for going over it
Got the same car as a daily a few months back, finally got around to tackling the oil cooler O-ring the other weekend. You don't really have to disconnect the exhaust or the AC, or even coolant lines. The bottom bolt is easily accessible, the top one was a pain, had to undo it 1/4 turn at a time with a box wrench from between the exhaust but saved the hassle of disconnecting anything else. Would have been easier with a ratchet wrench. Then just dangled it on the coolant lines, cleaned everything and replaced the ring. No more marking its territory ✌️
It is the little things when working on it for the first time.
How did you get lower right bolt, it seems to be completely behing cat?
@@grdiamond9a619 There's only 2 bolts, I might have been wrong about the orientation but one is easily accessible, the other is really tight but I just squeezed in there between the cat with a box wrench and worked at it a quarter turn at a time. Not the most fun job, took me a good 20 minutes to just get that one bolt out but just didn't want to unbolt anything else.
@@Vass046 hmm, very weird, I have checked mine and I'm pretty sure my filter housing has 3 screws, in triangle, one on the right is impossible to get to without moving cat.
I also checked workshop manual and it has 3 screws there too. Maybe your version is little bit different, mine is 3 door EU from 2010. But thanks on help
@@grdiamond9a619 Yeah weird one, dunno man. Mine's a 2007 4-door, same shape as the one in the video. They might have changed something over the years although should still be the M16a engine. Pretty sure it was just the 2 bolts on it. Then again I only just did the same seal on my partner's Outback this weekend so that might be messing with my memory. Either way, I got it done without unbolting anything else so should still be possible with some finger yoga...
Super hyped for this one. Been eyeing Swifts for years, finally got into a position to buy a 2019 model with a dinky little turbo on it. I can hear some turbo noises, but it needs some mods to make it choochoo.
Idk why but I'll be having the worst day and then I hear Moog and Marty calling cars nuggets over and over and I'll suddenly forget why I was upset. Excited for some more nugget action!
Definitely a Good choice, making it into a track car will be super awesome, check out the zc31s that went in Tsukuba track 💪
Suzuki swifts are cool and close to my heart , as my first car was a swift gti back in the day. The thing was made out of recycled coke cans , weighed 790kg and revved to 9000. I’ve owned 3 since and my daughter has a swift sport for her first car , a really great choice Moog. This is probably my most exciting build on the show so far. I can’t wait 👍🇯🇵🇦🇺
I have to say that this car is in very good condition from below considering it's mileage and age. I usually see rusty ones. Even the exhaust is in very good condition. I also have a Swift Sport for daily and track use (32s gen) . I wish you many smiles on the track ! 😉
A great Marty alternative i think would be a Mitsubishi Colt CZT...look them up total little pocket rockets, unsure if you ever got them in AUSTRALIA 😊
We had the Ralliart. 1.5 turbo, 5 speed, FWD. Current market price around 14k. Next one down was the VRX. 1.5 NA, but has a CVT.
Had a 2 door CZT from new in 2012, which was the last year they sold it in the UK, great little car, PX'd it in 2019.
@@GreenCrim We also got the smart forfour BRABUS. Should be cheaper than the Colt if you can find one and I think might actually be spec'd better? Same chassis and drive line though. Also be interesting to see Suzuki vs. Suzuki with an Alto Works. 3cyl turbo manual in FWD or AWD. Then too new to be a nugget, but lot of potential in a Honda N-One RS. Pretty much the driveline from a S660 but on the other axle. Basically essential to mod a Kei car anyway since the power limits stay the same, but the weights increase year after year. I mean turbo and aspirated versions of the same motor have pretty much the same output stock due to the artificial limits.
My first car in my name was a 2006 Suzuki Swift 1.5 vvt. It was a great and zippy car. Went on road trips in it many times and it always impressed me. One time i raced a 2008 nissan Altima 2.5 and i was surprised by the little swift's preformance. In the beginning it kept with the Altima but ofcourse the Altima won, nevertheless, the suzuki was able to give it a run for its money.
