Some suggestions:

1. Those mudflaps! Pl consider the regular moulded type
2. Some nice tints
3. Some nice fat tyres

@Mag - thanks. regarding the mud flaps, I put them since I did not have the money to buy fatter tires and thought that they should hide those skinny ones

. About the tints, I am not sure as I hate tints partcularly the dark ones.

Suggest you upgrade the tyres first, since you travel on the highways a lot.

You and your car... a unique combo you two are!

Doing the speeds that you do (I saw your speed on our last Shantiniketan drive) with those tires take one to be either extremely ignorant or a real braveheart.

But your car sure is a hoot to see when it races down the extreme lane of the golden quadrilateral, in all its black glitter, beers down on you and then overtakes and vanishes in the horizon! You did that once when shuvd was driving his Silver Arrow (for those not in the know thats another baleno) at around 130kmph. You are crazy mannn...

have been thinking about it for quite a long time, but every time I manage save up some money my wife and I go off to some place for a vacation. seems that I need to show some restraint and seriously giveit a thought. Moreover Rudra Da has said that he will not sit in my car unless I upgrade my tires

So you have driving your Baleno on Stock so far and you were talking of speeds of 165-175kmph speeds

. Tai to boli Kol-tbhpians tomake pagol keno bole...
I had the impression that you had some nice 195 Yokos running in it and then you shifted to FFE and you didnt care to mention about your tyres in LTO because you thought it is default.

Better late than never, Taratari tyre change koro !!

planet_rocker · 27th November 2007, 10:50

resize the pics (Crop + Resize) to 800x600 and upload them either at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket or ImageShack® - Hosting (well imageshack acts weird most of the time) and upload them back in the forum.

engine bay & headers ka pics:

some more pics -

headers and free flow from Elektra

Orissa

Vizag

finally this is the road in Rinchenpong (Sikkim) that I had mentioned where even this Sumo was struggling. a baleno can tackle quite steep inclines

Great review, BlackPearl.. right out of your heart.

I can't believe that you are so caring to spend 70% of your salary on car!!!
