  1. Has anyone sourced Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs here in SL?

      Nice. My Vios was fitted with the Nightbreaker Plus series bulbs, and they performed flawlessly for 4 years. I'm hoping the Unlimited series is just as good, since they're apparently the revamped Plus series.

      They say the nightbreaker bulbs dont last long, im surprised it was fine for 4 years :o

      The fogs were Nightbreakers as well, and they lasted just as long.

  2. ado ehema ba ban. We need a rule where the one who posted last cannot answer the next question. else some people will never get a chance to answer :/ But yes you're right.
  3. Do the rear seats of the Maruti 800 fold flat? Need to buy a hatchback with folding rear seats, budget 1 million even.

  4. Landrover Lightweight, or whatever it's called.
  5. There are a few Stageas being used as hearses, I've seen them parked at the big garage at Madiwela. I wonder how many of them are Turbos.
  6. Are you serious? Stop badgering the OP.
  7. So the Corolla Hybrid did 650kms on a tank of fuel, and I think there's enough for for the office journey as well. Certified Thel Higana :D

      it has eCVT. There's no gearbox, just a reduction drive from the engine/motor combo.

      @matroska oh the wit. you must not know me very well :)

  8. The remaining distance display in mine just went blank, all the bars from the fuel gauge dropped and the low fuel light came on. I filled up 32 litres, which means theres approximately 4 litres left when the low fuel indicator comes on. Also the remaining distance indicator is far from accurate.
  9. Make sure your mud flaps also cover the width of the wheels. it's the people behind you who suffer.
  10. Saw an Overfinch today, red with CAI plates with Frontier lettering. Can't help but feel it was just Overfinch bits and bobs attached to an otherwise regular RR Vogue.

  11. That's how the stuff works. You'll get an odd sound from the brakes for a day or so while the treatment does its thing.
  12. I used to see one of these every so often, parked at MDS in Rathmalana.
  13. There's no way to discern a 740 from a 760 aside from the emblem, apart from the fact that it's a USDM pre 1990 model. The alloys were options on both models.
  14. The Corolla Hybrid's suspension is so plush compared to the Vios, it almost wafts. But then. most any other car is plusher when compared with the Vios. It's only now I've begun to really appreciate just how good the suspension on the Vios was. No diving under heavy, very little body roll, and the suspension really came into it's own at high speeds. The Corolla, while only a 100kgs heavier, feels almost like an SUV. However, the electric steering is surprisingly quick.

      electric steering do very responsiveness. only fingers can be used :)

  15. That still only happens with speed. If you drive slow enough, even bald tires will displace water. It's all about time vs displacement.
  16. Nice review. IMO, the leaf is a fantastic car for what it does, I'm srsly considering getting one next year, if prices remain more or less the same.
  17. Wow, such misinformation, much bullshit. Do you know what Hydroplaning is? It's the phenomenon of the tire riding _on_ the water that is standing on the road surface rather than through it. This happens when the speed of the car exceeds the tires' capability to displace water around the contact patch. It will happen regardless of whether cruise control is used or not, if the vehicle is moving fast enough.
  18. Didn't even know this existed. I was happy when I figured out how to operate the radio.
  19. The Maruto Alto is based on the Japanese Kei car of the same name, and has been ever since its inception, thus it is more or less a Kei car minus the K6A engine.
  20. Looks like a Honda Odyssey.
  21. There's a video floating around where they removed the sump of a car after adding this stuff and it ran without any oil basically. But who knows.
  22. 5.2km/l Those are V6 Montero figures right there. Whonsays the Corolla Hybrid doesn't perform.

      Nah I was just being sarcastic. I love all the bits'n'bobbles; rear wiper, all auto windows, 'multipunsun stering well', touching the door handle to lock and unlock (not even permit euros have this), remote opening boot (major win that), etc.

      Ane palayan ban. You're still being sarcastic. I know you don't give a damn about those options.

      :3 Like I said, this car was forced upon me. I want to go back to the Vios.

  23. If you can find a 240 in good condition, I'd suggest that. It's got all the little things that make life easier.
  24. You can have the one in my new car. Reverse cameras are utterly fkn USELESS. Give me wing mirrors and rear sonar any day of the week.
