bruh @iRage unfortunately no the car isn't upbadged 😛 

No the thing is some people had sold for 110, others have sold for 170. Don't want to look back on this and think "damn should've priced higher" 

For that...you will have to check what each car has and see what the condition of each is...so if the range is 110-170...do an educated guess as to where your car would stand depending on the specs available in the local market and the condition it is in.

feck it 180 it is then

Go for a Honda City (sx8) or a EK3

I hate the looks of all honda cars. I wont even keep a honda car even if I was given one free, id sell it the very next day  

lol im pretty sure ur going to end up with no cars but a tuk may be  

Here’s the changes from Customs.

http://www.customs.gov.lk/public/files/tariff/Luxary Tax on Motor Vehicle Effective From 01-11-2019.pdf

I am paying this tax since 2019, first owner has payed the first installment in 2018 when he registered the car. Since then it has to be paid on or before the Revenue license renewal date. However there is no check when I get the new License whether I have paid the luxury tax for the year or not.

The amount to be paid is calculated based on reducing balance basis. So the installment goes down every year. I guess if you want you can pay all in one go as well. They give us 1 or 2 month grace period as well, failing to do so within that period will amount to a penalty charge. Which I had to be paid on the first year. It was 25% or something  

edit : I suppose the changes only applies for new registrations since 11-19

Got my vehicle transferred under my name finally on Monday. You need to make an appointment and if you want to go in you need the original txt message sent by RMV or the stupid security guy wont let you in.

Other than that is was a smooth process where i went in at 11.30 and came back and collected the CR sharp @ 2.0 Also no social distancing etc etc. so you need to be double masked/with gloves etc.

Mine was a KL number

Any dark colour car is difficult to maintain broo.. Even i go through the same shit though mine isn't black.. no matter what i only wash it on the weekend (if i don't have any special event to participate). Tops 2 days a week and thats it  

Yeah quite sad, does waxing or anything help?

Up to some extent in terms of cleaning. but dust will always be visible..

Eurobeat to the rescue

@Hyaenidae I have an InitialD playlist that I bang out all the time, unfortunately the setup I have only supports CDs and Cassetts and I don't want to swap it out to a different setup because the car will never have that original feel.

(Yes I reverse a Camry without Reverse Sensors or camera's, practically drowning in women atm).

togetherrrrrrr................ foreveerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

Dammit I'll be rewatching it all over again gee thanks

 Link because the PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW

I remember those threads *evil laugh* Was much younger and then...

Too old to fight now, or tell people off for ruining perfectly good OEM lights and replacing them with Chinese junk lights that only work in the daytime...😁It takes too much effort: So the younger buggers better step up and carry on those grand traditions! 

@MaleCortana you've been reading the old threads and taking notes right? Okay, you can be the ring-leader. Right, now go find someone and start giving them hell !!

lol !! I'm joking obviously 🙄 🙃. 

I don't remember being mean, but I do remember being a bit disparaging about people who messed with their lights and added dumb cosmetic stuff to their cars, bought Chinese rims etc. Now that I've joined the live quietly, and mind your businesses club- Well, for what its worth: If I offended anyone or caused any of you any distress:  ̶S̶U̶C̶K̶ ̶I̶T̶ ̶U̶P̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶G̶E̶T̶ ̶O̶V̶E̶R̶ ̶I̶T̶!̶ ̶l̶o̶l̶.̶ No, what I mean to say is 'Sorry'. 

@Hyaenidae Welcoming committee? Didn't meet them  

@Kavvz don't get me wrong, next thing you know they'll be butchering cars and putting fiber kits on the car so some level of filter was probably required. But seems like some 'car clubs' started from here and after getting told off moved onto other places 

(I saw a thread with the Viva Elite guy and the current Cefiro club guy being told off, (for good reason)

All good- All good things, as everything happens for the best!!

(I'm mildly embarrassed about some of my contributions to fueling fire on those threads...But you have to admit, some of those old threads are page upon page of darn GOOD READING !! Sorry-not-sorry! 😉!😄!  )

I won't recommend ordering any part through amayama or partsouq during this time period because customs are doing an absolute shambles of a job. I think you know what i mean

Everything I ordered from Amayama arrived to the doorstep w/o any tax, then again every one of those parcels weighed less than 500g

I've been using both since i have owned Cars. quite reliable and reasonably priced as well. im making sure that items is shipped through EMS. if not DHL or Aramex would anyway will go through Customs and slap a hefty Tax. with EMS you can managed it (If you know what i mean) 😉. only once i got a hefty tax due to a A* hole custom officer. like above said, if the package is not weighing much, i don't think it will make any issues. recently got delivered Trim pieces for Vitara (Rear Seat Mount covers) got delivered within 2 weeks of time.

Yes...for RHDs it will be on the passenger side. It is generally placed on the Left hand side of the car. So if you looked at a LHD market website/manual it will say drivers side.

Usually there is also one under the driver's seat. This one is  fairly constant and is almost always under the driver's seat.

ohh alright @iRage then why don't they just say left side of car as opposed to driver side or something  

An actual Denso one for 70K is pretty cheap. As for the change...depends on what the noise is. If it is because the pully is slightly loose..then I would have forgotten about it...but then if the clutch is acting up or the lines are clogged and causing things to hiss...then it is probably on its way out.

@iRage No I don't think the lines are clogged up, apparently the compressor was off for a while and it was low on oil. They told me not to buy a used compressor and keep because there's a chance it will get locked up since oil had run through it at one point. They were alright with buying a brand new one as that didn't have the risk but again said that they will have stock when I come back as well since a very low number of Camry's and RAV4s anyway come to their shop (with the 2.4L)
