Hello friends ,

Last day I installed tokoyama lip to my Phoenix just an add on as I had done that on my previous cars , celerio and Civic . Advantage is it will avoid scraping of bumper in low pavements and gives the car a low stance . Hope pics would tell rest of the story .
Happy motoring

Hello friends ,
It’s been a while since I have updated on my Phoenix . It has crossed 8k on its odo in 5 months . Added a new accessory - Laser shades to make occupants inside safe from the sun . These shades are magnetic ones. Can be removed with ease so won’t be any hassle with rto in our country . Attaching pics of the same

Hello friends ,
My Phoenix has just crossed 9k kms on its odo nearing for its 3rd free service . Have ordered the engine insulation which is their in Honda city diesel . Hope it might reduce the engine noise which to me is annoying as I had not been used to these sound in my civic . Did a car wash today by myself attaching a pic after the wash .

Did oil change and filter change along with pollen filter and air filter cleaning , top up of other fluids. Customery 3 M polish . Total damage on pocket 1800 for the Service and 800 more for the hood insulator attaching pics

Hello fellas ,
My Phoenix has crossed 11k km on its odo , now what I have noticed is that it climbs 80kmph @1300-1500rpm and with in limits below 1500rpm the average has improved like anything and when above 1500 with sudden push on throttle it gains a faster momentum than above 2k rpm . That’s what I have felt. Will keep you guys updated .

Hello fellas ,
After completing more than 11k on its odo my Phoenix went in for customary wheel alignment and rotation . Mean while changed the air filter to K&N Stock airfilter . After riding almost 40 kms with the new filter changes noticed change in idle rpm reduced from 1000 rpm to 900 rpm , climbing slopes is a breeze , even at 2k
Rpm odo shows more than 70kmph in low gear . Pick up has increased slightly . Feels really confident after the update .
