every weekend, juan pablo!!

btw...feel free to call me viper if v1... is too bugging to type...and if the other (mumbai) viper isn't on the same thread...v1 was a bad judgement call...

[iceman91]

well an esteem box will not go on a baleno...need to do a close ratio box..using closer gears

Well Ice but i would like to get behind the wheel of you SUPER SUPER BALENO and yeah his Street stories say that.

p.s v1p3r how many litres does your car consume per kilometer with that kind of driving..

[iceman91]

well whenever you come to bangalore but come quick since i am planning to sell it

[Montoya]

Hey viper you snached the words out of my mouth. I was getting bugged typing a number in between alphabets. Anywayz if viper is also there i guess ill call you the Civic killer(thats suits your image) Well the way you drive gives me an impression that your Juan Pablo and i am Ralf

Which car is replacing the Baleno and i am sure which ever does will also be a super car after you get your hands on it..

When i am planing to come to bangi i would surely like to meet you and meet Rudra Sir with his amby..

P.s Congo on becoming a Senior Bhpian Ice

hey guys doing 60 in first gear and 100 in second gear dosent it harm the engine. after 60 in first gear my car starts making too much noise why is that so

[iceman91]

kooldude,
the reason is because you are pushing the engine to its limit.try shifting a little earlier or get the carb and tuning done so you can push it till there. if its carb engine...else you will be hitting the rev limit for an mpfi car

[jigarmuni]

well, i have owned a baleno, a esteem MpFi , and currently i have the Vtec. Must admit that somehow the suzuki engines do sounds and feel rev happy! They indeed have more pepp in them till the second year, but as ice said....u shift them to third...and they are dead!

Well i havent timed these cars for 0-100kph...but i think that the esteem surely beats the baleno for 0-100kph. coz its got a much better power to weight and torque to weight ratio.

Cant really comment for the Vtec coz.... she is runnign 205's where else my other cars were running stock tires..!

well i rated these cars on the feel good factor.... Coz..as far as road driving goes i really dunt believe in what the clock shows. U drive a zen at 100, drive a esteem at 100 & drive a Vtec or baleno at 100. U will end up getting more kicks and thrill outta your zen.. just coz the car is smaller...so the speed sensation is much higher!!

P.s. lets not consider the safety factor here.... i purposely left it aside...

hey ice, i am coming to banglore in 2nd week of june, So can i also avail a drive of your baleno ???

[iceman91]

haha get in line guys!!!!
man i am selling the car...if its still with me then we can see else i am sorry!!!!

[kooldude]

hey iceman
its silly to ask u but what is a carb engine and my car is not a mpfi engine. Thanks will try shifting gears a little earlier as i also feel there is no need to do this

[iceman91]

kooldude,
a carburetor engine is the older model of teh esteem while he new ones are fuel injected.

[kooldude]

thanks iceman
i also wanted to know that my car is a 98 model so in my papers it is written that it is a 65 bhp is that true
