@ asif: brother your lxi has a mpfi engine already so all you will have to do is get a engine swap, port polish the head, FFE, K & N Air filter, msd, mallory ignition, Go in for throttle body enlargement and see your cvar fly.

as you have written , your wife also drives your car , i would advise you to just change the engine first , you will feel a big change as soon as you change the engine , the car feels much more responsive afterwards , and your wife will also enjoy it , i feel going for more add ons will result your wife not liking it anymore , rest is up to you , and what more ? you can always add aftermarket parts to your engine.

happy driving
thank you guys for the suggestion
i understand that installing the engine will be nice however
i was a little worried about the suspension and will the stock ecu
work with the larger engine

thanks again!

Stock Acm will work , atleast thats wat a Tuner had told me, we had gone for a friends cars conversion, and the tuner had told us that since our car was a carb engine we'll have to get a used acm, now i dunno if he meant ecu or acm, its better to check with a tuner for better details, suspension setup depends on ur current setup. as such your suspension does not need to be changed unless theyre gone, not required to change if you are putting an esteem engine, if you go in for a OHC engine then yes your suspension, engine foundation will have to be modified as well

the stock ecu does work but not as efficiently as the original ecu.

the honda engine is a very big process custom drive shafts, new mounts/mounting position,wiring etc...
its always better to keep it within the family.

thanks zeeshan and pawan
the suspension on the zen is not that great compared to the suspension on the esteem ,what i was wondering was can i add the esteem suspension on all four sides + add esteem discs all four sides with the engine. well i am quite sure that the ecm would need to be replaced either with a an after market or a stcok ecm of the esteem well can some one shed some light on this please.


and nope nope nope.. i am not interested in the honda engine at all.

Cheers

Hello Frens,
Its been a longtime i've posted anything here....
Here is thought in my mind....

Like the Quotes Zen Carbon....I am also contemplating putting racing stripes on the ride. I was thinking of Twin Stripe Silver Decals/stickers, a radium one of the ride right from Front Bumper to the rear one in the center like the ones on the Mustangs or may be a thick and thin stipe combo from the front to back but a lil offset instead of the center...

Now for the favour i again . I tried my hand at PS CS3 but was not able to figure out its head or tail. Could BadBoyScad or anyone who has some spare time gimme a preview of this. The pics of my ride already aplenty in this thread

I'm sure all Zen owners looking to make their Lil Rockets look sportier will benefit from this.

Any help comments are welcome and appreciated.....

Drive Safe,
Zenster.

@ Zenster : The pics of your zen in this thread were not suitable for the PS chop, so i used the pic of fellow member @ri 's zen to show how stripes may look on your ride. i prefer the twin stripes.i feel the single offset stripe is a little outdated.

Hey Badboy,
YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY Brother, and I really mean it. I have been thinking about this for quite sometime now but was not able to VISUALIZE the end result and you have done it JUST LIKE THAT....Amazing.

Just a one thing more thing buddy, could you modify the pic and extend the stripes on the bumper like the one in the pic of the mustang. I know my ride is nowhere close to the mustang and has no Bumper Skirts but ould like to see how it looks. I'd like to see it once with the stripes going down all the way, missing the mesh grill and the number plates.

And yeah sorry for being a pain
