My Car - My Maruti Alto LXI

[Rajvel]

The Arm rest looks awesome and whats the cost of buying it and fittting charges.

 

[kannan]

the armrest looks wonderful and it is certainly useful. but does it affect the hand brake usage? i mean in an emergency, is it easy to get hold of the handbrake handle? p.s nice seat covers!

 

[Varun560061]

Finishing is good, is it an universal fit ? Do post some pic's of installation too.

Doesn't it effect when sliding the seat ?

 

[rakeshkn]

It will not effect on handbrake as it has a fold function and its above the handbrake. Yes varun its universal fit and it not effected on sliding but got some scratches while sliding on the fiber panel from the screws that's all.

unfortunately I driven my car in deep water., by gods grace the engine not stopped on water. But now the gear not shifting to fifth and reverse smoothly and snoozing sound coming from suspension and under body.

Given car to ASS today to lubricate all over under the body. Waiting for the weekend to check it out the results.

I am sharing some images with the foot light installed. How its look? give some feedback friends










replaced fog lamp bulb with philips

 

[Varun560061]

Looks good, you could have got orange or white leds.

Did you increase the wattage of the bulbs ?

 

[Akash]

Those leds are looking good, i too have similar setup, but that's blue in color.

@Varun: True buddy, white ones would look awesome, even i am searching for them, but suddenly the led market has lost its charm. Most of the guys who were dealing in Leds have stopped keeping them in stock, here in Ranchi.

 

[rakeshkn]

true there is so many verities available in the market like yellow blue green etc I searched for orange but it is not in the market :) varun I am not increased the wattage but just put two branded bulbs I hope it will last long.

Is possible to change gear shift linkage to cable type as in like alto k10. advice me varun bTW I will send you the images asap

 

[Varun560061]

Conversion to Cable type would be tough. I already taught do it long ago.

Also contacted my mechanic, he told that entire shifting assembly needs to be changed (costly affair). BTW Alto's gears are smooth.

Rakesh, really it is nice to see arm rest. Actually I missed this thread just today after getting guidance from Varun, BLR in my thread http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...k-modification-accessories-11.html#post210704 i have landed here. It has cleared all my doubts about this arm rest with hand break.

Still only question remains was asked by kannan. But it is true I belive. It might not be a problem when you are going to park and use hand break. Assume in sudden emergency where we could use hand break might get affected in this case? am i right?

No sethumurugan its wont effect the handbrake usage its accessible without folding arm rest,. check out my pics.

varun I guess the gear shift assy is direct fit from K10 how could I check it will suite or not? any idea?

 

[Varun560061]

You can try. Also check with the ASS for the price.

But it cant be done on my car, as it is 4 speed.

 

[rakeshkn]

got Gear shift mechanism diagram from other site of alto 800 but I cant find a diagram or cable type gear shifter pic from any where. can you help me varun.
