@ chirag: looking for some more, some body suggested me, SAI MAG WHEELS in drelhi, will visit there and then take any call

@ maverick: thanks bro, i bought this car from True value, and spacers were already added by the previous owner, i just have to add 13"ers....so, you plan to add alloys in near future some time ?

Yipee !! Finally got Michelin XM1 Plus for my zen today !!!! will post pics soon !!!!!!!!

My old tires (Goodyear 155/70/12) were in REALLYY bad condition, only 1 was okay okay types, which now I am using as a spare tire

Old tire





And here's my New Michelin Hyper powered turbo charged ...

Michelin XM1+









After there tires were installed, I went to alignment, as the steering was a little tilt towards left hand side.

Got 4 tires for Rs. 8750

[nick17s]

Alignment done for Rs. 150 from Chankya Puri petrol pump.
Ride quality is amazing and car is running smoothly. Tire is quiet silent unlike the Goodyear.

Alignment pics !















I went to the tire shop with a cousin, he was insisting me to get Bridgestone or Michelin but 145/80/12 (Stock size)

But I was planning to get 165/70/12 Hankook.

Somehow, the shop owner (he was my cousin's friend) convinced me to get Michelin, and now I am loving the Michelins, though I sometimes feel to DIY the white letter or my Michelin !! but it would look bad after 2-3 washes..

Hey,
Congrats on the new rubber...i just wanted to know if you had gone to get your mesh grill done and who you were getting it done from. i need to go get the mesh grill done for my alto as well.
Details would help like time involved and cost. Thanks.

[nick17s]

@lilmonster: bro i went but at that point intym, by front bumper was not aligned properly, so I had to get that aligned properly. Now will go again to install the mesh grills.

Hello Everyone !!

I dont know whether I should post this upgrade, but lol, I was getting bored at work and my boss is gone to Mexico.

Well, I got a new battery yesterday for my Zen, its an Amaron, thanks to dad, he forgot to switch off the fog lights sat eve, and next day the battery was completely dead, not even horn/ blinkers were working, and even the ignition signs were not visible

Last battery was installed approx. 4 years back, that was an Amaron too, there is no specific reason that I have installed Amaron once again

Pics of old battery.




This happens when you run aftermarket fog lights with relay, Minda dual horn, 90/100 halonex tubes in headlamps with relay a amp and a sub



New Battery wich comes with 18 months replacement + 18 Months warranty





Got the battery for Rs. 2600 (inexchange for the old battery) from Safdarjug Enclave, there is a battery shop near DPPS (Delhi Police Public School)

Hey nick17s,

Your thread is turning more into a long term ownership thread(you could probably ask the mods to move it to a more sutiable section), what future mods have you planned on your zen?

Pramod

[nick17s]

@pramod: thanks for the suggestion bro !! ill surely ask the mods to do so, i am planning to add k&n filter and an exhaust, have recently purchased an 2006 esteem lxi, will add cng to esteem, then start the mods on my zen.
