    I wonder if this law will include those stupid 'paan' vans as well. I lose a clear hour's sleep because of this one idiot that goes by my house at 5:30 in the morning.

    I've seen a white EK3 around Union Place/Slave Island years ago which had rear disc conversion. Car had aero mods but was one of the more graceful Civics out there. Was/Is that your Civic @komisiripala?

    If only the yellow sun gave us powers, we wouldn't need to bother with overtaking and lane changing at all :/

    A friend brought mine down, for around 25K (black Friday sale). Still haven't gotten around to installing it, the car is never in the garage long enough for me to take apart the dashboard trim AFAIK, there is no TV tuner peripheral, but there is a multi zone unit which allows independent front and rear video feeds, so when the vehicle is in gear, the front screen video is disabled can be streamed to the rear screen(s).

    I had a similar dilemma when I bought my car. An unavoidable pot hole created sidewall bubbles in both tires on the left side, but the clincher was that the previous owner had used different brands in the front and rear. Since I was broke at the time, my only choice was to buy a new pair of tires for the front, and use the one remaining good tire from each brand in the rear. I didn't go above 60 till I was able to replace the remaining two tires.

    Well that pretty much removes all Japanese sedans from the equation.

    There is nothing in traffic law that mandates drivers exercise extra caution around vehicles carrying sign reading "Baby on board". So moot point.

    Brilliant, hope you're happy with your purchase. It's a very good piece of kit, what you bought.

    Also check the gear selector bushes. When they are worn out, it can cause your vehicle to jump out of gear on it's own.

    I use Ulysse Speedometer on my Android. It's pretty fkn accurate, like within a few meters, and the speedo function is dead on. You can set an over speed alarm, and there's a HUD feature so that you can keep it on your dashboard at night and have the phone's screen reflect on to your windscreen.

    Only if your engine starts easier with preheating than not, and if there's a significant difference with and without. The more you crank, the more you wear you engine, because there's no oil circulation in the 2C engine till the engine catches.

    What about the air suspension? Can you swap in parts from a regular 109?
  15. terrabytetango
    I would get one and convert it to electric. Considering the car only has a 200cc engine, a 10hp electric setup would work very well, especially when coupled with a few hundred 18650 cells instead of Pb batteries to save weight.

    I doubt the government is going to spend on aircraft speed enforcers to monitor a 100km stretch of road.

    meh, we hide in plain sight under the guise of 'car enthusiast'.

    I make them for 100/-

    I always pre-heated our Townace (2C powered Lotto) if it hadn't been used for over 8 hours. The glow plugs actually remained powered on for about 10 seconds after the glow indicator on the dash went out; you could hear the 'click' of the relay when the circuit switched off. That mantra served us well for over 13 years and 300k+ kms with only one rebuild.

    I was going to ask the same thing. Most probably before the center railing was erected?

    Turbo Engines

    terrabytetango replied to chamaps's question in General

    I checked out the price of a turbo kit for the Vios (before anyone starts up, Thailand made a limited production run of Turbo Vios' with low boost compressors), and the estimates were on the wrong side of 1lak, just for all the bits and pieces. Not worth it IMO for the ~40hp boost.
