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
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.
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 😂
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.
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
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
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
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
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 ✌️
@@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...
@@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
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 👍🇯🇵🇦🇺
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!
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.
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!
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)!
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.
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.
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
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 ! 😉
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.
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.
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.
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!
Thanks M&M for a great story - this takes me back to the 70’s when I bought my first car for rallying - it was a Datsun 1200 coupe with vinyl roof lining and three pedals - it was so much simpler than today’s small cars but a lot of fun - in the Summer of ‘78 I filled the tank for $2.80 and drove from Melbourne to Adelaide on one tank and the coolant temp gauge never moved past half way as I passed the occasional Holden or Ford sedan/wagon with the bonnet up steaming - I’ve preferred Japanese ever since.
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!
Exactly why I love my daily of 5 years - 2003 Toyota Corolla hatchback manual. Cheap to run and maintain while being fun to drive spiritedly and still having plenty of practicality. Originally planned on only using it as a between car until my first rear wheel drive came along but a intense hail storm made it worth more to keep and modify. So now I'm brainstorming stuff to do, leaning towards a scrambler style - street car with some rough dirt road protections plus maybe a lift and snorkle so it can be used to explore more while camping on roadtrips.
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?
Thank you for picking this model, I've been waiting for this video for almost 9 years. I have the same generation of Swift Sport, but it is the European version in 3dr ( RS416). The seats issue is normal because of how they where engineered, the front bumper gap is from the plastic bracket which is broken from small crashes. Be on the lookup for the components made out of plastic, the years have been harsh on them, even in the motor bay. You could add a turbo to the engine, this will give you around 200hp, soft just add 10hp. The water in the spare wheel bay, is from the rubber gasket seal of the hatch or from the small vent in the back, beside the plastic trim. For tires, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 K120. Good luck!
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. 😅
@@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
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.
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!!!
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!
Great little car. Had one for about 7.5 to 8 years. They are very underrated. Mine wasn't even a sport but lowered with wide 17" wheels that 72kw put a smile on my face on the right road. Was like a little go kart.
Very excited for this..i have the same one , fun little car...common problems with these are : the seal that you changed , the abs pump , the catalytic converter and the bearings in the gearbox so be sure that you have changed your gearbox oil...have fun guys and cheers from Greece!
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!
I worked at a Suzuki dealer when the Swift was released. I fell in love with the japanese "Mini". The Sport came to be a few years after the basic ones, but even the 1.3 l "big block" was a really fun car to put around. I owned once a 1988 Swift "GTi" without I the or the GT (it had the GTI panels and aero). Loved the thing. Nuggets 4 life ❤
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
It's literally a slightly heavier and faster Mazda2/Demio. I had a built up NB Miata for a decade as a daily and now have a 2012 Mazda2 because it gives the fizz like a Miata, but I can actually carry things in it. This type of car is criminally underrated and I cannot wait to watch the joy y'all get when modifying and driving this nugget around on the track. Well done, boys!
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 absolutely love these little nuggets! I own a 5 speed '08 Yaris RS 2dr. and have been thrashing that little bubble car around for 14 years now. It has been modified with header, exhaust, intake, lowered, and new sway bars front and rear. With good tires this thing rocks in the corners and is quite quick for it's class. I love that you and Marty always have these great little competitions and it inspires getting out and having fun with nuggety little cars. Can't wait to see how you guys mod this little Suzuki Swift.
I can't speak for that gen but the gen after that of Yaris has really impressive handling and steering. For an otherwise cheap and crappy car, they steer and corner really well! My main gripe is the the 1.3 is underpowered (although notably healthy sounding) and the transmission and throttle modulation is HORRIBLE. I've driven like 5 of these, all Domino's company cars haha.
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.
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 😊
@@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 fiancé has a 2015 FZ swift. The K14B engine has to be one of the easiest things to service and look after. I'm a Volkswagen guy... Always will be. But man, fixing everything with a 10mm spanner and lawn mower oil filters is great!
