2004 Ford Ikon 1.6 ZXi

1100D’s Team-BHP Garage

Engine Specifications:

1600cc 8 Valve 91 bhp, pretty conservative for a car that packs quite a punch, means on the real road its the torque that speaks (especially when it comes early)

Engine Misc.:

Turbocharger & Induction:

K&N Stock replacement

Fuel & Tuning:

Exhaust:

Drivetrain:

Weight reduction & transfer:

Suspension, wheels & tires:

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3 (185/65 R14) upfront, Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3 (185/65 R14) at the rear. Basically used to have a lot of fun with my front wheel drive radio control cars after covering the rear tyres with cello tape!! More grip upfront means the rear steps out more frequently. But then has to be enjoyed responsibly.

pc73	Well maintained! Despite the image that Ford has, my 2002 1.6 Ikon has run about 140K Kms and is still in great shape! In terms of driving pleasure and handling, it feels better than my new Vento (I may be biased!), which is a very capable car on its own merit.	8th August 2013
Catalyst_delhi	HI i have a 1.6 zxi too. i changed the heater diverter valve but i think i swapped the hoses.. would be great if you could guide me with a pic. one hose has a temp sender and the other is a regular hose	5th November 2011
Absar	Beautifully maintained shade of black. Your car has to love you for the maintainance you do for it without any sacrifices.	18th September 2010
Jayabusa	Nice car, cool pics.	17th September 2010

vivekji05	Nice Ikon 1.6 you got there. I have a silver ZXi of 2004 vintage and love the low end response of the ROCAM motor. Has your ikon been running trouble free?	3rd January 2009
Xehaust	Nice pics man. P.S. - Tyres that grip better (Or are older) must be put on the rear, else the car has high chances of aquaplaning in the rains and can cause a bad accident.	18th April 2008
planet_rocker	Atlast, Aronnyo Debi is here! love the pic. gorgeous.	18th April 2008

S Pathak	Nice pics you got here too. Looks like we have the same car insame colour with same tyres. Coincidence ? Or is it great minds thinking alike ;-)	1st March 2007
Edmund	very clean.............. i like..............	23rd February 2007
benbsb29	So, disregarding performance, i get the other features. I am very HAPPY with my car. Strongly advocate the IKON.. anyday.	19th February 2007
benbsb29	I NEVER said the car was bad. Which is why i went in for an Ikon myself. but alas, only the Flair was on offer.	19th February 2007
1100D	Show me another car that offer the same levels of handling and Throttle response. These two easily overcome everything negative.	17th February 2007
1100D	Problems are not with the car, but with the sole workshop for Ford in Kolkata (Ganges Ford). Spare parts quality at this workshop is a suspect.	17th February 2007
danlalan	who said anything about problems...what problems..	15th February 2007
benbsb29	Nice car, dude... Pity about the frequent probs though...	15th February 2007
danlalan	Great pics dude...your ikon looks a stunner in black..	9th February 2007

shuvc	Checked at one tyre shop. They said F1's are not available in 185/65 R14 size ! Are yours 185/65 or 185/60 ?	9th January 2007
planet_rocker	Oh mamma! it definitely came better than the pics i took... love it...looove it...whr on earth did u take the pic?	19th December 2006

planet_rocker	where did you take the pic? shankarpur beach? and i guess it was in the afternoon...	11th October 2006
1100D	have the tyre setup like that deliberately to aid oversteer a bit. But soon F1 on all 4.	28th September 2006
sankeerthreddy	for how much will u sell it man?	26th September 2006
Mpower	Great car but really odd suspension setup. You should go F1s on all four.	26th September 2006
1100D	Eagle F1's help braking by a lot with respect to the stock ZVTS's. Its the stock tyres that are bad and now I dont have any braking issues.	24th August 2006
hellspawn	despite the f1's the front gip of the car is amazing.once u drive a 1.6 every other car feels so lazy.good pics.i miss my car.	24th August 2006
1100D	Dont like mudflaps. They dont really protect, instead run more water thru wheelwells at speed, which could unsettle car at high speed.	10th August 2006
sunilchakola	Neet work.... keep iti up!. why you remove the mud flaps?	9th August 2006
gr8guzzler	Gr8 Pics....Ikon looks gr8 in black	4th August 2006
