Modifying my Alto VXI 1.1 Alloy Rims and Tires

desigNation · 1st July 2007, 18:44

hi mavrick-wow nice car there,but some suggestions,1.i think using a silver sticker would be better than the yellow ones to avoid the taxiish look, silver would make it more elegant at the same time sporty,2.please avoid the huge sticker on the front glass, cant read what is written,this looks too bold, make it smaller and a different font, try the font-"sofa chrome',its really good.3. use a imported tail pipe tip, dont go for the locally made one.otherwise beautiful car.

Yea desigNation I will follow your tips for the next stickering to be done later on after i am done with this. I need info on sports mufflers and i dont want to change the vehicle dynamics by changing the system. I heard of a some kind of a musical mufflers that would give the same sound after some KMPH instead of completely going for an overhaul of the exhaust system.

Nice pics...any reasons for going with 165/60 rather than 155/65...

Congrats on your install dude. Please get rid of those yellow stripes from the car.
No offense meant I know its your car and your choice,but looks really whacky.

She would look really hot without those stickers.

I quite like those stripes though.

VJ_MAVRICK · 2nd July 2007, 17:42

Hey Guys....

@akroy----Abhi nothing specific about going with 165 as i initially planned on 155 itself but as i went on with 13" wanted to have a neat look though and stuck with that and though i was very skeptical about it, i am having a smooth ride and good grip too.

@rjstyles69 -----

they are whacky haaan ..i would "styles" once i get bored with it.i liked it though as desigNation suggested as "taxiish"...

and even you might think so... it did not really hit me until you folks suggested but right now for some days i would stick with it .

@Sudipto-S-Team---- Thanks sudipto for liking the stripes and in particular i am a Michael Jordan Fan and guess what i have "MJ" on the rear glass and on the front doors with some inspiration that drives me on.

Cheers Vijay

Get rid of the stripes. It would real hot without htem. Also a change of muffler tip. But you are looking for a sports muffler so i think you got that covered.

VJ_MAVRICK · 3rd July 2007, 10:45

Hi Rohan,
Yea I would try to get rid of the stripes @ some time soon and i do need suggestions and tips on mufflers as am only looking for some cool decibels which rock without affecting the engine dynamics. Can you help me on that.

Hey Akshay,
I am a bit perplexed about that as i am a novice in this and basically i dont want to get my engine affected and right now going through the threads in the mufflers and ffe sections of the forum to decide on that and any suugestion and pointers are always a welcome.

Fail to understand whats modded here

.

If you only need sound get an after-market end can or get one custom made.Also get an after market air filter for the car.

For FFE PM speedzak he has done some work on his wolf wrapped in sheep's skin.
