3: 1.5 EXI with stock tyres. Car was floating on express way to Pune. As all we know Ajmat’s baby runs on 185 wide shoes, the difference was pretty evident. [
4: Engine becomes noisy at higher rpm (probably a little more than what I’m use to). Frequent shifting is necessary for enthusiastic driving.Engine noise and rapid shifting may cause fatigue in long drive. Rear suspension is too soft for a car of this nature.
5:This car has strut brace but I couldn’t make out the difference because I haven’t driven it before fixing that.
6: Ajmat, a great piece of machine you have. Thanks a lot for giving me a chance to experience it. I.

1: Correction - I said "Your chariot awaits" followed by a quick demo on the inner ring road
2: Not a problem sir!, my problem is that I have not been a passenger in my car at that speed and was a bit nervous about the trucks, not you
3: This was discussed with Psycho and the old man on Weds - One school of thought says, a stock Vtec is more fun - reality, it is more noise and dramatics - bit like those naughty movies - in reality - sustained fun is through slow but steady understanding and respect of the machine together with smooth and adventorous persuasion in mutual probing of limits
4: Agreed - it says what it is on the tin !!!! City - would love a w124 for long journeys
5: Should have brought a spanner along for you to check out the difference - takes 10 min to fit
6: anytime my friend ! - at the end of the heavy breathing, you looked pumped out and satisfied or was it that mutton omelette
