ROFLMAO... a great idea indeed let me know if you want to go for a retro look...cause i think me dad still has his old racing suit from the 60's complete with the helmet and them huge goggles

i say,those are damn good pics for a phone cam...what phone did you use machan.....surely not the 6600 i saw you carrying

the first time it needed about three mega bottles of water....... yes left with a full radiator and checked at regular intervals until i reached kandy....after that it was straight home yeah machan i use coolant always.....i added another two after the first incident...so i think about 50% was coolant the other 50 water i'm going to check the sensor first like mani said....then i'm going for a honda mechanic after finding what exactly the problem is for myself......cant afford to get ripped off from that so called honda expert again...

the temp guage was showing just below half throughout the journey machan....but i'm, worried about the half bottle of water too....i have checked so many times but i cant find any leaks......i had it inspected by a pro race car tuner as well before leaving....the only thing we noticed was the fan not working properly.....but with fan working properly where did the water vanish???....it's a puzzler

ok...i made it...i'm back on home turf...and damn it's HOT!..... nothing to report except i had to fill up the radiator with about half a coca-cola bottle(mega) of water after arriving a special thanks goes out to my brothers from the states(mani) and down under(gearhead)...thanks guys yes mani....the first time this happened the water was boiling so much the radiator was shaking so rapidly like it was havig a fit or something...so temp guage is not malfunctioning thanks again for the detailed response dude.....i think one of my buds(a mechanic) has that gadget...will test the sensor out with it before going to a repair garage no machan my journey couldn't have been made without the fan working...even when coming downhill

thanks mani,as always...... any idea of how to check the resistance on the sensor,cos i'd like to know exactly what's the problem before i go to garage,and avoid getting ripped off by installing unnessessary parts...you know how it is here

suicide doors on an aston?.....i sure hope not

yes...black tends to make a car look smaller,but then again on some cars it is not a bad thing...anyways you've got one tough decesion mate,them both are great colours... btw have you considered white with white alloys...should look great on a sud imho

thanks gearhead.....i'm cutting my holiday short and coming down tommorow with the hot wired fan...keeping my fingers crossed,dont wanna get stuck in the middle of nowhere(especially somewhere between n'eliya and pussellawwa)

yes machan...the ZX is among the top 5 fastest here but the R1 guys give it a good run for it's money...and i wear protection ,always(arm pads,knee pads and stuff)......but i think you and i both agree that i would look ridiculous in a rider costume.....so i ride on casual clothing besides i'm truly not a speed junkie...i just enjoy riding at normal speed...it is very rarely that i exceed even 150 been away for awhile machan...will get in touch soon

:sigh: yes....why do people keep reminding me that...time to sell i think btw i think "CRX" also comes in before the del sol part

ROFL..... anyways i thought it's a good nick name for us AL motorheads.....as most people look at us like aliens when we talk of cars all the time ...especially members of the fairer sex who fail to comprehend why i am obsessesed as to what people called "pericles","kotte mafia" etc etc,has to say

hi guys....i have a little problem the radiator fan on my del sol seem to only work only when the teperature of the engine goes beyond the "boiling" point...normally the fan starts to work when the temparature guage reaches about half... but now it doesnt start untill the guage is reading extreme heat,and well beyond the boiling point.... for now i have managed to connect a direct wire from the fuse box to the fan so that it works all the time...and so far things seem to be normal here are some of my concerns 1.what could be stopping the fan from working properly?.....is there a sensor type thingy that controls the fan? 2.is it ok if i come to colombo(from n'eliya) with the fan constantly working?....will it harm the engine? 3.some bloke said that the radiator cap might be the problem...is there any truth to this? thanks for reading...and looking forward to your reply's

hmm the fastest i have gone eh?.... i hit 240kmph on the zx10 last august...and i remeber nudging 230kmph on the thunderace...both times the bikes had a lot more to offer,but yours truly chickened out....both were on the puttlam road never been faster than 120kmph on a car though...cause i drive like an old granny when on four wheels

ouch!... aw c'mon man...look at the bright side...atleast it's not a civic LOL...i think he already knows about my zombie 1100.....was good enough to keep his feelings to himself

thanks dev! really ashamed of how me tc looks compared to these pristine examples

I wish all my fellow AL-iens a peaceful new year!

okay dudes...i gave this a go for about a week till the 13th...the first two days the progress was really slow as none of us had clear cut plan for it...but after that as the way became clear things started flowing smoothly...but anyways it'll be many more weekends of work before she will be complete...anyways thanks for all your input and advice...they really helped i took some pics...i'll upload them as soon as i get home as i forgot to bring the usb cable for my cam...

belated best wishes dilan.. ...... sorry for the lateness...was boycoting modern tecnology for whole two weeks...damn it's harder than i thought

WOAHHH!!!!!....the ricer in me is vigorously nodding it's head in approval oh no!....arrrrghhhhh!!!!....RICE ATTACK!!!....RICE ATTACK!!!! [ sorry ladies and gents...HelRazor will be temporarily out of action...normal service will commence shortly...toodles! ]

fair enough machang...and i agree with you totally...... as some of you know i have a mild case of RICE-itis in my blood and it acts up from time to time.....u should see what i did to a fiat 1100 when i had a severe RICE attack some years ago

righto...gaming party at my place it is...let me know when you can haul your asses down to kelaniya...should be fun to have the gang visit again no machan the ps2 controllers dont work on the ps3...it needs a dualshock 3 wireless or a sixxaxis controller

is it me or does it look exacly like the jag XF?

that's what i was worried of....i want this series to feature more cheap jap import giant killers and midnight street racing...if i wanted muscle car movies i'd watch somethin else... i heard she plays for both teams respekt! damn that guy is so talanted!....aiiiii

it was called the SSC ultimate aero i believe.....top gear talked it about it for a minute and humiliated it
