Tuned & Powered By CISCO ? ;-)

Can i get Crisco Nihal to tune my civic so that it can do @ least 15Kmpl ? ;-)

Can we have a 3rd option .... NO VOTE :-)

S@n L@nka ..... Adv@nc@ car audio... but u need to be careful of the guys marketing... they will talk & if u r not careful u will end up buying the whole store ;-) Gilb@rt & Sons is good too....

Check this clip out guys.... ATF flush without a machine.... :-) i guess a combination of manual filter cleaning & ATF replacement shown in this video would be a good solution

ok... mine is the stock filter replacement and idling is smooth..so im hoping everything's working ok..... :-) will need to see when i pump gas next time what kinda effect the filter has made :-) but so far i'm happy with the results....

Will do..... :-)

Thanks dude... didn't get the cleaning kit.. yeah i'll give that guy a call... yup.. noticeable increase in power :-) But actually i didn't let it idle... the guy @ Motocade asked if he should fix the air filter as well since i wanted the headlight bulbs also replaced... i said yeah.. and didn't let it idle ... would that have an affect ?

Hey guys... just got my K&N air filter from M@t@c@de.... got the box filter so it fitted into the stock filter housing... did notice a bit of power increase @ low RPM.... now have to monitor the fuel economy :-) ..... do i need to reset the ECU or any other specific task when this kinda mod is done ?

Thanks Bugatti

Thanks for the very detailed feedback & yes mine is a EK3. i have been doing some research for the passed 2 weeks (google, google, google) and one of the most common areas mentioned in almost every article regarding vehicle sound deadening was the doors. so today i went to P#tco & got their sound deadening material applied for the front doors and guess what.... there is a noticeable improvement in the noise insulation coming from the outside... the engine noise is almost the same (i think the firewall needs to be done up for it to reduce) but the road noise & noise over pot wholes, rough roads has reduced by a noticeable amount. it cost me 3300 LKR ( 3 packets, each packet has 2 sheets. ). i'm thinking of a DIY for the other 2 doors. only thing is the guy @ P#tco used a heat-gun to stick the material better on to the door panels... but i think i should be able to manage as the sheets are like a sticker with a adhesive surface one one side.... I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of Sound Deadening.... only downside is if someday you need to do any repairs to the door (shutter, wiring ...etc) then you will have to spend some extra time getting the SD material out :-) So far so good... i will keep you guys updated of the progress.......next is getting the floor panels.. don't think i'll use the same material...doing more research on that as well...... P#tco has another product from USA which is very expensive... 1 sheet is abt 5000LKR and it's abt twice the Sq Ft of the above ones i used for the doors.... but this is very thick & mostly used for the car floor... NOT GONNA USE THAT way too expensive Thanks everyone for all the feedback and advice..... if you guys come across any info please update this thread....

Guys i need to rent a SUV for abt 5 days ..... any idea of the rate & a reliable place to get one ?

Wurth Sound Deadening panels ? where can i buy them ?

i have been using Bridgestone Indonesian made ones for the past 7 years (not the same set of tires ) ..but they have been excellent... bit exp i think but is comfy & quiet too....

Good advice... thanks guys.....

well im trying to reduce the noise coming in...road noise, tyre noise, engine noise...etc

i also heard abt it... not sure....MacFoil has another product McFoam Sheet / Slabs dont know if that would work or not...

Hi Guys.... i tried calling around but no one seems to be doing Sound Deadening specifically. So i was thinking of getting the carpet done from a car carpeting place & under the carpet before they lay it..maybe put another thick material to get some sound reduction.... any idea ?

yeah.. come on guys... stand-up for ur Cefiro

Yeah.... MagCity is a rip-off

didn't notice anything diff in the interior :-)

The Premio is a big, heavy car... not sure if the 1.5 will be nippy enough... consider the 1.8

"Believe me, if the car is cheap, something is not right.".... maybe it's just PERCEPTION ...SL is the only country in the world i believe where the value of used car actually increases

Why don't you consider the Premio also.... i used a 2002 (KA-xxxx) 1.8Ltr for sometime... very good car.. enough power, comfortable & it did 10.5km/ltr in Colombo and abt 12.6 out station. i have seen the same range on autolanka for sale & they were cheaper than a A15 Allion.....

ok...so howz the fuel efficiency and maintenance cost?
