Since this is a filter that uses oil, proper recharge from time to time is required to allow only minimal dust entering the engine. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...ir-intake.html Quote:

About the suspension life, please note that bigger springs are used in Indian cedia to increase the ground clearance and this is without changing suspension geometry. This leads to suspension arms wearing in about 50-70k kms. The overall life however depends on the kind of roads the car sees in its life and the how cautious one is while driving.

A very well respected gentle man told me these were made in Italy. I will confirm this the next time the car is on the ramp. Quote:
Did you check the rating on the Hellas? Hope they did not fit 90/100W bulbs. On an unrelated note - I had the Fuel pump on the cedia replaced under warranty. It took about 20mins for the whole process. After replacing the fuel pump my fuel gauge is much more accurate. My car has a digital fuel gauge. The fuel pump with the red label is old one, Last edited by Captain Slow : 27th May 2013 at 23:28. | |||

| re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Hi Captain! I also got the Fuel pump replaced for free in Feb. Have analog fuel gauge so just get tank full once the needle reaches the last graduation (not full empty, one above it). Never seen Digital Gauge! Does it show fuel in Liters ?? If so, on refueling does the Petrol bunk readout matches the change on your gauge?? On a side note, I have seen very few "Aussie Yellow" Cedia in Bangalore like mine, few times in Koramangala Block 1 and one once in HSR layout. Do you ride one of those ?? Mine one is with an AP 09 Registration and Black skirting under the fenders / OVRMs... Looks like I have yet not earned the PM facility. Got to wait! |

Senior - BHPian | re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Gaurav, I got the K&N stuff last year but never got around to installing it, It's still mint. I am not sure whether I would be installing it but not because of the reasons here. I have been running a Cosworth intake on my Swift and the difference in throttle response and pick up from the OE filter is like chalk & cheese. Who cares what's on paper or what Changu Mangu in some video are saying. The stuff is fun. Quote:

Hmm I don't know how else to put it so here goes Had gone to Opera house to search for Osram Night breakers for the Cedia. No dice, landed at a shop selling Philips, Hellas etc etc The guy insisted that the Crystal visions were as good and I said nothing doing. So the guy says OK you try for a couple of nights if you do not like them give them back. Chalo let's do it. So resident electrician opens up the bonnet and takes out the bulb and hands it to me then proceeds to get the other one. Meanwhile I am reading the words stamped on the collar Philips Made in Germany. He gets the box and though the entire bulb is not visible through the packaging the tip and whatever else I can make out are well similar. The box also says Made in Germany. I approach the counter and tell the guy that it seems my OE are the CV and he is dismissive at first but then on second look he is curious too. So our guy opens the brand new pack and we compare the bulbs, they are identical in size, shape, colour of the tip coating and whatever else is stamped on them. He says you want these? Obviously no, he says nothing just hands the package to one of the boys, the electrician puts my OE crystals back and makes 50 bucks out of thin air and I am typing this. That episode was the basis of my comment on the subject. Quote:
You know I think both of us might be correct. From the Momo above and more so from the digital gauge below it is clear that your Cedia is a late 2011 or 2012 model. It is possible that as a cost cutting measure the factory stopped using the crystal visions and switched to a more economical version. | |||

Senior - BHPian | re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Yes you are correct, the Cosworth kit comes with a corrugated plastic tubing up front that can be extended right down to the air dam and then folded back during the rainy season. The filter too sits right up front followed by a nice Cosworth Blue plumbing in to the engine air intake. Quote:
I was pretty much OK with the stock OZ 15" till I got my hands on the Turbo Jet Linea & that came with 16" OE alloys. Since then the itch to upsize the alloys has gotten stronger. Having experienced the Linea's ride with the 16" wheels and aftermarket 205/55R16 Bridgestone Turanza 90s rubber, I know that this size is going to be perfect. BTW the new alloys will be from OZ racing again You can pick up the K&N kit along with the alloys too Quote:
Any chance of shopping for these (the Tiens) in the UK, easier to verify and then ship in person. Quote:

Senior - BHPian | re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Hey S_U_N, I have managed to get my hands on a Morimoto kit that includes the following 2x: Morimoto Mini H1 Bi-xenon projectors - fully prepped and tweaked. 2x: Mini Gatling or Big Gatling Gun 2.0 Shrouds 2x: Solenoid input pigtails 2x: Clear lenses (pre-installed lens upgrade) 2x: H7 adapter plates & H7 rubber washers 2x: H4 adapter plates & H4 rubber washers 2x: Lock-rings Now I am in the process of getting the Osram HID Kit 4200 K H1 35W. This is complete with bulbs and ballast etc. My question to you is whether I will need anything else besides the stuff listed above. Secondly, how easy or difficult are the Cedia's headlamps to play with, is there anything in particular that I should look out for. Is there a thread showcasing your install(I know it was not DIY but the process is there), if yes then please provide a link to the same. |

