dear v1p3r, my 1994 maruti 1000 has exact same gearbox (gear ratios final drive) you mentioned as close ratio one. Swift GTi (except USA/Canadian ones) also had same gearbox but with 4.105 Final drive. Is this maruti 1000 gearbox or you sourced it the way you described?
Sweet lookin ride there. Ananth kamaths comment below kinda pissed me off though. The bit about there being too much money in India. Typical emigrant who fled and then badmouths his own kind.
"These ratios mean the car would do about 40 in 1st gear, and under 80 in 2nd".
I didn't quite understand this. Wouldn't a stock gearbox achieve similar speeds?
sukrit, thanks. The Maglines are about 27k for a set of 4, and the OZs started off at 72k for a set of 4, but came down to 52k for a set of 4 later. The fogs are OE SGP, I think 13k or so.
hey, can you mention the fog lights brand & price along with the price for the alloys please, you can pm if you feel more comfortable that way. Awesome pictures.
No, this is a built engine, with a full GT28 kit ready to go on. I sold the car though. I worked hard for my money, to buy this car, so I don't see your point. I don't go around talking trash on your Miata or Beemer, do I? And it's cam, not camS.
