LOL Ashaan's pajero ^

@nexus - at mgr peries ey?

Delica? Edit - too late :/

actually i don't see anything wrong with that.. since the Yaris/Vios is the sedan version of the Vitz.

Toyota Echo? Edit - nhaaa Davy is right, thats a prius

ahhhh, think i understood OT - this is ridiculous, so someone stalled there car today near my house and we helped to push it down the hill.. the bugger didn't release the clutch till he reached the end. -.- its one thing to don't know how to jump start a car. but its another to don't know how to push start a car

i see, never came across a battery without a positive terminal.

See, we are learning something and even i didn't know that there were batteries without positive. @MD - are these the 8v batteries that came with old cars?

Lol ancient bluebird.. one of our forum members has this hope he wont be offended and correct. take the floor

okay a very easy one

never seen one here mate, only on the internet before. actually i never seen a Seat in sri lanka

Seat Ibiza? if so, we have them in Sri Lanka?

1. for a 35v battery a normal car jumper cable would be find. but its advisable to carry a jumper cable with more copper conductors. 2. Not sure about the ideal amperage but if its a 12v battery, the jumping battery has to be 12v as well @MasterDon, feel free to move or remove the thread

So most of the people who owns a vehicle, doesn't know how to jump start a car. So i thought about sharing this. You'll need to park the running car next to the dead car in such a way that the jumper cables can reach both batteries. If you aren't sure where the batteries are under each hood, take a peek* before you park. for example, there are some van's where the battery is under the side footsteps of the rear sliding door. Step 1 Make sure both cars are turned off Step 2 Connect one end of the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive(+) terminal on the stalled battery. Step 3 Then connect the other red (positive) cable clamp to the positive(+) terminal of the good battery. Step 4 Connect one end of the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the good battery. Step 5 Then connect the other black (negative) cable to a clean, unpainted metal surface under the disabled car’s hood. Somewhere on the engine block is a good place. Unless you want to see flying sparks and a possible explosion, do not connect the negative cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery, . Step 6 Start the car that’s doing the jumping, and allow it to run for about 2 to 3 minutes before starting the dead car. Step 7 Start the dead car Step 8 Remove cables in reverse order. Step 9 Keep the jumped car running for at least 30 minutes to give the battery sufficient time to recharge itself. Important Tips Disconnecting the battery - be sure you don't let the red and black cables touch each other at the end when they are still connected to one battery. If the car wont start properly - check to see if your battery or connections are corroded. If they are, sometimes a little wiggling while the cable clamp is connected will make your connection better. Otherwise you might have to clean the connections with a wire brush. Don't be nervous about your battery connections, but also know that it's very important that you do not mix up the cables or you can do serious damage. The hardest part of the job is simply remembering where to put each cable. Hope this will help someone Source: The Art Of Manliness & About.com

Damn, where on earth did he found R32 tail lamps O.o

u had a very weird collection O.o but nice

not really. the wira, the engine and most of the parts are shared with the Mitsubishi lancer CB series and the car is pretty damn reliable. last time we visited malaysia, we hired one there and went from Kuala lumpur to Therenganu and kelantan vice versa. a trip over 1000km and the car didn't give out at least once. didn't over heat or anything. the problem is, in Sri Lanka, people haven't maintain the wira's properly. about the lancer CK1, go for a manual. it does around 11-12kmpl with careful driving, though its a 1.3ltr, the pulling power is not that bad.

Seems right machan. but the 504, the pic was taken in 83

lol no no, it doesn't mean that. well let me try to shorten it. well this accident happened in polgolla back in the early 80's dad was driving in the left lane and a police jeep (the old Mitsubishi J44) it sorta came too fast taking a bend and went out of control and crashed into our car on the left lane. as u can see from the pic, the whole front end was damaged and the even the pedals was pushed back. but luckyly the engine wasnt damaged at all. and even after the crash the car started fine. though our car was highly damaged, only the bumper and a fog light were broken off, of the police jeep dad had a lot of trouble back then with that cop. though he admited his fault he forced dad not to tell the insurance company that its the cops fault. and instead tell that the car knocked on to a tree or something. and forced dad to pay for the jeeps damage as well The insurance company refused to claim for the damage since there were no sign's of hitting a tree. but somehow things got sorted out that time. Heard that after grandpa got to know the whole scenario, he took action against the cop.

a police jeep -.- its a long story

Well didnt know where else to post these pics Grandpa's Austin Cambridge. (had it for 18 years) The Awesome Mini (Race spec) Dads old 504 Estate (oh and thats our old driver whose missing now) Grandpa's last car The lancer (The one i always brag about) will upload pics of others if i find them.

lol true.. take the floor mate

From your list i would go for the Civic. it will fulfill all your requirements mentioned abouve id go for a FD1 (1.8vtec) the car has sufficient power and there nothing special in maintaining it. There is enough space and ride is not bad either. the bluebird is a lil bit high maintenance than the other two and the 141 is just too boring
