New Mods to the Swift Sport






I must admit that the mods I am laying on the little car is more than expected. While the initial intent was to keep it as stock as possible, I cannot resist putting more oomph into the car because it is really capable of doing more in the engineering department. However, I am keeping all mods as legal as possible. So, nothing will be done to the extractors and the exhaust will remain stock. To improve the air flow, a Sunline Racing mid-pipe was installed. The diameter is slightly larger compared to stock and the chrome steel pipe really looks good (especially after a good rub with autosol). Surprisingly, the improvement is quite significant. The pull is so much stronger and the car feels like it's lungs have expanded considerably.

To give some glam to the rear-end, I ditched the stock exhaust pipe tips and welded 2 really big tips! They fill the holes on the rear diffuser nicely and gives the car a nice sporty rear end.

Internally, I've added a Suzuki Sports foot rest and racing clutch pedal. The sports pedal is really nice and makes the clutch biting point much lower. It feels softer to press also and that helps in a traffic jam.

  3. you need to take out the original foot rest first. the big footrest is secured by screwing in the 4 screws onto the floorboard.

  4. Hi,

    You mentioned that you want to stay legal but you installed a SLR mid pipe. Just wondering if that is really ok with LTA... :)

    I was told that welding of muffler tips would render the exhaust illegal. Hmmm, any clues?

    I'm driving a red ZC31S in SG too. :)
