FFE on Maruti-800

PAVAN KADAM · 19th January 2008, 17:48

Must be your fuel pump.

Get the diaphragm checked,

I think thats where the fault is.

noidaboy · 20th January 2008, 16:13

fuel pump is brand new!!

NOS Power · 20th January 2008, 20:16

Thats an excellent restoration project.

How much did it all cost you?????????

PAVAN KADAM · 20th January 2008, 21:01

Thank you NOS Power,

The painting and Tinkering cost me around. Rs 35000/- This includes new bumpers few fittings like the weather strips and few nuts and bolts,

Upholstery job cost me around 9500/- (Very shortly i am putting those Pics)
This also includes door pads.

Mags and Tyres cost me around 18900/-.(I am posting the pics shortly)

All these were done over a period of 6 months in order to avoid Vit-M crunch.

Hi Guys,

Check out the latest pics of My M-800.

Back portion of the car

One more from the other side.

Alloys : 12 inch from K-speed.

Tyres :Bridgestone GIII Tubeless 265/60/R12

Wanted to keep it stock.

I used a 2.5 inch spaces to increase height at the rear.

Front end gets a 1.5 inch raise.

Did this height increase just to make the car look little bit big.

And my GOD it gives a great road grip and handles the corners so well.

The car just hugs the road man.

PAVAN KADAM · 21st January 2008, 16:01

Now guys lets move on to the Interiors.

I have used 2 combination of colors as well as the selection of materials as well.

Streaked light brown cloth with Biege Art leather.

Guys it was too bright in the morning, will upload better pics on the next post.

Let me know guys.

Start Throwing.........

great job Pavan, she looks amazing!!

PAVAN KADAM · 22nd January 2008, 12:39

Harry Sorry its 165/60/R12.

Typo error buddy.

PAVAN KADAM · 22nd January 2008, 12:41

Thank you Saintsinner.

PAVAN KADAM · 22nd January 2008, 12:46

i can remove the mud flaps man, but the problem is i dont want to screw the paint on the car, on a rainy day the whole car turns brown without mud flaps.

About the Spacers.
My rear suspension is from latest maruti. Used a spacer made of aluminium at the rear (2.5) inch high.
Front end similar aluminium spacer (1.4) inch high.

This was done for a practical purpose because my FFE was touching almost all the Bangy speed breakers.

On the whole bargain my car suddenly started to handle better than it was earlier.

Aesthetically it is looking bit big.

I have used black stickering on the pillars to give the sunfilm area uniform.

Im even looking for a good set for headers (don't want to use auto mech)

suggestions

Whitesh smoke indicates towards a blown head gasket.How is the coolant level?and the oil level?

How did you increase height at the front. spacers above the strut?

PAVAN KADAM · 22nd January 2008, 22:15

Yes Mpower,

Just above the struts.

We actually need to balance the vehicle.

Too much height in the front will spoil your drive.
