This Red Zen has a Baleno Engine, and a turbo, it's owned by the younger brother of the previous owner of the White Turbo Supra in Bangalore. The car was done @ FRK. Had seen it couple of times while the turbo install was happening.
Anyone have pics of the Red Turboed B-Zen's innards?
Turbo B-Zen? Turbo B Zen? Sheer madness!:Shockked: I still cant believe what I typed!

Found this modified Zen at the racetrack a few years ago, it looks very neat. I dont know what mods have gone in, so if any one knows please shed some light.
@mods: sorry if i have posted this elsewhere.

This Zen looks gorgeous. Could anyone guess the profile of the tyres? Would like to have them on my Zen. Thanks!

If I am not wrong the alloys are Lenso SHU series and they start with 15".

If you're going to add tyres like that to a stock Zen, be prepared to be overtaken by octagenarians on their morning walk:)

well said :) nething above 14" (max 15") wil not do justice to 998cc.
Yeah that B Zen is kinda crazy, it won some category in Speed run 2 years ago as far as I remember, I have seen this machine in action, most of the time on full blast u need a 3 lane open road for the first 3 gears as it might torque steer to any lane as it wishes.
Tyres are 195 45 R15 Fedral tyres, not so great tyres but no option in that category other than nankang.
I have 195 45 R14 hankooks on my zen and even that slows down a stock zen to quite some extent, 15" is just overkill on a stock Zen, but for this B zen even 15 is not enough grip, need some advan neovas for this one.
this is my 2002 zen lxi :)
guess it need some mods, which am planning to do in sometime.
one more Q, is there any harm in raising the shocks by an inch or 2 as the GC in zen sucks...but at the same time i dont wanna spoil the low ride feature of it....can someone suggest how much raising is recommended without spoiling the ride quality please:

Hey, use spring bush for height your car will raise by 1.5 inches for both front and back, front you get metal ones and for back you get rubber bushes.

hey cyrus....even i don wanna raise my car....but if the car's loaded (even with 4 ppl), it scrapes thru most of the speed brakers :( which kinda hurts me....so thats d only reason thats pushing me to raise....i still havent made my mind though..:) but i wud neva want to compromise on my handling....so i guess i might i might not stupid:
i got these spacers for increasing height of my m800. the car seemed to be out of control at higher speed .so removed the spacers.
will neva do nething thats gonna affect the handling, so i guess i will live with the scrapes for now :)
may b tyre upgrade is an other option
I had spacers in my zen (check my gallery for pics). The handling was very bad on both high and low speeds. I have removed it now and running on stiffened suspension with 175/60 R13 tyres. The car is very low now but still dont scrape the ground! Will post pics soon.
