  1. Has anyone got first hand experience in buying or selling a car recently? Is there an actual market price reduction at least for Kei cars? 1000cc category seems to have become even more expensive šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
  2. Hey folks, Did not want to create a new thread since my question is exactly the same. Do we have updated places around Colombo, apart from the two mentioned above? (will be checking them too) My requirement is to find OEM shock absorbers (rear) for a Honda Vezel owned by a relative. I checked with Hyb*** C*r* @Yakkala and they quoted around 53/- per side, excl. the dust cover. At Stafford its 68/-. Thanks.
  3. Does anyone know a place to repair/service a seat reclining (mechanical) system? Seems both driver side and passenger side seats are kind of stuck.. Hoping to take it to a seat cushioning/carpeting place to get checked.. any other option?

      If it is non-power then yeah...most seat cushioning places can fix it. I would have said Deen's but they are pricey and 90% of the time have a backlog of work.

      Yeah its just a mechanical one, thanks @iRage. I'll checkĀ out a few places including Deen's

  5. Where is this mentioned? Since this specifically includes the category 'more than 3 years old' in the relevant tax tables, I thought importing older vehicles will be permitted..
  6. So we are effectively a month away from almost a life event for a car lover in SL.. šŸ˜„ but still do not know the concrete details how it would work - who will be allowed to import, whether there is going to be a restriction upon the amount of vehicles imported (which I hope there will be), whether older cars will be allowed to be brought down and the exact prices.. typical SL way šŸ˜… Also I assume the 2nd hand market is at a standstill, at least for some price brackets.
  7. I agree with most of the comments - however, this is different from the previous story that has been around in the sense that actual dates are proposed. But yeah, right now it does seem like this is a pre-election BS as usual, albeit a bit scary unless its properly planned. Yup, exactly. True. I know for sure that I cannot/won't. Also right now, I don't think SL as a country can afford too (I mean private use vehicles) - as a car enthusiast I would love to see some of the newer cars in SL, but definitely not at the cost of losing whatever the little FC reserves we have managed to collect in the last couple of years.
  8. Last minute election promises maybe? But this provides a concrete timeline: https://pmd.gov.lk/news/import/ In a nutshell, the timelines are: Stage 1: The importation of public passenger transport vehicles, special purpose vehicles, and other non-motorized goods will be allowed starting October 1, 2024. Stage 2: The temporary suspension on the importation of commercial or goods transportation vehicles will be lifted on December 1, 2024. Stage 3: The importation of personal usage motor vehicles (including cars, vans, sports utility vehicles, pickups, etc.) will be permitted starting February 1, 2025. Not a lot of details provided about a quota etc. I hope they won't just allow to import without any control.
  9. Has anyone usedĀ mk-kashiyama brake pads? A relative of mine has been offered a front brake pad set for a Honda Vezel for LKR 14k. Seems a legit company, seeĀ https://www.mk-kashiyama.com/en.Ā

      I'm using their Brake shoes. nothing to complain.

      Thanks Ruslan. They went ahead with the brake pad change, and I was told everything is fine so far.. Seems this manufacturer has brake pads for many Jap vehicles, and the reviews in the internet are positive..

  10. I second this - Did back in 2022, very much worth it. @DN557zz sent you a DM of the location
  11. Hey @tiv, Just for my knowledge, what is the reason you would go for re-bore and larger pistons (even if a re-bore is not needed)? To gain additional power?
  12. Congratzz mate! That looks an awesomely clean car. Are the tail lights an aftermarket addition? Seems different to the one I remember from FD1. Please post some interior pictures as well. I only have driven FD1 autos, I'm sure the manual would be even better. Enjoy your new ride!
  13. Now where are the photos that we all are eager to see? 😁
  14. Congratz! She looks stunning, great color as well. Am also a huge Mazda fan Headlight modification looks cool as well (Hope it has been done properly). Waiting to see some detailed pics in a new thread!
  15. @chan5 if you are still in the hunt, saw that there are couple of Mazda2 cars around Colombo for sale in ik***.lk site - 2016, imported by agent as per the ads.
