Good day everyone 9 years owner of Swift Sport ZC31S reporting in. Just stumbled upon this thread.

Glad to see many still enjoying the good old ZC31S, thou mine no longer daily driven now she's still put a smile on my face whenever I drive her and making me using the longer route home. The joy of small hatch with good body to power ratio this is.

Mine still running strong even after 9 years. With proper maintenance this thing can last for ages and take the beating you throw at it. smile.gif

Bought one 2010 auto recently. everything on stock, no modification. Just Feel steering not so precise when cornering, anything to look out for?
Is it normal that gap between tyre and fender at front narrower then at the rear?
Car looks like kind of sink in front. absorber or spring problem?
*
Maybe check the absorber top mounting, sometimes already changed to wrong size which is smaller hence can wobble.

Can i know how much does the rrp super ecu cost? Computer and the remap. And where did u bought it from? Trying to get one of those, now surveying for prices. Cheers!!
*
I just got the map loaded into the stock ECU for rm300. If you buy separate ECU then would cost a lot more.

i was a suzuki 1.5 2008 owner until 2018. then sold it off replace with a polo volks.

the polo volks got a higher top, but the prob is, it is not like swift.. where you drive u feel like speeding. in Polo, u drive, u feel like relax only. drive slow2 like org tua. 

Now im searching back the fun and probably aiming the sport zc31s. seems like alot in mudah.

my question is.. will i enjoy the drive ( 140km daily ) with the sport model? aiming to buy one by end year this year.
*
Well I personally feel 140km daily in this car would be a bit much but of course people might have different level of tolerance to harshness so its up to you. The ZC31S manual is more suitable just for fun short drives, not for long drives especially due to its' short gearbox ratios and rather stiff suspension. If you want for longer drives then probably better to buy the newer ZC32S because its more comfortable and has 6 speed gearbox but the price is about double the ZC31S.

oh my really? that's too bad. kinda remind me of my old proton with short shift gb. its very uncomfortable riding the highway and no such thing as a relaxing drive.

Well, i have to do a research again.

Worst come to worst i'll just get any temp car and keep saving until i get my dream car.

Thanks for your advise.
*
If you just drive it slow like around 80-90kph on the highway then still not bad as the rpm is lower, just slow only. 😂

haha defeats the purpose already.

once in a while i do like to drive very fast.

My decision came down to this car also due to the mild explosive power from cruising to speeding then back to cruising again..  tongue.gif
*
There is a taller 5th gear though that will drop the rpm by about 500 in 5th, so instead of 110kph@4000rpm, it will be 3500. Still high but not as high strung. I also already bought this 5th gear kit, just waiting for time to install it.

god damn that's high.

In comparison, my polo D6 ( 6th gear ) at 110kph are 2500rpm.

i always cruise below 2000rpm.

How much did it cost you?

110kph@ 4000rpm is high indeed.
*
I bought the gear set used for rm1.1k, not yet including installation which probably need another rm200.

wat wat wat, u cant have any suzuki sport discussion here without me.
owned 3 swifts;
1. 1.5 auto
2. 1.5 manual zc31s
3. 1.6 manual zc32s

unfortunately sold coz coudlnt fit stroller for my kid, n when installed baby seat theres no space at the back at all in the zc32s.

since then bought hrv, have 2 babies now (human ones) and then moved on to motorcycling!
*
That's a pity. I would love to buy ZC32S if not for the price that is double than ZC31S.

hey guys, im in the midst of getting a manual ride with the budget of 25-30k.

had a few cars in mind such as Inspira 1.8M or even those old school B-series EKs and lastly ZC31S.

so far i only found this unit on Mudah but i am yet to check out the car.

also, anyone here has the link/name for the FB group?

Oh yeah this too, but it was advertised by multiple salesman so I'm a little skeptical of it. What are the usual things to look for while checking out the car?

Thanks for the FB group names, will join now .

It's a pretty simple traditional car so nothing special to check. Usually will have some leaks from the cam cover and oil filter adapter. 1st and 2nd gear are notchy when downshifting. Noises from suspension and under carriage due to worn out lower arm bushings, wobbly absorber top mount, stabilizer links, caliper pins, antiroll bar bushings, and engine mounts. The front antiroll bar bushings and centre engine mounting are quite a big work to replace because need to dismantle lower sub frame.

I am looking for a first car and this has been on the very top of my list since the beginning. But I want to know if it's expensive to modify and are there specialist that mods this little pocket rocket in kl? What to look out for when buying one?

Got a few Swift specialists like Stephen Loh from Fineworks Garage, Derrick from DRN Kaiso Auto, and Cwtan Wing. Can check in the Facebook Swift Club.

Parts are reasonable but not cheap. Typical issues are:
Cam cover and oil filter adapter leaking
Antiroll bar bushing
Lower arm ball joints and bushings
Engine mounting
Absorbers and strut tops
Caliper pins
Notchy shifter
