Oh you meant MY doctors pass! Sorry sorry I thought xxx was raving about all passes in general. No mine stays on as a slap-in-the-face too all tree-hugging permit using Prius driving doctor types. I'm immensely proud to have that pass on my car! As much as my colleagues are confounded/irked/outraged by it!!

Komi my point was knowing the great lengths you went to make the car look what it is right now, the pass (due to its size) for me came across as a bit of an eye sore. That’s it. I have no issues with doctors, lawyers, wanabe VIPs displaying passes on their windshields. As you have rightfully put it, it is a vocational privilege and there’s no reason for you not to be proud to have one after all the hard work you out in to become one (a doctor I mean).

Sorry men. Really, I misunderstood. You're right, there are times when I wish that damned thing was smaller! Completely obstructs A pillar vision.

A few updates:

1. Removed the bc cams and installed the stock ones to check on a vtec issue. Good news is that vtec is working perfectly fine and the car is a firecracker. The bc cams need to be installed properly and the ecu remapped. Previous tune by Zackie wasn't working for me, and I switched to Ashan silva from D&D. Work in progress, of course, I will be going back to him end march, so will keep you boys posted.

2. She's about to go in to get the cosmetics sorted. Paint peeling from here and there etc

3. Ordered the complete set of prothane shifter linkage bushings and linkage pin (6$ oem Honda on eBay, 4000 rupees in Sri Lanka) waiting for them to arrive. That play in the shifter is like having a thorn in my backside.

All in all, she's come alive in the last month after Ashan got his hands on her. Expecting greater nights once and cam/ignition timing is adjusted and remapped.

Sweet!

Komisiripala · March 10, 2014

I swear I did not type greater "nights". But that typo is so awesome I can't remember what I actually wrote!

Komisiripala · March 11, 2014

Pericles · March 12, 2014

Now when you boys see me wandering around with a camera, gimme a wave, ok?

Komisiripala · March 12, 2014

Will give you more than a wave. I'm at thoroughbreds. And lavos.

Komisiripala · March 16, 2014

so during the big match weekend i got a few things sorted.

1. raised the rear end slightly. got tired of scraping my ass all over the place. a bit too high now need to lower it again. one of those "i'm never happy with this" moments

2. entire rear suspension bushing set was redone. car handles much better now and no "jabos" sounds from here and there when cornering.

3. got that awful paint peel-off fleck sorted. the rivet holes were filled, rear end sanded and painted properly. finally i have an ass worthy of talking about.

also had the power steering hoses replaced.

few other little ding dongs planned for this year. will update as it happens

Hoonigan · March 17, 2014

Did you get the full Poly bushing kit or just the trailing arms like you talked about? If you went full poly, how's the ride now?

Komisiripala · March 17, 2014

No Machan. Full rubber. Oem. Full poly wouldve cost me an arm and a leg.

Car is coming together bit by bit. It's such a good feeling

Hoonigan · March 17, 2014

Not that it was in pieces LOL

Speaking of which, how's the Datto? Or have you been having too much fun during big matches to forget about it?

Komisiripala · March 17, 2014

waiting for the alcohol to dissipate. work has slowed down again

Komisiripala · March 17, 2014

so here's a little something i was upto a few weeks ago. just after the stock cams were installed. i'm in no way pushing it here, so its not blsitering-ly fast. but the VTEC works, and works well.

Gummybr · March 28, 2014

Saw you cruising down Pirivena Road last night, car emits a nice note at low revs.

Komisiripala · March 28, 2014

Was after the match. My in laws live down there. Yeah the exhaust is sweet! Loud when it has to be...

Got the side skirts sorted finally. They weren't clipped in place so got that done.

Got the wife a little seat cushion to lift her tuckus when she sits. Never heard the end of that!!

Also playing around with ignition timing. Feel it's too advanced at the moment.

fiat fan · March 28, 2014
