Hola

machang what was the mileage of this?

machang regarding this, even a new car would have this and even i had. The gap between the rear bumper and the body was not nicely even on the sides. For me the agents did the magic by removing the buffer and balancing it, but im sure the normal garage people are capable for this. And yes when you do the tinkering part you can do it and its better too

Happy Birthday and May God Bless you brother!

Arent we suppose to put the van up in AL classifieds soon? Anyway a printed tyre for 7500 is worth. Is this a special deal ?

15,000? Bro ist it just 5k?

no probs bro, always glad to help. Just remove the panel and bring it over and i will help to the fullest

got that right!

Machang, there is a model called Mazda MR 90(the model is called Mazda Mister I guess) which goes for around 5-6laks with AC & PS. I think that car was a malaysian assembled car. There is one in AL classifieds too

Mine was custom made at Elfarto with close supervison by Porkster (da man!!). Mine was custom made

mine wasnt a sensor issue this time bro, it was just a dust built up on the wheels of the ODI meter (mine is not digital)

Hey you know? except for few talented dudes some fail to make the false impression. Some do a good paint and try to pretend its original paint by forgets to erase of the paint leftover sprays on the tyre or the door handle. I think when you are trying to fool the buyer its always better to be attention to detail

Hi Nim, The reason why we went for a mini K&N for it rather than driling a hole on the CAI is one was to make the job neat. I thought of draging this more near to thehead lamp area with a custom braket. I think i give alot of air for the engine even now though

Hi Shaz, Welcome to AL and congrats and good luck on your new wheels!!! With regards to the speedometer i can help you with a recent experience i had. I got a Civic EK3 and the speedometer and the milege sudenly stoped working. Went to an expert who sells vehicles over here in Negombo and he had a good look at it but gave up. Went to several guys and they simply told me to replace it with a recon which is 8000 and Honda agents said i need to replace the whole panel for 38k. So what i did was that i slowly took out the speedometer panel out, took the gauge out and went to a watch repair man. Told him to strip the meter and dust the tiny wheels whilst oiling little by little. Now why i went to one of them is because they are known for their patience and talent to mingle around tiny parts. And so we did it. I have to mention that i had to take the speedometer motor out and solder it once agin. And then with lot of hopes i fixed it back again. And ladies and gentleman it worked!!! Took around 4hours machang. For just 800 bucks, he actulay asked 500 and for the joy i gave out another 300 more later when i went to say thank you to him later in the day. So thats my story on the speedometer. Bro, if you need help just mail me on please and i will help you too

No bro, mine is not a VTEC. Just a plain LEV version with CVT gearbox. Machang, the argument is that the CAI goes straight to the throtle and that matters most. Thats why the colder the air for it gives better preformance. And i saw your comment on flooded roads, trust me mine is fine (touch wood)I survived the Negombo Seeduwa flood few months back (phew). Anyway thats fine. But you know there is a line from a CAI or a stock air filter box going to the engine tapet area. (there is a name for that line, not sure). And in mine i have just fixed a K&N small filter to it rather than making a hole in the CAI and drawing a air line to it. So since its just near the engine bay i have noticed it get dirty soon and its hot. 1/.Some say that air which goes to the tapet needs to be hot,whats your thoughts on that nim? 2/.Do you think it should be drawn further to a cooler area of the engine bay? See nim, here is what im talking about. See that a hole is made on the CAI and a line drwan out for the tapet area?

When you take vans, Hiace Petrol is now 2.3mil (DX) to 2.8mil which is a super GL Caravan Petrol is now 2.2 to 2.6mil And above will be without full seats. Some years back the diesels went at max 1.5mil. And look at the Allions, those came in at 2.6mil and now it starts from 3.3mil for a white X grade version. And a Corolla now goes above 2.8mil. But somewhere, some place there could be an incerdible pricing of all these. You got a point. The domestic markets are not doing good at all. Tourism is down. And very soon we will see locals fillling up the hotels due to crazy weekend packages the hotel guys will offer. And petrol prices are going up, even in the papers they say it might go up further. But you are right,despite all the issues still the cars keep on selling..

Nim, Thanks alot for your support machang! I got a CAI in my Civic and i fixed a smaller K&N to the inatke postioned at the tapet. Do you think i should drag it further to somewhere in the engine bay where its cooler? Some say that that little intake requires hot air? What are your thoughts on this?

Hi Bro! Few years back we bought a unreg Nissan Sunny Fb14 FE version for 6. But those were the good ol days Also since its your first car , it also matters what you are looking at. Whther it is fuel efficency or a rare user How about these? Trad Sunny? A Maruti? A Micro (dont know if the 1st version of the range is still available) Might find a Civic GC model, but te condtion would not that good for that range

But despite the milege just look into very simple things like the steering wheel - see if its shaded off, look at the pedals - see if those are worn off, then have a closer look at the rubber beadings to see ifs its burnt etc. Becuase some cars could have a 50,000km on the clock but all of these showing that its used 150,000kms

Thanks Nim, Thank you very much for the advice.... So as a summery i dont have to reset the ECU after the work done today and thats it self is a releif plus knowing that 15-30mins resets the ECU is a good deal too, i thought these should be left overnight.. Thanks Nim,NexGen Maybe it was happening for a long time, I just asked everyone's opinion on it and anyone's experience. Anyway Nim was so descriptive and helpfull. Thank you Nims again

Derrick, We could always see if we can get together with NGOs like Lions etc for this task. Im sure they would love to partnership in a campaign

Thanks Nim.. Just finished cleaning the injectors (done by a small home made gadget powered by the car battery-made by a friend), changed the plugs, got the abro spray and cleaned the throtle, serviced the K&N cone filter (air cleaner done overnight for drying). Had to take of the valve cover and put in grey silicon as there was a bit of a greasy stuff coming out. It was good fun in a way. The pickup feels good now. Bro, question is 1/.Should the ECU be reset after the above? 2/.If yes, since i dont have the corect tools for it wil it work if I disconect the battery overnight?

Thats funny, both hatch and tghe sedan going at same price???

Sorry, long story short is "Has anyone tried DIY tuning with all the necesery equipment?"

nah i wasnt discouraging him Madz...I just said its a huge task. It will be a good deal if we can promot this. How about some simple RSS feeds over good driving practice and stuff on bottom of forum end page?
