i like the wheel arches but aren't they protuding too much! i think he should have spacers if he wants them to protude so much!! does anyone know where i can get them in delhi? decent subtle ones! i doubt arush or anyone would be interested in making just custom wheel arches for me!! ;-)

Dhruv!!!!

I saw Performance Auto in Sector 2 Noida making a full kit on a ZEN with 1" spacers on each side, with proper fibre wheel arches. The ZEN had a custom paintjob and a lot of other things done on it. You could contact Raj Kapoor there.

I've been to Performance Auto. They charge a high premium for their work...

Why dont u go for an Automech exhaust ?

speed0mania · 18th May 2007, 23:52

well i've read that automech makes more or less standard exhausts, while viper is the guy you want to go to if you have specific needs! and i have heard good reviews of viper performance! i want an exhaust for low-mid range, for better drivability in the city and i want it totally silent below 2-3k rpm! and i am also also very particular about the kind of sound i want!! :-p

AFAIK the Mumbai Automech guys do care of what the customer needs....
I've seen a couple of their exhaust with same features as u need....It still working n doing great job after 3 years of rigorous highway drives...

Man If u plan to get freeflow system , Automech is the best my modded Fiat had one and I plan to get headers from them for my swift too, But I have never used their mufflers I always got mine from abroad what u can do is get the headers from them and install with the headers an imported Muffler like HKS or Megaflow then see the diffrence, by the way where can I get a good Spoiler for my swift like the one on the white and blue swift pic

aZa · 21st May 2007, 02:03

dhruvy! we have three santro's and an OHC running Viper FFE! Also the exhaust growls after 2500 RPM only under that there is a deep low humm. If you are peculiar about the SOUND then u can go in for a aftermarket endcan/muffler there are loads of them around for SWIFT!

speed0mania · 22nd May 2007, 16:09

karthik247 · 22nd May 2007, 23:39

Awesome!!!

But

Such a *HOT* color demands a Photo shoot in BRIGHT SUN LIGHT karthik

binz · 23rd May 2007, 02:06

Very nice!

Suggest you extend the matt black on the hood till the A-pillar.Looks a bit awkward Imo.

His car looks very good in bright sunlight...

Was surprised when i saw his car in another colour...

Actually, started following the car without knowing it was his car... Then only noticed the number plate...
