Car plans
I know I haven’t updated this for a while, so this may be a biggie xD
Plans
I’ve spent the last few months being skint as hell paying off credit card debts, but they are finally being cleared and I should be debt free (minus the car) after April. Now I have spent the last 3 – 5 months planning all the mods I want to do to the car over the next 2 years (sad I know). The most for-seeable (if that’s even a word LOL) are:
Window Tints – March 2009
Getting a good deal with R-Tec, about 7 or 8 of us from the Swift Owners Club are getting them done at the same time and getting a photoshoot with Performance Car Magazine I believe, but we are still trying to sort a date out for that
Alloys – May 2009
Now I’ve still not made my mine up about these, it will either be OZ SuperTurimso’s that I will get painted black with a red rim;
or the Wolfrace Pro-Sprints in black with a red rim;
Suspension – May 2009
I don’t want to go mega low as the roads here are fucking abysmal, but I don’t want the stiffness of lowering springs so I am going to go for coilovers. Personally, I’d never heard of the company MesiterR but they have registered with the Swift Club and made some coilovers to fit the Swift Sport, not too expensive when compared with other makes too. I’ll get these fitted the same time as the rims with an initial drop of about 45 – 50mm
Exhaust
There is a shop around the corner from me called Predator Motorsport, some of you may have heard of it, but they specialize in motorbike exhaust systems. I have enquired and my boss has had them make a custom back box, which I will also do and maybe a custom centre section as well.
Cosmetic changes
Want to go completely JDM/Track look with this, as I want it to be a track car in the years to come. This is the kit I’ve picked out so far:
Front Lip
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Side Skirt
I also have some simple decals designed to make it stand out
Other changes
There are lots of other small things I want to do/change, like uprated brake pads, red brake calipers, front and rear strut braces, weight reduction, maybe a proper bucket seat but I can wait for that. In two years, I’m looking to turbo it as well
Let me know what you think, and anything you’d do different (put some new ideas in my head!)
Here is a chop of what I see it looking like once I’m finished, but my car is red xD

Hello, I’ve just bought a Swift and was looking for some ideas for low cost yet affective modification. Some of the asthetical changes to these designs are very impressive. Can you talk me through the alterations you’ve made to the lights and the glass. As both look a more tinted colour than off the production line…
Any furthur tips would be helpful?
Thanks Ian
