Hi, any 1.4 AT owners here can share with me their cruising RPM @ 110km/h? I changed my exhaust setup and felt my cruising RPM is quite high @ 3000. Or is it normal?

Exhaust set up will NOT affect your gear ratio.

Hmm, i thought it might have an effect if there is shift in the power band. Is my understanding wrong? The ratio is fixed but due to the shift, higher rpm is required to maintain the speed (on the assumption that the same amount of power before is now available at higher rpm).
*
Shift in power band does not mean highway cruising RPM will change.

Hello, I have a 1.5 Auto 2009 Swift and the gear shifting is rough and jerky for the past few months.  Can anyone share what is wrong and recommend a reliable mechanic to fix the problem?

I have asked my regular mechanic and he can't fix the problem.  Cleaned the throttle body and changed transmission fluid.  He asked me to take the car for a long distance drive to Penang etc.

Thanks in advance.

Could be a bad gearbox.

bro, wanna ask, what is your review on the spring / absorbers pairing you have there?

i hope you dont mind me asking where you bought the zc31s springs from?
*
I love it a lot. Brought my Swift to Sepang, couldn't be any happier.

For street driving, it may be a bit on the firm side, but taking corners means very little roll, if any at all.

But from the looks department, I still got that stock-ish ride height. good for traversing through our shitty roads, really.

Bought the springs from a friend. I'm pretty sure u can find the ZC31S springs easily from mudah or FB groups

FYI I just bought a 2008 manual one for just rm29k with original mileage from new at 118k km.

Good car to practice manual.

But remember to replace all the wear and tear items

This is for the earlier 1.5/16 models, but should be the same for the 1.4 la

I am looking at 2nd hand Swift (not sport nor manual)
- What mechanical defects should I be looking out for apart from the standard service ?
- Is year 2012/13 onwards a good model to lookout for ? But OK to spend for the 2014/15 shape too, if the price is worthwhile. They are around RM40k right ?
- Does the non sport version give a good ride and comfortable long distance drive ? (for example KL to ipoh highway)
- I am all about fuel efficiency. Should I look for the 1.4, or 1.5 L model ?
*
For a used car, do these checks

All front end bushes, including subframe bushes, stabilizer link bushes.

Steering rack may make noise when going over rough roads. Find a good mechanic to diagnose it, whether is it the rack that is faulty or the brake caliper pin that needs to be replaced.

The later model Swifts are fine, but the 1.4 models (ZC71/72) is lighter and it shows. Door close sound also less solid than the earlier 1.5 models (ZC21)

Yes, good enough. Just make sure your shocks have been replaced if they're old.

If fuel efficiency is what you want, get a Myvi instead. Swift models generally have just about average fuel economy. But if still want a Swift, the 1.4 might save a bit more than the 1.5

bro, the brake caliper pins, where did you get yours changed? or do you know where i can change this. i have been having this issue since almost from the first year i bought my swift.

also, the swift sport springs, quite difficult to get in mudah. if you happen to know someone selling, may i ask you to recommend to me?
*
Brake caliper pin can get from here -> https://www.lelong.com.my/suzuki-swift-1-4-...9-02-Sale-P.htm

You can either DIY pasang or get a worskhop to pasang. Just dont pasang in the shop, wont be cheap.

For parts, u can check with these two groups

https://www.facebook.com/groups/495689013808129

https://www.facebook.com/groups/322911051134238

If not, can check with this guy and see if he has stock for the ZC31S springs

thanks bro, really appreciate this.

edit: btw, the guy selling the brake calipers is none other than JEENT. previously purchased air-cond cabin filter, and now i have place order / purchased the brake caliper pins from him already. small world

Oh btw, my suspension set up can be rather bumpy, even on relatively smooth roads.

which is why i'd prefer to pair it with sachs shocks? do you think it will be a better ride that way?

i still have no luck on the swift sport springs. sai heng autopart also out of stock at the moment.

The Swift Sport springs are firm by design, not sure how it'll respond when paired with Sachs shocks.

But if you don't care about all those, well, the handling is really enjoyable.

anyone know how to remove the aircon vent drivers side on the SSS? small broken piece of plastic from my handphone holder dropped inside  bangwall.gif

Looking at this passenger side air vent, I think it should give you a good idea on how to remove it.

Yo guys, I am looking to buy my first car and wondering if a 2nd hand Swift is a good choice. I won't be driving that much, mostly driving out on weekend and weekday occasionally. Is it hard to find a SC for swift and is it recommended at all to buy a 2nd hand Swift?

Thanks in advance guys!

Its a decent enough car for the price you pay.

That could have been us. We could have driven the hell out of this car. And when the economy tanked in the Recession, gas prices spiking, Suzuki could have made a killing. Hell, if you ask me, the Suzuki Swift would have saved Americans from hurting in the global financial crisis—if not averted it entirely.

Get the manual Swift Sport, it's a perfect little pocket rocket for a weekend fun car. It's expensive for its class but it's really worth it as it's miles better than anything else in the same class. The car is a pretty simple car so repairs & maintenance is easy for just about any workshops, no need to go to SC. Parts are also still easy to find.

Hi there,

another question, do you know which double din casing i need to get?

i bought a sony xav-ax 100 online now looking for the casing (facia plate) for zc32s

Tks
*
Any ZC32S face plate should work.

Edit:

Sai Heng Autopart @ Puchong might have a JDM one (better quality)

Drop me a message if you need his number
