  1. Not to knock the McLaren, but somehow it just looks like "another supercar" to me. I suppose it might be because when the F1 came out, there was nothing else like it. But honestly, it looks like a new Lotus.

    When was the last time you changed the transmission fluid?
  3. One of the door jamb switches must not have been reconnected when the interior was put back together. Should be a straightforward fix.
  4. Maybe you've got worn bushes? I know my van suffered heavily when I took a few C roads to work regularly, front end bushes were changed regularly. Your friend must've been the figurative straw what broke the camel's back.
  5. Lolz. I weigh ~110kg, and my car hardly registers the weight. Exactly how fast did you go on these bad roads?
  6. The Nissan Micra has the same grill, a quick search through Google images will prove it.
  7. A load in the rear will cause the rear to settle lower (unless the CE110 comes with auto-leveling suspension which I doubt), thus in that state the wheel geometry might change enough to cause the car to pull to one side.
  8. Yes significantly worn shocks could create the same behavior although TBH I have not experienced it first hand.
  9. Looks like you have a rear end alignment problem. Check the caster on your rear wheels, as compensating for incorrect caster through toe angle will cause the wheel to change its toe angle during suspension articulation. This is commonly known as bump steer.
  10. Dude, Judgement Day already happened, on April 21st of last year
  11. I just live and let live. It's much easier on my ulcers and blood pressure. Listening to Mike Oldfield during traffic helps a lot.
  12. If it is just transfer of paint on the surface, it can be removed with liberal application of surgical spirit and a soft rag. Make sure not to press too hard.
  13. Brace yourself for the Wikipedia blackout, and avoid making bets you can't prove.

      the official workarounds given by wikipedia to access the site during the outage are to turn off javascript in your pc browser or access the site through a smartphone.

  14. So if some people say the 1000cc is better, it stands to reason the others say the 1300cc is better. So there's a 50/50 chance that you're making the right choice with either model. You have nothing to lose.
  15. The number of cylinders have no correlation on the wear and tear of an engine. Don't post such nonsense.
  16. How about the Starlet KP60/61? Or Charade G10?
  17. I've driven a certain white WRX here in SL, and the clutch on it was pretty stiff too, in fact very much like our Townace, and thus I had no trouble driving the car. Usually I have all sorts of issues with clutch balance on petrol manuals.
  18. you're showing off that you can do 160km/h while a warning light is lit?
  19. Looks like an after market affair attached in front of the existing opening since the grill is actually part of the hood and you can see the outline underneath. And also I R SO GLAD U SED 'GRILL' INSTED OF 'CELL'/'SHELL'!!111
  20. Robots never fail, they're governed by the Three Laws. Don't you know anything?
  21. @jami Your stereotyping is typical of the stereotype you represent i.e. holier than thou blaming everyone else for the state of affairs in the country while lifting nary a finger to do something about it other than make ridiculous accusations against perfectly rational people on online forums. Why don't you take a minute to ponder on how YOU contribute to whats all wrong with this country's society, or do you live in a quantum universe where such things do not apply? And FYI, I and everyone I'm familiar with dispose of our trash in a responsible manner. In fact, my family takes the extra step of separating plastic paper and glass and dropping them off at the recycling point at our own cost. Plus we maintain our own compost bin, you're welcome to come over and take a whiff sometime.
  22. Mic for the integrated bluetooth phone connectivity. I got one with the Pioneer HU I purchased recently.
  23. For you Jami, me doing 130 last week. PM for details.
