Suzuki Swift 1300 GTi: The forgotten TwinCam screaming again - Davide Cironi

- The oriental alternative to the French and Italian hot hatches was the not-so-ugly duckling called the Swift GTi 1300. Few ones were saved from being plundered by off-roaders who swapped the handsome TwinCam engine for their off-road Samurais, including this one, owned by a lady with the help of a sled and plenty of foliage.

I love this show. Better than Netflix! Such a high quality production! Mille Grazie 🙏🏻
indeed is great
The only car that I bought from new. Great fun with an awesome engine for 1300cc. 0-60 mph in 7.5 seconds and only 1 gearchange! Group N class winner in UK racing. Not the greatest handling- understeer could be terminal but could blow away Fiesta XR2i's at traffic lights. I now have a Fiat Panda 100hp - a sort of spiritual successor. I am 64 years old......
@biyao kiti they still are weapons, version 2022😆
you still are young, stay young, best medicine to stay young, same here, cheers!
Amazing
such a 0-100 time could only be done by the gti mk1 was the lightest.
@@rumerssorc799 my mk3 still does 7.8 according to the datalogger
A fully prepped motor gives 160+cv@ 8000+ rpm on 40DCOE carbs. This series is brilliant, even having to read the sub titles
ciao Davide, ho 14 anni e sono un grandissimo appassionato di auto. Più guardo questi video e più mi sento motivato nel seguire la mia passione e farne un lavoro. Non posso che ringraziarti, spero un giorno di incontrarti. Grazie ancora
inizia con le auto radiocomandate
@@francescodicursi8775 sto cominciando con qualche ciao e si!

Insegui sempre le passioni
@@francescodicursi8775 come sei divertente ;) sei patetico ...
I wish you could get a Netflix show so that you carry on doing what you are doing! Keep it up we love these vids! ❤️
never.....just a youtubbo
Netflix is a shitty woke streaming service.
Noo Netflix noo!! Davide deve rimanere libero senza essere influenzato da nessuna dinamica di mercatoo alla Netflix!!
Is he not doing ok on CZcams then? .... and if he does not get a Netflix show is he going to stop doing CZcams?

Che SPETTACOLO !!!! tanto bella quanto sottovalutata la piccola swift .
Adesso è un gioiello e pure molto rara .
The Swift GTi was my first car i got at 19. I had so much fun with that car, brings back so much memories. I beat the living sh*t out of it every day and in two years it never once broke down and it was already 25 years old when i got it. I now have an e36 325i coupe but the Swift was even more fun that the bmw.
what the fuck are you saying ... the bmw is much better than the swift's scrap metal
@@francescodicursi8775 hell nah
Last year is sold mine, 27 years old, best car ever!
@@francescodicursi8775 No way the BMW is better than the Switch GTi. The GTi could keep up on track with a Clio Williams.
@@noidontthinksolol Haha no. Both were good cars.
L'aveva blu scuro un ragazzo della mia compagnia. Era bellissima e tenuta come un gioiello. Che bella macchina! A me toccò una Corsa GSI con cui mi divertii parecchio ma la Swift mi è rimasta come voglia. Adoravo sentirla urlare con il Supersprint! Che tempi e quante avventure. Tutti in piazza con le piccole bare dei primi anni 00!
Mi piace molto quel "orgogliosamente prodotto in Italia"... BRAVI TUTTI !
Oggi sono 40anni che ci ha lasciato il pilota più spettacolare che io abbia visto correre. GRAZIE GILLES
Pironi era molto più forte
@@suckerfreeman sulla capacità di gestione di un campionato probabilmente potrebbe anche essere così ma come capacità di guida e di superare i limiti non ci sono paragoni non a caso Enzo Ferrari lo paragonò a Nuvolari. Poi in formula uno spesso nella storia ci entrano non i più vincenti ma i più grandi e questo è uno di questi casi.
Schumacher per esempio ha vinto più di Senna ma credo che il brasiliano sia entrato nella leggenda a differenza del tedesco e lo stesso vale per Pironi e villeneuve
@@suckerfreeman pironi' più forte di chi?? Scherzi vero???
Swift was such a little weapon back in the day , great show .
Swift drive
da pelle d'oca ogni tuo video, grazie per quello che trasmetti!
Mi hai fatto un regalo enorme. Questa è stata la mia prima auto nel 1998! Stesso modello ma rossa
Είχα πάρει καινούργιο ένα ίδιο το 1996 ήμουν 19 χρόνων εδώ στην Ελλάδα τότε γινόταν χαμός με κόντρες τα βράδια σε διάφορους δρόμους ήταν ένας δυνατός παίχτης το Swift είχα κερδίσει αρκετούς αντιπάλους το είχα πειράξει με φτιάξιμο στο καπάκι, χταπόδι από μπρος μέχρι πίσω με αγωνιστικό καταλυτη και τότε πρόγραμμα της bbr είχε φτάσει γύρω στα 140 άλογα και πυροβολαγε αρκετά δυνατό, πολύ καλές αναμνήσεις μετά από αυτό είχα mazda mx-5 1.8, Rx-8,και τώρα ένα 911 carrera και για καθημερινό ένα ford fiesta 1000 ecoboost 146 άλογα
Video commovente, come sempre. Perle rare che ci riempono il cuore. Grazie per tutto quello che fai.
