JDM Swift Sport ZC33S, another L O N G wait

[trails]

Purchased this at the beginning of July, now somewhere onboard the Neptune Barcelona en route to Southampton...due 2nd October.





It's a totally standard 2020 non-safety package car with 40k on clock, and will be SSS number three for my wife. Main reason for the import is she wanted another silver car, and it's not available in the UK in silver...the JDM cars are not afflicted by hybridisation that all EDM cars are from mid-2018 either. The non-safety package also means no lane assist or emergency braking function, which are also standard fit on EDM cars. We had a demo car from Suzuki for a long weekend and both found those functions horribly intrusive. The JDM car also has a heated drivers seat and retains the closer ratios of the ZC32S.

Current car...


...and the one that started it all.

They seem to have quite a following, and I'd much rather not have the nanny features either!

Roll on October.

They only weight 970kgs and will make 170ps/280Nm with just a map...so should be a fun little thing

An excellent choice, I have a UKDM version myself in blue. Those "aids" are a real pain in the backside though! Look forward to seeing what you do with the car.

I may already have got a set of H&R springs for a bargain 50 quid and am on the hunt for some 16s. Mrs Ts brief is bronze and not too fancy
