did some maintenance on the teg after a long time. the lights were bugging me. although davy did a good job on the outside, there was still a film on the inside, and the projectors were discolored. i was even playing aorund with getting new lights or even a jdm front end. but both are very expensive prospects. finally with some trepidation decided to remove them...

and hand over to the light cleaning guy in nedimala, dehiwala. he opened them up, and cleaned the insides, including the projectors. and the difference, well, speechless. they look like they just rolled off the shelf. light output is much better now.

also got the clutch serviced, upper arms aligned etc etc. podi podi stuff. waiting on the brakes now.

Huge difference on those lights! I did something similar on one of the CE106Vs lamps. I can still say which one is older, but it's a big improvement!

Speaking of which, there's a 106 wagon next to the Teg! Pity about those awful wheel covers though!

Kudos to Komi for such amazing effort on the teg Remarkable what he's done. Can't believe I read the whole darn thread. So tempted to sell my car & go do a restoration project like this.

Btw came across this superb comparison against the new Civic Si! Gave me goosebumps lol.

Thanks men. Yes it gave me many constipated days!! Effort was worth it tho. Nice to see that it's still the benchmark on front-w-d motoring!

Agreed! Good stuff, Charith!

fuzzo · December 12, 2013

have you considered a front lip?

Komisiripala · December 12, 2013

Thought about it, but car is low as it is. And a lip might get dragged away sooner that I'd like!

Octanehead · December 13, 2013

You put a lip to this, Komi would be stranded! I found out the hard way lol But its an Amazing car to drive!

Komisiripala · December 13, 2013

Thanks Charith. It's nice to have a others perspective on that. Guess I'm nitpicking a bit too much about throttle response and gear ratios etc etc...

But one thing tho, the gsr brakes are spot on! Almost feel as if the wilwood 4 pots were overkill.

Komisiripala · December 14, 2013

The stories I could tell you...

SpeedyAsA · December 16, 2013

I saw your car on yesterday(15/12/2013) around 3.30 PM @ Mt Lavenia. It is absolutely a treat to watch Komi.. Really nice.

Shouldn't they be giving you a complimentary copy if they featured your car in it?

Komisiripala · December 16, 2013

I am. It's in the mail. I couldn't wait. I've been reading motor mag since it was called "motor trading post" back in 1996, and this has always been my dream!!

Nope, am doing my masters at ICBT Mount(next to your school ) & I was driving towards Piliyandala. Yeah, for sure it should be more a treat to drive. I have gone through the entire "Project R" thread & I can imagine how nice it would be..
