| Senior - BHPian | Now for the update, here is the list of parts being replaced/repaired on the car: Clutch Assembly Full Suspension revamp Both front Axles Front Brake Rotors A/C Service Routine Service Both bumpers respray Full Interior Drycleaning HU Service Redo of the ICE cabling This is the major part of the list rest I'll update later. Now I was supposed to get the car on Saturday evening but as luck would have it on Friday morning we discovered that the Pressure plate supplied for the car was different form the original. Evidently, it turns out that the 1.3/1.5 and the VTEC have a slightly different Pressure Plates where the 1.5's plate is flush whereas the VTEC's plate has some dips & ruts. It didn't hep that the kits are manufactured by multiple manufacturers including TRW, Valeo & Exedy. So after some hunting we finally got the correct part but that delayed us by half the day. As for the actually replacing the clutch it wsa not really needed at this point of time but since we were opening up so much of the car my installer recommended I get it done now since that way we can save on the labour charges and she had done 140k on the original clutch anyways. So after this episode my installer insisted that I take the car on Monday so that he can finish the work properly, TD her & be satisfied with the work. I agreed since it had already been a few days & a couple of days more wouldn't be so bad and considering the amount of work needed I think he needed the time to complete the car properly. Last thing I wanted to do was rush the garage & face a problem later on, which my installer wouldn't do in any case even if I wanted to!!! As a sidenote my installer said to me on Saturday morning "Relax at home, enjoy the weekend & pick her up on monday" wise advice most of you would say but I told him my genuine problem which was "How can I enjoy my weekend? My car is not here yet!!!" So I'm looking forward to picking her up tomorrow & will update this thread with more pics & a review of how she drives & a report on the work done. What I did realise in this period is that miss my trusty Dhanno badly when she's not with me. I had to drive mum's Santro for the past few days & did a outstation trip to pick her up from Haridwar (she was returning from her pilgrimage) and drove 400 kms round trip. It was not only slow & not so good handling but also did not have a CD player (my mother hates listening to any kind of music!!) and the seats are quite bad & gave me a terrible backache on the long-distance trip. I think I should stick to driving my car only unless there is a dire problem! Rest let's hope for the best & look forward to driving her again tomorrow!! P.S. Sorry for the extra long post guys! |
