Tuning options for Sierra

[Tony Greig]

I am a proud owner of a Tata Sierra. The vehicle gives me a mileage of 15kmpl on the highway at an average speed of 70kmph with the A/C on. I have touched a max speed of 120kmph. I read about Pete's Tuning box. Where can I buy it for my Sierra? What will be the total cost involved in installing the unit in my vehicle? Also, at night, the speedometer dials are not very easy to read owing to the poor backlight. Can another car's dials be retro-fitted on to the Sierra? Also, can I get good quality Xenon bulbs? I also wanted to know which tyres would suit my car best.

Pete's Tuning does not have a box for the Sierra since it does not come with a ECU. However what you can do is to go to Race Dynamics who can build a chipped ECU specifically lor your car. You can visit their website lor more detaifs. Since this will be a custom job, it could be expensive, though. You can retro-lit a new set of dials for which you will need to scour altermarket accessories dealers, for instance someone like Four Seasons Auto. You can also get good quality xenon headlamps from the same place. As lor tyres, the new MRF Wanderer is an economical and good choice of tyre for the Sierra while lor higher performance you can look at Michelins.
