Mileage Update:

83rd Refill: 236.1 kms - 17.19 liters - 13.73 KMPL (MID 14.0 kmpl) - Average Speed 20 kmph - Rs. 57.03/- per litre from BPCL - Rajarajeshwarinagar

I have got the footwell lights installed on the car. Will take pictures and post soon, hopefully tonight.

Here we go with the picture taken from mobile of the foot well lights. Will shoot a few from a camera and post a little later.

How do they work? Turn on when door is open or a switch turns them on?

This is triggered by the door switch. Whenever you open the door or unlock a locked car this goes on.

The best part is no wire cutting, still works with the door sensors. Thanks to Satya from Evo. clap:

What I did today for a change pleased my better half. I got her a Fiat 500 and unveiling it here.

Please welcome the Fiat 500.







The Fiat 500 in brighter light.











Got a key chain for it too :D



Cost of Fiat 500 - Rs. 2,256/-

Key Chain - Rs. 173/-

After all its the Fiat 500 wireless mouse. stupid:

Really nice merchandise to purchase, Krishna :thumbs up. The 500 wireless mouse is a really nice touch, honestly this is the first time I've seen a car model being used as a mouse. Really tempted to get hold of one of these purely from a collector's perspective.

I had some questions for you:

- Do the headlights and taillights come on when the mouse is connected to the computer or is there some kind of switch for this??

- How usable is the car model as a mouse?? From pictures it looks quite bulky to hold in the hand. Is it a 1:24 scale model size or something else?? :confused:

- Could you post some pictures of the bottom of the car model?? Is the base flat for movement along the desk?? Just curious because if it moves on the wheels, sideways dragging of the mouse would be somewhat difficult.

Super! I initially thought it was scale model. Good that you don't have it, but your better half does.

Else you would be thinking cars while you click your way at work.

PS : As if you wont think cars. without the 500 :)

Super buy Krishna. You have managed to have your wife also work with cars on a regular basis just like you do. Any plans to take it to 3M for some PPF work?

A few updates after some gap.

Starting off with the odo milestone update.



Mileage update:

84th Refill: 477.7 kms - 31.94 liters - 14.96 KMPL (MID 15.2 kmpl) - Average Speed 20 kmph - Rs. 57.08/- per litre from IOCL - Woodlands

85th Refill: 243.9 kms - 16.82 liters - 14.50 KMPL (MID 14.9 kmpl) - Average Speed 18 kmph - Rs. 57.08/- per litre from IOCL - Woodlands

A couple of updates to the car Interiors. Gear boot and handbrake lever now have leather from Karlsson. Costed 1000 bucks.

Old gear boot



New gear boot



Old Handbrake



New Handbrake



A Puncture to boot on the Hankook tyres.



Puncture fixed.



Wheel Balancing and Alignment done at Madhus Langford Road.



Road Force balancing done too.



Got the new fancy antenna, a short stubby one for the Linea. Cost 1100 bucks.

That puncture looks just on the boundary of the sidewall. Have that tire at the back always.

And why is the road force report still showing pull towards left?

The before and after readings are self explanatory. However, I had to swap the tyres from left to right to make it less than 10 NM pull. Did not have time to remove the tyre from the rim and reverse it. Have left it for one of the weekdays to have this done.

A few pics and a video from the dashboard from the fun we had after the Teambhp meet.