@@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
If I'm not mistaken this generation of Swift has a breather/air vent kind of thing behind the rear bumper that made of plastic, and eventually it'll crack or get loose over time. Then water sips in through rainy days or splashes and the spare tire compartment will get wet and long enough it'll rust. (In this case the tire fix kit compartment, which this generation swift sport doesn't has a spare tire like the normal swift does, due to increase chassis rigidity at the rear and for the big dual muffler exit clearance) Removing the rear plastic at the rear then the part can be seen as I saw the watermarks at 5:03 are coming through the rear plastic panel. Applying sealants and replacing with new plastic vents, maybe with an extra touch or replacing the rubber seal of the hatch opening and the Swift will be free of leaks :)
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.
In the past month I purchased a 2007 Honda Fit Sport. 1.5 liter four cylinder with a 5 speed manual. It is so fun! Like a formula go cart. Plus the gas mileage is amazing.
3:45 this is true in the States too, it's insane. I found my Tacoma because nobody wanted a manual. It's SO EASY to learn and now I have a tank of a truck.
Just a tip! Once you break the oil filter loose you can put a plastic baggie around it as you unscrew it to keep your hands from getting covered in oil! Keep up the amazing videos boys! Been a loyal fan for a very long time. Always look forward to all your videos. 😎
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
K20 swaps are popular here for them as their engines are near enough bulletproof but are difficult to modify without a fair bit of work, especially to squeeze horses out.
Glad you finally bought one. Things you need for sure - poly bush everything!! engine mounts will make you shift better, steering rack and rear axle will totally change the feel Stick with original size brakes, good pads and discs will be all you need, toghether with a removed interior for weight savings . mine is a 3dr with stripped interior and stock seats at 1045kg Stick with 16 inch or 15 inch, unsprung weight will affect this nugget. Add the lsd, geared not clutch plated, you will love it!!! Redo the whole exhaust system and go with a single tip exhaust, you wil be sure to get 145 bhp or more out of it, thats 20 hp gains on a NA car Remove that heat exchanger you guys fixed and go for a proper external oil cooler, you will need it. Get a good intake filter system and be sure to get the heat out of the bonnet, heat soak is a b*tch Don't go for a short shift kit, those things don't do anything good. And you guys are so lucky, it's so clean underneath 👌🏻
I’ve owned a swift for 5 years and just recently sold it. They’re great fun! Put some good tires, swaybars and coilovers on it and it handles like a go kart! Great fun small cars. And very tuneable
I drove an Aerio SX (LIANA, elsewhere) in Canada before I moved to Europe. So happy to see a Suzuki car in the shop :) I've experienced the most smiles per mile with its nuggety little j20 heart. Almost two years later and I still miss Veyronica. Smash Marty's Peugeot for me :D
Water in the boot is very common, check the aerial on the roof and the vents behind the bumper to make sure they still have the rubber blocking the holes and the seals around the lights too
I owned the latest version of SSS. Sadly I sell it to buy a house. One of the mods that would be really noticible, are the tires. I've changed from the original Continental Sportcontact 5 to Michelin pilot sport 4 and it felt like other car. Really night and day. Due to the light weight of these cars you really feel these "little" changes. Really loving that finally you got one of these cars. I've a depression and these really make my day. Thanks a lot!!!
Great choice, I had a ZC32 for about 5 years and they are an absolute blast to drive and very good on fuel as a daily driver. Get (or make) solid bushes for the gear shift mounting to remove all the slop, it really improves the feel. Note these engines use shims for valve clearance and they tend to get ignored because it's not cheap to get sorted from a dealer or garage, but it's a pretty easy DIY job and well worth checking clearances at least,
I believe I have paid 230€ at a Swift specialist garage, so if you know the right person, it's not that expensive. Suzuki would ask for more than 700€ for the same thing.
@@andylebandy That was probably just to check the shims, very often they don't need replacing. If they do they are quite pricey, I think around 14 euro each.
@@ferrumignis I gor 5 shims replaced. As shims from other cars are usually kept if in good conditions, my mechanic used second hand shims to get the perfect clearance where replacement was needed. New ones might not have had the correct thickness. After checking a bit on the internet, it is a common practice for valve shims.
I love that this has grown beyond imagining, but the ideas and the content are still balanced attainable and well done. Instead of things blowing up beyond what the average person can achieve.
I have been hoping for this for years!!! I have loved these nuggets so much and can not wait to see it ripping up a track! Always awesome to watch you guys!
