Description:A 1997 Suzuki Alto or a Maruti Suzuki Zen (4 door) as it is called in India.
Specs:1300cc Suzuki GT13B Engine 4 Cylinder, 8 Valve with ported inlets and exhaust. Bigger clutch and larger dimension carb. installed. A free-flow tuned race header. Ported inlet manifold. Stiffened Shocks and Springs, both front and back. 175/60 R 13 Bridgestone Potenza G3 Tyres on 13 inch BSA Racing Mags imported from Singapore. 100/90 Watt Hella all weather headlamps. 500 Hz Hella horns. Custom mesh grill. Custom interior with 2 tone colors. 88% Purple Tint.
Audio:Kenwood CD MP3 Receiver 2026 with a Blaupunkt Gta 450 amp, 2 4 inch 2 way front speakers, 2 rear 6x9 3 way speakers. A Blaupunkt gTB 1000 Tube Sub-woofer.
Security:Autocop Car Alarm System. Also usually park in safe areas locked.
Started using this car in 2002 with 31000 kms on the odo. Came stock and had a 1L engine then. Hardly and epenses on repairs. Done a few road trips. Very reliable except for the fuel pump. Now odo reads 70000. Used to race on street. But got bored with that. Now just go for long drives. Got all the work done myself. Handles exceptionally well with great braking as well. Running the gearboxfor 1L engine on this 1.3 works like a short ratio gearbox. Really good acceleration. Don't know how much it does as speedo shows only upto 160 and goes faster than that.