The power to weight ratio on them is actually one of the best. Looking forward to seeing it transform 😊
by the time he strips it all down, it's going to be insanely light and nippy. i had a mk1 scirocco that without the interior weighed only about 1500 pounds. i had a 2.0 16v 9A in it from a B3 passat. it was an absolute rocketship because it weighed almost nothing. tiny cars with a happy engine are just the best fun
My first car! Did two track days in it was unreal, definitely a car that is under the radar! It's just as fast as a standard ek4 vti, similar feel to it aswell with the 1.6 vvt engine. My boot didn't leak maybe it had been rear ended? yeah no spare tire in any of them haha
Check the vents in the rear panel behind the bumper for your leak into the boot, the seals often fail especially if it’s been in a couple hits
Excited for a new nugget! This is def a relatable lil car and im so excited for it. Such neat cars, wish we got these in the states!
Yes! Back to that nugget life. Can't wait to see what you guys do to it. Cheers
My first car was a 3 door Swift Sport, lot of fun! Now i have the latest gen
Finally getting to experience the feeling of the boys buying something we have in the shed feels pretty good!
I drive our swift through the Adelaide Hills daily to work and love how much of a gokart it is! Battle on a gokart track when they are both done?
one of the main reasons i love nuggets including my 2012 honda jazz is because when my friends with commy's and stuff talk to me they get actually mad and confused haha. then when its time to go and get fuel i dont have to take a bank loan out just to fill up my car every week :) nuggets will never die!
The wet patch in the trunk area is likely just the tire fix kit. These cans have an expiration date and if you leave them in there for long after that, they will start to leak. In the video it looks like the tire fix kit is actually fairly new, so probably the dealer noticed that it was expired and replaced it, but did not bother to clean up underneath. I have had that exact issue on my Honda Accord, it was all wet under the trunk floor but literally nowhere else inside the car, was just the leaking original tire fix that has been in there since 2008.
Do Tail lights leak?
Electronic throttle control a must if you want a racer
Had one of these a couple years back. It's a great car handling wise but it lacks power to come even faster out of corners. A turbo or a supercharger would make it spicy :)
Agreed. Swift Sports is criminally underrated. Even non-sports version has really good handling.
The price difference between the sport and the boring is pretty big tho. Remind me what extra ya get?
@@jonathanwright5550 depends what generation swift sport you get. But essentially a better gear ratio set, little more poke, some trims.
I own a modified swift track car now, can confirm the non sport also become excellent handling cars
@@RRR_Motorsports yeah if you're changing to coil overs and remaping there's probably no point in paying extra for the sport model
@@jonathanwright5550 mapping on the k14b won't yield 30kw from a tune to match the m16a.
But honestly not every fast honda is a type r
@@RRR_Motorsports didn't realize they were a different engine
Finally a suzuki Swift. Bummer you did not get the old GTI version from 89-94. I owned a 1991 GTI last year (had to sell it cos of family planning and got a 07 Impreza as a family daily) those nuggets are the fun-est cars you can drive.
Love this!MCM going back to its root, cheap and small but fun cars! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Get some nice light rims for it. Don't waste the power on moving heavy rims wheels.
For losening rust bolts, a mixture of 90% ATF oil and 10% acetone is 50% better then wd-40.
Love the color! Always hear they are very fun cars. Wish we got them here. Maximum nugget purity! That EQ setting was 100% whack.
YESSS this was my first car!! Such a fun little thing to drive, brings back so many memories. Looking forward to the build!
from painting your brake calipers in your mothers driveway in the first video I seen of you guys to what you've become today is just amazing, so glad you've worked so farking hard to get where you are, you deserve every bit of help others give you :D can't wait to see what monster you make of this random swift XD seen lots of fast ones around my town in vic.
Put it up against a RenaultSport Twingo. Also 1.6, NA, 130bhp, similar weight and suspension, and something not Japanese for a little change 😂
Definitely watching to see what they do with this since I have a Swift. Also wondering if they'll swap in the bigger 1.8 block from a Liana too.
