I guess it would be safe to ask someone who is coming from abroad to bring it with them rather than getting from online directly. The reason is by any chance if it was stopped at customs you might face lot of problems. As of i know its very easy to purchase from US and bring it down. Pls correct me if i'm wrong.. For good radar detectors check some reviews on youtube about below ones. You will be able to get a good idea. https://www.cobra.com/products/detection-systems http://www.escortradar.com/windshield-mounted-detectors/ KMeeg.

Item 1 - So when you place the doughnut tank you have to think of a place to keep your spare tire. Else the tire will go all over the boot when you brake or take a bend. So i guess better and mostly safer would be placing the tank outside right? So the spare tire will be safe and tight. Most importantly wont eat any room in boot. Item 2 - I guess you might have not notice i have added the same video in my earlier post. The reason i ask you is, in this test they place 2L of petrol inside the car. So normally you don't have a petrol tank inside the car right? But LPG tanks are normally placed inside the car. This test is about igniting it with something like a cigarette or electrical spark. So its very unlikely for a petrol right? So those who think to place the LPG tank inside the car think about that. On another note those who do not remove the petrol tank like MAS what if a LPG fire ignites petrol tank..?? Damn..!! Item 3 - So that is a good thing. Using the same fuel gauge. Item 4 - Yes that's safe that having a written document with insurance that you have a vehicle that uses Petrol and LPG. Even better if you could find out how to update the CR. Item 5 - In my experience its gonna cost more to remove all the equipment and hide all the holes made to fix them. So will have to think about the cost fixing + removal. Also how long will it take to cover that cost with a saving other than running on petrol. Also if we thing out of the discussion of LPG conversions there are many car manufactures like Ford who build vehicles to run on natural gas (CNG/LPG engine). I've seen only big vehicles with this technology. Not sure about small vehicles. Hope this discussion is helpful to all. Thanks for sharing the info MAS. KMeeg.

How about white. Less heat and scratches are not much visible compared to dark colors..

Great to hear that MAS. All that we need is a safe & comfortable car will less maintenance and running cost while been able to use for a long time right? But I have some more questions about this EGI conversions. Is this doughnut tank to be fixed where the spare wheel fits? If so it will be a trouble to keep the spare wheel from moving around the boot right? Or does the tank certified safe to fix outside of the car? If by any chance if there is a gas leak and if it ignites the fire will start inside the car right? Unlike petrol, if there is a petrol leak it will ignite from under the car or in side engine bay right? And petrol does not spread inside the cabin like LPG right? Since you have fixed the conversion system from a local garage do you have any certification about the installation and the equipment? After converting to LPG what was the process of updating the insurance and the certificate of registration? What i'm trying to understand is the legal factor of you vehicle to run on the road? As when we register a vehicle it says that it a petrol or any format which was there in the original condition. So what was the process to update these after the modifications? (Just wanted to know how to be safe from the legal maters in case of a accident) Lastly i'm not sure how will the LPG conversions effect the resale value. As per what i have heard the resale value is far low even hard to find a buyer. KMeeg.

