  1. long time back, granddad had a a green velox like this
  2. Thanks MD and yeah, i am ditching this painter from now on. we've hired him for around 25 years now. but this last job i am not entirely satisfied with it.
  3. the bugger has put compound on it ban :/ and thanks mate was thinking the same but then thought that this isn't quite really a proper DIY job. its more like a suggestion.
  4. tbh compared to my corona, the rear legspace in the sylphy is quite crampy. though i admit it has a way better interior
  5. Will do, thanks mate
  6. let the first code dry for an hour and apply the tire shine for the second time and let it dry again End result
  7. if the blackness of this fades away quickly. ill try that method as well tbh i don't have much knowledge in this field. i asked my painter and he said point blank you cant paint it..
  8. N17 is not much of a economical car. it gives around 8-9 kmpl. and the liana produce the same numbers of fuel figures as well
  9. After painting the car and polishing it with compound, my painter made a big mess with the roof beading. Most of the people i asked advice for told me that either ill have to find a new beading or paste a black or a carbon fiber like sticker on it. i just tried out using a tire shining liquid as a temporary solution around it and i am happy with the results. All you need is a bottle of tire shine and a small piece of sponge. Tip. measure the beading and cut a piece a lil bit smaller than that so it wont get messy. Before Gently apply it along the beading After Do the same to the other side The left side beading was popping out in one place. i tried with a hot glue gun and multibone but it just didn't do the trick. Tried with a double side 3M tape and it did the trick. Before After A Cheaper and an Easy way to keep the old beading
  10. okay using a Liana. its not that economical. its not a bad car.. have a big boot, enough leg space and basic luxuries but not the most economical. my recommendations Nissan Wingroad Y11 Nissan FB15 Toyota Carina/Corona premio Mazda familia wagon these cars are usually used for tourism. and they will fulfill all your criteria.
  11. actually i dont think this guy deserves any credit. ive personally removed this sort of dashboards and after removing its quite easy to paste these stickers. and this is a facelift carina the outside looks pretty stock and very well maintained. donno what posses this guy to do something like this :/
  12. 1. its "Daihatsu" 2. parts are very hard to come by for this car and resale value is not that much good either. performance vice i can't comment.
  13. Teak interior.. YOUR DOING IT WRONG. *facepalm*
  14. ive been to a DC avanti showroom. they had this car displayed and 2 limousines. it actually looked okay close up. but didnt allow me to take photos inside.
  15. woaaahh Davy.. ur one heck a guy.. the hell.. even charlten didnt do a nice job like this on my old heads.. your the man
  16. Sasmung is stepping up a notch when it comes to display this year and samsung will probably dropping android and will start using Tizen from the end of the year. although i wish samsung continues with android tizen is a combination of there touchWiz and linux, samsung is having something big up there sleeves as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypKB32DlyzM
  17. and he bought it for a permit
  18. saw this on FB im guessing its a Ford fairlane btw this thread is going way OT now
  19. looks a lot like the new viper, but better. i usually dont like american cars. but this... schiffer lickey. just hoped they dropped cheap plastic rear bumper like the previous models.
  20. The hell's wrong with the grading system of toyota? and i can believe that. -.- looks like there is a guy who goes "hmmm im gonna name this G... and im gonna call you X" out of random before coming out of the factory. like JDnet said. u could just put a G badge and sell it
  21. i second that bogzy said, check your break pistons, i too faced the same prob and changed the whole caliper.
  22. This is the best way to explain this for the G grade, the sunroof is "optional" and for the X grade, the sunroof cannot be added and the G Grade comes with climate control AC but the X grade comes with manual all the other things are optional. basically the person who invented the grading system for toyota should be fired. the same case goes to almost every other models.
  23. Gets worse, the XLI comes with a mix of all these features as well. and now it seems that the Luxel comes with the white as well as the black meter cluster..
  24. seems like a FB15 owner has got hold of Camera 360 ;)