Big block then add a turbo :)
Got one simmilar to this but made 2018 to use as an extra car. Smaller engine but with turbocharger. It's a fcuking fun car to zip around the city. Steers precise like a gocart. Did'nt expect that at all 🙂
So glad you gave the little nugget a chance! You'll be surprised by what it can do and the extend mods can be done on it! Can't wait to see what you are doing! Check out some of the mods available at some of the major Japanese tuners! I used to drive a ZC11S!
M19 Bore up kit + Turbo makes wooooooosh wooooosh
Okay, I've had 2 glasses of whiskey, but I love you guys.
Your build/work vids are always mad motivating, and the tunes that go along with always get my hyped.
Just finished replacing the warped and glassed rotors that came with my MPS (purchased August lol) and the cracked, pitted and 5mm-remaining pads, and watching this reminded me that although I've always loved working on cars, your vids always help keep me hyped. 😁
Also I'm a little jealous how little underside rust yours have compared to here in the UK. 😅
5mm!? Good couple thousand miles left in them mate! 😂
@@irishwristwatch2487 You're not wrong mate! 😂 I got so used to engine braking cos braking from anything over 40mph would violently shake the steering wheel lmao
Oh I love the swifts, I’ve thought about these multiple times. Always thought they looked great with coilys, wheels, tyres
I will absolutely die mad forever that we didn't get these in the USA because I would buy one immediately. It's so perfect. Happy for you.
Moog, the moisture in the boot is definitely the hatch rubber seal. Had this in a few Swifts I've owned and it fixed the problem. They're about $200 from Suzuki.
hell yeah, this is exciting! tiny happy hatchbacks are simply the best fun! the engine sounds perky, body is so clean, cannot wait for the track day to happen because this is going to be a tiny yellow banana riot
Well happy with this one. Been thinking of buying a Swift Sport for some time now for cheap and cheerful fun. Looking forward to see what you get up to!!!
I have one of these as my daily. Great little cars, so much fun to drive, and cheap on fuel. I can't wait to see what mods you do to this.
The Suzuki Swifts are cool as. I wish we got them in the states. We are lacking in small fun cars
So excited with this build because I have the same car and has the same problems that I fix myself. Can’t wait to see the upgrades that you are going to install in this mad nugget!
Perfect way to spend a wet sydney sunday morning along with bennys at BCW cresta vids from sick week. Up the hotel banana swift
Owning a swift myself i feel so honoured that this car finally deserves its recognition on this channel! Fun, zippy and a banana of a car!
Love the swifts, the new ones i think look kinda cool. Bit grandad ish but i would 100% rock one no problems remind me of an old VW polo or clio. The new swift in 4x4 would be sick. Same with the Ignis love um.
Finally the Underdog and Underrated Suzuki 🔥🔥🔥 thank you boys.
It will be interesting to see what Marty comes up with to battle it. How about a Renault Clio Sport?
Love the Swift.
Will be awesome once boosted.
Would totally like to see this take on both the Civics😎
Water in the boot is caused by a hair line crack in the panel seam sealer its on the roof just under where the black strip is or right at the end where the roof panel and side panels join, water follows the panel and runs down in to the boot trust me, it won't be the light seal or the wind flap behind bumper. Hope this helps 👍 i use to own a zc31's swift sport
These kinds of videos just make me so happy! Good work boys!
I think Marty should get a Glanza Turbo, a little 1.3 turbo charged nugget.
The Undisputed Champions of nugget racing strike again! Much love! LOVE THE CONTENT!
1.6 Swift Sport are well respected warm hatches in my part of the world, I thought about getting one for my first car when I was starting out. I'd still love a go of one for a fun blast! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to with it
I have the European 2 door variant of the sport and i absolutely love it. Few cars can keep up with it in the corners. It's pretty much a front wheel drive 86.
Marty's arrival at super garage in the kei truck ❤ that was class , you know he drives that thing thinking he's in the fast & the furious 😂
No way! I had one of these in red as my first car over here in the UK, can't wait to see what you guys do with it
I had one in red as well, loved it so much i now have the 18plate swift sport in the same yellow 😃 again over here in the uk
The ride was terrible, and the dashboard rattled, but it was properly good fun to drive
@@MrYAPP0 i dont know if it was because mine was the standard 1.3 but the ride was great dash did rattle though 🤣
The new swift sports are really fun though handles great and acceleration great
Had a zc11s and recently sold it and picked up a zc32s so happy with swifts and swift sports. Very fun nuggets.