Question about some items in the ad – · The ad says even though we have 90/93/95 octane petrol newer vehicles recommend fuel with octane level of 104. But on the fuel tank I see many cars mark as ‘E85’, on Mazda Skyactive engines mark as ‘E91’ & some with ‘E93’. Does this say about the Octane level? I do believe that this talk about the mix of Ethanol but not sure how Octane is calculated. Can someone explain please? Experience about converting fuel system – I don’t have experience about EGI Hybrid conversion but below is my experience about old Gas conversion from Laughs. · Conversion cost about Rs45,000 from Laughs including service charge + parts. And you have to take the car to Laughs to service the KIT. Also I had to clean the air filter more often but was not a big issue since when you ask anyone at the laughs filling station they will do it for you. · Tank for the gas took lot of space from the boot. I would say 1/3 of the space for an average car. (I don’t think it can be fixed to a smaller hatch back unless they have a smaller gas tank). · Older system has to be switched manually from Petrol to Gas. If you missed the timing the engine stops. Then have to switch back to petrol and try again. This is was a pain if you have traffic. When stopping the car for long time if you forget to switch back to petrol it’s difficult to start. Also have to look down to check the gas level. · Installation adds more equipment to engine bay and certain pumps were connected with ‘Y’ brackets connecting to Gas system. And a separate pump is fixed to pump gas which doesn’t have a good finish. And a switch to your dashboard which is not a good looking one. · Power is way less than running with Petrol. · According to my calculation I could not go more distance than petrol. Meaning distance traveled with 10L of petrol VS 10L of LPG. · After traveling a long trip on outstation road with relatively high speeds than stop and go speeds in town I get a burning smell. Never got it when using Petrol. Also noted that the silencer is very dry. When running with petrol the silencer has some moist right? Of cause the bad smell that you get when you stand by. · After using few years when I check the engine with the mechanic he told that many engine parts were burnt due to LPG. So decided to clean completely and not to use LPG any more. Went to Laughs and disconnected the system. But certain parts still attached to the body like the Tank fixed for LPG, LPG pump, Some parts in the engine as removing them is a pain and will still have the holes on body which they did to fix them. But on a final note I’m not trying to tell that EGI Hybrid conversion is bad. I just shared my experience with the old system Laughs had. But it was a lesson I learnt to keep the car as it is for the safer side. Also to note that hybrid technology is getting advance and you can buy many good cars with hybrid technology. So Prius is not the only option. You can get Camry, Highlander, Lexus RX ES GS or even CT, Nissan Pathfinder, etc etc... I guess almost all major automakers produce Hybrid versions. Or even forget about high price tags, think about cars like Viva. I used a Viva 5spd manual which gave me a fairly good gas millage. Anyways this is just my opinion. Hope you will take a wise decision. Hope other will give you their comments for you too.. KMeeg. Check below links too; LPG Bad - LPG Good -

Congratz again and very nice car Bracket. I wish they would provide the side mirrors with body color (Just my thought mate may be you like this way). Anyways love the sharp look of the Lancer. And also hope that you will not try to put evo body kit and crew the look of this beauty.. Post some more pics too bro...(although i have seen some in other threads

Guess this is fake but fun to see a F1 on road... Or if madmax could buy one.. (Def will buy a ticket to visit him and ask for a ride (drive).. ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYGxPZf4hOo Edited - (Had to change the 1st pic as the site removed the pic. Not sure how long this one will remain)

Hi All, I was just searching for GPS and came across this link http://www.gpstravelmaps.com/gps-maps/asia/sri-lanka.php. Have any body tried maps from this one? Looks like their maps are supporting all garmin nuvi devices. According to their site maps are getting frequent updates too. For example the last 2 updates are Dec 2012 and then June 2013. It's good to have availability of maps for common gps devices right? Another thing i'm not sure is why do you have to use Garmin Basecamp to install the maps. Anybody has idea about Garmin Basecamp? Also please share if anybody tried this maps. Links to visit regarding this - 1. http://www.gpstravelmaps.com/gps-maps/asia/sri-lanka.php 2. http://www.gpsetravelguides.com/page/sri-lanka-gps-map.html According to this it has below benefits; • Compatible with all Garmin Units. • Instant download or have an SD card shipped. • Installs in minutes. • Contains thousands of points of interest and roads. • No expensive cellular data plan needed. • Will not delete your current Garmin GPS map. • Less expensive then renting a Garmin unit. • Turn-by-turn Garmin map directions to POIs, cities, streets, and latitude longitude. • Voice directions for all languages - English, Spanish, German, French & more. Not sure you guys are interested anymore with this topic. Saw couple of discussions for gps app for mobiles but just thought of getting some info about general gps devices. KMeeg.

If you can afford 18MPG Hwy with extremely high SL fuel prices may be an option.. BTW with the development i see from news in SL i wish government will consider to reduce fuel prices and provide good quality fuel..

Hi Stig, Is LIDAR same as Laser bands? Bcos i'm seen that under the laser category in user manual. KMeeg.

