  1. I have the same issue. But it comes randomly. Sometimes I'm able to start her even when the engine is hot. But sometimes when engine hot, have to press the gas pedal a bit to start then the engine will run very low for couple of seconds and come back to normal speed. In cold starts it always starts fine.
  2. Hi, I have a pretty basic thing to clarify from you guys. I was putting normal water to my car radiator until last service. At the service station they have flushed the radiator and added a coolant. Since I could see coolant is effectively doing its job at high revs especially when driving in E01, thought of using coolant regurarly instead of water. At service they used a 4 Litre can to top-up and I was using the remainder bit of the can until yesterday to top-up during mornings and it was emptied now. So I bought a new can today (pure coolant). Do I need to mix it 50 - 50 with water before using as the instructions say? coz at the service station they didn't mix it with water. Thanks !
  3. Thanks Don. Is there anything special regarding SU type among other types of carbs?
  4. Hi All, Just want to know the types of carburators available in Jap vehicles in SL context. What is the most popular one? pros and cons. My Lancer(1994) has a S type carb as my mech said (is it the SU type?). Please let me know some manitenance tips to keep it in good condition. Thanks in advance.

    Fuel Efficiency

    Yes that's what I'm thinking as well. Btw I'm quiet satisfied with my choice as it's not that bad on fuel and even if it's bad, it's not my highest concern. Just want to know whether the fact is correct in general.

    Fuel Efficiency

    Could Mitsubishi worse than Nissan on fuel? I got blasted from my relations when I bought my Lancer for not going for a commont type as Corolla or Sunny.

    Express-Way Updates

    As police say the fire might have caused by a short circuit. One question. Is there any possibility to catch fire by engine over heating?
  8. EP 82 would be a good option in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption. Or else a K11, not so good with fuel.
  9. I heard it too in some other version (un-muted version). somebody yelled several times to get the ambulance and in fact could clearly hear the siren at the end of the video.
  10. Two. Both of them are car enthusiats and were friends since childhood.
  11. Same in my work place too. but they are usually looking at pen drives, dongles etc. but lot of guys infact take mp3 players inside without trouble. One thing I heard there is when somebody plug a pen drive to any of the desktops, an alert will fire to IT manager's blackberry and in the employee contract they clearly mention doing such thing will be entitled for termination. real bull shit. Wonder whether your work place refers to my one.
  12. Man that's so shocking . How unlucky they are..
  13. We had this model some years ago and I agree it's a very good car. In our family it's the least trouble maker we have ever had.

    Fire @ Jj Wheels

    Probably a short circuit I think ...
  15. Of course it has good second hand value. don't know the fuel figures exactly but it is well known for its fuel economy
  16. The fog lamps look gorgeous. Well I haven't seen OEM spec fogs for CS that much in the road. Can anybody tell me where to find OEM fog lamps for a Lancer CB ? How much they roughly cost?
  17. Try a Jap one. If you go for Indian it atleast has to be near brandnew to use 2 - 3 years without trouble. (Personally I won't buy even a brandnew Indian for above price)
  18. You are most welcome ! and yes have seen such categories in some other auto forums.
  19. Try this one. I put that thinking someone will benefit as that is the oldest Lancer manuals I could find. But nobody's even bothered to leave a comment there. That's AL.
  20. exactly. even I was in the same situation some time back though didn't post it here asking advices.
  21. You would be lucky if you can find a CK1 for the price as I have seen a 1996 CK1 advertised for 11.50 some time back. CB8s could also start from 11 upto around 13 and also you can easily find a CB2 for 11. If you can put some more money, could try for a Primera P11 which is a fantastic car.
  22. Viewer Discretion advised !!!. Please do not watch if you have weak heart. Awful crash involving a 2012 Camry. They have tried to drift the car in normal Highway. All four guys died on the spot. this happened in Riyadh. http://youtu.be/BrNPoEjds6I
  23. Thanks mate !!
  24. Thanks guys for comments. How much is it going to cost to do an engine overhaul roughly?
  25. Thanks NZer !
