Hey buddies. I'm Balu (Balakrishnan) born in God's own cultural capital Thrissur, tutored in Coimbatore and earning a life a s/w engineer in Chennai.

I started driving at 14 (yes I was underaged, blame my family they are a bit car crazed, so am I) on a 72 model Ambassador (which later got a heart transplant to 2001D Isuzu). My god she is a beauty.

The so-called seriousness studies distances my from the lovely beauties in my garage. After i got a job the first thing I did was to get myself a Swift VDI. The long hours spent playing NFS has got into my mind and I wanted to mod my ride. After spending nearly 50k on beautification, lightification and soundification. I'm now getting under the hood. My first task is to get a Pete's chip. ( Should complete that by this week) then a set of Intake and exhaust systems.

I shall post more on my adventures. In the mean time please give me pointers on what I can so with intake(CAI) and exhaust(FFE). Any suggestions on brand, prices and people(to get it done in chennai) would be appreciated.

Happy Driving!

PS: Oh I'm totally a car person but I totally enjoy riding my Uncle's 74 model Enfield.

Welcome bro! Make yourself at home

..and do keep us posted about the progress with your ride.

Welcome aboard, Balu. Do you still have the Amby? If so, I bet you will have a lot to talk with Rudra. Plenty of modded Swift D's on the board...just search around to find some tips and recommendations.

Do take a quick pitstop in our board rules section to get familiar with our forum policies too.

Thanks Amien and GTO.

@GTO - Yup the Amby is still with me(had a hard time convincing dad not to give her up). She gets to go out only when I go home. Just sits there in my garage, well polished.
