Yes, I don't plan to install CNG in near future.

Previous owner had removed CNG, but didn't revert the changes. During tuning, mechanic advised me to remove the plate welded in air intake during cng installation.

So it started doing 8Km/L.

went to another mechanic, he told me that petrol setting was way too rich. He's reduced the petrol. Still no impact on pick, as it's super-charged. But i'm feeling consumption is improving. Will update you on this once my current tank is exausted. (May take more than one month with 40-50Km per week mileage:))

In manuals i found that this one does 19Km/l in city and 25Km long route with 60Kph in 4th gear

Guys I'm unable to find these things i desperately need:

Front and rear bumpers
Front grill (Mine is broken, gives so ugly look)
Original side mirrors

What about the small mirrors near the head lights? I've noticed in the above pics that none has those mirrors. Mine has those, and at times i just think of getting rid of them!!!

^^ u might have to get custom made front & rear bumpers, but if u find those from any used parts market then u will be lucky.. side mirrors of 84-86 sunny would fit & they look nice too, dont go for rounded shaped metal side mirrors, many people put those but they really dont suit on G10s.

the mirrors on the fenders was a popular trend in late 70s/ early 80s.. people even loved to have 4 side mirrors but it doesnt make much sense to add those now.. u can remove them

Can I share my Charade G210 1997? (facelift Of G200)

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-04-03 18:15:58 +0500 #145

The middle number is for the number of wheels how transfer power, a G210 is fittet with the smaller engine (the 3th number) but with 4 wheel drive (4WD). If it was a G211 this is fittet with the 1.5l engine with 4WD a G201 is a 1.5l engine with 2WD. The G200 is the one with the 1.3l engine (in some countries they bring also the 993ccm CB23 engine).

^good to see you back after a long time

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-04-03 18:22:34 +0500 #147

You can use also the bumpers from the Fiat Uno...

Thank you, I am also happy to be back here

@Rainer

Welcome back bro.

And about Uno bumpers......... well...... finding these is probably 1000 times more difficult than finding a G10 bumper in pk

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-04-05 18:37:58 +0500 #150

Hey Thanks a lot

I am sorry, that about the Uno Bumper I got from the Argentina G10 Forum. I search for about 2 years for a new rear bumper.

Maybe I can help you to get it, but parts from here are maybe very expansiv for you (shipping costs). Should I search for you for this parts here in europe? I know one G10 collector from Germany he should have what you need if you want.

Thanks a lot bro. But i'm afraid it may cost me almost half the price of the car if i import it from outside Pakistan:P

I've got steel bumpers and everyone suggested to keep them. Front bumper seems a bit awkward due to small dent. Once i fix it, i think it should look fine.

Attaching a pic from the front. The car doesn't look as bad as it may seem in this pic:D

UsmanAnsari (UsmanAnsari) 2010-04-06 02:37:17 +0500 #152

bumper isn't that bad, its the radiator grill which is demanding a change also my suggestion would be to remove those side mirrors from the fenders as u wont really need 4 of them while driving getting the headlamps aligned would also help a lot! overall the car is much much better than those G10s running on our roads today (y)

UNO bumper easily available in pindi , Aziz Autos, Bilal Autos and Raja Autos. Price for brand new is around 3500

I got one from lahore back in 2006 because it was cheaper compared to pindi.

Really??? I thought finding any part of a car that has "Resale....Resale" issues in pk may not be easy.

Nice info. Thanks bro.

Finding a grill ....

I'm gonna paint it black after repairing it. That would hopefully improve things.

Removed fender side mirrors, then reinstalled. Will remove them again after getting silver side mirrors.

And yes, its performance is too good. I would keep it InshaAllah, even if i get another vehicle.

UsmanAnsari (UsmanAnsari) 2010-04-06 03:36:29 +0500 #156

u can get the grill fixed with 'magic depoxi'.. im afraid u wont be able to find the grill easily

UsmanAnsari (UsmanAnsari) 2010-04-06 08:34:53 +0500 #157

this is a good one for sale, @Rainer have a look:

@IsbCap
you can make its grill from Ahata Mitho Khan, Shahid Autos is the name I think. I know a classic lover who made front & rear bumpers and head & tail lights + grill etc from Saddar and Cha Sultan. There're some people who do this job in I-9, G-7 but Pindi is cheaper. spend a little more and get your car a better look, if you want to keep it for long time.

@Usman
The car is really nice, well mantained & in original condition. May seems overpriced but remember here in Pindi, people are selling Suzuki FX in 135-220k range!

@Rainer
EU have very strict policies for CO2 emission and energy efficiancy, how do the govt allow 80's vehicles on road?

sam007 (sam007) 2010-04-17 10:07:35 +0500 #159

indeed a nice car. My uncle had the G10, while we had the G11!!

Rainer (Rainer) 2010-04-18 08:15:15 +0500 #160

Looks great, it is a absolute rare G10 with a very beautiful interior!!
But for me, the steering wheel is on the wrong side

Thats not so strict, old cars without catalytic converters have the following limits: (all at engine idle at about 950 RPM)

CO Vol. 2 to 3 %
HC up to 660 ppm (unburned fuel particles per minute)

Thats all the about the emission output limits here for old cars...

Are those watches around the ash tray are available?
I see that you have here very good looking water cooler tubes, where can you get it?

The original one are not more available (and the would be only as texture rounded tubes, so they are not the best). From what car the fit or come from?

What do you think is it hard for me to get some such tubes or such a watch from PK? Here are all those parts are not availabel and if you driving with a G10 to any Daihatsu dealer they all from the office comes out to look at your car, they don't see any G10 since more then 15 years ago. (so mean nobody have a good knowledgement of the G10 here )
