Thanks vijay.

Apart from that what is needed is xenon's front view.


From morning i am traveling about 70kms + to get a door hinges.

Is that so difficult to get a sumo hinge? Not even one is the dealer place.

Re: Project Tata Sierra

Re: Project Tata Sierra

Oh , cant wait to see the finished car! But i think wing door would have looked better than the normal doors!


Brings to memory my TATA Sierra , the car in which i learnt driving first!

Re: Project Tata Sierra

Thanks guys

First I just got this vehicle some 6months before - used it for a month or so and gave to Ilango.

Before that I did some engine refinement. Initially I planned to port a safari engine.

But considering the registration issues when we exchange the engine, I thought to something else.

Rebored the engine with little extra volume and paired that with safari head assembly.

Now my engine become almost equal power of safari but with same sierra engine.

Also changed few others parts like Air filter assembly, Free flow exhaust - to sync up for increase in volume.

Thinking of some other performance improvements if somebody suggest :)
