Prami · January 30, 2009

ah yes, Thanuja of Hedha Enterprises

Is he still there? if its send the contact details..

Prami · January 30, 2009

Charitha, thanks for the advice. Still I didn’t check the price in this model. Machan, before and after the installation how about the fuel consumption in your car ?

I have checked the price from Motor Cade in this model. Now they didnt import full kits. They have only the filter. Filter price is 9000LKR. Intake pipe have to do manually (from Tokimo or Elcardo)

OT, but VVTi , how much is the P11 returning?
its a manual right?

Sorry for the late reply Devinda, I was getting around 8.0-8.5km/l... i think it is around 9.5 now...slight increase and yes it a manual. No complaints. Actually yesterday I removed the whole assembly and cleaned the throttle body and all... not much dirt as I expected. Fairly clean, even after 3 months of rather heavy usage.

But in long trips, I managed about 510-525Kms out of a full tank of 52 litres. But unoless its a placebo effect, I am certainshe feels different. My BIL who drove it before the K&N said there is definitely a change. Revs up easier as well.
