Velocity

Is this the car being imported for permits ? Looks very conservative, but i guess reliablity / fuel economy and 2nd hand market value cannot be matched i guess with any other.

Don infact mahinda has only suffered damages to the front intercooler and radiator only. Front bumper is damaged and fenders with the bonnet. Luckily he is into Autoparts. So he has all the parts complete with him. thanks for the support guys. Yes Ara still drives the Evo 7 RS and this weekend showed that he is one of the best gravel drivers. he was very consistent and some how able to dominate on gravel.

yeah but i would never do that because in back 2003 it was only me and few others who was there to support. i guess just becuase a driver makes mistake we should not call them a nut case or inability to drive because i am just a spectator. Hope you dont misunderstand machan. Just as KLM said just how many cars have been wrecked on Gravel. If i name the past accidents which has happend Aravinda Premadasa Subaru Sti / Pradeep Jayawardena Evo 5 / Dinesh Deheragoda Evo 8 and Evo 9 / Nalin Dilpriya Subaru Sti / Reyaz faoruk - Evo 4 / Masour Hassan Evo 5. Feroze Omar Sti 8 . I am sure all the above drivers are best of the best so i think just because they do a small mistake and wreck a car we should not put them down. I guess these machines costs lots of money to prepare. It hurts anyone deep down there heart to see them distroyed. cheers.

HA HA good saying. I heard the same saying at Last Year Gajaba.

Well Done to Pasindu Peiries too. He is very new to the Event, but proved his talent for his age.He was 2nd in the First Race and 3rd in the the 2nd Race.

infact Grand Civic i am helping Mahinda with all the coodination work with the overseas MOTEC TUNER. Mahinda's car was just tuned overnight. Car is in Standard form so may be in the next few races we will be able to get the full potential. As you know it takes lot of time and testing the best setup for a car. By the way Dinesh D is 5 th in Grid and not 6th. I am sure todays races will be hot. Dinesh D had a bit of bad luck on yesterday as it started raining when he just started his timing lap. All the Drivers have equally powered cars, so i am sure today race will be one of the most competitive Gajaba has seen.

machan this has 1.5 liter MIVEC. Its DOHC. they have recomended only 95 on this except if its not available 90 on the manual. Grand Civic i think paddleshift on comes on the GTS which is the 2.0 ltr model. Thats more than 7 mil bro. I would rather buy a Sti 9 for that money

yeah machan i am also very happy that Lancer at last has been designed well, i remember how the CK2A really looked hot. I guess this car will do pretty well. even if its big surprisingly it feels less heavier than the mazda 3. not sure how. but its very very light weight. yeah bro let me get some pictures today evening.

LOL bro i was a bit totally opposite your view. The controls to me looked a bit cheap compared to Mazda 3. Not sure just my opinion, The dials looks very nice indeed.

yeah will start to pimp it up soon. sadly i am not going to run this on the road. but may be a trip downsouth. This costed 42.5 as i did not order the Xenon Lights and Multifunction Steering. This i can order easily from USA for USD 1000 less. With those two options this car costs around 4 lacks more. Anyway i heard that more than 200 lancers are on its way on doctors permit. I feels this is a very good car and i will recomend it over the Mazda 3 Mainly because this is a Newer Model. Other than performance handling and looks wise both cars are almost on the same platform.

Got the New Lancer. Some comments. Infact i did not drive this before ordering. Infact UML did not have a car at the Time i ordered this. So when i took the driving position yesterday i was pretty suprised. Its a very large roomy car. Pretty Ample Space. Today i just pushed it a bit even if it has still done 73km only. I have to say its very comfortable than the Mazda 3. Handles much better. It has a bit of soft feeling in the steering. but i am a bit surprised to see so much handling on a large car. Interior Lacks the styling of the Mazda 3. Lancer has ample room in the back as well as the boot. I like the New Lancer. Engine Revs pretty well. Very Nippy car. I am sure the Evo X will be 10000 times rocking.

Newbie Question Here. When i am in slow moving Traffic or If its a Colour Light Red, even if its for a Few Seconds I always change from D to N. But i know many people just keep it on the D while braking for a quite long time, Does my Habit Save the Gear Box Life Time ? Just a question to the experts.