Wow, just stumbled on this channel, what an amazing channel. Puts a lot of English speaking Car CZcamsrs to shame. Absolutely excellent. Great to see a humble Suzuki Swift get this kind of attention. I would buy this car if I could. Well done 🙂
Wow ! another great video ! you keep our enthusiasm high ! Thank you Davide ! we are looking forward for the next video !
un modo perfetto per gustarsi il pranzo della domenica! con un bel video di Davide Cironi!
I video che producete sono semplicemente spettacolari! Viene raccontato tutto nel modo e con i tempi giusti. Bravi
loved the whole story of the loving hands restoration of this lovely little car! Great job guys!! Passion, patience, and perfection!!! Bravo!!
Davide,sei un grande,e sempre un onore vedere un tuo nuovo video,collabori davvero con delle belle officine e carrozzerie,gente veramente competente e insieme siete grandissimi,trasmetti sempre più la passione che hai e che ha la gente che collabora con te a tutti noi appassionati di motori,non vedo l'ora di vedere un altro tuo video con un auto recuperata, grande,continua cosi😊
Thanks for this. Such a great car and production from such a small team!
Been on a binge-watch craze over Davide's content after stumbling on him driving a Maserati Biturbo, this is all about what I look for: passion, craftsmanship, no non-sense or forced sponsored segments every 2 seconds, and of course, great cars. All with great production value which would put many TV-produced "car shows" to shame. Grazie mille Davide.
My parents once owned a Suzuki Swift 1.0 GL. I fell in love with the thing and always wanted a GTi, but they were really, really hard to get, so I gave up on that dream. Now I see this video and my heart starts pumping again. These cars are just superb!
Love the quality of these videos. Really enjoyable to watch.
Grazie e buona fortuna!
Wonderful to see it rescued from that hedge and brought back to track worthy condition. It's so adorable and the engine sounds badass. They were a rare sight here - people usually bought the regular model out of frugality.
Che spettacolo!!! Mi fai sognare! Grazie Davide. Davvero. Grazie
This series is something to wait for. I love it. Gongrats Davide. Keep at it.
Beautiful little suzuki. Worth every minute, and every penny. Little suzukis need more love like this!!
Great job!
It was pleasure to watch.
la mia bimba !!!! m'ha fatto divertire tanto durante gli anni 90 !!!! quanto mi manca !!!! Grazie Davide GRAZIE DI CUORE .... m'hai strappato la lacrima !!!!
I recently found a 1992 Suzuki Swift GT in the same exact condition. I'm currently bringing her back to life and it's such a fun car to drive! This was a great video you created and I'll be watching more from you! 👍
Un auto altamente sottovalutata, la possiede una un mio carissimo amico e mi è sempre piaciuta un sacco. Bravo ad averci fatto una puntata su di lei. Un lampeggio Davide...
Que auto tan hermoso, con mi hermano tenemos un Swift desde 1991, y es algo único en su clase. Te felicito por el trabajo y el Documental.
Hola Davide, excelente auto japones
Muy rápido, su nombre lo dice.
Tuve 5 suzuki swift gti, dos del 90' y los otros del 93'
Todos los disfruté al máximo y me hicieron sentir la adrenalina,
jamás un problema y ya están quedando pocos, para mi ya es un auto de colección.
Saludos desde Chile 👍👋
I really had them all. Started with an 1.0 3 cylinder (which I loved) after that a 1.3GS and than the GTI. They were dirt cheap in the early 2000s.
I had one of these 20 years ago - it was a screamer alright! Black with racing springs roll cage etc it had been built to do track days and was road registered here in New Zealand. One of my favourite cars I’ve owned. Davide, I now have a 2wd 1988 Ford RS Cosworth Mercury Grey just like yours! But right hand drive of course 330bhp - it is my baby! Thanks you for your videos man they are awesome! Kia kaha from New Zealand
Davide's videos make me want to improve my Italiano so I can understand his passion with no translation required.
Molte grazie per i fantastici video, di più, di più! 🤌
Sempre tante emozioni. Grazie
Much love from Seattle! Found your channel and love the content, this is a cool little ripper of a car!! Great work!
Sempre splendido, affascinate quello che fai! Sono un 51° appassionato di tutto ciò che ha un motore. Complimenti !
Bravo!
