Any Ignis Sport Drivers?
-
Hi
Just wondering if there's any fellow Ignis Sport drivers here?
Looking to exchange info like parts, workshops, maintenance on the car...
Esp. workshops that's familiar with the engine and does good work with it
Thanks! -
a future one i may be! i love this tiny mean machine
-
Me too!!! Simply top the value for money, fun for money scale...

Hi free4ever and TheaterOfDreams
Yep, it's loads of fun to drive, great at corners.
And well, for a sub-70K car, it's really decent.
No regrets gettin it.
Guess there's enough pros about the car out there.
So i'll share some of what i feel are the minuses, at least on my car,
1) Built quality isn't really top notch, there are minor rattles here and there. Esp when closing the doors.
2) Tranmission really noisy. And the clutch quite clunky too.
3) Not really suited for high speed cruisin. The rpm's 3800 at approx 120 kmh, though this may be a trade-off for the close ratio gears (?). And the engine's noisy at this rpm.
So, if you guys are gettin it eventually, so check the cons with the test cars.
Hope you guys get it, then i'll know at least 2 other owners to exchange all kinds info / lobang with on the car.
Cheers! -

Well, red and white go really well with the stock white rims,
but too bad white's not available here as standard
Black's good too, coz the colour-coded plastic pieces that looks out of place in the front grill is hidden. PLus all the door / bonnet / trunk lines are hidden.
If i'm going to repaint my car, I may go for championship white with the grill remaining black.. -
can i suggest... black grill with red trim?Originally posted by Joe_Legal:------------

Uh huhOriginally posted by HENG@:can i suggest... black grill with red trim?
Definitely considering mixing in red trim slowly at time goes by....
starting with painting both Suzuki logos and the rear badges red.....
Only thing stoppin me now is the STUPID yellow netting and wordings on the stock seat... AAGGRRGH!
I prefer my car max 2 colours visible. If black - red - yellow, feel a bit cartoon..
And damn! If the stock seats are gonna come with the obiang netting, at least make it red lah... The friggin netting too coarse and the double layer make it look dated and cheapo... Damn irritating... -
I'm an IS driver as well and I'm loving the car now (thought the ride can be very, very harsh) and was wondering whether any workshops bring in parts shown in this website

Cool sia, some of the things
P.S. blue goes well with the white rims -

Yes, stuff from Suzuki Sport's really interesting, esp the Type Ti-R exhaust. If the stuff aren't so expensive, lots would have been installed by now.
Well, Have not come across any workshops that carry them, but you can get these things direct from Suzuki Sport. Just email your enquires to [email protected] . They entertain piece-by-piece purchase from individual drivers.
There're also parts from Cusco and Monster... I'm getting the filter and maybe the tower strut + brake pump brace.... Interested?
BTW, may I ask if you've been servicing with Champion Motors all the way? Or do you go to your own workshop? I'm lookin for a workshop that's familiar with the M15A...
Cheers -
Ha Ha!Originally posted by HENG@:rip the netting off!
Have considered that, sekali the whole head rest cover come off, then siao liao
Tried to ask agent if I can change the headrest with an Ignis though material different, but they tell me go fly kite
See how lah, maybe later try to figure a way to dye the damned netting without leaving a XXX pattern on the back of my passengers' heads
Cheers -
YeahOriginally posted by so_nice:parallel import of these items perhaps? One can get these parts direct from Suzuki Sport.
but first one gotta be willing to void the warranty of the system related to the aftermarket part. -
Yeah think i'll be pretty interested to change the filter.....not sure if i can afford it at the moment though Just PM me if you're serious about it
I've only been for servicing once so far but am intending to look around for a workshop as soon as i finish my third. Keep me informed if you find any good workshops -
change whole seat to sparco or recaro seats!Originally posted by Joe_Legal:Ha Ha!

problem solved. -
actually i was think if the rear seats can be changed with leather seats or fitted with leather seat covers. but the 2 recaro seats remains though..is it going to look werid with this combination? any views?

Great!Originally posted by edinayc:Yeah think i'll be pretty interested to change the filter.....not sure if i can afford it at the moment though Just PM me if you're serious about it
I've only been for servicing once so far but am intending to look around for a workshop as soon as i finish my third. Keep me informed if you find any good workshops If you're interested in getting Monster's SA13 that's also listed on the Suzuki Sports site, let me know. I'll PM you details on price plus othe details on the filter. There's also an optional cleaning kit. There's volume discount, but i doubt i can generate enough orders to get that
If only SSport's open pod isn't so expensive, sigh
So you're not done with your 3rd servcing yet huh? Me too, my 3rd's coming up.
come across yeah?
Cheers! -
WoahOriginally posted by HENG@:change whole seat to sparco or recaro seats!
problem solved. Wish if I have the moolah
Will change to REAL recaro seats haha -
Well, I've yet to see cars with just the rear seats in leather... if you're gonna re-upholster the rear, Might as well save up more and do the front as well? Getting it all uniform will also be more in tune with the classier feel that comes with leather.. but that's just IMHOOriginally posted by so_nice:actually i was think if the rear seats can be changed with leather seats or fitted with leather seat covers. but the 2 recaro seats remains though..is it going to look werid with this combination? any views?

hmmmm the netting really cannot remove?Originally posted by Joe_Legal:Woah Wish if I have the moolah

any IS drivers asked for the decals to be applied on their cars?
i was wondering how the stickers look like, salesman didnt have a good pic of the decals...only a very vague one, was wondering shld i ask for decals or not juz in case it looks ugly.
btw im tryin to decide whether red or black on an ignis is nicer? -
I will pick a RED one with the white rims! Black looks a bit small... but of course some may like the coordinated-looks across the black exterior and interior... Just put the decal on, it make the car look more rally-style and it does the works well of course...Originally posted by L@gSoN:any IS drivers asked for the decals to be applied on their cars?

You can ask and negotiate as a freebie before putting your down.Originally posted by L@gSoN:any IS drivers asked for the decals to be applied on their cars?

For my case, I asked if I don't apply, can give me to keep? they say cannot
The decals they give is prob the blue-red one you see in
http://www.suzuki-accessory.jp/swift/customize/99036_ss2.html
The bonnet one is prob in blue also.
I've seen some with totally white decals, so the colours may vary.
As for colours, IMO, white rims don't go with black, white rims go with red best.
For black, if polish until kilat kilat, looks more impressive and awesome than other colours. Plus the door / trunk / bonnet line and the plastic pieces inside the grill also hidden; more obvious in other colours...
But dirt shows easy on black...
Good Luck, hope to have another fellow IS driver soon
