I had a humble ZXi till a few days ago.... The story goes on...
Once upon a time not very long back a Humble Red Swift ZXi was delivered to me from Delhi. Why Delhi...coz there was a waiting period for Swifts in Mumbai...for over 2 months..thats why!!
The car did its duty well with Wifey driving it around (it was her choice of colour) until she decided that her Auto Santro was a lighter and being auto, an easier car to drive.
The poor thing was then adopted by my Nephew who grilled it at Pune for a good six months till he got his Skoda (constant drives to and fro Poona via the expressway...etc etc)
Again she was abandoned only to be used by me time and again (i love the car)
till Viper and me met fro a casual drink and I decided to zap it up. Complete Q car looks with the real stuff under the hood.
We decided on a list of things to be done and after that the cars Flying. (Sorry owners of other modded swifts, i have myself driven a few but was not very happy) but you just have to check this one out.
Got the car delivered to me today and was amused when all she was doing when I floored her (in the second gear too) was spinning the wheels and attracting a lot of attention. This had to change. The Power was going to waste in spinning and screaming so..... You guessed it right...Yes needed new shoes....Viper and me left instantly from the workshop to the tyre shop and plonked in Yokohama S Drives 205/55/R15s...but on 14" rims? So I Gupchaoed

the Rims from Vipers Vtec, which I had been eyeing from the day Viper wanted to change the rims on his Vtec ...remember the all Matt Black Hijoins? Well they are on my swift now..Thanks Viper for letting me Flick them from you..
(I always wanted Matt black Rims but they are difficult to find. I got the Bonnet painted Matt black but the painter goofed and polished it for me. I will be sending it to him to Matt it this time...properly.)

One test drive and handling has a new definition. New wider shoes make all the difference in handling.

My car with OE wheels and Tyres. The black bonnet is not yet Matt Black...It will be in a week though....

These are the Rims and the new shoes she proudly prods now.

I will post the mod details tomorrow. Meanwhile enjoy.