I am your neighbour from Slovenia but don't understand and speak italian yet i can see the passion you show for such cars.
Myself i drive 30-y-old CRX VTi and love every moment i spend in it cruising in summer time. Love high revving NA light cars.
Pure entertainment to watch and enjoy ! You guys are pros! Thanks !
Real cars, real love, real ambition to drive this is how you make good videos :) I love your show man keep it up.
Silvio's knowledge is INSAAANE! I tried to pause every sentence and it took me time to understand what is needed to be done in order to customize ECU.
Ben fatto!
I had one of the 8valve SOHC carburetor models of this car when I was young. The 8valve had no tachometer and no rev limiter so my excuse was to keep revving til it stopped sucking in air and then shift. 115km/h in 2nd gear I think was my record. Car went on to a friend to win Khanacross championships. You have brought back many fond memories
great to see this little giant killer getting the respect its earned. dominated in rally all over the world, endurance racing in japan and even a few class wins in group A touring car racing.
I wanted one of these really bad, when they were new and I was young and broke. Thanks for saving this one!
Complimenti a tutto lo staff per la passione e professionalità che ci mettete in questi progetti !!! Continuate così !!!!
Gran video, mi pace vedere le emozioni e i sentimenti che metti in ogni piccola cosa indipendente dal risultato finale 🙏🏼‼️⚡️
mamma mia che ricordi, l ho acquistata nuova nel 93, una bomba di macchina e che soddisfazioni mi sono tolto con chi non conosceva questa "macchinetta"! quasi 180 km orari con la terza marcia!! l ho tenuta 10 anni circa poi l ho venduta. UNICA
Awesome job, mate! ❤️
Mia prima machina... 17 anni fa... Sempre nell ❤
Grazie Davide per averla messa a posto!❤
Last year I sold mine, 27 years old, with pain in my hard.
@@Populiervogel i know that feeling 😭
Quanta competenza e professionalità. Complimenti
After I see this video I just realize this car was the old version of Swift, here in Indonesia it called Suzuki Amenity, the 2 door version was very rare and the engine wasn't as good like europe market until the real Swift enter the market in 2006. I don't understand Italian but with the subs really helping others who don't understand the language, the rebuild process was so exciting and make me keep watching until finished. Keep the good work!
Video stupendo davvero complimenti a tutto lo staff!
Davide, thank you very much! You just jacked up the value of the Swift gti.
Btw, I have an original 4wd Swift from 1991 and I swapped it with a gti engine.
Hey, fratello! Ciao from Malaise, Congratulations! What a wonderful transformation of legendary Suzuki Swift GTi. Im your new subscriber coz of my 1st machine & still keep it after 25 years. Well done!!
In Argentina this car was very popular. There was one around the block, we were with dad hanging in the corner, it went by and he said... "That car is fast as hell, look at how many valves the engine has, it could be on a 4x4". I never forgot, the engine was indeed fantastic and indestructible. Future classic, if you can buy one i'd suggest you to.
So true. My buddy had one not so long ago, it could keep up with an NSR150RR which was quick aswell.
Incredibilmente spettacolare! BRAVI
Grande Davide, bravissimo. Per fortuna non c'è più il pelato degli altri video!!
This video is such a quality product.
I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks ☺️
Che gioiellino! Tanta invidia, bel lavoro!
Amazing video as always davide..keep the good work.
Awesome lads! So much enthusiasm and passion there! Great to see!
Great production all around! Well done.
Incredibile, buon lavoro! Saluti di Canada!
カルタスGT-i懐かしい！！発掘していただき、ありがとうございます！
現在のスイフトスポーツのご先祖さまですね。
初代カルタス（輸出名スイフト）のGT-iも海外のどこかで生き残っていて欲しいですね。
Fantastica! Ho avuto la versione mille, blu melanzana e l'ho adorata!
Davide è un fenomeno e non serve la mia affermazione per capirlo. Ma quanto è fregno sentire la bella parlata abruzzese da parte di un orinundo. Sei un orgoglio per tutti noi!
Espectacular video.....los detalles son precisos al igual que la restauración...tengo un GTI del 96 también es blanco y no hayo el día de restaurarlo como el del vídeo, algún día lo podré hacer.... porque cómo estás máquinas ya no vuelven a salir....lo amo y no lo cambio ni lo vendo x nada...
it is just great! I've lost my hope already to find a car restoration video with this quality and technical details focused on driving experience, not the looks, quirks and features, you know ;)
enjoyed eery second of the video thank you so much for the great quality content!
paura che contenuti ragazzi, grande davide davvero al toppp
Grazie Davide per la foto all' automotoretrò di Torino, nonostante fossi preso da mille impegni😉👍🏻
Vero!!
Idem!
La mia Swift preferita in assoluto 😍
When I watch these videos I always think of the Suzuki Swift I had with no power steering. It was SO quick and handled the curves like they wanted it. The only thing I ever did to it was change the muffler Haha- thanks Davide!
