New Footwear & other Updates done on my car. EDIT- 5th Set of New Tyres Fitted!

iraghava · 28th June 2007, 02:20

So, finally when I went to pick her up on Monday here's how she looked all polished & ready!

We did encounter a problem with the rear shocks on Monday since the shocks fitted were too long & were touching the rear mounting plate & creating a sound. Initially when it could not be accurately traced where the sounds was coming from, this mechanic (already in the boot in the pic) got into the boot and closed it shut and asked me to drive him around so that he could find out where the sound was coming from!

P.S. Too many pictures I know! Costs, full list of work done etc, coming up tomorrow!

That is one sweet looking OHC Iraghava. You dint do anything about the alloys? they still seem to have that matt unfinished look.

The car looks like new.

Hey Ishaan,

Did you figure out the problem and if yes what was the solution. I think I have exactly the same problem in my car. Just not found time to sit and identify where the sound in the rear is coming from. Its mostly the mounting kit or like you said maybe the shocks are slightly longer. Problem is the shocks that were in the car earlier were not OE so I do not have ref to check lengths.

Pl do let me know.

Thanks Vid! About the wheels, well not much can be done apart from repaiting them again & I didn't wanna do it right now. I wanted to put on a set of 15" Enkei's that I was getting on a good deal (Thanks again C3PO) but after such an extensive overhaul my budget didn't allow that.

After I run out the current PP's, if I have the budget I'll get a nice set of Enkei or OZ's for her. I don't want to fit the usual alloys available in the market on her.

Viper - The problem was with the extra length of the shocks so on compression they were fouling with the Mounting plate. It was solved by getting OE Munjal Showa shocks & fitting them. No such problem after that.

@ LBM/Hydrashok/CD/Manik - Thanks guys!

Great work Ishan. Your workshop guys are highly skilled I must say. The car looks showroom condition as everyone says. I like the shine on Dhanno, what polish has been used? She is shining better than what she was here .

BUSA · 28th June 2007, 12:49

iRags - Your car looks absolutely new, kudos to you for going ahead with not so easy a job on the wallet as well as time. But it was all worth the effort.

P.S Why arent your tyres shining?
