i just found out this car is a lxi. so no power nothing. abix should have got a vxi atleast, i think instead so spending so much on mods u could have got that too.

hey jesal, well to clarify i got this car second hand with only 500 kms at around 2.9L so it was brand new and a damn good deal! The difference between the lxi and the vxi is that the lxi's got power windows, left side view mirror, and RPM meter as the major things missin! Which when i got thru accessory markets came out cheaper had i have gone for a vxi! I just got the auto gauge RPM meter installed today, with minor tweakin yet to be done, will post pics up soon!

Cheers
Abix

Since abix has gone all out on the exterior/interior mods and engine work is soon to follow I think its justified in buying a basic car and then transforming it into a monster. This type of second hand deal is the perfect oppurtunity for mod crazy people!

arre now i get it then. thats wicked then, no issues i was just wondering. honestly u have to be the one with the best toy car in the country... if u dont mind after u got the car how much have u spent on total, cuz i have seen ur car since u put the first rims and this is the 3rd set so just thinking.

Abix · 8th March 2007, 16:39

Hey souljah, well the ignition switch can star the car without any key however, i need the key to open the steering lock, which is actually its only use now. Hope that clarifies the ignition part.

Jesal, buddy trust me, since ive bought the car the most expensive proposition has been the rims! Had i have found my current ones before, my total cost wudve been much lower, n possibly wudve got better goodies for the car! Stay tuned for turbo.... that shud be fun!

Cheers guys!

Arush Bhai....This has to be the meanest looking car from your workshop after that accord...
I love the way it has come..The colour makes it look dangerous.

SRK, duude ask Arush how ive saved up money to get the car lookin like this!! Savings is the key my friend and cuttin back on other things! I guess u gotta loose sum to win some!... wow im soo poetic

heavy_foot · 9th March 2007, 20:20

your car looks wicked.....how ever the chunky spoiler is really looking odd...how about putting the spoiler on a diet ...something like this

the above kind of spoiler in a glossy black would make it look more meaner

Cheers dude, thanks for the suggestion.. but im in love with my spoiler, i think you have to see it in person, u might change ur opinion!

desigNation · 10th March 2007, 17:13

i agree with heavy foot, but if pictures havent done justice to your spoiler, i am sorry about the comment.

dragger · 12th March 2007, 05:48

hey buddy nice ride...the spoiler does look out of place..but then again its everyone's own personal choice...the whole 2 door converion is a nice swift gt concept..besides all the cosmetic mods you mentioned your going to get a turbo setup...your running the india g13b block..was jsut curious abt the turbo your going to use..how much boost are you looking at...working on the internal's aswel to handle high boost...and the car redlines at 6,300 rpm so are you planning on going ahead with a standalone..and if so which one...?

payam · 12th March 2007, 09:07