Suzuki today in 2022 still construct this kind of cars and think remains one of the last ones constructing such little bombs - sound wise this one is top class, had the ZC32S it also reved up, now run the 1.4T stage3 + Torsen
Bravo,Bravo Bravo! Hello from Australia. Davide so far you have done ALL my favourite cars.Keep up the good work.Bravo
Che spettacolo i vostri restauri!
I used to own two of these Swift GTi's. A 1991 and a 1996. The 1991 sadly suffered badly with rust on the underside. The 1996 I sold and was written off. They're fantastic cars and were very underrated. Mine had a chipped ecu, Janspeed four branch manifold, Magnex full exhaust system, decatted.
I moved onto Hondas next with an EG9 Civic VTi and a DC2 Integra Type R.
The Swift GTi will always have a special place in my heart. A lot of people did not believe it was 'just a 1.3'. They thought it had a bigger engine in it.
Bellissima auto, mi sarebbe piaciuto averne una nel 1990. Ce n'era una nera sotto casa mia e mi faceva impazzire perché era diversa dalle altre. Avete fatto un gran bel lavoro.
Peccato per la quantità di pubblicità che CZcams ha inserito nel video. Sembrava di guardare la pubblicità interrotta dal video di Davide.
Ho avuto questa bestia dal 1993 fino al 1998, ce la giocavamo con l’Opel Corsa GSI 1600. Grande Davide!
Siempre me gustó ésta carrocería del Suzuki Swift. Recuerdo que cuando trabajé con un tío como ayudante de mecánico, un cliente nos llevó un Swift GTi para hacerle mantenimiento. Lo manejé y, siendo honesto, no me gustó por lo siguiente: el sistema de escape era demasiado ruidoso, por lo que era difícil tener una conversación con los pasajeros sin tener que gritar. El forro del timón o volante de dirección se estaba desintegrando al punto de verse el metal del aro en algunas partes. La suspensión era demasiado dura para andar en la calle, era incómoda, brincaba mucho, casi que no filtraba ninguna irregularidad del camino. Y era usado a diario. Bajarse del carro era un alivio. Pero éso era mi percepción de ése carro en particular. No tuve la oportunidad de manejar otro para comparar.
Acá en El Salvador fue un carro muy preparado para 1/4 de milla, circuito, etc. Le instalaban turbo, lo cual lo hacía un demonio para correr debido a su peso liviano.
Hoy en día es difícil encontrar uno en buen estado, a parte que ya hay escasez de repuestos.
Volviendo al Swift GTi del vídeo, me parece muy buen trabajo el que hicieron.
Me suscribí al canal cuando Davide hizo una reseña de mi carro favorito: "Alfa Romeo gtv6".
Saludos desde El Salvador!
Love it! You know, it would be good if you could go back and revisit some of these project cars, and make the improvements that you talk about when you drive them on the track. I just love your 500.
bellissimo contenuto come sempre dopotutto🔥🔥
Grazie mille Davide Better than a movie
You guys are wizards of automotive performance. Thank you for such a beautiful video
I loved this video soo much that I had to continue watching it even without understanding the language.
Been waiting to upload this one for a while :)
The Suzuki swift is one of my favorite cars, samurai comes in a close second. Great work on the car.
this is excellent! Great work guys.
For more power i heard some people used the baleno 1.5 engine block with the head of the 1.3.
Great team, great show. I was very emotional watching it, almost made me cry.
This episode is EPIC!
Sempre in gamba,bravo Davide
Amazing work!
Thanks for the English subtitles. Very cool show.
日本国内でも、このスウィフトはもう見る事がほぼ無いのに、よくここまで蘇らせましたね🤗🤗
左ハンドルという事は、当初から輸出モデルだったのでしょうが古い日本車が海外(特に欧州)で活躍する姿は観るだけで嬉しくなります👍️👍️🙏🙏
この型のスイフトは日本ではカルタスの二世代目モデルですね。
確かに日本でもほとんど見かける事はなく、ごく稀に廉価モデルの1000ccの5ドアを見かけるくらいになってしまいました。
輸出仕様は初代カルタスの頃からスイフト名義だったと記憶しています。
Congratulations for saving this little rocket and for this video ! Amazing experience! I loved it. This episode makes to do some things to the brakes of my Alfa Twin Spark :)))
Grazie Davide, troppo bella!
Very slick video and what a great little we had the four door Suzuki Cino thats what they called them in Australia it had a 1300cc with a carburetor and it was fun to drive real fun one of the best driving cars we have ever owned the GTI was a great car infact there was single make racing series and these Suzuki GTIs were used l never think l would see one restored on you tube and l have thanks very much
grande Silviuccio! saluti da Torino.
Grazie, saluti a te!
