Which one of them would you recommend for performance modification and replacement of worn parts (like front grill, etc.)?
*
Hmm depends on what things you want to do. They all can modify Swifts, and do regular maintenance. I'd say maybe check out no.2 first because he has some rare after market parts when last time I went there.

hello all, thinking of getting a used ZC32s, wondering if it would be difficult to get spare parts in KL area?
*
No, it's not, still plenty of parts available either new or used/half cut.

Is the swift lock steering not good enough?

Do u think its ok to mod a 12 year old car? Or should just buy new car?

I hve changed my normal swift to swiftsport bodykit..add spoiler ever since day 1
Lately i just changed the radio for it to have bluetooth
I was thinking maybe to change rim or paint the car

Safety is always just additional precaution/deterrent. Std steering lock is already well known by every car thief of how to break it. Actually my common steering pedal lock is also easy to break. The best is put as many safety measures as you can, steering locks, pedal locks, even some hidden kill switch or system password like Clifford Black Jax. It's all comes down to you, how secure you feel about your car.

So far for my Swift I have 2 additional locks actually, one pedal to steering and another is steering to dashboard. Both are common locks but if someone wants to steal mine then he will see that he needs to break 2 more additional locks hence might increase his risk. Hopefully that's enough to deter them from choosing my car and instead steal other people's car which don't have those additional locks. It's all a game of risk.

Agree .i been in fb and see so many cars stolen even those high techs cars hence my concern

Tq for the info. Been using the car for long time and i thought the steering lock is good enough. And even if the car can start without keys..the car will off on its own after few metre but im sure its hackable now. How bout gps?

Pedal lock is good but the hassle to go down and unlock it might be an issue as my parents might got back pain
But u mention got steering to pedal..gonna look into it

So far i hve changed a few..like absorber compressor bearing all those internal thingy..im also looking to changed the exterior but ya so far i think the car aged well but quite worried to change too much because already more than 10 years
*
The Clifford blackjax I think it's very good and not that easy to beat. Just a bit inconvenient coz everytime you need to punch in the code before driving.

Pedal to steering is the normal lock with the twin hook and lock in the middle. You can buy additional lock which locks the steering spoke then got the stick protruding to the dash on top. I use both of those in the Swift but I don't use the Blackjax. Blackjax I use on my other car.

GPS doesn't prevent from getting stolen, only help tracking it back if the thief doesn't yet discover it.

Hello Swift Owners,

Just bought a 2009 Swift Sport Manual. The exhaust is very loud thus i am looking to restore back the original SS twin tip exhaust. Any chance anybody selling here?

Will be looking to bring to Fineworks as soon as MCO is over for fluid change and checks for any replacement needed.

Thanks

Post in the FB club, got many halfcut sellers there who should have the stock muffler. I used to have one but had sold it a few months ago. But are you sure you want the stock muffler, or have you heard how it sounds stock? Cuz I personally don't like it. It makes the engine sounds like choking and screaming in pain, making me feel pity to rev it! 😅

Haha to be honest, I went tested another other 2 Swift Sports before settling on this 3rd car that I viewed. All of them have modified exhaust system from the headers all the way back. Have not sat inside a stock one. If there is a toned down version but not restrictive, any recommended brand or model?

My current exhaust, I think the guy at the next street can hear me coming  😅
*
I use Suzuki Sport Type X rear muffler, and replaced the manifold with 4-2-1 headers without catalytic converters so also quite loud BUT it's not droning loud. If constant throttle then it's just a bit raspy then only roars loud if you press, but it's not booming or droning bassy loud.

Suzuki Swift 2010 1.5GLX ZC21, Full tank can run 300-320KM only is that normal? but my one is auto not manual

No, that's a bit too thirsty. At least I expect to reach 360-380km when the warning light comes up. But FC is highly dependent by driving style also.

But my car max also 310-320KM only for city drive, if at highway drive from KL house to Penang house ngam ngam 360KM+++ like that then need to hit oil dy, at the meter show average is 9.0KM/L
*
Too thirsty for such small car with low powered engine. Should be at least 10km/ltr. My Sport is at 10.5-10.7 on the digital meter but if measured manually per 1 tank sometimes can reach 11-12km/ltr. Constant highway drive should easily reach 430-460km.

Ya, I dunno car geh things so just follow it, what the recommended tyre pressure for small swift? How many KM/Per Tank you can run?
Wahhh, 430-460KM is so big difference with my car, can I know what can I do about this situation?

But my car leg have to change already, The car leg will effect dou become so eat oil?
*
Try do carbon clean then top up with some fuel system cleaners (Gumout, 3M, Redline, Caltex, or Bluechem). Make sure your spark plugs are still in good condition. Try use 5w30 oil viscosity if you have been using thicker oils.

What do you mean with "car leg"?? Suspension, rims, tires??

I clean the carbon using STP dy, before clean is 250-270KM/Per Tank, after clean two time using two bottle now can run till 320KM like that, but spark plugs i dunno got problems or not, I think should be very long no change? Now using 15W-40, next service I will change to 5W-40 try...

Car Leg is 車腳 Absorber, hahahahaha
*
Which STP? You need to use cleaners that contain PEA otherwise not as effective. Those brands I mentioned above got PEA while Bluechem able to dilute water content. STP not all have PEA, I only saw 1 product from STP that states got PEA content, in a silver/grey bottle.

Change absorbers no impact on FC. If you change to bigger and heavier rims/tires then will impact FC.

QUOTE(zeng @ Apr 6 2021, 12:54 PM)
My overseas relative has a 1.2L but not me.
Your recommended tyre pressure should be displayed at the driver door pillar on your Right, almost all car users think that pressure must be followed like a religious scriptures ngam ngam, not more not less ............
which is not true.
Many do not know that the pressure reading number displayed is meant to be minimum and not ngam ngam or maximum.
Not sure what is your tyre spec/brand, if it were me I would pump to it 250 -270 kpa  for better fuel economy (say, > 11 km/L) and agility/power/pickup/acceleration.......... all complying with tyre manufacturer specs.

Note: My relative's 1.2L Suzuki has a very high recommended tyre pressure , surprisingly for a Japanese OEM.Not sure about suzuki here though.
*
So get bone jarring ride to get just little bit better FC?? No need such high pressures for a small and light car. My Swift only runs 200-210kpa and still able to get decent FC and not get tortured with harsh ride!

I use this, abit like brown kaler geh. Bought from shopee STP official store one. Haiya then need how leh abit confuse why my car so eat oil even drive highway max also 370-380KM very big difference then u geh, different around 100KM is too big difference dy
Long journey can geh 450-500KM, wow...
My one max also 370-380KM abit confuse got always service also
*
Ok that STP is also good, one of their top offering so that's why giving you some improvement. Maybe your driving is not that smooth also when pressing the gas, that plays a big role in FC. Like my wife can never match my FC despite driving much slower because she press gas more jerky/sudden and her rhythm less constant than mine. 😆

Hi All, I ended up purchasing a nicely converted Swift Sport MT ZC31S.

The car is missing an alarm system, even though it has the keyless buttons on the door and boot. Anyone has a trusted accessory shop to recommend? I’m located at Ampang, willing to travel to find the man/shop.

How much you bought?
Alarm you can check out EA Autoworks with Howie in Bukit Jalil.

Good price, is it a grey colored one? 80k mileage probably not true anymore though cuz speedometer also changed so can be any numbers there.
