Hey, awesome, the calipers landed rather quick didn't they? Always good to see a year off on a high note. Project R is near perfect and the Datto will be keeping you company for 2014. You sure had a good year :) Here's to an even better one ahead!

I really appreciate the dedication and effort you have put into the car. But IMHO it just doesn't look like an original DC2 Typer. It's missing that 'Juno se qua'. Frankly it looks like any old DC2 PO

Interesting development: I had an issue with the Teg over the last few months. She was getting sluggish, and vtec wasn't kicking in. Had to rev to higher rpm's to hit cruising speed, and had me thinking all sorts of things from final drive swap to a retune.

Finally had our tame racing drivers Dhilan Sabar and Nigel Perera thrash her around a little and see what's what. They both concurred on the fact that it was fuel starvation. Idle fuel pressure was 42 psi, which was normal but when throttled it dropped to the low 30's, instead of spiking. So the Perera-Sabar forum advised to:

1. Replace fuel filter, which was probably stock, and now pushing 15 years with our golden nectar

2. Service the vtec solenoid.

All done, replaced with a Nissan filter used on the track cars by the local boys, under 1600/-

And she shot out of the garage like a bat out of hell! Holy crap the difference!! Throttled fuel pressure reading now blips up to 60psi, and my god that makes a world of a difference tho. Still I want a more pronounced vtec engagement. Should speak to Zackie about it.

The conventional sri lankan response to it: dan car eka thel bonawa athi

:D

But on a serious note, that's some serious fuel starvation if it was in the low 30s when needing nearly double that.. When you say filer do you mean the one at the engine, or the one in the tank?

Yes I know the typical Sri Lankan in me thought that too lol! But actually now it does better fuel!

I meant the filter in the engine bay. Nigel was spot on with the issue. It was the original filter which came with the car. So 15+ years of gunk. And I never thought a fuel filter was rs 900/-!!

Asmitted, the Teg is my first b series honda, and first vtec car. Sometimes it pays to listen to people who know.

1. Stock pump. All local tuners agreed on the one fact that for a daily runner, stock pump and injectors are more than enough, since it's a gsr.

2. I checked records when you mentioned. No mention of it ever being changed. Hmm... Odd no? Our petrol can't be that good

You mean this is the first time you have changed the fuel filter after your ownership?

Was picking up wife/going to Zackie.

It's an Adriatic pearl blue patch. Where the filler didn't bind. And rivet holes for a peters' badge wasn't filled in before painting.

It's getting re sprayed once I get the front bumper as well. Maybe feb 2014

SAd news gents: Kapruka has lost my wilwood brakes. The package that had arrived under the consigned name was something my friend ordered last month. Not the wilwood/d2/brembo consignment ordered in September. After 4 months of waiting they finally admitted they lost it. They're refunding the 250,000 but what utter utter mismanagement. I'll never get that offer from wilwood again :(

Not just pads man. The entire wilwood front big brake kit. I'm talking four piston wilwood calipers. Those things are badass. They usually retail at around 1500$. Wilwood had a stock clearance sale of the caliper only, without the disc for Honda. 350$. That's what I got. It was only available a for a month. And Kapruka received them in USA but lost them in shipment. Bastards.

You're missing my friends order which included d2 coilovers for his civic, and brembo pads. Total was 260,000 and tax was 50,000

In other news, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of my vtec mystery. It just isn't turning on. Swapped the controller, swapped the ecu no luck. Am narrowing it down to a fault in the wire harness. Just can't explain it. Hondas unfailing technology just failed me!

      I'm going to buy a car in SL for 2 mil while being in Germany. Then I'm going to put up a public raffle draw and pick one lucky winner to gift that car when I have 600 participants registered in the raffle draw. Registration fee for each participant is Rs. 5000/-
      Why didnt I think of this before

      So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD 
      My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
      Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
      Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
      Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
      Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
      JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
      What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?

      I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
