Avi,

Damping is done to reduce ambient road noise and your vehicle's "rattles," for better sound inside your car. You must have noticed in cars with heavy ICE. The rear view mirror vibrates, door rattling etc etc. This kind of stuffs will be avoided.


What material is used for damping? Where are they fixed? How much will it cost?



You can live in your car, but you can't drive your house.

I would say stick to 14''. You get lots of choices here if you look in 6J.
If you have not yet selected the designs you may also look for HR, Aura collections.

There is no need to change all 5-changing the 4 will be enough and you can save about 4K in the process. Reason why I am saying so is because you would be putting tubeless tyres.

Please look at the first 3 pages of this post as you will see couple of points to look in about the alloys and tires.

Ideal size for new tyre is 185/70/R14. You can expect a price of 3500-4000 for a tyre.

@Binoy: Please tell him about the tyre brands as I am lil outdated on that regard.

Savio,

BTW hearty welcome to CarWale Forum.
The drop in fuel efficiency due to alloys will be hardly noticed.

Same for spoilers and skirts provided you dont put extravagant ones which would affect the airflow and aerodynamics.

I am selecting the budget as 15k.

HU: Pioneer 6050 UB. - 8k
Front: JBL GTO 607/8 C - 4k
Rear: JBL GTO 637/638 - 2k

Put good cables. All these speakers would go into the speaker slots on the door. If you wish to have more bass and output put JBL GTO 937/938. These are oval speakers which would have to go on a plank/parcel tray behind the rear seat. The cost of this speaker would be 3k.

Adding a 4 channel amplifier as an upgrade later on can be adviced.

Queries and comments are welcome.

185/70/R14 for this i got.
yokohama is available for 3030
bridgestone for 3425
mrf for 3300
jk for 3200

which is better in terms of quality riding?
so ur sure that if i put spoilers, skirts and alloys the mileage drop is only 1 or 2 kmpl

 

post 2 (08:51 PM)

one more thing what about Led lights at the behind and white lights at the front?
which lights are better xenon or HID?

 

 

post 3 (09:00 PM)

what is the use of
Reverse Parking Sensor?
what is use of
amplifier?

Savio-quite a lot of questions there-this thread has been created by Ameen when he was in a similar situation as you are in right now.

All your queries are answered in this very thread-though long its would be nice if you could go through it from the beginning.

About the tyre's there are several sub brands-like A-drives and S-drive for Yokohama-please mention those to make a good judgment.
