sarabjeet 3 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 let me start had 3-5 zen over a period of 10 years. 3 petrol including 1 AT and 2 zen diesel. I loved the diesel more than the petrol because to be honest diesel was the only one i drove, tried the AT but autos would eventually overtake me. No one likes a auto honking at you do they ? the only mod done to zen D was a customized free-low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arun1987c 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 @ sarabjeet - I never knew that zen came with AT option... And the initial diesel model of zen were not successful rite. Once the facelift was done, a new engine was installed and that model was running well. Is the diesel zens available in used car market now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arun1987c 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 As im planning to buy a zen and make some mods to it. Can zen owners give a approximate budget for the listed mods Alloys (13") and rubber Mufler (end can) Air filter Steering wheel And also suggest some best brand options for these mods.

creativebala 178 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 @Arun, Instead of buying a zen( luck has to favour you to get a decent one), spending on it, you can easily buy a decent Lancer at the same cost and show off even better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arun1987c 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 @creativebala, I cannot invest more than 1.5 lakhs for the car now. So do you think i can get a decent lancer within the budget available Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sb-alto 21 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Better stay away from old Lancers. They are trouble makers and service/spares are not good either. You will get good zen at that price. Or can get esteems. That is also a good car to tweak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rssh 59 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 If by Zen you mean the older one with Jelly bean headlight then count me in as a fan! I had owned this car untill last year . The car is very sporty and somehow its engine had the peppiness that the smaller hatchbacks still lack the 997cc engine was fugral but you always smile when pushing it to the limit . A 13'' alloys for a set of 5 will cost from 13-16k . The best mod is to stiffen up the rear suspension as it gets too bouncy at higher speeds . A good muffler end cap will cost 2k ,but its better you go for a free flow (exhaust job) for 10k you will have great performance . As for air filter there are many bands which have CAI as well as stock replacement filter for Zen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creativebala 178 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 Nice modded car, What all you have added to this car? Why did you sell it sarab? This should have been a very good car for city rides isn't it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarabjeet 3 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 body kit along with customized free flow apart from music system. I sold the car around 6-7 years ago. Had it for 3 years and did almost 80K kms on it. It was getting old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_nishu 198 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 That's really a Nicely modded car & looks good for a Zen too. But as you've sold this car 6-7 years back, so might haven't got the chance to drive it then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
