Due to a damaged cam-gear I could not take the car for the mentioned test drive to Bangalore. The cam-gear has now been ordered and should be replaced in the car today.  Hopefully this should be the last hurdle before I can fully experience the benefits of the mod. @ Sivam - Sorry, don't have the pics of the heads grooved. @ Mpower - Yes, new piston rings were also replaced.

| Hey guys, Sorry was a bit busy with some work so was not able to pen down the mysore-bangalore experience that I undertook last saturday. The car is handling exactly the way predicted. The ease with which it throttles is really amazing. In no time I was touching a 100kmhr and it was still pulling effortlessly I also drove with the A/C on in Bangalore traffic and as of now I really have no complaints. The car pulls without any problems from traffic red light stops even with the A/C on. Now with the A/C on it handles like without A/C stock(before the grooving). Frequent shifting is reduced and the average consumption has not changed. I got around 14.5 kmpl full tank to full tank with 300 odd kilometers of city driving and 150 odd kilometers of highways. Assuming around 40% A/C usage. That's all I have. Any clarifications I shall be glad to pitch in Last edited by prateekswarup : 4th May 2009 at 12:04. Reason: Grammar |
