Used to get around 9-10 kmpl in city with full time AC on. Now seems it has increased because of the fully synthetic oil. Fuel needle dropping much slower! Gonna check the mileage on highway now :D Also would take a lot of photographs on this tour! Destinations to visit are Ooty and Coorg!!
First thing I'm gonna do after I return is put in a 4 channel amp instead of the 2 channel amp which I have now. Also, need to change the headlamp units. Any suggestions where I could get a used 4 channel amp are welcome.

The drive is good between ooty and Coorg, You can also visit Mudhumalai forest santury on the way. then Mysore and Coorg ( madekari ). I still remember that road from ooty to mudhumalai which has 39 very short hairpin bends . love to drive on that road anyday !
just give way to the upcoming vehicles .
Be safe and have a happy journey.

Punisher -- Nice modded lancer. By the way, does synthetic oil causes increase in mileage? Which is the best suited for i10?
ilango -- Your car was also fantastically modded. Really liked it.
coorg -- I love this place. Believe me, after traveling across UK(though not entire Europe), and Americas, I feel India is the best to roam around. Anyways sorry for going off topic.

@Punisher: Very neatly modded Lancer buddy. The gearlever and the steering is looking nice compared to the boring old wheel. IMO try getting the interiors revamped.

Fully Synthetic is much better and lasts longer than normal mineral based oil. Check the recommended grade for synthetic oil in your i10's manual.. Mobil1, Castrol, Shell make good quality synthetic oils.
Even I have it in mind.. will do by next month ;) First need to put in a 4 channel amp and change the headlamp units.

A question to you after using synthetic oil you have found the engine noise slowed down? did they flush the engine before changing the oil?

Alright! Had a clicking sound from the front right suspension while steering so changed front both suspension bearings and rubber bushes. Air filter changed to Bosch. Acceleration is amazing, thanks to Fully Synthetic Oil I guess. Also, noticed an improvement in fuel efficiency! Tomorrow leaving for Ooty :D Its gonna be a long long ride.. No halts! My tyres got Nitrogen now.
Thanks, Yes, got it flushed before changing the oil. The oil is Castrol Magnatec 5w40. The engine sounds very smooth and acceleration is fantastic! Doesnt feel like a stock car for some reasons.

Okay folks, need some help.. I am in ooty now. Will be going to Mysore and Bangalore by tomorrow. Can anyone suggest me a good mechanic or garage who really know stuff about a lancer? There is some problem with the radiator fan. The fuse keeps blowing up. I'm managing by keeping the bonnet lose and ac fan on.

Blowing of fuse , continuous means some wire is being shorted
Hope in a highway drive , there is no need of radiator fan , just stop for a while if the temperature rises . take night drives to be more safe.
How come you keep bonet loose? you mean in open position. that may fly over and hit the windshield.
Bangalore has lot of good mechanic , also authorised service i hope .

I am not at all familiar with Ooty, still i could manage some addresses of the automobile workshops there. Hope the information helps.

+1 to Ilango's advice.
The open bonnet is very risky. A bump is enough to let it fly and hit the windshield. IMO get you car inspected at some workshop in Ooty itself. Try the above mentioned centers and do let me know if the info helps else i will try to get addresses of some more shops.

Thanks for your replies friends :) radiator fan has been connected directly and working fine now. Will check the wiring faults once back in pune. Now at a dhaba outside Mysore, having lunch. Cya soon!