I spat out my tea when you showed those EQ settings 😂
Got the next gen sport turbo, amazing little car. It goes pretty hard...Power to weight makes it a heap of fun.
The next gen after this was still 1.6 na
But 6 speed box and more power.
The zc33s was turbo however
@RRR Oh, righto thought it was the next gen lol anyway, it's a 2021
@@motorfiendz ah nice
Drove one a year ago, I really liked it, just couldn't justify selling my current swift track car to do it
You should have gotten a Swift Sport. Mighty fun cars.
Can never get tired of these guys!
We’ve owned four Suzuki Swifts, two Sports and they’ve been fantastic little cars. As long as they’ve been maintained, they’ll run forever.
It´s really nice to see that after all those years, you two guys are still sticking together like that. It´s nothing to be taken for granted.
I´m curious what nugget Marty´s gonna pick up.
Probably another daihatsu 😂😂
I was in the market for a very similar car a while back. Swifts are amazing little runarounds but still relatively expensive. For way less money the Daewoo/Chevrolet Kalos (or Aveo, depending on market) is a great alternative and ticks all the boxes!
The most common oil leak is an O ring on the back of the Oil filter adapter that repositions the filter for FWD applications
Swift is a really fun car. They are simple and easy to work on. I always wanted to do some stuff with my swift but never got the right information. Now I can learn from your knowledge, as always, and work on my car too. This will be a huge great series for me now I can also make my car a fun track car. Please do a video on tuning the car, or an aftermarket ECU.
Thank you for this and as always love the content and now especially this series, as it's the car that I also have I can relate even more.
Excellent purchase mate. I did a weekend on the Nordschliefe in 2009 with a 3 door swift sport with a mob called rent for ring, it was stripped out and caged with proper suspension and brakes and exhaust. Definitely the most fun iv ever had on 4 wheels, an absolute brilliant car with massive potential, very underrated.
I want to see Marty buy a nugget too but also want to see 2sexy back in action.
I’ve turbo’d this exact model!!! I need to get in contact with you guys! It makes 180hp at the wheels with a Haltech 1500 ECU and TD04 turbo!
Legit stoked for this whole series and to see what Marty buy. I love Suzuki swifts
About time you do a swift, thank you for the mcm tax my sport will be worth a fortune now
I've got a Swift ZC32S and was wondering how long it would be before you guys realised the delicious nuggety goodness they hold. Ideal daily, fun and cheap to run. Mines been leaking oil for some time now and I think mine might be the same issue.
YOU dont understand how HAPPY I AM that you finally got SWIFT OMG !!!!
Can't wait for you to turbo this!
I think Marty might go for a Honda Jazz/Fit. It's another really fun small car and there's loads of them around.
My dominos store had one of these before it was crashed… the most fun I’ve had flogging around streets delivering pizza 🍕
Hey Moog, greetings from Italy! I'm a proud owner of a Swift NZ (1.3 liter diesel manual) since 2015. I can guarantee you that water in the boot is not a common thing and yes: the wearing of the driver seat in that particular spot is common. It's a little agile nugget, if you are willing to turbo it i suggest you to wide up wheels and tires just a bit :)
I reckon those orbie things are shrunken gel balls from gel-blasting. I recognise those orbie things bc I have the same issue in my car XD
I mean the trio of clarkson, hammond, and may like the suzuki swift. Enough said.
No name tires? I take whatever I get with the vehicle as long as it's OK doesn't matter if they're all matching let's be honest edit here its still not crx dont care lol have fun with the build though
My first car Suzuki swift ... loved it honestly such a great car :) 3 door
Man I'm always so excited and hype for every new build, especially small nuggets! I reckon this lil Swift looks actually really good already. Loving the color and the tasteful lil mods that come I assume with the sport edition. MAAAAAD!