Love the Swift, back in early 2000 had a mad custom blue '92 Swift GTi Turbo kit from AVO, Online Body Kit, Roll cage and a feont mount intercooler. Later also had a custom orange gold '94 GTi with full body kit, these were good times. I would alternate between cars during the week. Eventually sold both of them, now thinking back, regretting it. Fast forward a few years later, found myself an '92 Swift convertible in Adelaide, it didnt stay stock for long, found a damaged GTi, then swapped all the running gear and anything that I could swap from the GTi to the convertible, stripped and resprayed in Red with purple pearl, body kit, finally Turbo Charged it. Word on the street in Australia at the time, I had the first Swift Convertible, converted to GTi running gear and Turbo Charged, fun times. Again had to sell it. Wish list is to get back to the Swift gain, probably the newer Turbo Swift Sport.
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!
The first driving lessons that I bothered paying for were in a manual swift. Driving school was owned by a highway patrol cop who did it on the weekends, that school now has a fleet of swifts 15 years later. Great to see a new one on the road with their decals all over it and custom plates. Haha. He swears by swifts and won’t be convinced to add anything else into the fleet. For anyone interested, the guy is Craig Prestage in Wagga Wagga NSW.
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!
I owned 1 of these for 2 years and they are an awesome little gokart. Check the engine mounts as they tend to flog out and the coils as well ... otherwise I never had an issue
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!

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.

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
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.
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 ?
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
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.
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
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!

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...
YESSS this was my first car!! Such a fun little thing to drive, brings back so many memories. Looking forward to the build!
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.
Absolutely love the fact you keep the cars relatable, really looking forward to this project 👍👍👍
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
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 👍🇯🇵🇦🇺
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!
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
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
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 ! 😉
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?
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.
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!
I owned a 2009 Swift Sport and absolutely loved it. The engine was torquey and when used properly (keeping the revs high) it went like a steam train.
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.
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!
Love this!MCM going back to its root, cheap and small but fun cars! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks M&M for a great story - this takes me back to the 70’s when I bought my first car for rallying - it was a Datsun 1200 coupe with vinyl roof lining and three pedals - it was so much simpler than today’s small cars but a lot of fun - in the Summer of ‘78 I filled the tank for $2.80 and drove from Melbourne to Adelaide on one tank and the coolant temp gauge never moved past half way as I passed the occasional Holden or Ford sedan/wagon with the bonnet up steaming - I’ve preferred Japanese ever since.
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!
Exactly why I love my daily of 5 years - 2003 Toyota Corolla hatchback manual. Cheap to run and maintain while being fun to drive spiritedly and still having plenty of practicality. Originally planned on only using it as a between car until my first rear wheel drive came along but a intense hail storm made it worth more to keep and modify. So now I'm brainstorming stuff to do, leaning towards a scrambler style - street car with some rough dirt road protections plus maybe a lift and snorkle so it can be used to explore more while camping on roadtrips.
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?
Thank you for picking this model, I've been waiting for this video for almost 9 years. I have the same generation of Swift Sport, but it is the European version in 3dr ( RS416). The seats issue is normal because of how they where engineered, the front bumper gap is from the plastic bracket which is broken from small crashes. Be on the lookup for the components made out of plastic, the years have been harsh on them, even in the motor bay. You could add a turbo to the engine, this will give you around 200hp, soft just add 10hp. The water in the spare wheel bay, is from the rubber gasket seal of the hatch or from the small vent in the back, beside the plastic trim. For tires, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 K120. Good luck!
Yes! Back to that nugget life. Can't wait to see what you guys do to it. Cheers
My dominos store had one of these before it was crashed… the most fun I’ve had flogging around streets delivering pizza 🍕
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
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
Great little car. Had one for about 7.5 to 8 years. They are very underrated. Mine wasn't even a sport but lowered with wide 17" wheels that 72kw put a smile on my face on the right road. Was like a little go kart.
Can never get tired of these guys!
Very excited for this..i have the same one , fun little car...common problems with these are : the seal that you changed , the abs pump , the catalytic converter and the bearings in the gearbox so be sure that you have changed your gearbox oil...have fun guys and cheers from Greece!
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!
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.
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 :)
I worked at a Suzuki dealer when the Swift was released. I fell in love with the japanese "Mini". The Sport came to be a few years after the basic ones, but even the 1.3 l "big block" was a really fun car to put around. I owned once a 1988 Swift "GTi" without I the or the GT (it had the GTI panels and aero). Loved the thing. Nuggets 4 life ❤
Love the color! Always hear they are very fun cars. Wish we got them here. Maximum nugget purity! That EQ setting was 100% whack.
