My Modified Premier Padmini & Swift Mods Queries

[vikid]

hi guys..

this is my first post in the forum and i am impressed to see some mods being done on the swift.. i own a swift in india and wanted to install air intake and the catback.. would appreciate if some tips are given as to what should be done on the car..
this car is the zxi and i bought it in 2006dec... and has done only 3000kms till date ..
also i own a fiat padmani 1990.. my first modified car.. attached are some pics..

see you more..

Hi Vikid, that is a nice Padmini you have here. Are the wheels of different colours on each side? The exhaust looks pretty menacing. What mods do you have in there?

And why don't you post an intro?

OT:

@ vikid - lovely car - any mods under the hood?

@ PDG - if you see carefully - the tailpipe looks stock till the after-market exhaust tip. but it surely looks "ok" (the tip actually looks out of place)

the post should have been mabe in this thread: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...0-awesome.html (Modded Padminis (Fiat 1100) -- Awesome..)

You really think so? I only found the bumpers out of place. Quite liked the look of the tail pipe. But you are right, it is an add on tip.

However, I really think these few posts belong in a new thread.

PR: i dont have these pics here; but will post them in AUG when visiting india.. i was under the impression that there are hardly any fiat lovers ?? since i met you guys.. it opens the fiat mods project again for me..

Great to hear that Vikid, and do keep posting about the further mods. You will find Fiat lovers in hordes here. Just delve and you will come across a lot of info on modded Fiats. There are some purists as well.

What was the rationale behind using the electronic distributor from the contessa. Is the intitial timing, the part-throttle and the WOT timing in sync with the best values.
Whats the dwell angle?

I am not criticising, but trying to understand. This might be a pointer to many of us.

nice car and well maintained one, you need to do something about that front and rear skirts though
