Re: My Modified Maruti 800.
Hi Keith, here I am not increasing the height of the car / suspension. I am just equalizing the height of the coils and the shocks.
I shall put up a image in reference to the above.
Thanks Vaibhav, I use collinite845 for polishing my car. I have used Waggy's shocks so that the suspension gets stiffer and gives me better handling.

This is my firat post
I must state that I Love my Maruti 800 more than myself. Infact once I was on the verge of getting my fingers chopped to save a scratch on my car so you can understand how crazily I love my car
And your DIY are awesome. So you can guess my respect for you. I've joined TAI just to be able to be in contact with you, and nothing else.
Sir I couldn't find links to some of your DIYs
1 . tachometer installation
2. Changing inside light of the speedometer console.
thanks
And btw, here's my 210000kms done March 2000 make m800
The maintenance of the car is a testimony to my love towards it.

Hi Welcome to TAI, your car looks neat. Did you overhaul the engine ? 210,000 kms is great !

Re: My Modified Maruti 800.
Hi Varun
Its a nice ride you have maintained out there.
I am planning a few upgrades for my car, Maruti 800 Std (2004), 1 lac+ kms done. I guess you could be some help.
1. Upgrading Tyre size: Currently using Stocks 145/70/12, what could be the best upgrade with the same Rim Size R12 ?
and does it has any effect on the Speed and Odo indications ?
2. Tachometer: A tachometer from the Maruti Ritz or the Maruti A Star, is it possible, and the procedure required ?
3. Fog Lamps: As far as my knowledge updates me, MSIL is using the same Fog Lamps on all its cars, ranging from Alto to the SX4 with only the Fog Lamp's plastic body different according to the car. So, how about getting a pair of MGP Fog Lamps and installing them on the Front Grill ?
Your recommendation will be greatly admired.
Thanks and Regards
Abhishek Aggarwal

Re: My Modified Maruti 800.
Sir,I'm having difficulty in opening the Console. Can you please put up a step by step guide of just opening the Console??A single photo of dash with markings of screws and their order will do. Please Sir.
Secondly,I'm willing to install only A-star Tacho,and not aftermarket ones....I've seen it did blow up once for you.How is it now?? Where did you find the RPM signal??Is there a brown wire found for the RPM as told by Senior Memer Deville in His estilo thread??

Re: My Modified Maruti 800.
I will try to upload them, you can find many pics in my thread of the speedo console removed please check.
In 800 there is no RPM signal, you have to connect it to Ignition coil. I have posted the pic's on my DIY (RPM) thread.

as far as i know, there is no MGP fog lamp coming for 800 and fog lamp for each model/version for car is different. Not only the grill but size/interior and for some model bulb(Swift) also differ. MGP foG lamp price starts from Rs.300 to Rs.1500 for one piece.