I think Marty might go for a Honda Jazz/Fit. It's another really fun small car and there's loads of them around.
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
It's literally a slightly heavier and faster Mazda2/Demio. I had a built up NB Miata for a decade as a daily and now have a 2012 Mazda2 because it gives the fizz like a Miata, but I can actually carry things in it.
This type of car is criminally underrated and I cannot wait to watch the joy y'all get when modifying and driving this nugget around on the track. Well done, boys!
These kinds of videos just make me so happy! Good work boys!
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 absolutely love these little nuggets! I own a 5 speed '08 Yaris RS 2dr. and have been thrashing that little bubble car around for 14 years now. It has been modified with header, exhaust, intake, lowered, and new sway bars front and rear. With good tires this thing rocks in the corners and is quite quick for it's class. I love that you and Marty always have these great little competitions and it inspires getting out and having fun with nuggety little cars. Can't wait to see how you guys mod this little Suzuki Swift.
I can't speak for that gen but the gen after that of Yaris has really impressive handling and steering. For an otherwise cheap and crappy car, they steer and corner really well! My main gripe is the the 1.3 is underpowered (although notably healthy sounding) and the transmission and throttle modulation is HORRIBLE. I've driven like 5 of these, all Domino's company cars haha.
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 😂😂
My first car Suzuki swift ... loved it honestly such a great car :) 3 door
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 fiancé has a 2015 FZ swift.
The K14B engine has to be one of the easiest things to service and look after. I'm a Volkswagen guy... Always will be. But man, fixing everything with a 10mm spanner and lawn mower oil filters is great!
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.
Defiantly a underrated car...Ive had an RE4 for 4 years and its never let me down..can't wait to see what you guys do with.
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
If I'm not mistaken this generation of Swift has a breather/air vent kind of thing behind the rear bumper that made of plastic, and eventually it'll crack or get loose over time. Then water sips in through rainy days or splashes and the spare tire compartment will get wet and long enough it'll rust. (In this case the tire fix kit compartment, which this generation swift sport doesn't has a spare tire like the normal swift does, due to increase chassis rigidity at the rear and for the big dual muffler exit clearance)
Removing the rear plastic at the rear then the part can be seen as I saw the watermarks at 5:03 are coming through the rear plastic panel.
Applying sealants and replacing with new plastic vents, maybe with an extra touch or replacing the rubber seal of the hatch opening and the Swift will be free of leaks :)
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.
In the past month I purchased a 2007 Honda Fit Sport. 1.5 liter four cylinder with a 5 speed manual. It is so fun! Like a formula go cart. Plus the gas mileage is amazing.
The Undisputed Champions of nugget racing strike again! Much love! LOVE THE CONTENT!
3:45 this is true in the States too, it's insane. I found my Tacoma because nobody wanted a manual. It's SO EASY to learn and now I have a tank of a truck.
It will be interesting to see what Marty comes up with to battle it. How about a Renault Clio Sport?
Just a tip! Once you break the oil filter loose you can put a plastic baggie around it as you unscrew it to keep your hands from getting covered in oil!
Keep up the amazing videos boys! Been a loyal fan for a very long time. Always look forward to all your videos. 😎
The most common oil leak is an O ring on the back of the Oil filter adapter that repositions the filter for FWD applications
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
The Fake Taxi decal is mad cringe
Lmao that’s what makes the car
K20 swaps are popular here for them as their engines are near enough bulletproof but are difficult to modify without a fair bit of work, especially to squeeze horses out.
Glad you finally bought one.
Things you need for sure - poly bush everything!! engine mounts will make you shift better, steering rack and rear axle will totally change the feel
Stick with original size brakes, good pads and discs will be all you need, toghether with a removed interior for weight savings . mine is a 3dr with stripped interior and stock seats at 1045kg
Stick with 16 inch or 15 inch, unsprung weight will affect this nugget.
Add the lsd, geared not clutch plated, you will love it!!!
Redo the whole exhaust system and go with a single tip exhaust, you wil be sure to get 145 bhp or more out of it, thats 20 hp gains on a NA car
Remove that heat exchanger you guys fixed and go for a proper external oil cooler, you will need it.
