    1mbps is painful. I remember back in 2004 when all I had was 512k. Do you have fibre in your area? I know Nugegoda is slowly getting it.

    Doesn't the Suzuki Swift rack fit the Cruze?

    Those are water spots, nothing to do with acid rain (acid doesn't affect glass, which is why used glass beakers to carry out HCL and H2SO4). Use a good glass stain remover and you'll be good.

    The car mimics a farady cage, but isn't an ideal one, plus the wiring in the engine bay is more than enough for an EMP to travel through to the ECU.

    Interesting, considering that iMIEV and iMIEV Minicab Van and Truck are all fully electric.

    It's the electromagnetic field generated by the lightning strike which fried the ECU et al.

    Holy shit that's expensive. I backed a kickstarter project for a dual channel dashcam which cost $99. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1206117568/clex-dash-cam-for-your-vehicle

    Which bit are you referring to? TATA buying Mitsubishi shares? Considering Jaguar is doing better than they ever have, I wouldn't think one should be too worried.

    So my mechanic is a proper inspiration to us all. He's currently restoring an Isuzu Florian. I was without a phone at the time so couldn't take any photos sadly. Personal project, not a customer commission.

      So you'll have to wait till he finish that?

      Is it a face-lifted one with double square headlamps? Photos please.

      @asrock he does restorations only as a personal hobby, so he couldn't really help me even if i wanted it.

      @sampath, didn't have a phone with me to take pics with, but it's a silver square lamp one, probably an 80's one. I'll take photos for you the next time I go there.

    The shroud is important to airflow. You should get it replaced ASAP.

      i THINK not geminis came with a 1.7 egnine and as far as i remember the trooper had a 2L engine??

      afaik, those geminis are very hard to sell and donno about what in perticular but heard they are pretty unreliable, specially the turbo ones. But i weirdly have a soft spot for the second gemini.

      Having had two JT641's (which are turbo) around 11 years ago.. wouldn't say they are unreliable.

    12km/l in Colombo is a myth, unless you're driving a car with an 800cc engine or less. My Axio Hybrid gets only 15-16 in pure city driving. It increased to 17.6 the past week since traffic was light. The Wagon R pseudo hybrid gets around 14.5 or so.
  14. terrabytetango
    Let your wife have the Wagon R. Buy yourself something older and cheaper. Used B13 Sunnys are hovering around the 1mil mark for Super Saloons.
  15. terrabytetango
    My GF has a Wagon R FZ; It has the same issue that the GP1 has, i.e. when the engine stops, the A/C stops cooling. The K10 auto, while it works, I wouldn't say it works very well. It lurches when rolling away from a stop, and gear shifts can be painfully slow at times. The manual K10 is a blast to drive, there's plenty of torque down low, and the ride isn't half bad.
  16. terrabytetango
    Is your front suspension sagging?
  17. terrabytetango
    One thing though; the Mark X does not have rear A/C. At least I have seen some without, unlike the Camry since 2002, which comes with rear vents as standard.

    Omfg, every car i pick, is already sold by the time get around to making an offer. #FML.

      I wish I had the money to buy more cars..Presea is not the only thing in my mind.. The Mark II-Grande, Audio A4 (2012), Peugot 508, the new BMW Coupe are what's in my list. However I dont have the cash now to buy another.. but one day I will..

      99% of what my heart wants is a car with frameless windows.. but since its very rare that new cars come with frameless windows, im sticking to that aforementioned list..

      @hoonigan, beater, which might turn into a project. In any case budget is under a million bucks.

    Black hoods reduce glare reflected from the bonnet to the driver. The Isuzu Vehicross has a black bit on the bonnet specifically to mitigate this.

    A friend went to check it out yesterday. 45K is with 30% off, for the basic unit without the dildo and a second controller.
  21. terrabytetango
    Nice bit of DIY! OT, but did you buy that soldering station here? And if so, where and how much? I need one pronto but I don't want to import one.
  22. terrabytetango
    Or join the PC Master Race.

    Something all of us can relate to. https://www.facebook.com/ApiSriLankanBro/videos/871917189586002/?fref=nf

    Euros are slowly creeping up in price as qell. Have you seen the prices at which 406s W123 diesels are going for lately?
  25. terrabytetango
    Honestly? Bajaj Chetak.
