Changed the Engine oil and Oil filter at 7k almost ODO. Used Hell Helix HX-7. Have been using it in previous cars. Engine is smooth as nothing

That is correct. The Phillips rally bulbs I have require twice the power of stock ones, hence I have relays and thicker wiring to help transfer the required power.

However, Osram Nightbreakers are being sold by a fellow pw member and their power needs are the same as of stock bulbs while claimed improvement is up to 90%. The bulbs are very popular and acclaimed worldwide.

It is not recommended since it will put excessive load on ur car wiring and subsequently the assembly (behind the steering). experts care to shed some light on that?

I don't find any difference between stock & Narva except for the smexy white light:)
Maybe I just don't know what to look for.

Well yeah I knew that the wattage is higher than recommended , I got the bulbs changed at Suzuki workshop and they didn't care to tell me that too lol.

This is kind of a temporary solution, going to Karachi next week, should be able to find someone who can make me retrofit lights using projectors:)
Anyone from Karachi know where I can buy a pair of used headlights for swifts? I don't want to ruin the stock ones.

Will be staying at malir cannt.

Eid mubarik everyone:D

Your discs need tooling.

Could be that or I think that the gap between disc and plate is too much- reason for vibration.

Best air filter for swift?
Stock filter seems to shed hair or whatever it is made of.

Driven 5200 km so far- was going to go for 2nd inspection but because of eid, they have taken a big holiday.

Is gear oil something that should be changed on correct interval or will changing it on 5,500 km do no harm ?

Planning to end my Lease for swift and get altis at. Or an imported car from Italy- it will be used for 1 year and then scrapped/ re- sold in Italy because I can use it for that limit without paying custom( tourist car :))

[s_ruhail]

Stock is the best. I've used almost everything out there and stock remains the best I've used.

When u press the brakes, the pads clench the discs the resistance and friction hamper the spinning of the wheel.
Over time, the brake pads wear out and do not necessarily maintain their shape. Most of us don't change brake pads regularly, its more of a "use till it dies" phenomenon.
These out of shape brake pads thus do not have proper contact with the disc, and they cause the disc to become uneven. This causes vibrations when u brake, because two uneven surfaces are making hard contact at a relatively high speed.

Due to this, it is a good idea to tool the discs when one gets new pads. Mind u, a lot of blokes will try using sandpaper on your discs to "tool" them, but I'd recommend the proper machine for this purpose. Most Suzuki dealerships have them.
When you next change pads, go for disc tooling and brake service also. The vibrations will vanish.
Its a minor issue tbh and nothing to worry about. Its just a nag.

I've finally managed to search for one for my city 09 model. It's the perfect fit in between the seats with plenty of space in it for some stuff. I'll post the pic in the morning.
