Thanks Guys for the fun time today. It was a welcome change form the "normal" grind.
Attendance :
naveen.raju , josejoseph , firestorm (aka bittu) , yzfrj (myself), Praphul and his Bro Praseen (2 petrol heads who are not on the forum)
Started with the "gang" to the checkpoint @ BMC (Bharat Mata College) around 3:50pm from home which is just 5.5Kms away.
Took it really slow couple of signals en-route helped the cause.
Got a call from Naveen @ 4:25 pm stopped and picked up it seems he has overshot the location by 500mts. We ended up reaching BMC at the same time.
Naveen, Praphul, Bittu, Praseed

Naveen's ride
Jose would be delayed till 5pm. We chatted away and finally started towards the "hill" with a planned tea stop. Jose arrived just as we were about to start @5:10pm
Tea break lasted for around 20mins.
Bittu got a call and had to rush home with Praseed. Said he will meet us at the "Hill"
Ready to roll after tea
So we pressed on and reached the "Hill" by 5:50pm.
Surface is Gravel with lots of loose rocks = no grip = fun
The chopped Hill with Jose 5speed 800
Hill has changed a lot. There was a motocross track (mud jumps and the works) on top of it. Now half the hill was missing. We pressed on stopped and climbed the thing on foot and spotted a "spot" that will the apt for the next stop.
Walking to the top Jose, Praphul, Naveen

New spot "spotted"

Short drive on Gravel with 0 grip and we were there.
We climb down and the cars are waiting

Jose wrestling with the cam. But on the flip side this guy is really cool behind the wheel of his 800

Pose for the pic, Naveen can't get enough of his Swift ogling away.

Soon bittu and Praseed joined us again.
The "lost sheep" is back
Topics varied from mods to child seats
Tyre choices
Planned upgrades
Next set of tyres
"mileage kya hai"
Seat covers
Rx stories
Driving stories
Chennai to pudupet stories
restoration to performance mods.
Then it hit us all the cars in the meet were Maruti cars.
800 5 Speed accept no substitutes.

Naveen's Swift

My (err my dad's) Swift

The "BAR" car (Sticker on Jose's 800)

The done up grill

I cheered for the Other "H" (H in OHC)
Vtec and more leg pulling and as the sun going down we decided we will compare HID's in
Projector Vs Stock
4300K Vs 6000K
Autogauge Vs Philips
Projector (4300k) - Low

Projector (4300k) - High

Projector (4300k) - High

Projector (4300k) - Low

Left side of the pic is the light from Projector(4300k) Right side is HID's (6000k) in stock headlight unit

Stock headlight with HID (6000k)- High

Stock headlight with HID (6000k)- Low
Result : Projector Rules, stock + HID is better than Halogen.
And we saw the "ring"
Exchanged phone numbers and we bid Adios.
A shot and rather brisk formation drive back and we parted ways.
Oh boy what fun.
What a day to finish off friendship day a meet to make new friends.
Until next time amigos.
Adios...!
