You are now going to be bombarded by a bunch of Contessa owners (who have had a tough time finding those steel bumpers) for cutting and welding them. ![]() The adaptation has been well executed. If you had access to 2 rear bumpers of contessa you could have had a complete long bumper for the front too. | |

| ![]() Ilangop, The Contessa bumpers were Black and mangled when I found them at the local scrap market. Now that you said it, I am glad that I did not do the same to a good chrome set ![]() |

| ![]() Thanks for the complement. The wheels are 7x13 with 185/60r13 Yokohama tyres. The car is lowered on Custom Springs which are about 1 and a 1/2 coils shorter than standard. The interior is fully standard. I will post pictures of the interior when the carpets are done. |

What's the bhp rating with the Weber & Cams? I am sure the performance would be much better then a stock engine. | |

How can I forget your "Diwali Effect" mod on the 118 NE meter? ![]() ![]() http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ml#post2104791 |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi, For those who dont want to get rid of the thermostat but not being able to find a new one, here is an alternative. I took an old, non-functional thermostat from a 118NE to a couple of car & truck spare parts shop. As a result of this hunt I found the one that could do the job. The thermostats of a Cummins or Tata Truck shares the same size of housing, but opens at 82 degress while the Nissan thermostats is marked for 87.8. I thought 82 degrees would be a better option that to run without one, as my driving distance to office is hardly 2.5 kms now and the engine doesn't get the time to warm up. Bought the thermostat for Rs 360/-. -Ilango |

Standard : 12.7 kg/cm2 (180.3400 psi) Minimum : 10.0 kg/cm2 (142.0000 psi)Since the normal idling is set at 700 +/- 30 rpm, I think the above values were measured at 350 rpm using a dynamo-meter in the factory. Regards and Keep Revving, ![]() Rahul Waghmare. | |
