Toyota Innova D4D - 55000 KM - Report - ICED, PETED, RUGGED

taranonline · 9th April 2009, 02:25

Update.... Instead of the ICE, I went for rubber upgrade. Spent around 50K.

20K goes for the alloys and 30K for the new rubber.

Pics below.

Well I went for 17" alloys 7.5 JJ along with 225/50/r17 wheels. There are goodyear Excellence. Earlier I had 15".

What I can say after hitting chandigarh roads for a few hours, cornering is near to a sedan. I would say premium brand effect. Feels like you are driving a Merc or BMW. Handling is simply superb. Cant go wrong with these 17". Recommended for any Innova owner.

One thing I can say, people keep looking at the wheels when I drive the car. Feels good.

The car handles better than ford ikon atleast. I can take turns at 130. Body roll is negligible.

Car has run 45000 km. Going on for the service. Will update after that. I changed oil at 35000 so 40000 service had no oil change so engine will be lot smoother after service. Lets see.

I always remove the petes things from car before service.

nice

but please take care of the caps on the alloy which is held by allen key bolts
they were recently flicked from my friends Accent in chandigarh,made him poorer by 3.2K@ 800 bucks per piece

and every 2nd or 3rd car in chandigarh and its satellite town is riding on these alloys these days

and my friend had got same in 16" size for his cars and caps got flicked in sector 26 i guess
i was surprised that thieves take the pain of carrying allen key and guts to remove them in broad daylight

btw from where did you get Pete's and green cotton?

From a dealer in ludhiana. Left my email at petes site and they forwarded the details of the distributor. He on my word, ordered and got me delivered with 3-4 days.

taranonline · 23rd May 2009, 16:34

taranonline · 15th August 2009, 23:45
