| Senior - BHPian  | Congrats Raamki on the ZXI. Nice color & Do Drive Safe. Any plans to upgrade the ICE? though the stock ICE is good enough but it does lack the capability to please a ICE fanatic!  |

| Senior - BHPian  | Wow, congratulations again again again ! Photos very much reminded me of my delivery, same spot, same person handing over the keys and hope you got that box of very good quality chocolates too ! I really liked it. I just missed those photos though, a camera was with me, but in the excitement I even forgot to hand it over to someone. May be I was too much in a hurry to drive her out to the main road after waiting for a month ! I am sure your redsoul product will be a higher quality altogether. Let us know what model and cost you chose. Side strips will be a painful waiting, I still have not got mine. Did you get the 5 ltr petrol free coupon for India Garage, st.Marks road ? I still have not used it, waiting to drive to the city after tire change on saturday. Any commitment on the number plate ? I had taken delivery in the morning, and same night they came and fixed mine. Please dont forget to share everything here. We still have 4 more fiesta guys waiting to take delivery. Hubli guys were supposed to take delivery tomorow, as of now, its still in transit. Check the tire pressure, mine was not uniform. Forget the dealer recommendation and try 32 on all tires, it should be very comfortable. I didnt follow any run-in rules, driving as usual, trying not to exceed 2500 RPM though. Engine breaking would be helpful in the initial period than jamming the break pedals late. I will post whenever I remember something. Enjoy the drive, you didnt comment anything about your drive home.  |

 my parents had me drive into the most busiest roads around malleshwaram to buy the puja stuff, almost went upto palace guttahalli circle!! an auto tried to squeeze in from the left at a signal and almost took the left ovrm with him, but its still there without a scratch!! that apart, it was quite peaceful!! The redsoul guys were at my place at 7:30pm, we choose the rear view display system, it's clips onto the stock mirror and is quite big as well. Also got the body matching sensor colors luckily! It cost us 4400rs. What impressed me most was the professionalism of the guys who came to install it, they seemed to be very knowledgeable and worked around my car like they knew it inside out! thanks for suggesting them to me, will highly recommend them!! (attaching a few pics of the system, low quality) Nope, did'nt get that 5 litre coupon!! They would've come to know of the number only at 7:30PM (that's what the sales rep said), we've still not been informed of it. He said he will get the number plate along with the side strips on Monday! Sure buddy, thanks for all the info, how about fuel? he said something about adding 1ml of Iftex system-g fuel additive along with every litre of petrol OR re-fuelling at Shell as it comes with this additive anyway. you following that recommendation?

we are not planning any other immediate upgrades but a yeah, the alloy/tyre change is definitely in the pipeline, the car is at my dad's place at the moment and he does'nt drive much, we're talking less than 10kms a day on weekdays! his office is bang opp where he lives!! once i start using the car more regularly, i'll switch to michelins on alloys!! maybe, 6 months down the line! (i currently drive it only over the weekends when am over at my dad's place)the stock seats look just fine to us, but if it starts getting dirty sooner than expected, we'll add the seat covers! Karrlson i hear is a very good brand, infact similar quality to that of Stanley's except with a cheaper price tag!about the VIN, its located to the left of the remote fuel lid opener, flip the little rectangle mat up, and you'll be able to see it! it'll look very similar to --> MAJBXXMRJB9AXXXXX (picture on shaju's thread), once you identify your VIN, you can decode it on this site, Mad Moles VIN Decoder So, if the 11th and the 12 position on your VIN reads 9 & A respectively, then just like our cars, your's was manufactured in July 2009 as well! Let me know if you need help decoding it! Last edited by raamki : 18th August 2009 at 00:35. | |
