Well is just 1.5 years, you don't need that.
I suggested you try improve the suspension and spring. Brake pads require to change for safety after you've improve the suspension and spring. ECU tuning and finally the exhaust system.
Try some X1-R products, can improve acceleration by slightly few seconds.

Great input, guys.
I'm fine with the current stock ride and handling. And I must say those stock Potenza RE080 really grip like no tomorrow on the Swift, and they are decently quiet too. No complains here. Heck, in fact I think pound-for-pound, the RE080 grips much better than the CSC2s on my other car.
The only weak link of the Swift 1.5A is really the performance, and not so much the power but the torque, or the spread of available torque thru the rev range.

Speedworks...hmmm.. they have a lot of claims over the years on the performance improvement of cars they tune. Even show dyno graphs for each mod that u add to your car.
Looks good but whether it's really telling the whole story is another matter. Anyone gone the Speedworks way? Is their tuning really good?

Speedworks and Power Zone are car mods specialist....i will choose them if opting for cylinder ports and polish or engine blue printing.... for other 'light' mods can do somewhere else

These two do more marketing than anything else, for the best work for PnP might as well go see Bapak Setan who actually does machine shop work for proton MME at one time. The Honda Civic VTEC that was humbled by a simple 1.8L Putra was created there. He has a modest shop in near the Coke / Ikea area and works only at night...
The following are my current and my future rides:
2012: VW Sicrocco 2.0T (its a moving target...)
2010: Proton Saga SE 1.3
2009: Suzuki Swift 1.5
2005: Chevrolet Optra 1.8Lt

Don't use X1R, it's not going to make the engine any better. For performance better off using lower visco oil like Amsoil, Castrol German formulation, Redline or Royal Purple with w30 or w20 grade. All they hype and advertising x guna one. I have had a decent supply of good branded engine oil courtesy of Frankie of Myoilstore.com Been using it for the last three years, have cnaged multiple brands in the beginning but I find my car is suited with Amsoil 0w20. Since the oil is cheap my change interval is 8000-9000km rather than 25,000 miles/40,000km as per recomended.

agree with on X1R, better buy good quality oil... how bout brands like torco and bardahl synthetic?

Darreltian,
Always go for the lowest visocity with the xxW30 or lower. The first digit before W denotes winter operating temperature. Motul, Torc and Bardhal are all good branded all, so too are ENEOS, what is important is the visco, oil stability at high tempreture. You can get a Used Oil Analysis, UOA from Frankie as well, to see and compare how long can each oil last before it is totally worn out.
