| My Pocket Rocket No, I did not buy a Getz CRDi, Its niether pocket nor a rocket  I always wanted to have a small sleeper kind of a car at home, which at will could give some of the big cars a run for its money, the smile on your face and the state of shock on the other guys face is always a moment I love to see and enjoy, but sadly I am not only born in the wrong country but also the wrong part of it. Delhi has very very famous and world-class tuners. The achievements of Mr Navit Basin are very famous on this forum, I have gone to tuners who have sold customers Exreddy clutches by painting the OEM clutch pink, or Eibach springs but cutting the OEM springs short and painting them red. Seeing all this always kept me away from this side of the world, I never wanted a thing like that happen to me or my car, since its hard earned money and cars are something I respect the upmost. SO this DREAM was left as a DREAM only. Cut back to a day when I got a ride in a red E-Zen, a 1.3 carb tuned and setup by Phil running the tunning house called Speed-Sport. That changed everything for me, It was fast reliable and did scare and shock some big cars on the road. Good three four meetings with Phil, negotiations thoughts what to do what not to do, I finally zeroed on making a E-Zen for myself. E-Zens have been very famous down south, seen loads of them perform very well at Speedruns etc, so this was the perfect start for me. Went out bought a car and started to work on that. Initially got the simple esteem 1.3 MPFi engine into the car, wired everything fixed and got it running. Some pictures of that. |

| Mods So the basic engine is in and running. Its already fast compared to the normal zen I was driving for a day or two. But it was still not enough, I wanted more so modding this engine began. Started with the basic filter and a complete FFE installed with headers tuned and designed by phil himself. Result faster more torque free flow engine but then again not enough. what went in after that was a CAM and an Race dynamics ECU to control it, This is when everything changed, we had a drag racing event coming up in Delhi, happened on 19th Sep, called the Redline, Phil tuned by ECU for that, the Cam kicking in at 4000RPM was almost like a turbo, pushed back into your seat and the way the speed climbed after that were insane. Never seen anything like that before. The figures, How fast is it?? Well check the video, Drag with a stock vRS, now I guess everything on-board here knows the specs of a stock RS, I went almost 3 car lengths ahead of it at the finish. See and decide for yourself. Still loads of stuff left to do on it, I plan to do in stages, for now this is enough for the competition I have here. |

| Holy smokes! You literally pwned the vRS guy. Its a clear example of how power to weight ratio matters. Taking nothing away from your driving skills. Respect!  I always wanted a Zen. I ended up with the Estilo. :| EDIT: I love the sticker you put up. 'Can't keep up?'  Last edited by Cartman : 21st September 2010 at 15:09. |

| Senior - BHPian  | Hey that was "nice". Had it not been for my back, I'd surely have had a turbo charged B-Zen. "kehne mein kya jaata hai"I love the signature "Speedsport exhaust" out of the bumper, now that is out of the box thinking !! Cheerio |

| Senior - BHPian  | Nice mod. But, a question creeps in my mind; Why ZEN only? I mean, Is this mod particular for only Zen or Petrol powered cars? Could'nt this be done to a Diesel car? Ofcourse, that would need a different planning, set-up and design. |
