Tata Sierra Ownership Review

[Astralbliss]

@Incarnation
Looks great with those alloys. Nice tires, goes well with everything. For the bumpers, you can use dashboard polish to retain its shine, during rains it wont stay much longer that's all. Body looks good. It may have a few scratches or dents here and there, that is common for an old car.
For tires, use some pepsi or coke on the sidewalls. But make sure you don't let it stick on the alloys. It will look like you just brought them.

That huge glass area, one of the most striking design elements of the Sierra. I saw a few mods where they ruin it. Some make doors, butterfly ones to the extreme. That kills it all. Some change grilles, Toyota or Range Rover logos. Rear tail-lamps from Scorpio. I think it spoils the whole image.

Very few Sierras in Mangalore. Don't get to see a lot of them these days.

peace

i was one among those guys who wanted the butterfly doors so that ingress and egress to the rear seat can be easy. but then got some sense in me and planned to keep it stock. like the ranveer kapoor Ad which says keep it simple silly. so that what i have done. left it stock. but after the addition of mags and broad tyres. there are a lot of people who have complemented me for the neatly kept vehicle.
one issue though is as its rainy season now and the tyres are broad and come out of the body by an inch. the dirt gets splashed al over the vehicle. I love the sight of dirt being splashed however dont enjoy cleaning it.

a few pics of Bumblebee before and after the upgradation to alloys.








Bumblebee after upgradation

its looking cool after the upgrade. the braking is improved by many folds the road grip and road presence have by far increased. 2nd glance guaranteed..
may be after the rainy season it will undergo restoration.( painting and tinkering only)

Incarnation, I think you should join a Facebook group called "Club Sierra Official". It's a gang of Sierra owners off-roading, rallying etc. It would be helpful for you to maintain your vehicle ..

Sierra is my still favourite car from childhood. Four years back before buying swift I searched for Sierra's but could not find it in my locality. I have seen an ad in olx from Kerala I think and really tempted to buy. See below pics..












But I questioned myself after all travelling from Andhra to Kerala if the vehicle is not satisfactory I will be left with disappointment. So dropped from acquiring much details.
@incarnation: congratulations for owning your dream and many miles to go on your Bee(Sierra).

@ Markiv, Im already a member in club sierra.however i couldn't make it to any of their rides or their drive recently on 26th of November to Pune TATA Motors to give a memorandum to TATA to provide spares for TATA Sierra as it collided with the rider mania dates and couldn't do 2 trips far off in one month. OFF issues as well as Budget issues.

@mikemk91 , Thanks Bud for your wishes

Today Bumblebee had to be admitted in the hospital( Garage). the Fan belt snapped while i was dropping my wife to work. have given him for a complete check up, after the addition of ATOM, Bumblebee is taken a back seat. All family members are busy in their work and there is no outing that has happened. also whatever outing that has happened is only solo( Me ) so was happy riding with Atom, Need to Devote time towards Bumblebee as well.

Hi All,

That's my Sierra after and before rebuild.

Comments please?

Thanks

Hi there, wonderful vehicle you have got there,

I believe you have added rear headrest, front fender indicators, Seat cushion why not wheel caps. pls add wheel caps that would definitely enhance the look. The beast is looking awesome in the urban jungle background.

 

[boon3232]

The rear seat is lifted from Scorpio third row. Fender indicators are of victa's. I changed rims to new rims later and I felt it looks better without caps.

I was just wondering, where have all the Sierra Turbo's gone!

 

[incarnation]

Sierra turbos have this Turbo leak all the time, it wasn't the best of turbo as per my knowledge. NA Sierra is easier to maintian than the turbo's. Correct me if i am wrong.

Last week had been to one of friends marriage reception in a remote village. the Ride was Fantastic as its always been on "Bumblebee" My daughter enjoyed the ride the most.Managed to click some pics.









it was a memorable day so much fun we had. i Sometimes thought of parting ways with "bee" due to compulsion of elders in the family, i considered it informed my friends about it and then one of my friends even came forward to take it from me. felt very sad as if i was losing some part of mine, hence decided to keep it.

Hi Incarnation,

Does your Sierra have AC?
