Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2006 The bright yellow ones are all swift sports - "Champion Yellow" I paid retail - $24990 - pretty cheap for what you get! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 Yuh, that is pretty cheap.... What is the difference between 'Sport' version and standard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2006 In short - a lot - even the unibody is stronger Powered by a longer stroke version of the twin overhead camshaft engine used in the 1.5-litre Swift hatchback, the 1.6 litre Sport comes with an upgraded suspension and larger diameter aluminium alloy wheels, plus unique bodywork and equipment changes inside and out. Building on the strong qualities of the latest Swift, the Sport version is 23 per cent more powerful and its engine produces 11 per cent more torque than the 1.5 litre version which continues as the mainstream model. The 16-valve, 1,586cm3 M16A engine was developed exclusively for the Swift Sport and runs on a compression ratio of 11.0 to 1. With variable valve timing and electronic throttle control to maximise responsiveness, the lightweight engine with high-lift camshafts, develops 92 kW at 6,800 rpm and 148 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm. The Sport’s rev counter red line of 6,800 rpm compares with 6,500 for the standard Swift. The intake manifold is widened and the internal surfaces polished to enhance airflow while the oil jet cooled pistons are warm-forged or shot-peened for added strength. A high capacity exhaust has been fitted to the Sport, with twin pipes that make a strong statement. Despite the 200 km/h top speed and brisk 0 to 100 km/h time of 8.9 seconds, the Sport is surprisingly fuel-efficient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCEIVN 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2006 any modifications you plan to make? Perhaps full race cage, buckets harnesses, fullt weight reduction and turbo could be a small start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 4, 2006 FWD - There are a few turbo kits for it that bring it up to around 190 rwhp - it would be a weapon. Not doing anything untill it's out of warantee though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not doing anything untill it's out of warantee though. Just to be picky, I think you mean fwhp. Unless the turbo actually give you rear drive configuration instead of front. Just a small detail. I do like these little bastards, have been thinking about one for the Girlfriend. Going to get one as a test car for a few days to see it it suits. Turbo'd one would be insane. Crazy little Jappers.

ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 Just had my hair cut. My Hairdresser, bless her, just mentioned that she had bought none other than a new Swift GTi (red of course!). Reckons it is brilliant, much better than her old Ford Escape V6. There you are Andrew, you have the same car as my hairdresser. I bet that has made your day, mate!
