Velocity

Nice car bro. Well done on purchase.

some pics Gaya can you txt me your email address again.

Happy Bday Dude, Sorry for the late wishes

Awesome. Will be there bro, What time is it ? is the place accessible by a Car !!!

but nothing like owning a True Evo X right ?

No bro, not me i cannot afford it over here.

We have dark blue one over here, but i am not sure if its the DISI TURBO ENGINE. Thats one heck of ride bro, thumps up. I love that vehicle.and awesome options list from Mazda.

Evolution X RS ?

Does not make sense - why the f**k do they give permits then ?????

Feb 18, 2008 (AFP) - Sri Lanka has further raised taxes on cars to discourage imports and save foreign exchange, officials said Monday, pushing first-time buyers out of the market as economic woes worsen on the island. The new tax, which adds 10-percent import duty on cars and vans, is to be rubber-stamped by parliament this month although customs authorities have been collecting it since January. Ambulances, funeral hearses, buses and three-wheel vehicles are exempt from the higher tax. "The additional revenue will go into a fund to develop regional infrastructure facilities," assistant director of customs, K. Premanath, told AFP. Sri Lanka has no car manufacturing industry and imports mainly from Asia and Europe with duties ranging from 250 to 350 percent before the new tax. The finance ministry said the hike is also to discourage imports and save foreign exchange. The island's overall imports jumped 10.2 percent in 2007 to 11.30 billion dollars, the central bank said last week. Petroleum products accounted for nearly 60 percent of import costs. Total vehicle registrations in 2007 was flat at 278,000, according to customs figures. "We have seen a 25 to 30 percent drop in overall vehicle sales in the past year alone. The taxes makes it impossible for first time buyers to own a vehicle," said Ranjan de Silva of the Motor Traders Association. The price of a second hand, four-year-old Toyota Corolla will reach 40,000 dollars, car dealers said. "Right now, we can't dispose the stocks we have in hand let alone import new ones," said Berty Widanagamage, spokesman for the Used Vehicle Importers Association of Sri Lanka. "Interest rates are over 20 percent, inflation is over 21 percent and even leasing companies are feeling the pinch. We are finding it very difficult to survive," he said. Prices of essentials have soared as the government pours 1.5 billion dollars to fight Tamil Tiger ##### this year, up 20 percent from last year. Electricity charges are set to go up by 135 percent from March, under a hike proposed by the state-run Ceylon Electricity Board monopoly. http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullsto...p;SEARCH_TERM=7

nice to have met all you chaps and well done pradfred for organising, miniace thanks for the support. nice xtrail by the way bro. hope to join next time again.

some times DERANA CAMERA CREW might come over there. I will be there for sure. Sadly my former Rx 8 will be out of town heading to TISSA.

got the body kit done bro... wheels and suspension was installed after i got the car.

Hey Ruslan, Its Nice to See a Mazda 323 RS Fan. Well I imported a Car through one of my close Freinds back in 2004. It only costed me 1.5 Mill at that time. The car had just done around 15000km.I just that knew that the car was 1.5 LTR VVTI. I never checked its Horsepower, But the Day i got the car it had 15 Tires Standard. I reved it above 4400 RPM and damn this was a Rocket. It seems it had 130 BHP Standard with the *VICS systems. Sadly I sold it in 2005 FEB. *VICS (variable inertial charge system): By setting the precise length of the inlet pipe to ensure an even blend of fuel vapour with air and optimising air pressure, maximum energy and perfect burn is delivered. To boost torque at higher speeds. Conceptually, it is like a variable valve timing system (but is not the same thing) in that it allows more air to be drawn in at speeds above 4750 rpm, thereby keeping the torque curve at a higher level rather than falling off. Continuous Phased Variable Valve Timing Mechanism S-VT (sequential valve timing) controls the valve timing in various driving modes, through continually varying the opening and closing timing of the intake valve, to give the most suitable operation. It goes without saying that the application of this control technology has simultaneously improved both the performance of the engine and its fuel efficiency, and Mazda has built this brand new mechanism into its small mass-sales car, the Familia, as its main engine (the 1.5L ZL-VE type introduced in 1998). CO2 emissions have been reduced by 16% and NOx by 14% over previous models, while the pleasure of driving the car has increased. S-VT engine Maximum output: 130ps/7000rpm. Maximum torque: 14.4kg-m/4000rpm S-VT is composed of a vane actuator, which continually varies the phase of the intake valve timing and the crank angle through oil pressure, along with a computer, which calculates the intake valve timing, and an oil control valve (OCV), which controls the oil pressure in accordance with instructions from the computer. The most appropriate valve timing control can be achieved through detection of the engine's revolutions, intake volume and water temperature. NOx emissions are also reduced, through the implementation of EGR. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had driven it To Matara / Anuradapura and i rate this car ++++ 1 for Its Handling and Power compared to other 1.5ltr. Its pretty Sexy Too. This was my car at that Time. And i am just so sad that I sold it.

These is one UREG for 2.2 MIL Now.

RICED UP MY LANCER.

sure Peri ! 3 RX 8's and 2 MODIFIED MAZDA 3 Confirmed if the meet goes on.

Anurudha, I should say Thumps Up to Photographs you have taken.

I guess what DARIN said about the Sti has come true., it was nice to see the hot hatch perform like that.

LOL bro, yeah i can be like a king until i actually meet evo or a scooby and they see that i run with rear drum brakes and instantly become FRIED RICE.... LOL emailed you by the way.

Thanks Guys Body kit is ready infact, just needs some final touches for the Final Pics.

machan read the following. I think its pretty helpful. i think C stands for competition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Impreza_WRX