I think they allready have a LOCAL VERSION ON SIRASA TV Just give your RIDE + $$$$ to Dumi##a = YOUR RIDE PIMPED

Went to the Motorshow Yesterday. ( Last Day ). I would say i was very very disappointed. 1 ) Motorshow means the Enthusiasts should have time to study the vehicale and have the ability learn new things including Specifications / Technology and Prices. It was so overpacked that if you were just glimmering at one car you will drop dead because people push you. Except for Few Car Stalls none of them had no information whats so ever. May be because the Average Joe Like Us could not afford some of the cars. 2 ) Organsiers should have started the Show at 10 am rather than 3 pm to spread the crowd. It was basicaly like a Cattle Ranch. 3 ) I would agree with Chang. Why a Motorshow when you could look at the vehicales on the road, Because all the cars which were there had no information / no prices / no specifications. Organises should have had more flavour by having some Japanese Sports Cars and may be something special. 4 ) This is the first time where a motorshow was held and may be 0.01 % of the people could afford those vehicales except the Chinese Junk. I guess we were are all looking at the vehicales like we were at the Zoo. I guess this what we have VOTED FOR. Its like a Chimpanzee showing the Middle finger to us. What can we do. Just smile and go back home thinking that we can never afford those vehicales. HOPE THINGS CHANGE NEXT TIME.

max it seems you share my same concern. check my post on the top.

thanks for the info GTAm By the way bro. you own couple classic cars right, machan any at the motorshow ?

My other concern is What if we enter in to a Buy Back Agreement and we are ready to sell the Car after couple of Years and If the agents would have changed Hands - If so will that contract still be valid. Because from what i know FIAT Agecy ownership changed so many Times in the past. not to say that this will change but just want to know legally.

happy bday bro

machan only 1.6 and 1.5. very few people bring down the 1.6 because tax is more. both comes with vvti engines. manual is rare and i do recomend. If you buy the trip tronic do not go for bigger wheels. run on the same size 15's. i saw a black manual for 36 with the body kit and japanese racing wheel set but i was too late and it had been sold. was in mint condition, for any more info just txt me on 777487160.

bro check if you can get a manual, cos the vvti is pretty intresting to drive. other than check if it comes with fog lights. i have not seen the 1.5 with alloys but the its does come with aftermarket alloys. machan if you get hold of car which is the market because all the new cars being imported are more costly. get low milage. the trim looks best when its black. but it depends on extrerior colour you choose. blue cars come with black. white with grey and yellow and red cars i think with a cream colour. silver also has a cream colour.

Gear Head I just brought one yesterday. The Mazda Axela. My Bugdet was 3.5 MIL MAX. Infact i was the first person to import the mazda 3 through carmart in 2004. So i know the car allready. This is one of the best chasis you can find on a car in that price range, Handling is Super and Good Braking. Gear Head the Brand New Suzuki is 2.9 mil. its too small and does not have enough space. Civic ES is around 3.2. but interior sucks. Only New Model is the Mazda 3 which will change models in 2008 MID. If you take the New Corrolla its almost 4.4-4.6 mil which is not worth for a 1500cc car. ( Nice Interior ) So i guess Mazda 3 is in the right place for decent car with good looks and a good handling package,

LOL bro 5 % for VALUED AUTOLANKANS infact brothers this wax mite be expensive, but you can use more than 13-15 times. So saving is more over there, mazdaspeed infact LIquid wax is the latest, but you need to apply it properly. so much information on how to maintain your cars paint on http://www.meguiars.com/

LOL. yes you can buy them from there. Infact This wax is for CARCRAZY People. if your car is NEW i recomend NEXT TECH WAX. If your car is totally faded with lots of bird droppings / ACID BURNS i recomend ScratcX and then NEXT TECH WAX. If you are car is a EUROPEAN CAR I recomend Gold Class. Remember never use the Normal Cloth to wash your car. Those clothes are not Designed by Automotive Engineers for Washing Purposes over expensive Paints. Always use a Microfiber Towel which eliminates Swirls Marks. Protects the Paint and Also you can asborb the water within 1-2 two wipes saving Your Time. By the Way if you have a disgusting odor inside your car. use odor eliminator. It basicaly removes it permanantly. PERMANANTLY !!!!!!! Also our Tire Polish. Its the Only Legal Product in California. If you take other products just check the WARNINGS. They say CANNOT BE SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. WHY IS THIS ???? I was to have a Promotion on A/L but i guess MADZ was too busy with work. Anyways we will soon have A/L + Meguairs Car Getogether !!! By the Way most economical Wax over there is Cleaner Wax which is the NUMBER 1 selling US product. Cheers Guys. And Thanks Minice Ace. Meguiars is the Oldest and Most Exlcusive Car wax in the World used by CAR ENTHUSIASTS also is the factory wax at Mercedes Jaguar and BMW.

RED LIGHT Forget that car dude. I would aways recomend you a UNREG CAR. COS AT THE END OF 3-4 YEARS YOU WILL BE SPENDING THE SAME VALUE IF YOU BUY A USED CAR.
