December 9, 201015 yr comment_487302 Hello every one..... i am a new member and u guys can see my ride in the members gallery area. previously this ride was being used by my elders but now its in my custody and wants to replace the engine as the stock engine is wearing out and is now consuming engine oil (1 liter to 2500 KM's) please advice me about the engine, keeping in mind that the car is totally in the stock condition, stock gear box (4 forward), stock differential and stock seats and body parts.... please also keep in mind that i am living in pakistan so i can buy an old motor (slightly used) easily rather then a new motor... please also advise me about the differentials, brakes and gear box...
