How much wud be d increase in power(in BHP) after having fitted the two things mentioned above?
Where wud i get d air filters and free flow exhausts?N for wat cost?
I also want to know where n for how much i'd get ultra low profile mag wheels n tires,n wat is d maximum size of rim tat can be fitted in my car.. ?
N i want to change d bumpers n add side skirts and spoiler to d car to lower its stance,where r they available n for wat cost? Even body claddings tat are attached on d existing bumpers would do,where can i buy them from,n at wat cost?

Hi Sid,

Changing your car's engine is not possible and even if it was, it would be a useless investment. You can get the K&N filter in your car, visits www.knfilters.com. , model and price of the filter compatible for your car will be available there. Increase in BHP will be just around 2 bhp.

Alto can accomodate not more than 13" rims and you can get the low profile tyres fitted with them. A set of 5 rims of good quality starts from Rs12,000 and a single tyre of good quality starts from Rs1600.

Its better not to get the whole bumper changed, skirting can be fitted on both bumpers and sides. It costs as low as Rs600 depending on your choice for 1 piece + fitting charges + cost of painting it. These are available at the car accessory shops.

Besides providing excellent filtration, it helps in increasing horsepower & acceleration.
