H27 are you sure?? Because I wanted to upgrade the fog lamps too and the guy said they were H7s or H8s. Also said that i can book the Philips CrystalVisions H8 for them since i have the CrystalVision in the main headlamps (H4)

i got the foglamps from the market and in that its h27 maybe in the company the foglamps are h7 or h8 will check and let u know.
in the main headlights i have bosch xenons 8000k fitted as of now.
first i had fitted vision x xenons 6000k. i like the 6000k better
will be changing back to it.

drove back from bangalore yesterday evening after getting the headers and exhaust done from raj.
i am getting abt 10 - 12 bhp more power now
can really feel the difference, its much more powerful and very quick now.
it was already getting dark when i reached the highway but i managed to
hit a top speed of 190kmph i think it can do more.
the next time i go on the highway will try it out.

have not got the k&n as yet.
i should get the k&n fitted the next time i go on the highway.
i think with the k&n should get abt 3-5 bhp more.

will try to take photos of the full headers till the exhaust and upload it as soon as possible.

i think that is too much but it may be possible. what other mods are you planning to do? get a k&n cold air intake like the apollo if it can fit the sx4.

I upgraded the stock headlamps with Philips Crystal vision. Wanted to change the fog with white light. Which one should I go for and what is the cost of that ?

KnN Apollo kits cost around 8k or so.

crazy looking ride dude,

congrats on the car and the wheels..

have you noticed whether the increased size has affected the speedo readings yet? and if so - by how much? i would assume that the reading you get would actually be slower than what you are actually driving...