</blockquote>Ku is commonly used in US too, and seeing less K band these days.</p></blockquote> Ohh.. I didn't know Ku is used. Thought Ka is the common. BTW do you use any laser jammers? If so have you ever had any trouble using them? And Davy you are absolutely correct..:-)

Hi Knightowl, Looks like this is a basic radar detector. There are many things you need to check when you are hunting for radar detectors. Here are some information about them; 1. Cops use many type of speed traps. Basically Radar & Laser. Radar has different bands for speed traps & equipment detection like X, K, Ka, Ku, VG2, Spectre 1, Spectre IV. As of I’m aware Ku is used in Europe and not in US. Then several Laser bands. So instead of looking for 9 band / 15 band likewise you need to check what exactly it is covered (what type of bands are covered). Many new radar detectors cover almost all but cost you around $300 - $500. Eg – Escort Passport series detectors. I think good Cobra ones will come to same price range. 2. Then another option is selecting the sensitivity level from highway / city. Many good radar detectors will have the option Auto which it automatically selects for you. 3. Then you need to check the options like undetectable, strobe alert, safety alert which will warn you about cop cars & other emergency vehicles. (most of them equipped with transmitters which fall in these alert systems) 4. Protection from laser guns is extremely hard mostly on city. For example when the cop is waiting with a laser gun on a tight curve / bend most of the radar detectors will be too late to save you. (Not sure if anyone have a very good radar detector to catch those before it hits) But generally on curves not much luck with laser speed traps. Best option would be to have a laser jammer. But if you are caught you will be in serious trouble. And you cannot remove them like portable radar detectors. Laser jammers are generally hard wired and fixed on front and back of your car. (I haven’t used these so not much idea). 5. Then there will be options like GPS enabled & community threat sharing options. If you have used the ‘Waze’ app / Garmin traffic its same kind of thing. 6. I have also heard some detectors with GPS Maps and other fancy options but not sure how good and safe they are. 7. Finally find about the state laws about using Radar detectors since you are in UK. In US many states have ban using them but its a fact that many use them and freely available in almost all electronic / car parts selling places. Anyhow you should always act fast to remove them and keep it where the cop can’t see it if by any chance if you are stopped for any reason. But basically I believe speeding in city even with the best radar detector in the world you would still be looking for trouble. But when you are going on road trips on highways they really help. But still have to be really careful on curves/bends. Finally I don’t think SL police have different bands than what I have mentioned above. But please correct me if I’m wrong Hope these few points helps, KMeeg. PS- Adding 2 more point that i think you might need to check - You might need to check you detector settings. If you have user preference for meter mode set it for expert (Will notify all bands alerts at the same time). Cobra will have the same kind of menu may be different name, Also check the position of your detector. I believe under the rear view mirror toward middle of windshield would be the optimum place.

Toyota Corolla E100 Wagon.(Pls correct me if i'm wrong) The owner seems to be giving good care for his car..

My dad's bike mechanic highly recommended Hero Honda Karizma if you are looking for a Indian bike. According to him Karizma is a very reliable bike. He was a trusted mechanic for my dad's bikes for many years (took over the business from his father). But i cannot tell about the Karizma since we did not buy it. Just letting know what he told. As per my experience we have used Honda CL 175, Honda CB 125 alloy wheel model, Suzuki GN 250 and they were hard as rocks. Even after 2 or 3 engine overhauls still running great. But a fact that they cannot compete with the fuel economy of a Indian bike and availability of spare parts compared to common Indian bikes in market now. And of cause these models are very old models and the new bikes comes with better technology. KMeeg.

No more Transasia location now? Everyone in Orion city now? One of the best times were when we were at Kolpety where we bring guitars and other music instruments and do sing-a-song sessions in evening.. What a time it was.. Of-cause not to forget the crazy driving did in orion car park too.. I know many other companies have these kind of fun things after office too..

Thanks Pericles for the info. I will check. BTW i checked your ones as well and very good to learn. Thanks Magnum. I never came across this one. Will watch those too..

Virtusa or ECollege?

Yes Davy.. I migrated couple of years ago. But car is still at home & still in same good shape..

Yes sir..

Very inspiring story right? For anyone who don’t know about this read below about the tractor story.. From Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini KMeeg.

Guys, Those who are looking to learn photography hope this will help. I downloaded a torrent called 'Kelby Training Collection' which is 78.1GB with 125 disk images.
