    Quick Trivia

    Yeah.... on another lucky day... RR Sports Supercharged. Unreg. Very nice RR with nice colour. I knew Supra will jump with the answer, but couldn’t say supra is prohibited from answering since it’ll become too obvious.

    Quick Trivia

    Giving life to a forgotten thread....
  4. I saw this Z day before y’day..... and the DB9 yesterday. Both I saw in castle street and both turned towards the Royal Park. Will I be lucky on the 3rd consecutive day????
  5. Not the red skyline??? Think the monster was firing around 600hp. But didn’t see what was under that STI9 to comment anyway.
  6. Tnx. Your pics are absolutely marvelous. Saw you walking all around the venue and was so dedicated to your photography. Didn’t want to bother you. Anyway, thanks for the comment mate. Have the high res copies with me. Will Surrender them for your SSS badges. 2.0L supercar??? Good one mate… Actually was referring to my 200SX SE-R. (NO Peri, it was not GT-R… a SE-R badged only). After that, the ricer boy in me eventually died, may be too old for that. Glad that everyone seems clam down now. & thanx Ripper...

    Fb 15 Radio Antenna

    Someone must have stolen it.... lol It’s a body antenna. It’s good since there is no risk in breaking it but less reception than the conventional pullout antenna. The best is the motor control auto antenna imo, but have to be extra cautious when parking in indoor parking lots, and also from cycles and motorbikes zig-zaging through traffic when the car is stationary.
  8. GC …. You know, you’re a bloody ricer…. (I was a one too) lol. Now chill mate. We all were very good friends. Plz don’t let that go away by taking things personally. I hope we all enjoyed the show. Am I correct??? So plz cool down.
  9. Some pics I took...
  10. Stunning… Reventon and Countach are my best. .................................. Amazing story of the Lambo. Lesson learnt - You should not insult anybody. As a prominent manufacturer of tractors and heating units after World War II, Lamborghini was an enthusiastic owner of sports cars. After owning and driving a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, a Jaguar E-Type, and a Maserati 3500GT, he bought his first Ferrari, a 250GT. He became a Ferrari enthusiast, eventually owning three. However, he had recurring clutch problems with the car, and eventually brought his complaints to Enzo Ferrari. Ferrari insulted Mr. Lamborghini, effectively stating that a tractor manufacturer was not qualified to criticize his Ferraris. Insulted by Ferrari's reaction, Lamborghini began to repair his clutch himself, at which point he noticed that some of the clutch components were the same as the ones he used on his tractors. Encouraged by the discovery, Ferruccio Lamborghini called upon the talents of Giotto Bizzarrini, Gian Paolo Dallara, Franco Scaglione and Bob Wallace, who worked on what Ferruccio envisioned as his grand tourer to rival Ferrari. The result would eventually become the Lamborghini 350GT and the founding of Lamborghini. (Off Wiki)
  11. Bluebird Silphy is a JDM version and it has a better trim level AFAIK. True... BB Silphy carries a QG15DE while N16 carries a GA15DE engine, but I would say it's the same N16 with luxury trim levels. And you get the face lift version in 2004 (with new tail lights). Please correct me if I’m mistaken somewhere. …………………………… Malaka, why don’t you expand your search levels to a P11 as well? It’s such a nice car with all what you need. Stretch your budget a bit more and you can get a good P11, Specially the Camino.
  12. "Naduth Haammuduruwan ge - Baduth Haammuduruwan ge" ..... Hey Mr..... Watch where you're going... You want to get fined again... lol
  13. No doubt that VTEC was invented by Honda. AFAIK the based technology (variable Valve Timing) was first introduced to the automotive industry by FIAT (in mid 19’s) and followed by GM and the ALFA first put it in use. Having said that, it was no new technology in the other industries such as locomotive and aero even by then. Later every one else followed the based technology with their variants and Named them. Honda – VTEC, Nissan NVCS /VVL, BMW – VANOS, Toyota VVT-i. And they succeeded in different levels. So let’s not split our hair to find out who invented the technology. Just be thankful to whomever that got this idea to revolutionize the automotive industry to a new level.
  14. I can answer to only to this question. We went to Trinco last month and stayed in Nilaveli Beach hotel. You also could try Club Oceanic. An Amex card holder gets a special offer on JKH’s (2nd night free). Make sure when you go, you carry a copy of your vehicle registration, VALID revenue license (original) , and make sure you know the exact place where your Chassis # and engine # engraved. These little things will make you save lot of time and hassle when you’re returning after the journey. Talking with experience. Otherwise a very nice journey to enjoy, not much of through checking as well.
  15. All the very best Mazdaspeed. Warm wishes to u, your wife and the Jr. It is indeed “Dawn of a new era”. Lot of new baby boys (future AL generation).
  16. Hi Malaka, (FB 15) – Price range from 15 – 17 for EX Saloons and 17-20 for the Super Saloons (2003 face lift FB15 goes for around 20. Does around 8-10 in city and around 12 out of city. (N16) – Range from 15 – 18 for EX saloons and 17 – 22 for Super Saloons (Blue bird Silphy fetch the highest) If you want to go for a N16 go for the 1500 variant preferably with a M/T. 1300cc is under powered in my opinion. Primera TP12 is definitely out of your budget unless the owner wants to get rid of it urgently for whatever reason. Range is 20 to 26. Not sure of the TP fuel marks, mine is a HP and does around 8 with a light foot. Hope this will help youa bit...
  17. Congratulations Madz… My warm and heartful congratulations Madz… May all the blessings and very good luck for You, Chamdi and the Madz Jr. Guys we should arrange an AL parade to visit Jr. What do you say?
  18. No comments...
  19. What GTAm saing is why is it Only slightly less than the Jap version. I also think they should offer the Indian make at a much lower cost. Btw how much is a Swift Sport????
  20. I’m quoting this regard to the FB15 we had. It doesn’t take long to operate the O/D even in a morning start. May be because Nissan engines pick the engine heat relatively fast.
