Hi 800 is a nice car its our first car now we own a fiesta but today also dad likes 800 as its very much easy to drive in cities and with that 800 we would be going at a speed of 140kmph and overtake other cars also but i have not driven that one more and after driving fiesta i feel there are no brakes in 800 so i have never crossed 70kmph when i drive but when drivers do 120+ in 4 tracks

Wow, nice pedals and fog lamps.

Those lamps look a bit too big without the bull bar don't they.

Absolutely love the pedals.Aluminium or plastic?

Thx.
I removed the bull bar. Initially I fitted these lamps on the bull bar. But I started hitting the road humps especially while travelling between Mysore and Hassan. My god! so many unmarked humps in this road[frustration]
Pedals are made out of brushed aluminium,(Italy make Sparco) one of the best I ever seen. They have good quality gear knobs also.

Congrats on the HU, Pedals & ofcourse the big Fogs. It looks very neat at the front. I really loved that badge you have pasted on the front door, I might copy that [:D]

Have you changed the speakers in your car? You happen to visit Bangalore pretty often I guess, let us meet the next time you come here [:)]

Do post One or two pictures of the fogs switched on at night.

Hi,
Today I have added voltmeter to my Maruti 800. There was space below my car stereo which was meant for keeping cassettes. I purchase plain white plastic number plates and made a hole in that to fit the voltmeter. Voltmeter is Veetree product and I paid Rs.300/- for the same. My auto electrician told me that this is better than Ammeter and to fix the Ammeter a separate wire has to be taken from battery to alternator through the ammeter and sometimes ammeter gives the problem and charging will not be satisfactory. It shows constant 13volts charging and gives fairly good idea about the alternator/battery/load condition. Photo was taken with engine switched off.

Hi,
My neighborhood car accessory shop had beautiful "Broadway" anti-glare rear view mirror and I purchased it for Rs.300-00. Absolutely no glare while driving in the night. (rear glass is bare now due to supreme court order...!)

Super finishing !! How much did this volt meter cost.

You could have got the black plastic sheet it would look killer !!
So how many volts is it displaying when the car is idle without any load ?
Also whats the voltage after putting on all the load..

Nice mirror too, but doesn't it touch the sun binds ?

Wow! Superb finishing for the Voltmeter. Thanks for the night picture. Pretty good lighting, a must for night driving. I have seen that Electronic Antenna in cabs (indica)near my home, Not sure how good it is