My car has done 44600 KMs as of now and its just around 6000kms that I've driven since I bought it with all knowledge that it has a few hiccups here and there. As for the MAF sensor trouble, it seems ok to clean it once in a while with IPA (Iso Propyl Alcohol) and the car runs well. CRC MAF cleaner is on the way for me to further experiment with the old units (I have 3 in all now) I'm planning to install Racedynamic's product RD0901 as it seems to have analog inputs for temperature, pressure and air flow and hence it could bypass all MAF sensor digital inputs. As for the radiator which failed me, the short term fix failed and hence when I enquired with HM customer care, they said CEDIA's Radiator would cost Rs.33,000. I had then sourced a new one through some known spare parts shop in Madurai for Rs.14,500. The core was slightly bigger and then it took in 6.5 liters of coolant. But it was a perfect fit on the car. I've finished 500+kms after this work and the remperature guage shows a shade under the normal reading when the old radiator was working fine. Probably the bigger core and more coolant had its effect on the reading. Though its really getting expensive to maintain this car with my monthly salary, the love for this car makes my family to shell whatever it takes to keep her in top shape-after all, we feel that its one other member in our family | |

I wanted to get 16" last year when I got the new s drives, but then the tire cost itself was . The Bridgestone Touranza (ER60 or 300, don't remember) costed over 8k per piece for 205/55/16 compare to 205/55/15 s drives at Rs.6k. Quote:
For the alloys, I may come to India in august for a month, so I can swap those. Quote:
The support for EVO is good. In btw, if you want brembo brake pads, I may order them for myself. They are not carbon ceramic, but then I will get brembos for about £25 per set, so £50 (Rs.4k) for front and rear. Damn, the Evoques mintex pads are £60, front and rear, compared to OE pads for 35k plus taxes and labour in delhi . Even the OE here are £200 for front and rear. Quote:

Unfortunately the CEDIA is the only car at home as I had to sacrifice my earlier SWIFT D for this love at first sight when I spotted the CEDIA at the used car dealer's space. Mind you, I've never gone past 150KMPH in my CEDIA though I had touched 170KMPH so many times in my SWIFT. Hope I'd become some great tuner or DIY expert in another couple of years of owning CEDIA Do you have a standard parts list with you Gaurav. I would like to change the tail lamps to the white one and also change both the bumpers to the CEDIA SPORT type. Will it be too tough to fit the SPORT type bumpers on a CEDIA SPIRIT | |

For the bumpers, they are a straight fit. However, they wont be cheap even to import it from say Thailand. I'd rather spend that money on a K&N and FFE. | ||||

| re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Good to see this thread back to life. I think the list below is complete once you add the bulbs and the ballasts. Did you get this stuff from TRS - from US? or China stuff? There is no steps documented by me, but there are some posts on TBHP - the process remains the same. The opening up of the headlamp assy is the biggest problem. Also doing the levelling on a flat levelled surface with a wall at 25 feet is the other important point. Also remember to clean the projector lenses before the final sealing off of the headlamp assy. While I am not sure, but 55W ballasts are known to result in brighter lights and do not cost much more. The life of the bulbs will be reduced somewhat, but still long enough for most of us. Also, I am not sure if you do much driving in the rains, since the HIDs will tend to get washed off. Also, do this stuff before it starts raining. Quote:

Senior - BHPian | re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! Thank you S_U_N for all the pointers, appreciate it. The Morimotos and the Gatlings are from TRS (different from TRW or a misspell? dunno!) in the US, BNIB but third hand. A group that includes a friend's friend imported a whole lot of extras when they set out to do their HL mod and then sold the remaining stuff. One set landed up with the said friend and after a longish rest in his cupboard they are now mine Strange how things work. The Osrams are coming from a local dealer of Osram India. If it were not for the high cost of the Cedia's grill and the bumper+skirting combo I would have simply affixed a pair of Hella Micro DE driving lights and switched the halogen bulbs with Xenon H7s. Costs would have been similar and no need to tamper with the headlights at all. Of course Hella also offers Micro DE Xenon HID from the factory but they are priced at Rs. 29000 each. I thought that the 4200K colour would hold good in the rains and fogs. I have not come across the 3000K s anywhere otherwise would have used those. Will try and look for the 55W, I think I might have to switch to Philips for that. Quote:
Let's do the Brembos, Tien and whatever else you think is good for the car AND let's meet up when you are here in August. Quote:

| re: Its White, its Sports and its a Mitsubishi Cedia - 1.4L km up & new S-drives! I just noticed another issue after the PATHETIC 40K Service at Mitsubishi ASS. I see the SRS red indicator coming up within 1 minute of starting the engine !! DO you think its a connector problem or some Heavy expense to get the air bags replaced!! |

But I would love to see your car! Here is how the Digital Fuel fauge looks, I like the old console better. This one looks way out of place for a cedia. Quote:
I remember another cedia owner telling me that the RD0901 doesn't work well this his car. Check with RD before you decide. Can you post a picture of the Radiator? Yes the car is very expensive to maintain, a little preventive maintenance can go a long way. I know exactly how you feel, I keep my car the same way. She is the one Are you guys using full Sync oil on your cars? The original tail lights from mitsu are 9-10K each! The bumper will be another ridiculous 30K OEM tail lights are available for 8K a set. Not too sure about the bumpers. But its a direct fit! both the mounts and fitting is the same. | ||
