Well, I bought a pair of Swift OEM 165/80R14 tyres second hand to try them on the City. I did about 60 kms with them on the front. There was a little improvement on the ride. But then I had to use those tryes in the Marina which had to go on a long drive (and needed a tyre change in the front) and it has remained there.

Those high profile tryes do soften up the ride even in the Marina.
That's interesting docs

OMG , you just scared me. Now I am worried.

Default Control Setup for ipod

Nothing much to update on the car. It was parked for last 2 months and drove approximately 300 KM in last week.

After 2 month of parking, I am feeling a strange problem that the PS gets hard some time. Specially sometimes during pickup from idle. I am sure its not an illusion as steering gets really hard.

I will drive it for some more time and will report it in 5K service.

Just did an ipod setup, here is one pic:

It sounds very good and 100% cd quality if not better. I have all type of music in ipod, from rock, jazz, hiphop, kishore da, ghazals etc and all play superb.

I bought a very high quality AUX cable and control from tokyo.

here are the details of the controls

Thanks, no plan for side skirts as reduces the GC and need GC during my trips. I am not sure about spoiler, it might hamper the rear view further, specially the bigger one.

the small one at MGA is not very impressive.

Hi bharat:
Nice ipod setup. Do you have an AMP in your car? This setup bypasses the stock player?
