    Alloy Wheels

    YES you can increase fuel efficiency from ALLOY WHEELS. But it really depends on what Type of Alloy You need Put. Specially Country of Manufacturer is important. If its from TAIWAN there are around 3 factories which make light alloy wheels. in China Just 1. A proper alloy wheel will reduce weight in the long term help on fuel consumption. You can always weigh the wheel you have and the alloy wheel to check the weight difference. If you need any info more just post your email.
  2. Supra I think both of these vehicales so equal on many different footings and for as a buyer I researched extensively to many things and i found at if you buy either when ever you see the other vehicle on the road sometimes you might feel a bit sad or happy. its like a question between a Evo 9 and a Sti 9.
  3. http://www.productreview.com.au/showitem.php?item_id=1778 August 13th, 2007 Pros: Legendary off road ability...nothing touches it. Cons: My feet get wet when it rains. I can't hear my girlfriend talk when we drive (sorry, this should be in the 'Pros' section). What was the point in putting a stereo in......the only time you can hear the bloody thing is at the lights. The cabin was designed by a one legged 3'4" midget. It handles on road like a wheelbarrow full of walruses, ergonomics? what ergonomics! Overall: This car is cool....very cool. Cool people step out of defenders; farmers,soldiers,firefighters,aid workers, explorers, royalty, mountain rescuers, special forces. It's not a car for men who are so highly preened and plucked they look like women. It's not a car for men who have a need to be looked at or feel the need to have a highly tuned 'chick magnet' with a 'woofer' box the size of a small country in the boot to prove they are a man. Metro sexual males will wince at the thought of climbing into a Defender in case they dirty their Armani jeans. The man who drives a Defender is a down to earth, practical, modest all round bloody good egg that has a million cool stories about his life. He has no need for a 'big fast red' accessory to feel like he's made it in the world. When Landcruiser drivers criticise Defenders, Defender drivers just smile wryly. If someone criticises a Toyota you can bet you will receive an hour long lecture on why Toyotas are so good. Good maybe....but definitely not cool. One could say almost like any type of whitegoods....useful, practical but definitely not cool. So there you go, if you are considering buying a Defender you will be part of a unique group of individuals, how many times have you driven a Toyota and had other Toyota drivers give you a wave when passing? Drive a Defender and you automatically enter into a unique band of people.
  4. Damn what rich history we have in SL. by the way I remember this Auction at Welisara Camp MINIACE infact mentioned about it.
  5. Lakshan, thanks for all the information bro. you have been very helfull. By the way machan some say the TD5 once it starts to gives problems its a dollar pit, Like the injectors one alone is 95000 bucks and has 5 to replace, Machan whats your view. Do they encounter problems that often !!!

  11. lakshan bro whats your email addy, just want to get some information on the landrover pickup type which you have. will try to contact you,
  12. Machan the car looks hot and awesome, By the way what are those wheels. by the way DD small note. Any possibility to paint the under wheels well in matt black. cos there is white patch. off course when you install the lowering suspension i am sure it will not be noticeable. i remember how the Lexus IS of advan which ran the same colour and it looked hot in the track damn really wished there was event at katu.
  13. Google Earth has been updated. Previously the Areas of Galle Matara and Upto Hambanthota was not covered. How ever now all areas have been covered and including Kandy / Matale and Intresting the West Side above the Iranamadu Tank. Also previously chilaw was the last point of coverage and now it goes passing kalpitiya - wanatha villuwa up to Wilpathu. I wish they cover more of Panama and Okanda of the Yala Sides. Hope they update more sooner. Google earth shows how small and beautiful Sri Lanka is.
  14. HOPEFULLY I AM SURE THE Environmental Standards Certificate can be brought for MONEY in Sri Lanka.
  15. Yeah Mini - you guessed right
  16. LOL good one peri.
  17. Infact bro Panama and Costa Rica and Trinidad have very low violence. Honduras and Nicaragua surely has some bit - but none like Sri Lanka.
  18. damn - how much did it cost !! Looks awesome - by the way why is the pic so grainy - was it night mode.
  19. z did you check out that video, machan why doesnt that pick up get stuck in the mud at all, i am sure its becuase of the tires. I am correct. also i guess its takes less effort to power the small wheels making the engine less stressfull.
  20. BEST PLACES TO MIGRATE FROM SRI LANKA MY NEXT OPTIONS IF SRI LANKA GETS REALLY BAD TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO PANAMA COST RICA VENEZUELLA GUEATAMALA HONDURAS NICARAGUA Vehicles are pretty cheap in the Above Countries + Super Beaches + 1 + 4X4 activites + Loads of Cheap Evos and Subies too and Some Hot Women !!!!
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdJhqinMp2g...feature=related Machan Laskhan i was watching one of your videos. it seems your pick up does not get stuck in any mud at all. Machan is it because of the tires ?
  22. yeah bro these are paddy fields with lots of grass on them. water is not that deep. ideal for a 4x4 setting.
  23. yeah, but i guess ma budget is max 3.7. This is landy pick up by the way. LAKSHAN has some nice interesting videos too on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdJhqinMp2g...feature=related
  24. Heard from some one thats its gona be price at around 5 mil. thats why i mentioned it, i am not sure if its a solid piece of info though. lets wait and see. How ever with the world weather changing its always better to have 4x4 ready for some action.
