Maruti Swift Rear Wheel Drive - Too Much Fun On A Budget | Faisal Khan

Hi guys and welcome to another vlog, I'm driving this, this is the Maruti Suzuki Swift rear wheel drive, this is the first generation model, this is the Swift 1.5, no it does not have a 1.5 litre engine, but I'll explain in a bit. This car belongs to Harsh from Sportech, so thank you so much for lending it to me, check the pinned comment and straight away we are going to be opening the front, I'm not calling it the engine bay because there is no engine here, instead, that is the fuel tank which is like 43 litres in terms of capacity, there is the battery right below, so why have they shifted the fuel tank ahead and where the hell is the engine, anyways, washer fluid, not there, wipers are also not there, weight reduction, not really, lot of fiberglass has been used to reduce the weight of the vehicle and if you notice, you can't notice right now but the tyres are very much offset, yeah, so weird the way the tyres have been done because the front tyres are more grippy, these are reverse staggered tyre setup, so front ones are wider 185s, rear ones are 165s, rear ones are crap quality, JK tyres of course, front ones are actually MRF, so better quality at the front, worse quality at the rear, so this car can actually drift, meanwhile, you get these clips here to hold the bumper, weight reduction has happened for sure, the car has been lowered quite a lot and the reason it does not have a wiper or wipers is because these vents are very much functional, so water will get inside, in fact, these vents are also functional, you get an antenna right there and this being the first generation of the Maruti Suzuki Swift has now become a 3 door model because the rear doors do not open and yes, this is fiberglass, the door does not open, the window does not open, all of this has been done to reduce the weight of the vehicle, fuel does not go in right here anymore because the fuel tank is obviously at the front which I just showed you, meanwhile, rear tyre, well, crap quality, 165, 70, 14 and there is a spray, the washer fluid is actually connected to the rear, so the spray comes here, so how does this actually work, you obviously know that when you run the car a lot, the tyres warm up, they offer you better grip, how do you reduce the grip, well, by putting water because that cools the temperature of the tyres and then you can drift and that's the reason this car has that system of spraying water to the rear tyres, so this car can actually go and drift. From the rear, a typical Maruti Suzuki Swift, the first generation model, it has a rear spoiler which is quite useless, no rear wiper, washer because obviously, this is again fiberglass, branding of the workshop has been done there because they had to open it so that air could flow from there and this is clipped right here, it's very difficult to remove, so I've actually gone ahead and opened it because you need both your hands and some effort, so here is the engine, there it is, it's a G13B, floor is not there only, so it's completely open right there, this air intake is supposed to go right on the top to breathe directly and it has got two fans here as well but yes, the engine is going to heat for sure and that's the reason it has this firewall so that it doesn't push the engine heat, it does when the car is idling and gets a roll cage as well, so there is no spare wheel or anything of that sort, you don't expect it either, where is the exhaust, well, the exhaust is placed here and this is actually the provision for the rear fog, so yeah, definitely it looks quite interesting, it's obviously very stiff, low ground clearance, staggered tyre setup because they've done a camber just to make the car unbalanced so that it can go drifting and we will straight away get inside, firstly this car has no key, yeah, it has been bypassed, you get these sporty pedals from Sparko, roll cage which is not a regressive, so getting in and out is not difficult, you get proper power windows, at least the front ones work but adjusting this manually is a tough task because you definitely cannot reach till there, regular seat, you get a sporty seat here, bucket seat with sporty seatbelt, yes, it has got racing seatbelts as well, so let's straight away get inside, there is a provision for fog lamp, there is no fog lamp in this car at all, okay, it's not that bad getting in and out, it gets this Sparko racing steering wheel which is too far ahead, it's not adjustable, it says horn, there is no horn in this car, instrument cluster is the same as before, anything in the glove box, well, there is the engine kill switch I think, meanwhile, there is a fire extinguisher right here which is very much needed in such a car, now, the roof lining has been removed and that's the reason that headroom seems quite a lot but they have retained the light which obviously does not work now, you have a hydraulic handbrake if you want to drift with the handbrake but you don't need to because you can drift on power, this new gear lever, completely exposed, taller and I think number plate and all that, so it's a little messy around here because lot of exposed bits, air conditioning, audio system, you would never be able to hear it because the car is super loud, that clock 550 rupees option back in the day, I remember because I bought one, the Swift obviously with this generation, so tell me how do you turn on the car, this is for one of the fans, this is for the second fan, I put this switch up and then car is in gear, so it's moving, so I press the start button and there it goes to life, oh my god, it is super loud, so let's just kill it, it's a very cool way to actually turn on the car, this handbrake now, I mean you really don't need to use it because the car is not really going to move ahead as such, so yeah, it's quite sporty and super duper loud from the interior front where it looks more or less the same, but thankfully we have this thing to protect the heat from coming inside, it doesn't really help much because at idle, oh my god, I can feel all the heat, anyways, let's start driving right away, alright, let's turn on the car, going through the sequence and there it goes to life into first gear and off we go, first gear, I don't know what speed it does because it produces 87 horsepower and 114 Newton meters of torque, but this car has got coating and polishing, headers, it's got a pre-pro exhaust, actually it's a straight pipe exhaust and obviously it's got a custom air filter as well and the result is that it obviously sounds very loud but it also does drive quite well, now I'm just going to initiate a drift here, here we go, that is absolutely crazy, the way this car does its traction and drifts at any given speed, yeah, it's possible to do it at any gear, it does drift and it does drift a lot but it's not fizzing, more or less, it's crazy loud and the car moves all over the place because of the offset tyre setup, now you really have to keep correcting, the steering has no feel either, so it can get a bit tricky to drive this car, not a bit, quite a lot tricky to drive this car and the tyres are always screeching, the tyres don't have grip, they're always protesting saying, is what they are saying, ride quality is really very bad and because of the loud engine now, it can be very very very uncomfortable, firstly the gearing is quite tall and then it also retains quite high, now this one is 1.3 litre in terms of displacement, so obviously refined it quite a lot and it's not very fast as such, so you have much and then only it circles around, ride is very bad, handling is decent, I wish the steering had more feel or feedback but this is not a drift machine, this is more of a donut machine because that is where it feels more comfortable, there's another strip, there's so many strips around, so how does it drift, well it does drift on power, you can pull the hydraulic handbrake to drift as well but it drifts on power very easily, all you need to do is come into first gear and there we are into first gear and then you have to just dump the clutch, okay here, revving, that's how easy it is, yeah that is how easy it is to drift this car because it does it in first gear, it loses traction very fast, opens the rear wheel and spins like that, it's very fast in terms of doing donuts, yeah it's not a drift machine, it's more of a donut machine because it is just circling around quite fast, you can't sustain the drift because it's just not having the amount of power to sustain it, oh god, brakes are so bad, anyways here we are into first, oh my god, the bump, I could feel it all across my ****, into first gear, revving the motor, absolutely spins like that because of this, rear wheel drive and then the moment for doing the drifts and the donuts but this guy is super loud and super crazy, well my ears are spinning, my head is moving because of the sound and it's a very loud sound, not very pleasing but it's extremely loud, this generation of the Fiat is very close to my heart because I remember I had one in the family, the 2007, oh my god, that bump is so bad, okay here we go, let's initiate the drift, first generation Swift because the diesel, as soon as the intake and all those things, making it really fast, that Swift diesel had more punch than, this generation of the Swift was a rattle machine but I can't hear the rattles, it's so bad, it's so bad, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my,
