BTW at what odo reading did you change your tyres ripper?

Cheers to nikki and ripper for new shoes

Man! This has to be the worlds only 200Bhp swift. 86 odd bhp comes from the engine, and the rest is from the driver!!

The car was bloody fast previously, but now with the neovas, its even more!! And it handles like its on rails too. The trip to nadukani last weekend proved it. Even at 160+, the car was rock steady, and turns were easily handled at similar speeds too!!

Also, this has to be one of the best maintained cars around. She doesn't look anything over 20K kms! Hats off for maintaining her so well!

The first pic is taken on the way to kulamavu! And the rest at nadukani

ripper, what alloys are those?

JayD · 16th June 2009, 10:39

Those are corolla alloys, painted matte black!

srijit · 16th June 2009, 13:41

^^ Thought so.

Ripper, PM sent your way.

Welcome to Kerala! Would love to do that DRIVE together anytime!

Thanks man. Now the problem is I'm confused.
I'm not gonna change the alloy it will be 14"
195/65/14 works for me.

Neova or S-Drive ??

Anyway tyres should do another 5k.

Where did you guys get it from ?

Well.. 14" Neova costs around 4.6k per tyre. Yes.. the differance in the cost is HUGE!

Point taken, will do it once I save enough for an RD ECU

See this http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/access...ml#post1349087

Ain't it cool, on the fly power change

Free-flow'd, DDiS ? Please explain.

Rippers wheels look killer, the matte black does add a little understatement but all those will be flying in the air when the car starts moving.

@ Nikkibike ,Need a ride in your car on rails.heard great storys about Sunday's drive.

muneemmk · 17th June 2009, 11:49

We can always watch people going on roller coasters or Parachuting or bungee jumping ,but it would be an experience only if we do it for ourselves, but I am am looking for a diaper big enough to fit me before i get into the co-pilot seat with you

I really want to and will try to do that man.

The whole being in chennai - come home every 2-3 months for 2-3days (usually to attend some function) - get back to chennai (so that job will still be here) limits the possibilities.

When is the next Monsoon Drive ?

Or maybe you guys can drive down here and we can have a trackday @MMSC

(No rain here fulluuu heat)

and call it Summer Drive.

Oh..! almost forgot no LPG cars allowed on track

EDIT:-
Question : Is there a t-bhp meet thread for cochin ? A quick search did't turn up any.

dude.. therez short meets happening everyday.. we are not able to update every meets here.. do give a PM or call us to join the meet anyday. Get in touch with A S H V I N, JayD, me, hydrashok, speedzak.. anyone!

Car covered 80k kms and got it serviced from the same MSM from where I got all the services done. No major issues. Total service cost is Rs.3,650/- which is self explanatory. Car rides well and is in top notch status.

Have a plan for stage 1 or 2 clutch for the car. Looking for approx cost, brand and model. Any leads?

Neova-s works really well.
Steering feels heavy now.
FE is a tad low than before but loss is negligible.
Car is rock steady even at speeds above 150km/hr.
Braking is stupendous. ABS works more efficiently.
Ride quality is bit more harsh than S-Drives.
In my point of view, and the extent to which I push the car, Neovas are not overkill for Swifts. This is not interms of top speed, it works adequately well for me on the corners and winding roads.
Oh boy..Am loving it!