Get a good intake filter system and be sure to get the heat out of the bonnet, heat soak is a b*tch
Don't go for a short shift kit, those things don't do anything good.
And you guys are so lucky, it's so clean underneath 👌🏻
Legit stoked for this whole series and to see what Marty buy. I love Suzuki swifts
I own a Swift GTI that's been turboed and is an awesome track car.
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!
I’ve owned a swift for 5 years and just recently sold it.
They’re great fun!
Put some good tires, swaybars and coilovers on it and it handles like a go kart!
Great fun small cars.
And very tuneable
Finally I see my car getting some recognition. You guys are gonna love it!
I drove an Aerio SX (LIANA, elsewhere) in Canada before I moved to Europe. So happy to see a Suzuki car in the shop :) I've experienced the most smiles per mile with its nuggety little j20 heart. Almost two years later and I still miss Veyronica. Smash Marty's Peugeot for me :D
Water in the boot is very common, check the aerial on the roof and the vents behind the bumper to make sure they still have the rubber blocking the holes and the seals around the lights too
I owned the latest version of SSS. Sadly I sell it to buy a house. One of the mods that would be really noticible, are the tires. I've changed from the original Continental Sportcontact 5 to Michelin pilot sport 4 and it felt like other car. Really night and day. Due to the light weight of these cars you really feel these "little" changes. Really loving that finally you got one of these cars. I've a depression and these really make my day. Thanks a lot!!!
Great choice, I had a ZC32 for about 5 years and they are an absolute blast to drive and very good on fuel as a daily driver. Get (or make) solid bushes for the gear shift mounting to remove all the slop, it really improves the feel. Note these engines use shims for valve clearance and they tend to get ignored because it's not cheap to get sorted from a dealer or garage, but it's a pretty easy DIY job and well worth checking clearances at least,
I believe I have paid 230€ at a Swift specialist garage, so if you know the right person, it's not that expensive. Suzuki would ask for more than 700€ for the same thing.
@@andylebandy That was probably just to check the shims, very often they don't need replacing. If they do they are quite pricey, I think around 14 euro each.
@@ferrumignis I gor 5 shims replaced. As shims from other cars are usually kept if in good conditions, my mechanic used second hand shims to get the perfect clearance where replacement was needed. New ones might not have had the correct thickness. After checking a bit on the internet, it is a common practice for valve shims.
I love that this has grown beyond imagining, but the ideas and the content are still balanced attainable and well done. Instead of things blowing up beyond what the average person can achieve.
I have been hoping for this for years!!! I have loved these nuggets so much and can not wait to see it ripping up a track!
Always awesome to watch you guys!
Love the Swift, back in early 2000 had a mad custom blue '92 Swift GTi Turbo kit from AVO, Online Body Kit, Roll cage and a feont mount intercooler. Later also had a custom orange gold '94 GTi with full body kit, these were good times. I would alternate between cars during the week. Eventually sold both of them, now thinking back, regretting it. Fast forward a few years later, found myself an '92 Swift convertible in Adelaide, it didnt stay stock for long, found a damaged GTi, then swapped all the running gear and anything that I could swap from the GTi to the convertible, stripped and resprayed in Red with purple pearl, body kit, finally Turbo Charged it. Word on the street in Australia at the time, I had the first Swift Convertible, converted to GTi running gear and Turbo Charged, fun times. Again had to sell it.
Wish list is to get back to the Swift gain, probably the newer Turbo Swift Sport.
Had a Swift as my first car, such a fun bucket to chuck around corners!
2:48 I see a man of culture had this car
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!
Love how Moog called it, Marty is already on the phone by the end of the video. Great stuff!
Moog your edits from washing the car to brining it in the workshop onto the hoist was excellent. Perfect timing
The first driving lessons that I bothered paying for were in a manual swift. Driving school was owned by a highway patrol cop who did it on the weekends, that school now has a fleet of swifts 15 years later. Great to see a new one on the road with their decals all over it and custom plates. Haha. He swears by swifts and won’t be convinced to add anything else into the fleet.
For anyone interested, the guy is Craig Prestage in Wagga Wagga NSW.
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!
I owned 1 of these for 2 years and they are an awesome little gokart.
Check the engine mounts as they tend to flog out and the coils as well ... otherwise I never had an issue
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!
