Would love to see some pics in here, for an inspiration for other Go-kart owners .

My front scuff plates konked off, didnt get time to check if its a wiring problem or plates went dead. Miss those rich blue lights in the dark.

check out the strobe lites that i got installed at the back, to help when im reversing. I did not install at the front, since i alrady have DRLS and dont want to blind incomin traffic- ramu

I suddenly felt that I was at a disco.
So it lights only in reverse gear? Then its fine.
But still, a bit overdo for me. No offense mate!
Any particular reason for getting it?

The connection is done for the parking light actually, so when i turn on parking lights and press a switch provided to me

Best- ramu

hey, can any1 guide me on the insurance thingy?

i have been quoted 9.3K for my car as comprehensive insurance, and 12k for Zero dep.

I will be taking zero dep, but its slightly expensive. Any other vendors who are offering good insurance rates???

Re: Honda Brio: Love @ First Drive (15 Months & 15K Kms)

but that isnt zero dep. Add-on value should be zero dep

is it necessary to have zero dep? I am happy with comprehensive honda assure, as ur aware that the whole insurance bizness in India is a big sham

Thoughts? Is it really essential 2 get Zero-dep?

Zero dep could be availed only for initial 5years of a new car.

Since majority of the parts are fibre, and adds to depreciation, i would suggest you to go for it. God forbid something went wrong, you would have to shell out the processing fee (around 1k i believe), rest all parts would be covered 100% under insurance. ==== POM


Meanwhile, a little bit of DIY coming up shortly on my ride. Have been planning this for quite some time, but finally, managed to make it a reality. Hope it turns out good. Pics coming soon.

under normal insurance, there would be depreciation to be borne by customer with every year. But under zero dep, that doesnt come into picture. Only, add on cover cost of 3-4k would be the burden while renewing the policy. But again, there is the Peace of Mind factor for owners, especially in the era when localizing and plastic-izing is the way to make hefty profits.
