  1. I've got 9.xx - 10.xx something in heavy traffic with AC. I've heard that the manual version does better
  2. @trinity why does the coolant overflow tank seem empty
  3. I reckon you might be able to find a 2007-2008 EX for that budget...
  4. Manufactured year is printed directly on the oil canister itself innit? (not on the label) Do oil importers/dealers even have the necessary tech to erase existing date off the plastic and print a new date?
  5. I thought mazdas are quite reliable workhorses (except for rust issues that is... any place that retains moisture seems to lead to rust on Mazdas of that vintage)
  6. Happy New Year AutoLankans!!! Amen to that @trinity!!!
  7. Every vehicle with idle stop/start feature does...
  8. Thanks for the review!!! So did you get the recall issue fixed?
  9. Sorry to hijack the thread but a quick question : I have a dashboard spray (Brand : Flamingo) that is 2 years old - the spray can itself has started to rust but it has 2/3 of liquid left so I didn't throw it away. It doesn't mention anything about an expiry date - only says the its manufactured in 2016. Can I still use this without any ill-effects? How long does chemicals like these usually last?
  10. Merry Christmas! ඔබ සැමට සුබ නත්තලක් වේවා! கிறிஸ்துமஸ் வாழ்த்துக்கள்!
  11. Looks like someone disassembled the door card for some reason and couldn't put it back properly? Cannot think a reason for something like this to happen... ? do all 4 doors look the same?
  12. Your Turn
  13. Lotus Esprit
  14. You make dolphins, townaces and 110s sound quite seksy ?
  15. You're very welcome! We expect a fair return for our help though once you buy your new Lancer/Axela/CIvic you should share some pictures of her with us Eg: http://autolanka.com/forums/topic/18754-my-new-ride-mistubishi-lancer-cs1-glx-at-yom-2007/
  16. So, @ramdr, now you know how to identify a GDI Lancer... Just pop the hood and take a look at the intake manifold. To sum everything up; If the intake manifold looks like this and/or if it has a engine cover with GDI lettering and/or if it has a GDI emblem anywhere on the body it's a reconditioned JDM Lancer CS2 with a GDI engine. If the intake manifold looks like this, it's a reconditioned Lancer CS2 with a PFI (EFI) engine. (So you shouldn't turn down a CS2 just because the CR says it's reconditioned; it could still have a PFI engine) If the intake manifold looks like this, it's a Brand New import Lancer with a PFI (EFI) engine. @trinity @Sampath Gunasekera
  17. The 4G13 engine looks like this too, right? This pic is from @Sampath Gunasekera's CS1 thread:
  18. @Davy I did some googling and found some pictures of GDI and PFI 4G15 engines, can you take a look at them to see if I got them correct? 4G15 GDI Front Back In the engine bay 4G15 PFI (EFI) Front Back In the engine bay It looks like identifying the PFI engine is rather easy even if the engine cover of the GDI engine is not present. As @Davy said the intake manifold (those big pipes behind the engine) is a dead giveaway
  19. Nope only the 4G15 engine had a GDI version. I'd go for the Lancer , Axela is known for its rust issues
  20. Most probably it will return...
  21. CS1 and CS3 Lancers did not come with GDI engines so you don't need to worry about them. As for CS2 Lancers with 1500CC engines there are both GDI and PFI versions. Easiest way to recognize one would be checking the CR (the book) - if the car was imported brand new it should have a PFI engine as the local Mitsubishi agent, Unit#d Mot#rs, didn't import Lancers with GDI engines AFAIK. Only reconditioned JDM imports came with GDI. I think @Davy would be able to provide a more detailed reply on how to differentiate a GDI CS2 from a PFI CS2.
  22. You could go for a 2010 - 2012 Nissan Tiida...
